Position Paper IFALPA: The Dangers of Reduced Crew Operations
There are numerous risks associated with reduced-crew and single-pilot operations. Most prominently, these risks stem from the increased workload for the remaining pilot, the elimination of a critical layer of monitoring and cross-checking and operating redundancy on the flight deck, and compromising the safety and security beyond acceptable levels of risk given the many variable emergency situations that may occur during a flight.
Safety Bulletin IFALPA: Unstable Approaches during Reduced Operations
Position Paper IFALPA: Reduced Runway Separation Minima for Night Operations
22 August 2019 - IFALPA is opposed to Reduced Runway Separation Minima being applied for Night Operations. The provisions to reduce runway separation have been agreed worldwide and should be used accordingly. The documented safety assessment for every runway that will be used is a major aspect in reducing separation but maintaining a high level of safety. With more and more utilization of stable approach criteria and thus the higher possibility of conducting a missed approach, the separation standards between two succeeding departing aircraft should also apply between a departing aircraft and an aircraft conducting a missed approach.
