ATSB Final Report: Stick Shaker Activation on REX SF34 Approach at Merimbula

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) released its final report on August 14, 2024, regarding the stick shaker activation incident involving a REX Regional Express Saab 340B at Merimbula, New South Wales, on June 8, 2023. The report identified that the incident occurred due to a combination of turbulent conditions, autopilot settings, and reduced engine power, leading to an undetected airspeed reduction below safe limits until the stall warning activated. Contributing factors included the activation of the ice speed system during the descent and a crew distraction related to windscreen wiper settings, prompting the ATSB to recommend improved crew awareness of autopilot modes and airspeed monitoring during approach phases in similar conditions.

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.
