Position Paper IFALPA: Sustainable Aviation Fuels
Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) or certified drop-in fuels represent a broad category of fuels derived from renewable, non-fossil sources, including advanced biofuels and e- fuels, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional jet fuel. The introduction of SAF will play a major role in the future decarbonization of aviation, together with the introduction of new engine and aircraft technology and, more efficient flight procedures and ATM improvements (...)
Position Paper IFALPA: Yellow Runway Edge Lights
It has been interpreted that the ICAO provision detailed in Annex 14, 5.3.9.7(b) “at the remote end of the runway from the end at which the take-off run is started” in a way that runways used for landings do not need yellow edge lights on the last one-third or 600m of a runway. According to the IATA Safety Report 2019-2024, 31 out of 40 runway excursions occurred during landings (...)

Position Paper IFALPA: Lithium Battery Fire/Smoke Risk on the Flight Deck
Lithium battery fire and smoke events in aviation pose various safety risks. Studies by EASA, FAA, and ICAO highlight the risk of lithium battery and Personal Electronic Device (PED) fire and smoke in the flight deck. A fire of any magnitude in the flight deck is a serious event and a risk to flight safety, but lithium battery fires may be impossible to contain. It is the unique characteristics of a lithium battery thermal runaway event that creates an increased risk dimension to this hazard mitigation issue (...)
Position Paper IFALPA: Fire Risk from Lithium Batteries in Airport Vehicles
Electrification of airside service vehicles is gradually becoming a normalized and integral part of airport operations with electric cars and other lithium battery powered airport ground equipment already being widely used in many airport environments. It is anticipated that other airport machinery, such as pushback vehicles, fuelling trucks and loading equipment, airport installations or ground / facility units, will be introduced in pursuit of carbon neutral goals of airports and air operators. The continuance of this trend will inevitably increase the number of electric vehicles used airside at airports, including in proximity to aircraft, which will increase the risk of an electric vehicle fire affecting aircraft and other critical infrastructure (...)
