FAA Launches Tech Sprints for Runway Safety Enhancements
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is implementing a three-part technology sprint to enhance runway safety. Tim Arel, FAA's Air Traffic Organization COO, announced the initiatives at a Senate subcommittee hearing on November 9. The sprint includes the Surface Awareness Initiative, providing situational awareness displays at airports; the Approach Runway Verification project for wrong surface landing detection; and a Runway Incursion system, deploying audible and visual alarms to alert controllers of potential runway conflicts, expected to reach over 70 towers within the next 18 months.

Enhancing Aviation Safety: Neural Network Predicts Aircraft Trajectory in ADS-B Failures
A groundbreaking study led by Zhanji Yang, Xiaolei Kang, Yuanhao Gong, and Jiansheng Wang has proposed an advanced method to predict aircraft trajectory using a bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) network. This approach leverages historical Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data to enhance aviation safety, particularly in scenarios where ADS-B signals are disrupted due to equipment failures or signal interference. The researchers solved the challenge of frequently modeling different aircraft types by utilizing historical ADS-B data. Additionally, they introduced a data cleansing technique for ADS-B raw data, ensuring high-quality data sources for their prediction model. The new framework's effectiveness surpasses traditional methods, showing significant improvements in aviation safety, especially in busy airspace. This innovative approach marks a substantial step forward in air traffic management, offering a more reliable solution during ADS-B failures.

Revised Investigation for Ural A320 Incident
On November 9th, 2023, Rosaviatsia, the Russian aviation authority, announced the cancellation of the initial report on the Ural Airlines Airbus A320 incident from September 12th, 2023. The cancellation follows the alleged emergence of new facts regarding the aircraft's forced landing in a field near Kamenka, Ubinsky District, Russia, after experiencing a hydraulic failure and running out of fuel. New facts have been cited as the reason for the cancellation, but it was not detailed what these facts are supposed to be. A newly appointed commission is set to reconduct the investigation, with Russian media suggesting the reevaluation is due to concerns over the quality of the initial inquiry.
