Beredskapskonferansen 2022 14. - 16. september i Stavanger

Siste 1.7.: Jeg får melde meg på som gjest.

Jeg har forsøkt å melde meg på som presse, men har fått en kald skulder. Forsøker igjen.

Hele greia er oljerelatert. Ikke noe som jeg ser, gjelder samfunnssikkerhet- og beredskap, i.e. tilfluktsrom og slikt. De det gjelder har sikkert ikke noe å gi til konferansen i form av økonomisk støtte...... Hva Forsvaret skal snakke om kan imidlertid være av interesse. Antakelig relatert til den sivile redningstjenesten som opereres av Forsvaret. Antakelig det vanlige skrytet........ Kunne vært av interesse å spørre om NH90 skandalen, om grounding av disse betyr noe for for eksempel fiskerne langt til havs, utenfor 150NM av grunnlinjen..... (Red.)

ICAO Tells Russia To Stop Registering Foreign-Owned Airliners

On top of all the seizures and sanctions facing Russian aerospace, the International Civil Aviation Organization has also wagged its finger. The UN body, which ostensibly sets the rules for commercial aviation around the world, has told Russia that moving foreign-registered aircraft to its own registry violates ICAO regulations and it should stop immediately. The ICAO council, which is meeting this week, issued a statement calling for the country to cease the practise “with a view to preserving the safety and security of civil aviation, and to urgently remedy these violations.”

The ICAO combed the records and found that about 450 aircraft owned by foreign lessors and mostly registered in Bermuda have been put on the Russian register. Russia has demanded that Bermuda de-register the affected aircraft, likely over China’s ban on the double-registered flying in its airspace. But Bermuda says Russia and its airlines don’t get to make that call because the planes don’t belong to them. “Our response is consistent in that we will deregister aircraft on request from the owner, in accordance with the relevant Bermuda legislation and procedures,” Bermuda said in a statement.

Air New Zealand May Rent Economy Bunks For Long Hauls

Air New Zealand will be offering its version of hot racking for economy passengers on its ultra long haul routes by renting bunks to allow them to unfold. If the authorities approve, one of the airline’s Boeing 787-9s will have six “Skynest” bunks that those sharing their seat rows with eight others will be able to stretch out in for a fee. The airline hasn’t released how it plans to distribute access to the pods, which are 80 inches long and stacked three deep on one side of the plane but runwaygirlnetwork is suggesting a four-rental would be reasonable for the butt-numbing 18-hour non-stops from Auckland to JFK.

The plane will actually have seven different survival options for the trans-Pacific and transcontinental marathon. For the well heeled, eight “luxe” business class seats with doors and the option for two-person dining will be joined by 42 business premiere seats that don’t have the doors. They will be followed by 52 premium economy and finally 125 economy seats. The starting price for the Auckland-New York service will be about $2250 return.

Aircraft Taking Ground Fire At Jackson Airport

A Physicians Air Transport King Air 200 medevac aircraft was hit by a bullet while on final at Hawkins Field in Jackson, Mississippi on Monday and local officials didn’t seem very surprised. Apparently a dispute over the city’s garbage collection contract has led to people on the ground taking potshots at passing aircraft. “I don’t think it helped that they put the garbage trucks on the airport’s property. It’s a lot of hate now for the airport, and some are shooting guns at planes and that isn’t the answer,” city councilman Kenneth Stokes told WJTV. He called for more police enforcement.

Meanwhile, the company that owns the airplane says it’s likely out of action for awhile and suffered hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. “A random shot was fired from about 700 feet that way on the eastern boundary of Hawkins Field, and the trajectory hit this airplane on the upper cowling,” said David Hood, a pilot with Physicians Air Transport. Hood said the plane will likely be out of action for an extended period and that will hurt health care in the region. “We missed a lot of flights because of this, and the chance to help a lot of people, and it’s going to be down for I don’t know how long,” said Hood.

