Finale 1. MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR During July I had my hands on a rogue item which was to have been fitted to an aircraft. The item was made from commercial metal and not the type required to ensure the safety of the crew and their aircraft. Luckily the filters designed to protect worked as the AMO refused to fit the item to the aircraft. It seems that there is a trend to try to cut costs by using non approved suppliers/parts which must be stamped out. Vivienne 2. A SMALL MATTER OF KNOWLEDGE Whilst here in South Africa we all know that aircraft operators under Parts 121, 135, 127, 127, 138 etc., aerodrome operators of CAT 4 and above, AMOs and other specialist engineering companies all needed to have an approved SMS in place by the 31st July 2015 do we know about the safety via an SMS of the other third party operators such as Catering Companies, Ground Handling Agents, Fuelling Companies and others who operate on airside. In general the answer would have to be a resounding no. Airside Service Providers as detailed above all come under the jurisdiction of the specific aerodrome operator's SMS. Therefore it follows that the Aerodrome Operator is responsible, not just pay lip service to it, for all activities which may have an impact on the safety of the aerodrome, the aircraft operating into it, the staff, the passengers and the infrastructure. Therefore we must all ensure that we not only attend the monthly aerodrome safety meetings but also pay a great deal of attention to the aerodrome operator's SMS in order to gain a better understanding of our third party service providers daily activities. It also means that as these parties are not regulated by the SA CAA that we have to be most diligent when carrying out Safety and Quality Assurance Audits on all service providers. 2.

For airlines, they are quite literally a drag - a fuel-wasting, money-eating drag. Scientists from NASA and leading plane manufacturer Boeing are pooling their collective genius to tackle the dilemma of keeping bug guts from sticking to airplane wings. Experimental flights above the insect-rich swamps of Louisiana are testing the value of non-stick coatings and new wing extensions.  Fayette Collier, director of NASA's Environmentally Responsible Aviation program, says giving bugs the brush off could shave 0.5% off fuel costs, or $240 million in savings. "It is huge," Collier said of overall wing improvements. "The carrot is so huge, you can't ignore it." Tiny critters pose huge problems. No matter how clean a plane is on the ground, taking off through a cloud of bugs roughens the wing's leading edge. Bumpy wings from that momentary encounter increase drag and require the plane to burn slightly more fuel during hours of the entire flight. The goal of wing research is to keep air flowing as smoothly as possible for as long as possible across the wing. NASA and Boeing are each eager to find solutions, which will be shared with the rest of the industry, to save fuel and reduce pollution. "When you burn less fuel, the engines require less maintenance. We produce less emissions. There's less carbon dioxide," said Mike Sinnett, Boeing's vice president for product development. "Across the board, burning less gas is a good thing." ASA has been looking to give bugs the brush off for at least 30 years. Decades ago, efforts included spraying a substance on the wing with anti-icing fluid, like buttering a skillet, so bugs would slip off, or attaching paper that peeled away after takeoff like a used napkin. But each had their own costs and environmental concerns. "You really don't want to have littering in the sky," said Mia Siochi, a senior materials researcher at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. Early experiments used a gun to fire bugs - first crickets and then fruit flies - at the wings of planes to replicate the 150 mph speed of a jet taking off, she said. But it was tricky in the lab to match the sticky impact of bugs hitting a wing during takeoff. The insect, not knowing that it's been catastrophically hit, is actually trying to heal, like blood coagulating to heal the wound," Siochi said. "It's getting stickier." Recent efforts to reduce fuel consumption, pollution and noise are now the province of NASA's Environmentally Responsible Aviation program or ERA. Since 2009, ERA has spent about $420 million to identify and test eight strategies to improve jet performance and efficiency, Collier said. About $2 million to $3 million went toward bug research, with private partners such as Boeing also contributing, he said. Boeing and NASA scientists flew a Boeing 757, nicknamed the ecoDemonstrator, over the swamps around Shreveport, La., from April 27 to May 15 to test a couple of options - a coating like Teflon and a wing extension that shields the wing from bugs during takeoff. "We don't have the answers yet," Sinnett said. "That literally is what caused us to go out and find a plague of locusts." NASA developed five experimental surfaces, which were attached to the 757's right wing in 2-foot-by-3-foot plates. Researchers counted 100 to 200 bug splatters on a regular metal section of wing, but as much as a 40% reduction in splats on the best experimental panel. "It was visible as you walked up to the wing," Siochi said. The best surface was inspired by the lotus leaf, she said. Tiny ridges that aren't visible to the naked eye let bug gunk run off like water rolling off a leaf. "It looks like mountains," Siochi said. Another option that looked promising in the Louisiana swamp was a wing extension that provides extra lift at takeoff, but then retracts to fit snugly beneath the wing at cruising altitude. The unexpected benefit is that, like a glove, the so-called Krueger flaps also shielded the wing of the ecoDemonstrator from bugs. "That gives us an unintended capability to block the leading edge of the wing from bugs because the bugs smack into the Krueger first," Sinnett said. "Then that Krueger folds away when you get up at cruise." While the flaps are installed on newer versions of the Boeing 747, they wouldn't necessarily work for all planes because of the shape and design of the rest of the wing, Sinnett said. Special coatings like the ones NASA is exploring could work on other planes. Now researchers are huddling to gauge the results. Airlines must weigh the costs and benefits of the adding the technology to the fleet, and whether the technology can withstand tens of thousands of flights. If the analysis looks promising, researchers say the gleaming result could appear routinely outside airliner windows in the mid-2020s. "We're looking into the future," Collier said. "The wing is the next thing." 