The aircraft continued for a safe landing on Guadalajara's runway 10 about 35 minutes later. A passenger reported the cabin pressure was lost, the passenger oxygen masks were released. The aircraft landed safely in Guadalajara, a number of fellow passengers required medical attention after landing. The emergency descent had taken the aircraft out of range of receivers of some flight tracking website which prompted a local newspaper to report the aircraft having lost radar and radio contact, which prompted social media to spread "news" the aircraft had gone down in a tail spin, these social media reports even reached Russian media (RT). Radar and radio contact with ATC however was never lost. http://avherald.com/h?article=4bcbbd29&opt=0 Back to Top Incident: ASL Ireland A306 at Milan on Aug 23rd 2018, could not retract landing gear An ASL Airlines Ireland Airbus A300-600 on behalf of DHL, registration EI-OZL performing flight QY-135 from Milan Bergamo (Italy) to Leipzig (Germany), was climbing out of Bergamo Airport when the crew stopped the climb at FL080 because the gear didn't retract.

DEL RIO, Texas (AP) - A fatal plane crash involving a flight instructor last year in Texas was caused by a total hydraulic failure of the jet's engine, the U.S. Air Force said. Investigative documents were released Wednesday about the November crash that killed Capt. Paul J. Barbour, The San Antonio Express-News reported . The twin-jet, two-seat T-38 Talon jet was based out of Laughlin Air Force Base near Del Rio, Texas. It was flying a routine training mission when it crashed near Amistad Reservoir between two subdivisions, about 14 miles (23 kilometers) northwest of the base. "I don't know what the pilot was thinking," Val Verde County Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez said at the time. "But it could have been a lot worse had it gone into either one of these two subdivisions." Capt. Joshua Hammervold, an instructor pilot, was able to eject. He was injured but survived. The ejection system also should have propelled Barbour from the cockpit, said Marilyn Holliday, spokeswoman for the San Antonio-based Air Education and Training Command. But the 32-year-old flight instructor failed to arm his ejection seat during a preflight checklist and was trapped in the plane during the crash, the report said. Barbour was from Van Nuys, California. Flight operations at the base were suspended following the crash but resumed a week later. Laughlin, which is home to 3,000 airmen and civilians, is one of four of the Air Education and Training Command's undergraduate pilot training bases. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/texas/articles/2018-08-23/air-force-engine-failure-caused- texas-jet-crash Back to Top Pilot in Anoka crash reported smoke in aircraft N215SF, shown at the airport at Breezy Point in May 2017. The pilot of a 63-year-old vintage military airplane that crashed Thursday at Anoka Blaine Airport reported his plane was apparently on fire just before it crashed at the end of a runway. According to conversations between the pilot and the airport tower controller (via LiveATC), everything was normal until seconds before the plane was to land. The pilot, Charles Cook, 65, of Ham Lake, gave no indication of any problem when he reported his first position to the controller. The controller asked if the pilot wanted to execute an "overhead break," a military maneuver in which the plane flies over the runway then performs a 360-degree turn to land on the same runway. The pilot reported he wanted to perform the landing maneuver but moments later reported he had smoke in the cockpit as he tried to lower the landing gear while making the turn. The pilot was airlifted from the scene, according to WCCO. The plane had taken off from Airlake Airport in Farmington. The T-28 is a military training aircraft used by the Navy and Air Force starting in the 1950s. The military stopped using them in 1984. https://blogs.mprnews.org/newscut/2018/08/pilot-in-anoka-crash-reported-smoke-in-aircraft/ **************** Date: 23-AUG-2018 Time: 11:05 Type: North American T-28B Trojan Owner/operator: Aviation Speciality LCC Registration: N215SF * C/n / msn: 200-86 Fatalities: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 1 Other fatalities: 0 Aircraft damage: Written off (damaged beyond repair) Location: Anoka County-Blaine Airport, MN (ANE/KANE) - United States of America Phase: Approach Nature: Unknown Departure airport: Destination airport: Anoka County-Blaine Airport, MN (ANE/KANE) Narrative: A North American T-28B Trojan crashed and burst into flames close to the runway threshold at Anoka County-Blaine Airport, MN.