UAM og eVTOL - AIN

 

June 29, 2022

Munich Airport, Airbus To Help Cities Start eVTOL Ops Munich Airport and Airbus are seeking to help cities and regions develop infrastructure to support advanced air mobility (AAM) services using eVTOLs. To that end, the two entities announced an expansion of their partnership last week at the ILA Berlin Air Show. In May, the German hub airport joined forces with Airbus, the city of Ingolstadt, railway company Deutsche Bahn, aviation safety agency Deutsche Flugsicherung, uncrewed air traffic management (UTM) specialist Droniq, and Diehl Aerospace, to establish the Air Mobility Initiative (AMI). Airbus is developing the four-passenger CityAirbus NextGen eVTOL that it aims to bring into service in 2025. With the support of the Bavarian state government and German federal officials, the project is intended to assess the basis on which commercial eVTOL air-taxi operations could be launched to connect German cities, as well as to advance arrangements for UTM infrastructure and vertiports. The AMI collaboration is backed by €86 million ($91 million) in public-private funding. This includes €24 million from the German federal government and €17 million from the state of Bavaria.

Enighet i tolvte time: Tyrkia slipper Sverige og Finland inn i Nato

MADRID (VG) Tyrkia, Sverige og Finland er kommet til enighet om et dokument som ble signert tirsdag kveld, før Nato-toppmøtet i Madrid. Dermed kan de to landene endelig få behandlet sine søknader allerede onsdag morgen.

Publisert: 28.06.22 kl. 20:30 Oppdatert: 28.06.22 kl. 21:39

– Jeg er glad for å kunne si at vi nå har en avtale som baner veien for at Sverige og Finland kan opptas som medlemmer i Nato, sier generalsekretær Jens Stoltenberg på en pressekonferanse tirsdag kveld.

De tre landenes ledere - Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Suli Niinistö og Magdalena Andersson - har sittet sammen i rundt fire timer under ledelse av Jens Stoltenberg, før de kom til en seremoni hvor dokumentet ble undertegnet av de tre landenes utenriksministere.

Landenes søknader kan dermed komme opp til behandling på toppmøtet som starter onsdag morgen.

Samarbeide mot terror

Dokumentet forplikter Sverige og Finland til å jobbe med Tyrkia i spørsmål som angår terror og terrorgrupper.

Mulige utleveringer av terror-mistenkte fra Sverige og Finland, på begjæring fra Tyrkia, omfattes også av avtalen, ifølge Stoltenberg.

– Finland og Sverige er klare til å arbeide med Tyrkia om utleveringsbegjæringer av personer mistenkt for terror. Utleveringer vil skje innenfor rammen av europeiske regler og de to landenes lover, sa generalsekretæren.