7. NASA'S VOLCANIC ASH TEST AIMS TO STUDY ENGINE HEALTH, IMPROVE AVIATION SAFETY EDWARDS (CBSLA.com) - One of the more tragic aspects of a flight crash is the circumstantial fact that, sometimes, the pilot simply does not have control over the anomaly that causes the aircraft to fail. Ice build-up on the wings, external weather variables and other environmental elements can be decreased, even avoided, by experienced pilots who know the manoeuvres or adjustments necessary to reduce their effects. Too little can often be done, however, to predict or address the issue most commonly associated with in-flight disasters - engine failure. The lack of control over a situation caused by engine failure or shutdown is a dire reality indeed, and it is responsible for the majority of aviation apprehension. Researchers at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center, located in the deserts of Antelope Valley, north of Los Angeles, are working to eliminate, or at least alleviate, part of the engine failure factor from the aviation equation. The VIPR (Vehicle Integrated Propulsion Research) project, the product of a partnership between NASA, the U.S. Air Force and a number of other agencies and companies, is a series of tests to evaluate health management technologies on commercial engines. "Our objective is researching engine health technologies," principal investigator John Lekki of NASA's Glenn Research Center said. "We're looking at technologies that will be able to identify aircraft engine faults at the beginning stages. We want to be able to identify those and diagnose them, and then also give an idea of how they're going to change over time." These tests began in 2011, and have focused on how engine compromise is associated with the pollution or corruption of that engine's sensors. Through implementing environmental fault scenarios in these tests, AFRC researchers are learning more about engine health through new sensors, and are able to assess advances in engine diagnostics. Two F-117 turbofan engines, provided by the Air Force, were mounted on a C-17 aircraft, on which the tests are performed as the aircraft is grounded. These tests include studying the engine through normal engine operations, seeded mechanical faults, seeded gas path faults, and finally, accelerated engine life degradation through the ingestion of volcanic ash. The subjection to volcanic ash represents the next stage of NASA's VIPR testing at AFRC. "Volcanic ash for us, initially, was a medium that we could use to fully degrade the aircraft's engine, and we're interested in degrading the engine to see how well our health management technologies pick up these faults, and how well we can determine what the trend of the engine is going to be. We chose volcanic ash because it's an interesting way to fault an engine, but it's also something that hasn't been carefully studied, and it's something that is definitely a need that we have." USGS estimates that there are about 1,500 active volcanoes on the planet. Any time there are eruptions, it can create problems for aviation. When Eyjafjallajökull erupted in Iceland in 2010, the result was a shutdown of much European airspace for two weeks, which had a $2 billion impact on the industry. What damaged the aviation industry further was the subsequent scramble to figure out what airspace was safe to fly in, and what had to be avoided. This confusion stemmed from the fact that there hadn't been any studies on the effect of this volcanic ash on engine health - until now.   Ash accumulation on the engine's compression blades contributes to erosion, ultimately compromising the health of the engine, and therefore, the safety of the flight.  Through the volcanic ash test, researchers aim to study the effect of several hours of exposure to the ash. The tests have three primary objectives: The incorporation of smarter sensors designed to improve flight safety and reduce aviation costs. The detection of potential engine faults. The evaluation of advances in engine diagnostics. "The primary benefits of health monitoring, in the long term, are mostly economic benefits," Paul Krasa of NASA's Langley Research Center said. "They let you really take a look into the health of the engine that you can work on things when there are issues. That's the primary direction that the (aviation) industry is looking at health monitoring." NASA considers itself as being in a position of responsibility, to lead the way to frontiers unknown, as well as to make safer those endeavours which we have discovered, and continue to master. The goal of making aviation safer for all of us is one NASA takes seriously, and one which the researchers at AFRC are making a reality. 