Bird Strike Causes Fatal Ejection of Ukrainian Trainee Pilot During Training Flight

On August 22, 2024, an Aero L-39 Albatros belonging to the Ukrainian Air Force suffered a bird strike in Khmelnytskyi Oblast, Ukraine, during a low-level training flight. The impact with a stork shattered the cockpit canopy, leading the trainee pilot, seated in the front, to eject prematurely due to panic. The low altitude prevented the ejection seat from fully deploying, resulting in the trainee's fatal impact with the ground. The instructor, who remained in the aircraft, successfully managed to land the plane. An official inquiry into the incident has been initiated by the Air Force.

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.
