11 Decembre 2019 - Flying exposes aircrew to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation (e.g. UV-radiation exposure) is not addressed in this Briefing Leaflet. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to produce ions by pulling electrons from atoms and molecules. Ionizing radiation can be electromagnetic, such as x-rays and gamma-rays, or corpuscular, such as alpha particles, electrons, neutrons, protons, or heavyions.

16 Decembre 2019 - This reissued Operational Notice alerts airlines of the on-going risk to aircraft operations at BKK airport due to soft ground conditions affecting the taxiways, taxi lanes and aircraft stands. Soft ground conditions or “soft spots” have been encountered and reported by flight crews and ground service providers at BKK since at least 2008.

11 décembre 2019 - Human trafficking (human trafficking, trafficking in persons, TIP, or trafficking in human beings), despitebeing a heinous crime and a violation of human rights, is becoming one of the most profitable and fastest growing black-market businesses. It also serves as an important source of revenue for terrorism. The cross-border issue is not restricted to large cities, but also affects smaller communities, rural areas, and tourist areas.

10 Decembre 2019 - This IATA Operations Notice replaces 14SAB004 - IATA In-flight Broadcast Procedure (IFBP) Revision 7, in total.

11 décembre 2019 - ICAO defines screening as ”the application of technical or other means which are intended to identify and/or detect weapons, explosives or other dangerous devices, articles or substances which may be used to commit an act of unlawful interference.” This language, however, precludes the use of risk-based security systems in place of non-passenger screening processes, such as those used in the Known Crew Member (KCM) program in the United States. Moreover, it makes no mention of the security chain process (or the risk-based approach) necessary to weigh the associated risks of each employee group being allowed access to the sterile area of an airport.

The Safety and Technical Journal of IFALPA - 4ème trimestre 2019

04 Novembre 2019 - Safe winter operations normally require special procedures by airline maintenance, engineering, ground crew, and de-icing personnel. In Finland, FINAVIA and TRAFICOM publish an annual Safety Bulletin on winter conditions. The attached bulletin focuses on operations in northern Finland but the content is relevant to other locations subject to similar weather. It provides excellent guidance for both flight crews and operators.

01 October 2019 – On March 2019, longitudinal separation standards were reduced based on the availability of Space-Based ADS-B in the Shanwick (EGGX), Gander (CZQX), and Santa Maria (LPPO) Oceanic Control Areas in the North Atlantic (NAT), as part of the Advanced Surveillance Enhanced Procedural Separation (ASEPS) trials. The NAT region will be commencing the second phase of the ASEPS trials to include reduced lateral separation starting on or about 10 October 2019.

26 August 2019 - This position paper provides generic guidance for the design and specification of dedicated flight crew rest facilities provided for the exclusive use of flight crew on commercial transport aircraft operated with augmented flight crews. The main purpose of such facilities is to provide flight crew members with an adequate rest environment before commencement of the next in-flight duty period.
