Another Flybondi B737 Incident at Bariloche

A Flybondi Boeing 737-800, registration LV-KJF, performing flight FO-5276 from Buenos Aires Ezeiza to San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, landed on runway 29 at 07:25L on July 27, 2024. Due to frozen runway conditions, the aircraft could not vacate the runway and required towing. All passengers were safely disembarked, and subsequent flights FO-5278 and FO-5280 were diverted to Neuquén Airport; future operations depend on runway condition assessments by the airport manager.

European Cockpit Association Opposes Single-Pilot Proposal

The European Cockpit Association (ECA) has launched an ad campaign at Brussels Airport to raise awareness about the proposed shift to single-pilot operations in commercial flights. The proposal, driven by aircraft manufacturers and airlines for cost-cutting and perceived pilot shortage reasons, is under evaluation by the European Aviation Safety Agency. ECA's Technical Affairs Director, Tanja Harter, emphasizes that having two pilots is crucial for safety, as they work together to solve problems and operate flights effectively; the rulemaking process for this proposal is expected to start in the fall, with potential implementation by 2027.

The May 2024 findings revealed that ECCAA achieved scores above the regional average in Airworthiness, Personnel Licensing, and Flight Operations within the ICAO North American, Central American, and Caribbean (NACC) region, prompting commendation from ECCAA's Board of Directors for the staff's diligent work.

SARPcheck global aviation safety audit: A wet lease, codeshare, ACMI Booster

SARPcheck is a new global aviation safety audit that assesses airline compliance with select ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) across defined ICAO Annexes. The primary aim of this audit is to enhance global flight safety while providing an affordable and accessible tool to facilitate ACMI, wet lease, and codeshare operations. The ICAO Annexes and SARPs that SARPcheck focuses on are specifically those outlined by regulatory and industry standards, including FAA requirements for overseeing foreign air carriers and the TCO approval elements of EASA.

SARPcheck is governed by a London-based not-for-profit organization, the Safety Audit Review Partnership (SARP Ltd.), which accredits Safety Quality Organizations (SQOs) such as AEROTHRIVE, Aviation Quality Services and WAKE (QA) LIMITED to conduct these audits globally. Detailed information about the program, including the SARPcheck Program Manual (SCPM), informative brochures, and the latest updates, is available on our website at www.SARP.org. For further inquiries or personal assistance, please feel free to send me a message. I'm always happy to help! Lufthansa City Airlines is the global launch customer of SARPcheck.
