Preparedness Is Key To Combat Growing Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Interference
Over the past several decades, GNSS has evolved from a convenience to a critical component of modern aviation safety. Today’s aircraft rely on GNSS for aircraft positioning and navigation, instrument approaches, surveillance and traffic awareness, terrain awareness and runway overrun prevention.
The Modern “Water Cooler”: How Collective Intelligence Drives Aviation Safety
Who would have thought the humble water cooler would still be driving industry-wide progress? In aviation, progress has always been fueled by shared knowledge.
How Compounding Risks Drive Runway Excursions
Runway excursions rarely result from a single factor. More often, they develop when several manageable risks combine into a situation that leaves little margin for error.
Strengthening Aviation Safety Through Collaboration and Community
Safety is not just a set of rules or a manual on a shelf. For those of us at Global Aerospace, it is a lived experience that requires us to get out of the office and into the hangars.
The Case for Better Standard Operating Procedures
In July 2008, a business jet operating under 14 CFR Part 135 touched down long on landing. In its analysis, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) noted that, recognizing the deteriorating situation, the flight crew attempted a balked landing and initiated a go-around.
Airline-Grade Insight, Business Aviation Agility
For many years, there was a noticeable divide in how operational data was used across the aviation industry. Large airlines generated vast volumes of flight data and employed dedicated teams to analyze trends across their fleets.
“My Aircraft!”
No one wants to hear a crew member shout “My Aircraft!” when they are the pilot flying (PF). Although it only happens when things have gone astray, it is something…
Safety Intelligence Is Business Intelligence
Traditionally, when we think about safety, we think about compliance—adhering to regulations or audit standards. Spending money on formal safety systems is often viewed as an unnecessary expense. After all, the thinking goes, if we haven’t had a serious incident or accident, why spend the money?
Elevating Aviation Safety With CBTA
The aviation industry loves acronyms, so here’s another to add to your list: CBTA—competency-based training and assessment.