American Airlines’ regional carrier offers pilots triple pay to pick up trips in July ·     Envoy Air pilots will get triple pay if they fly open trips from July 2 to 31. ·     American Airlines’ regional subsidiaries earlier this month agreed to a temporary 50% pay increase for pilots. ·     Airlines and travelers are struggling with numerous flight delays this summer amid staffing shortages. American Airlines’ regional carrier Envoy Air is offering pilots triple pay to pick up trips for most of next month, an effort the airline says will help it avoid flight disruptions during the peak summer travel season. “Super critical coverage has been declared for” July 2 to 31 for all bases, according to a note sent to Envoy pilots on Monday that was seen by CNBC. “Any open time flown during this time frame will be paid at 300%. Thank you in advance for your help.” Ric Wilson, vice president of flight operations for Envoy, said although the triple pay is applicable throughout July, it doesn’t necessarily mean open trips are available for pilots each day. “We are into our peak flying season and we want to ensure that we can operate dependably for our customers,” Wilson said. The airline said in a statement that it “has had an extraordinary completion factor for the month of June,” referring to completed flights. “As part of the proactive strategy to run a reliable schedule during the peak summer travel season, Envoy is offering pilots triple pay to pick up uncovered trips on their days off in the month of July,” the carrier said. “This will only be offered if there are open trips available, and currently Envoy is fully covered with its flight schedule this summer.” It’s a matter of training the pilots and getting them on the planes, says Raymond James’ Syth The approaching Fourth of July holiday weekend will be a test for airlines that have struggled to tamp down delays amid staffing shortages. American’s regional subsidiaries ⁠— Envoy, Piedmont and PSA ⁠— earlier this month said they were giving pilots a temporary 50% pay increase through August 2024 to help alleviate a pilot shortage that airlines say have forced them to cut routes. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/27/american-airlines-regional-carrier-envoy-offers-pilots-triple-pay-for-some-july-trips.html     Due To Pilot Shortage, SkyWest To Remove Seats To Allow Pilots With Lower-Level Certifications SkyWest, like all airlines in the United States right now, is in the midst of a pilot shortage.  But the regional airline that services most of the airports in Wyoming has come up with a unique idea to stretch their resources. SkyWest, under a new subsidiary called “SkyWest Charter,” has made an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation to modify a number of Canadair jets to only hold 30 passengers, thereby allowing pilots with lower-level certifications to operate the aircraft as a “public charter.” “Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport here in Rock Springs was listed in (SkyWest’s) DOT application for a Part 135 charter certificate that would allow them to fly a 30-seat CRJ 200,” said Devon Brubaker, Director for the airport. “So it’s the same planes they fly today, but with 30 seats instead of 50 seats.” The Part 135 rules are more relaxed than the Part 121 rules that all scheduled air carriers operate under. The difference is that pilots operating aircraft under Part 135 do not need to hold an airline transport pilot certificate, which requires them to have logged at least 1,500 flight hours. A representative for SkyWest told Cowboy State Daily that the company’s standards have not gone down — rather, the charter service would simply provide additional regulatory flexibility. “It is our full intent to hold this new entity to the same high standards of safety, reliability, and service that the SkyWest name has come to represent,” SkyWest’s spokesperson said in a statement. For Rock Springs’ regional airport, the new flexibility is good news. “To the best of our knowledge at this time, it looks like it would be used to supplement our service as an opportunity to get us back to where we were pre-pandemic, with at least two daily flights and maybe more,” Brubaker told Cowboy State Daily.  He said that between 2016 and 2019, boardings at Sweetwater County’s airport increased 57% – then came COVID-19. “Obviously the pandemic decimated air travel across the country,” Brubaker said. “We started to get back to our 2019 numbers in November, December of 2021. And then the pilot shortage reared its ugly head the last week of December, early January.” Brubaker said that in order to maintain consistency and reduce the possibility of canceled flights due to a shortage of pilots, all the airlines started to reduce the number of available flights. In Rock Springs, that meant that SkyWest dropped down to one flight a day, which Brubaker said is currently running at about 86% capacity. “In our industry, and 86% load factor might as well be full,” he said. “That basically means that on peak travel days, you’re not going to find seats unless you book early.” “We see travel demand far outpacing what we saw in 2019,” Brubaker continued. “We just don’t have the capacity.” While SkyWest’s charter service option may be good news for Rock Springs, on the other side of the state it could be a detriment. “We used to have three flights a day, every day,” said Todd Chatfield, director of the Northeast Wyoming Regional Airport in Gillette. “We’re down to two flights a day, except for Tuesdays and Thursdays when we’re down to one plane a day.” Chatfield told Cowboy State Daily that, like Rock Springs, flights in Gillette are filling up at around an 85% load factor, with planes that have 50 seats. “If we went back to three flights a day with the 30 passenger seats, that would still be a loss of 10 seats (per day),” Chatfield said. However, he said that there is a possibility that SkyWest could continue providing 50-seat planes and bring in the smaller capacity aircraft at busier times. “I did sign a public comment deal, and I did say that we were in favor of this, but that’s when I thought we would just keep the extra planes,” Chatfield said. “They wouldn’t take my 50-passenger planes away and bring in 30.” Chatfield acknowledged that SkyWest’s leaders are trying to address the pilot shortage in any way they can. “That’s really encouraging that they’re trying to find different ways to serve Wyoming,” he said. “But if they start taking my 50 seats and bringing in 30, and they don’t bring (what we get) in the same amount of planes I get now, that’s gonna hurt me.” “We’ve been assured by SkyWest airlines that their commitment is to improving our service, not hurting our service here in Sweetwater County, and around the state as well,” Brubaker said. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2022/06/27/due-to-pilot-shortage-skywest-to-remove-seats-to-allow-pilots-with-lower-level-certifications/