Flight FX910 originated from Memphis International Airport in Tennessee with a crew of two on board. Following the landing gear collapse, the no.1 engine pylon was severed and a significant fire erupted in that area. The aircraft came to rest on the edge of the runway, 1934 meters past the runway threshold of runway 10L. An explosion occurred some 75 seconds after the airplane came to a stop, blowing a wing panel in the air. The airport fire services arrived on scene about 1 minute and 45 seconds after the plane stopped. By then the left wing was fully engulfed in flames. The fire consumed the left hand wing, outboard of the no.1 engine. Probable Cause: PROBABLE CAUSE: "The failure of the left main landing gear (MLG) due to fatigue cracking that initiated at a corrosion pit. The pit formed in the absence of a required protective cadmium coating the cause of which could not be determined from available evidence. Contributing to the failure of the left MLG was the operator's overhaul limit, which exceeded that recommended by the airplane manufacturer without sufficient data and analysis to ensure crack detection before it progressed to failure."

Back to Top Back to Top China picks $16 billion worth of aviation projects for private investment SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China said on Thursday it would encourage private investment in 28 airport, drone and maintenance projects worth a total of 110 billion yuan ($16 billion), as part of its efforts to make the sector more globally competitive. Eleven of those projects already have private investors, such as the Ezhou cargo airport in Hubei province that Chinese courier S.F. Holding (002352.SZ) is investing in, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said in a joint statement with the National Development and Reform Commission. The remaining 17, which include a flight training school, drone delivery projects and some support services for Beijing's new airport, are seeking private funding, the statement added. Among them are China National Aviation Holding Co, the state-owned shareholder of the country's flag carrier Air China (601111.SS) (0753.HK) which wants partners for a logistics mixed-ownership reform project valued at 10 billion yuan. TravelSky Technology (0696.HK), which provides information technology services to China's aviation and tourism industries, is also open to private investment in an aviation logistics information project, it said. The regulators plan to open up more projects to private investment and will release details in due course, it added. Beijing had said in January that it would ease investment access to its aviation industry while retaining its grip over key airlines and airports in sensitive regions. These reforms are also in line with a broader effort Beijing has been making to restructure its bloated state-owned industries. China is the world's fastest growing aviation market and is forecast to surpass the United States as the biggest from 2022, according to the International Air Transport Association. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-aviation/china-picks-16-billion-worth-of-aviation-projects-for- private-investment-idUSKCN1L80D3 Back to Top FlightSafety and HAITE Aviation Safety and Training Sign a Purchase Agreement for an Airbus A320 Simulator NEW YORK (August 23, 2018) - FlightSafety International and HAITE Aviation Safety and Training Pte.

