Single pilot commercial operations med store fly - IFALPA

  

Som vi vet jobber både Boeing og Airbus med tiltak som kan redusere antall flygere i cockpit fra 2, via èn til ingen. Det vil begynne med lastefly og så vil det balle på seg. Teknologien er der, men passasjerene er veldig lunkne til dette av forståelige grunner. Konferansen vil åpenbart dreie seg om hvorfor dette er en dårlig idè. Den verdensomspennende flygerorganisasjonen IFALPA har de siste årene hatt norsk president. (Red.)

MEDIA ADVISORY FOR MAY 4, 2023 Global Pilot Leaders Hold Press Conference on the Dangers of Reduced-Crew Operations   MONTREAL—Leaders of the world’s largest pilot organizations will be holding a press conference in Montreal on Thursday, May 4 at 9:00 a.m. EDT to discuss ongoing global efforts to counter an aggressive, corporate-led lobbying campaign targeting regulators around the world, including the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).   Top leadership from the International Federation of Air Line Pilots’ Associations (IFALPA), the European Cockpit Association (ECA), and Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA) will provide a critical update on the recently established global pilot coalition to prevent airlines and manufacturers from pursuing plans to remove pilots from the flight deck—a profit-driven scheme that poses a significant safety risk.   WHO:             Capt. Jack Netskar, IFALPA President                        Capt. Otjan de Bruijn, ECA President                        Capt. Jason Ambrosi, ALPA President WHEN:           Thursday, May 4, 2023, 9:00 a.m. EDT WHERE:          DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal                         1255 Jeanne-Mance Street, Montreal, QC                         Room - Symphonie 1, 5th floor Despite developments in automation and improved technologies on the flight deck, two pilots at the controls remains the most important safety feature of an aircraft. Pilots eliminate system-failure scenarios and act as a critical onboard backup for failed systems, bridge technology gaps, and adapt in real-time to unanticipated situations and emergencies. Technology, no matter how sophisticated, is not a replacement for two or more pilots on the flight deck. RSVP:              Please RSVP to Media@alpa.org
