Air Operations

Please clarify how to apply AMC2 CAT.OP.MPA.182 Fuel/energy scheme — aerodrome selection policy- aeroplane, at point (b).

How to apply destination aerodrome to planning minima of AMC6 CAT.OP.MPA.182 (Table 2)?

If the type of approach operation at destination aerodrome is Type A. Do we need to add celling more 400 ft for DA/H and VIS more 1 500 m?

Can an aircraft operated on a Restricted Airworthiness Certificate be used in Part-CAT, or only for activities under Part-SPO?

According AMC1 NCC.OP.153 - what do we expect when we asking for demonstration:
(a)(1)....demonstrate that the GNSS is robust against loss of capability;

In times when we talk about spoofing and jamming signals, what is the meaning of robustness...? Is this only related to aircraft systems, or to the GNSS system in total? And how do we qualify this.

1st Workshop on Safety Management & Emergency Procedures in case of Thermal Runaway of Personal Electronic Devices in Cabin and Cockpit
April 9, 2024. Online event.

Fraunhofer (FH) has been contracted by EASA to investigate the risks of fire and smoke resulting from portable electronic devices (PEDs) in cabin and cockpits: LOKI-PED — Lithium Batteries Fire/Smoke Risks in Cabin | EASA (europa.eu).

Within the project, FH is investigating the effects of emergency procedures as well as the handling of additional mitigation measures, like containment bags and extinguishers, under realistic conditions.

What would you do if a passenger admitted to have a lithium battery in a bag checked due to lack of overhead space?

Several challenging situations like that are presented in the March 2024 edition of NASA CALLBACK, offering again the reader a chance to “interact” with the information given in a selection of ASRS reports.

In “The First Half of the Story,” you will find report excerpts describing an event or situation up to a point where a specific decision must be made, an immediate action must be taken, or a non-normal condition must be actively managed. You may then exercise your own judgment to make a decision, determine a possible course of action, or devise a plan that might best resolve the situation...
