Le 13 janvier dernier, le SPAF a publié un tract contenant un certain nombre de questions relatives à la réforme des retraites et ses impacts sur la CRPN, et vous incitant à réclamer les réponses auprès des Administrateurs de la CRPN. Les Administrateurs SNPL de la CRPN vous proposent, ci-dessous, d'y répondre directement.
Safety Bulletin IFALPA: Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), the Philippines
This Operational Notice from IATA alerts airlines of the on-going risk to aircraft operations at MNL due to unaddressed deficiencies on the airfield.
Communiqué de presse/Press Release de l’IFALPA : Entry into Force of the Montreal Protocol 2014
Following the 22nd instrument of ratification deposited with the Secretary General of ICAO, the Protocol to Amend the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft, more commonly known as the Montreal Protocol 2014 (MP14, ICAO Doc 10034), entered into force on the 1st of January 2020.
Safety Bulletin IFALPA: New Approaches for Haneda
Due to the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, there is a requirement to increase throughput at Tokyo’s Haneda airport. In order to achieve this throughput, it is necessary to introduce approaches to the previously unused approach Runways 16L&R. These runways have not been used for approaches previously due to noise concerns for the public. In order to appease the local public regarding the noise pollution, the JCAB (Japan Civil Aviation Bureau) has created RNP approaches and ILS approaches to runways 16L&R.
Position Paper IFALPA: Smoking and Aircrew
Cigarette smoking is the single most important preventable environmental factor contributing to premature death in the world. The high morbidity and mortality rates are due to the e ects of cigarette smoke on several diseases, but primarily on lung cancer, ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.
Position Paper IFALPA: Passenger Flights Carrying Deportees
There are necessary and important guidelines that crews should follow when passengers are carried who are not travelling of their own volition. Such flights often present challenging scenarios and there may be political and humanitarian viewpoints to be considered. Deportations are the result of a state judicial or administrative process. It is important to understand that Operators, Aircraft Commanders, and their crew are not involved in these decisions, nor can they be held responsible for deportees after their disembarkation at destination.
When ALTER (minority pilot union) is playing with the fears
ALTER has just published a leaflet in which mistakes can be spotted. Too bad, we generally appreciate the role of «hair scratching played» by this union.
Quand ALTER manie les peurs sur la réforme des retraites
ALTER vient de publier un tract où les erreurs se comptent à la pelle. Dommage, nous apprécions en général le rôle de « poil à gratter » joué par ce syndicat.
Position Paper IFALPA: Carriage of Persons on All-Cargo Aircraft
Position Paper IFALPA : It has come to the Federation’s attention that Cargo Aircraft Only (CAO) provisions are being used to prevent individuals from traveling on cargo aircraft when such aircraft carry Dangerous Goods (DG) not allowed on passenger aircraft. The CAO provisions allow types and quantities of DG on all-cargo aircraft because it was believed pilots of those aircraft had specific means of responding to DG incidents that are not normally available to passenger aircraft pilots.
Briefing Leaflet IFALPA: Sleep Apnea Information for Pilots
The prevalence of sleep apnea in adults is estimated to be 7%. In contrast, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records instances of sleep apnea in Class I medical certified pilots as only 0.5%. Sleep apnea seems to be badly under diagnosed within the pilot community. As sleep apnea results in daytime sleepiness, when left undiagnosed it can pose a significant safety risk in aviation.
