Plaquette F-DGAC sur la récupération du décrochage
A la suite d’accidents ayant mis en évidence les difficultés de certains équipages à faire face aux situations d’approche du décrochage, plusieurs organisations internationales ont conduit une réflexion portant sur une révision de modalités de formation de pilotes dans ce domaine. Dans le cadre des systèmes de gestion de la sécurité (SGS), la DGAC à souhaité reprendre les conclusions de ces travaux et à organisé en janvier 2012 un forum dont l’objet était la procédure de sortie du décrochage. Des actions complémentaires à ce forum ont été conduites par un groupe de travail, qui a émis des recommandations portant sur les procédures et le contenu des programmes de formation des pilotes et des instructeurs.
La DGAC met à votre disposition une plaquette qui résume les recommandations sous la forme : d’une procédure générique de récupération du décrochage et d’un rappel théorique destiné à rafraîchir les connaissances de chacun.
Le décrochage revenir aux incidences de vol: Brochure et English version
Cette procédure est applicable pour la récupération de l’approche du décrochage et la récupération du décrochage. La priorité est la diminution de l’angle d’incidence.
Un autre volet de la recommandation sera adressé à l’ensemble des écoles. Il concerne l’aspect formation à la récupération du décrochage. Fiche

Voluntary and anonymous safety occurences reporting system created in Poland
LatajmyBezpiecznie.pl is a Polish voluntary and anonymous safety occurences reporting system to collect safety related information from both aviation professionals and the General Aviation community. It is based on the same principle as CHIRP of UK. The idea is to make reporting simple, quick, useful for everybody as well as safe from being used against the reporter by any party.
The aim is to improve the safety of the aviation system by collecting data on unsafe practices, lack of- or incomplete procedures, non-standard designation or misleading information. We investigate these problems, analyse and next forward to the CAA President. Also feedback is published on our web site as well as in some aviation magazines.

Video – Le train d’Atterrissage – Sujet Facteurs Humains
L’ Institut Francais pour l’amélioration de la Sécurité Aérienne (IASA) présente une nouvelle vidéo qui traite des aspects facteurs humains ayant conduit un pilote a oublier de sortir le train d’Atterrissage. Une version en Agnlais est en cours de production.
“Dès que l’on peut rentrer le train d’atterrissage, on risque d’oublier soit de le rentrer soit de le sortir. Personne n’est à l’abri de ce type d’erreur. Penser que cela ne nous arrivera pas nous rend plus vulnérable. Il est important de comprendre ce que nous devons faire pour que cela n’arrive pas ! Et comment une combinaison de facteurs défavorables peut nous mener à l’accident. Il ne s’agit pas là que du train d’atterrissage, mais aussi par exemple, du pilote de deltaplane qui s’élance sans s’être accroché à son aile … Du pilote de montagne qui oublie de rétracter les skis avant de se reposer sur du “dur” … De l’oubli de mettre le réchauffage du carburateur … etc …”

UK – Airspace & Safety Initiative (ASI)
The Airspace & Safety Initiative (ASI) is a joint CAA, NATS, AOA, GA and MoD effort to investigate and tackle the major safety risks in UK airspace. The ASI is a major review covering a number of different areas, with the aims of:
- Enhancing safety outside controlled airspace,
- Identifying the hazards associated with the use of UK airspace,
- Identifying the needs of all airspace users,
- Prioritizing the hazards and,
- Developing a strategy to mitigate those risks while meeting the needs of all airspace users.

VFR-guide for Norway – Edition 2011
The CAA – Norway published the VFR-guide for Norway 2011 edition.
“This booklet is made for the purpose of assisting VFR pilot, in planning and conducting flight within Norwegian Airspace. The vast majority of the Norwegian land masses consist of mountainous terrain with countless valleys and deep fjords. You will enjoy a spectacular scenery and great fun while flying in these areas, but you should also bear in mind that the environment may suddenly “bite” you during unfavourable flight conditions.
This booklet tries to raise the awareness of such unfavourable flight conditions. Relevant rules and regulations applicable to VFR flights within Norway are covered and so is other information necessary for safe planning and conduct of flight. Set your own limitations and prepare for the expected so you do not have to recover from the unexpected!”
