25 juin 2020 - The aviation community grieves the tragic loss of lives aboard Pakistan International Airlines Flight 8303 on 22 May 2020. Our thoughts are with the families of those lost and the survivors who may still have a long road to recovery. We are extending our support to our Pakistani colleagues for whom this is undoubtedly a traumatic experience. The air transport industry is a complex system made up of people, procedures, and technology that interact to create the safest way to travel. The few accidents that occur are always a consequence of multiple factors, which combine in unprecedented ways to push a safe system over the edge towards a breakdown.

21 mai 2020 - As operations begin to return to normal, there will be a need to safely re-establish compliance with the ICAO Standards as interpreted in each State's regulations. The resumption of operations presents many challenges including the requalification and training of pilots. IFALPA believes pilots returning to the line must be: Qualified, Proficient, and Confident.

7 avril 2020 - On April 3, 2020 ICAO published State Letter 11/55-20/50 – Operational Measures to ensure safe operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the challenges faced by States due to the pandemic, flight crew and operators are facing difficulties complying with the validity period of their licenses and medical certificates in adherence with ICAO SARPs. This State Letter was in response to measures that were being taken by States to address these challenges. The information provided in this Safety Bulletin is meant as guidance to help our members determine whether they are qualified to operate internationally for their operator.

4 avril 2020 - IFALPA has become concerned that the COVID-19 pandemic is putting pressure on some operators and crew to neglect or suspend some aspects of aviation safety, such as the standards for crew fatigue management. As the aviation industry adapts to the restrictions put in place to combat COVID-19, the regular fatigue measures for flights are being pushed to their limits more than normal. The IFALPA HUPER Fatigue Management Working Group has provided some initial recommendations for operators and crews to consider whilst managing the risks of fatigue during these operations.

11 décembre 2019 - To keep pace with the rapid growth of the aviation industry, there is a pressing need to improve efficiency and effectiveness at the national, regional, and global levels. One of the ways the desired improvements can be achieved is for the aviation industry to consider gender diversity that would lead to a gender balanced industry. This means increasing female participation in the industry, as pilots and other professionals, hired for their abilities and qualifications.

6 février 2020 - The Auckland Airport runway 23L/05R has been deteriorating over the past few years. The maintenance required to keep the runway surface in a usable condition has increased significantly, however, this has not kept up with the rate at which the runway is deteriorating. As a result, there have been over 15 short notice unplanned runway closures. One, on 24 January 2020, resulted in the runway being closed for 40 minutes and causing the diversion of 9 aircraft, including a wide body international arrival.

11 décembre 2019 - Several airlines have recently been introducing software and tools produced by commercial third parties that enable flight crews to assess their own performance after every flight, based on FDM-derived data. There are differences in the way each of these tools work, how the flight is displayed (graphics, animations, etc.), and how data is transmitted to individual pilots and on which support (smart phone, tablet, PC, etc.), but the general idea conveyed by airlines is that such systems enable flight crews to review their last flight and identify possible areas of improvement.
