Asia og flysikkerhet

Det er for meg helt ufattelig at en internasjonal flyging i et område kjent for tøffe forhold, kan flys uten en værbrief på forhånd. Når får "aviation officials" gjennomgå for at flygerne svikter. Også en måte å gjøre det på.

Indonesia Suspends Aviation Officials, Requires New Briefings After AirAsia Crash JAKARTA, Indonesia-Indonesian transport authorities cracked down Monday in the wake of the AirAsia crash, suspending aviation officials and saying that airlines will be forced to comply with more stringent pre-departure regulations and require pilots to undergo direct weather briefings with dispatchers.   Djoko Murjatmodjo, the Transportation Ministry's acting director-general of civil aviation, said that the ministry has issued a circular requiring airlines to directly brief their pilots on weather before departure and that an official rule will follow. The circular was issued Dec. 31, three days after the crash.