KVRR's Jessie Cohen tells us how the Delta Propel program will help develop the next generation of pilots. "Over the next decade, half of Delta's current pilot workforce will reach mandatory retirement age and so that means Delta expects to hire around 8,000 pilots to staff our daily flights across the world," said Brent Knoblauch, the Pilot Outreach Manager of the Propel Program. Pilots are needed but the airline has partnered up with eight universities nationwide, to hire through a new avenue. "If they follow these particular steps and meet these criteria, they are going to have a job for them where they wanted to be in their career," said Paul Lindseth, the dean of the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences. And with 147,000 flight hours just last year, UND is one of select few. "The University of North Dakota is the largest collegiate flight training program in the country and probably the world," Lindset said. With students from every state in the nation and many countries around the world, the Delta Propel Program will be another reason for students to travel near and far for the aviation program. "When you have the word Delta airlines, the Propel Program is going to raise some eyebrows as well as 'Hey, Delta is there we need to go there," Lindseth said. "It's an outstanding flight program that not only develops a pilot but it also develops a leader," Knoblauch said. For those who have an itch for flight, the new program sets you up for the future... "Pilots can fly for Delta connection carriers, they can fly for Delta private jets they can even fly for the United States Military we provide that defined options and customization of their career and it's all on a defined timeline of 42 months or less," Knoblauch said. But they also guide you through your college years. Each student receives a mentor who is a current pilot for Delta. "It helps us identify, select and develop the next generation of Delta pilots and do it at an earlier stage of their career," Knoblauch said. Those with the airline want to remind students that one of the most important things about Delta's culture is their love for the career. "A career as a pilot is not only sensational, it's rewarding, it's possible," Knoblauch said. And the university wants all young, eager pilots to take that leap and soar through the skies. "If they have a passion for flight they need to explore that passion," Lindseth said. The University of North Dakota is Delta's third launch for the Propel Program. Students have until September 5th to apply for the program. https://www.kvrr.com/2018/08/23/und-and-delta-partner-up-to-develop-the-next-generation-of-pilots- one-of-8-universities/ Back to Top Japan sees first woman qualify as fighter jet pilot MIYAZAKI - 1st Lt. Misa Matsushima, 26, has become Japan's first woman to qualify as a fighter jet pilot in the nation's Air Self-Defense Force (ASDF). "My longtime dream has come true. I want to become a fully-fledged pilot, no different from men, as soon as possible," said Matsushima after a ceremony Thursday at an ASDF base in Miyazaki Prefecture, marking the completion of a training course to become an F-15 fighter pilot. According to the ASDF, Matsushima, who completed the course alongside five men, is expected to start work piloting F-15s in six to 12 months, after undergoing further training to qualify for scrambling the jet to intercept aircraft intruding into Japan's airspace. "I hope she will continue to blaze that difficult path and become a role model for women who aspire to become fighter pilots," said Osamu Uemori, who taught her on the training course. A Yokohama native, Matsushima joined the ASDF after graduating from the National Defense Academy in March 2014. After obtaining her pilot's license in October 2016, she continued to work toward becoming a fighter pilot. Matsushima will be assigned to the 5th Air Wing at the Nyutabaru Air Base in the prefecture on Friday and will continue her training there. With the Defense Ministry aiming to double the number of female Self-Defense Force members, it has been easing restrictions to allow women to effectively work in all fields. The ASDF abolished gender restrictions on personnel becoming fighter and reconnaissance aircraft pilots in November 2015. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/08/24/national/japan-sees-first-woman-qualify-f-15-fighter- jet-pilot/#.W3_scc5KiUk Back to Top Facing pilot shortages, Delta and Horizon Air look to the next generation of aviation enthusiasts Delta said it expects to hire more than 8,000 pilots over the next decade to staff the thousands of daily flights it operates around the world as other pilots approach mandatory retirement age. Delta Air Lines, Alaska Air Group's Horizon Air and other regional carriers are rolling out programs this summer to develop their next generation of commercial airline pilots. The moves come as thousands of pilots near the mandatory retirement age of 65 in the coming few years, creating a pilot shortage aggravated by Chinese airlines poaching North American pilots with huge salaries as demand for air travel explodes across Asia. Future & Active Pilot Advisors, or FAPA, is holding a two-pronged pilot job fair in Seattle this weekend. It's for active pilots looking for new jobs, and also for young aviation enthusiasts from middle and high schools. Atlanta-based Delta, which has developed a major Seattle hub, launched its new Propel Pilot Career Path Program in July to develop its own next generation of pilots. Delta is initially partnering with eight universities that offer aviation programs and is interviewing their aviation students. Candidate-students it selects will be provided a qualified Delta job offer, describing a path and an accelerated timeline under which they could become a Delta pilot after spending 42 months or less working for a Delta Connection regional carrier. They'll also be paired with a Delta pilot as a mentor for the duration of their training. Delta is accepting applications for the program now. The Propel program also is offering training and leaves of absence to "a select number" of Delta employees interested in becoming pilots. Delta's program is beyond the airline's regular pilot recruiting efforts, which involve wooing pilots flying from other commercial airlines, the military or corporate sectors. FAPA's efforts are also aimed at current pilots and future ones, offering free events for aspiring aviators of all ages and their parents. Airlines recruiting pilots at the adult part of the event include Horizon Air, Air Wisconsin, Compass Airlines, Empire Airlines, Envoy Air, Gama Aviation Signature, GoJet Airlines, Piedmont Airlines, Silver Airways, Skywest Airlines and XOJET. The later future pilot forum, which is free for participants, educates students about pathways to commercial flying careers, including information about colleges and scholarships, and flight school options. The program also includes an industry outlook, said Laura Arden, FAPA's vice president of sales and marketing. Last year's event in Seattle drew more than 200 people, Arden added. FAPA's event features a screening of the National Geographic documentary, "Living in the Age of Airplanes." Staff from the Museum of Flight and three airlines will host round table discussions with aspiring flyers. FAPA Future Pilot Forum When: Saturday, August 25, 2018.

I am writing my thesis on automation trust and reliance and have prepared a research survey questionnaire. The link to the survey can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RYWG3JH The objective of this thesis is to better understand if automation trust and perception differs by age. Obtaining a better understanding of how trust varies by age will enable a closer examination of any side effects, specifically complacency. Additionally, this survey will enable additional exploration of the pilot's role in the aircraft depending on if perception of automation has changed. To be eligible to complete this survey, you must be over the age of 18 and at least hold a student pilot certificate. This questionnaire should not take longer than five minutes to complete and is both anonymous and confidential.
