Temaet har vært oppe her på bloggen b\flere ganger, og jeg har hevdet, ut fra rapporter at antall alvorlig hendelser ved turbulens er sterkt økende. Det stemmer med ICAOs innhentede data. Jobben i kabinen er særlig utsatt. (Red.)
International Civil Aviation Organization Proposes New Safety Measures Amid Turbulence Concerns
Tuesday, August 27, 2024
The International Civil Aviation Organization proposes new safety measures to address rising turbulence concerns, aiming to enhance global aviation safety standards.
A global assembly of aviation regulators is convening in Montréal to deliberate on the industry’s future. Turbulence, a natural aspect of flying, emerged as a significant topic on the opening day of discussions. Recent months have seen a surge in turbulence-related injuries, making it a focal point in the ongoing dialogue.
A scientific consensus is emerging. A second paper, presented to the conference by Japan and Singapore, with co-sponsorship from the Philippines, Thailand, Airports Council International, and the International Air Transport Association, builds upon the findings of the Korean study by offering additional insights. This paper provides robust scientific evidence suggesting that climate change could intensify weather patterns, potentially leading to an increase in turbulence-related incidents. The paper references recent data from the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) 2024 Annual Safety Report, which reveals that turbulence was responsible for approximately 40% (24) of all accidents involving large aircraft in scheduled commercial operations last year. This was followed by accidents related to abnormal runway contact (8). Additionally, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported similar findings.
To address these issues, the paper suggests several crucial strategies for member countries and aviation regulatory bodies to collaborate on sharing relevant data to minimize future turbulence-related incidents. The proposals include:
- Recognizing turbulence encounters as an ongoing global operational risk in the 2026-2028 edition of the Global Aviation Safety Plan.
- Encouraging states and industries to exchange experiences and best practices related to turbulence encounters among stakeholders.
- Further urging states and operators to make necessary arrangements to enhance the availability of air reports that contain quantitative turbulence data.
Reuters reports that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has stated that its 193 member states will vote on these proposals during their triennial assembly next year.
