Brèves internationales du SNPL France ALPA – Janvier 2022
Safety Bulletin IFALPA: Maintaining Safe Operations with Radar Altimeter Interference from 5G
This Safety Bulletin was created using the ALPA-International Safety Alert of the same name. The Federal Aviation Administration has issued Airworthiness Directives (ADs) for aircraft equipped with certain Radar (Radio) Altimeters prone to interference by 5G Wireless signals. In addition, the FAA has issued Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMS) for specific locations where the presence of 5G wireless signals will interfere with aircraft radar (radio) altimeters beginning January 19, 2022. The power levels and proximities of the 5G signals are at higher power levels than any other deployment currently in use elsewhere in the world.
La Lettre d’information du SNPL National – Décembre 2021
La Ligne n°675 de décembre 2021 est disponible
Alors que nous nous apprêtons à tourner la page de 2021, la rédaction de La Ligne vous propose de revenir sur les faits marquants de l’année dans sa traditionnelle rétrospective. Nous avons choisi cette année de nous focaliser plus particulièrement sur le pavillon français et sur les compagnies possédant une base en France. Entre espoirs et incertitudes quant à son avenir, c’est un secteur aérien convalescent qui reprend peu à peu ses marques. Dans ce numéro 675, nous revenons également sur les temps forts de la conférence de l’European Cockpit Association (ECA) qui fêtait à cette occasion ses 30 ans (...)

Briefing Leaflet IFALPA: Aviation Security-the role of IFALPA and its Member Associations
Any attack on civil aviation constitutes a wilful hazard to the safety and security of passengers and crew. The prevention of such attacks is one of the highest priorities of the Federation. Aviation security should be a multi-layered approach with an emphasis based on ground security. In-flight security should not be considered a substitute for comprehensive and effective ground security measures.
Position Paper IFALPA: Commercial Space Operations
IFALPA believes that whether an industry is emerging or well established, it should comply with the development of safety risk mitigations that would limit the impact to users. Freedom of navigation and equality of use must be maintained.
Position Paper IFALPA: Deployment of IFSOs in the Passenger Cabin of an Aircraft
In principle, IFALPA believes that firearms should never be allowed in the passenger cabin of commercial air transport aircraft as they represent a threat to aircraft safety and security. Nevertheless, the flight crew community accepts that States may mandate the deployment of armed In-Flight Security Officers (IFSOs) on board civil aircraft, subject to the provisions detailed in ICAO Annex 17, Chapter 4.7 and related Guidance Material in Doc 8973 (the Security Manual) Chapter 12.4 (...)
Position Paper IFALPA: Crew Member Security Aspects of an Operator’s Security Programme
Commercial flights are sometimes operated into areas and destinations where the security situation is very difficult to predict. Moreover, the situation in any country has the potential to change rapidly due to a sudden terrorist attack, civil unrest, or a natural disaster which can put both security and safety under threat (...)
