Carefully checking the condition of the wheel tie bolts during aircraft walkarounds can allow detection of missing or damaged bolts and help to […]
What about Engine Stall?
This briefing deals with the Engine Stall, the way to detect and to recognize it, and the way to manage this phenomenon.
News: A Statistical Analysis of Commercial Aviation Accidents 1958-2020
The latest Statistical Analysis of Commercial Aviation Accidents is available and updated with 2020 figures. In a year that saw half the number of flights of the previous year, there were still three fatal accidents and six hull losses. The industry fatal accident and hull loss rates are steadily decreasing over time, but this trend […]
Unreliable Airspeed at Takeoff
Since the beginning of 2020, Airbus has received an increasing number of reports of unreliable airspeed events at takeoff due to Pitot probe obstruction. Despite the existing prevention means and the preflight exterior walkaround, takeoffs with obstructed air data probes may happen. This article highlights why it is so important for pilots to actively monitor […]
Good Practices of Operations Engineering Bulletin (OEB) Management in Airlines
This video is a presentation that was prepared for Flight Ops Regional Conferences. It is dedicated to the Airline’s Flight Operations but is also useful for the instructors. The aim of this presentation is to share in-service feedback and Airbus experience that tend to show that for various reasons, OEB management in Airlines (both in […]
Strategy in Case of Engine Failure in Cruise
This presentation emphasizes the strategy to apply in the event of an engine failure during cruise. Airbus has defined three different strategies that can be adapted depending on the constraints.
Role of the Pilot Monitoring during Takeoff
This video explains the role of the Pilot Monitoring during the takeoff. Having a proper monitoring is key to ensure the good application of the Standard Operating Procedures and early detection of any malfunction in order to take the right decision at the right moment.