8. CERTIFYING THIRD COUNTRY OPERATORS TO CUT RED TAP AND BOOST AIR SAFETY At the beginning of July, the Commission and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued the first single air safety authorisations to 22 third country operators. These certifications will be valid throughout the EU. By 2016, all non-EU airlines wishing to fly to the EU will be required to hold such authorisation certifying their compliance with international safety standards. The objective of this new scheme is twofold: cutting red-tape by replacing today's maze of national authorisations with a single document and maintaining high level of aviation safety in Europe. EASA will be the "one-stop shop", delivering the authorisation to airlines. EU Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said, "The new safety authorisation scheme has a clear European added value. It will take the safety of Europeans one step further by ensuring that third country operators flying to Europe match the highest safety standards, comparable to those the EU requires from European carriers. The "one-stop-shop" approach means cutting red-tape and reducing administrative costs for airlines." EASA's Executive Director Patrick Ky added, "I am honoured to deliver the first single safety authorisations to 22 airlines originating from all over the world and covering different business segments. This new system further increases the safety standards that passengers expect. A total of 700 foreign air carriers from more than 100 countries have already applied to be authorised to fly in the European Union." These 22 authorisations were signed by Mr Patrick Ky during a ceremony held at Brussels airport, in the presence of Commissioner Violeta Bulc. By November 2016, all third country operators, regardless of whether they already fly to the EU, will be required to hold such authorisation. This new system complements the two existing EU-wide tools to prevent unsafe airlines from operating in the EU: the air safety list, which was updated on 25 June 2015, and the system for aircraft ramp inspections SAFA (Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft). The new authorisation system does not apply to EU airlines, which are still subject to safety oversight and certification by National Aviation Authorities. Next steps. Additional authorisations will be signed in the coming months. All will be published on EASA's website. Background The Third Country Operators (TCO) authorisation is provided by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and confirms EU-wide compliance with international safety standards. The authorisation is therefore valid throughout the EU. TCO safety authorisations are provided by EASA under the mandate of a European Commission Regulation known as PART TCO adopted by the Commission on 29 April 2014. This marked the beginning a of a formal single EU-wide safety assessment process for foreign airlines that wish to fly to the EU. EASA manages the assessment process on behalf of the European Commission. Obtaining such an EU-wide safety authorisation will become a prerequisite for obtaining an operating permit in each Member State. EASA is perfectly well placed to carry out the required safety assessment and subsequent monitoring of TCOs. PART TCO complements the existing EU Air Safety List Regulation as well as the SAFA Programme (Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft). For Airlines registered in the EU certification and safety oversight is conducted by the National Aviation Authorities on the basis of EASA standards. In addition EU wide safety inspections are conducted under the Safety Assessment of Community Aircraft (SACA) programme.

All A.S.O.s are requested to please keep a close eye on the CAA website as the SACAA will publish the draft version on it following its release from CARCOM in the next couple of weeks. Any comments should be referred to sms@caa.co.za 11. SAFETY AND SECURITY US aviation giant Boeing said it has asked airlines to address a maintenance issue after a passenger jet's landing gear panel fell off after takeoff and fell on a Shanghai suburb. The sheet of metal weighing 130 pounds (60 kilograms) plunged to the ground shortly after Air France Flight 111 took off from Shanghai headed for Paris on Monday, Boeing said. No one was injured in the Boeing 777 incident. "We've been working real closely with our customers and have provided guidance on how to make any maintenance required," spokesman Chris Villiers told AFP. "It does not affect the structural integrity of the landing gear nor the safety of the flight." He said Boeing was treating the incident "with utmost concern and urgency." The panel, which Villiers stressed was not part of the landing gear structure itself, is one of the parts that open and close as the landing gear deploys. Boeing has issued a service bulletin to the fleet providing instructions on how to resolve the issue. The problem has to do with the fasteners that hold the panel in place. In a statement, Boeing said: "We have implemented the change for airplanes produced in our factories." More than 1,100 Boeing 777 aircraft are in service with dozens of airlines around the world. On the Security Front the radicalisation of Air Crew who are persuaded to throw in their lot with ISIS has increased in recent months. "Pilots, air crew and others with access to and within the aviation environment can pose obvious threats if these persons are radicalized. Their access and knowledge of security and safety regimes provides the ability to attempt attacks as witnessed by past global events," In a recent issue of Inspire, the magazine published by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, encouraged attacks by those involved in aviation. So the old adage of know you fellow crew members and if you don't check them out with Operations before the flight is the way to go to ensure the Security of your operations. You should keep an eye on fellow crew members and report any change in behaviour or outlook - confidentially if need be - to the person responsible for Aviation Security in your organisation. 12.
