WELCOME NEW AACA MEMBER - OMNI AIR GROUP

8/30/2019

 

 
Omni Air Group’s principals have over 35 years’ combined experience as key managers under Parts 135 and 121. They began their aviation careers flying DC-3s off the beaches of Bristol Bay in 1980. Today, almost 40 years later, they have created the most advanced integrated SMS/QMS available anywhere.
 
These folks have taken SMS to a new level! Purpose-built to meet the needs of 121 air carriers and 135 commercial operators, OmniSMS:
  • Meets Part 5 and SMS Voluntary Program standards;
  • Aligns with FAA’s SAS Systems and Elements;
  • Includes an in-house ASAP that does not require a 3rd-party facilitator;
  • Is harmonized with full documentation, web application, training and support;
  • Uses ARMS Event Risk Classification for better, less subjective risk assessments;
  • Incorporates Boeing’s Maintenance Error Decision aid (MEDA);
  • Supports your CASS with Mx system monitoring and measurement;
  • Is customizable, scalable, and facilitated with expert SMS / QMS mentoring!
 
Omni’s president, Paul Salerno, is extending an open invitation to all AACA members for free consulting on where to take their safety programs in the wake of Medallion Foundation’s closing.
 
For more information, please call Paul Salerno at +1 (760) 239-7895 or email: paul@omnisms.aero

Commercial Air Tour Bill PROPOSED

8/30/2019

 
Congressman Ed Case, D-Hawaii, announced his intentions to introduce a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives designed to tighten regulations for commercial air tours on Thursday. Citing the recent fatal crashes of a tour helicopter in Kailua and a skydiving flight at Mokuleia’s Dillingham Airfield, Case says his proposed “Safe and Quiet Skies Act” will direct the FAA to “adopt tighter safety recommendations long advanced by the [NTSB].”

“This current situation is not acceptable for both safety and community impact concerns,” Case wrote in a letter seeking support for the bill. “Regarding ground disruption and risk, the FAA takes the position that its responsibility is strictly operational safety and national airspace efficiency and does not extend to ground disruption and other negative impacts. As a result, the operators, aside from strict takeoff and approach, avoidance of established flight paths and other limited circumstances, are virtually free to fly wherever, whenever and as often as they want. And they do, with little to no self-regulation.”
​
According to Case, the bill will include requirements that tour flights maintain an altitude of 1,500 feet AGL other than for takeoff and landing, be no louder than 55 dbA above occupied areas and follow sterile cockpit procedures. It would also allow states and localities to impose additional requirements and prohibit tour flights over military installations, national cemeteries, national wilderness areas, national parks and national wildlife refuges. No timeline for the introduction of the bill has been made public.

new Kenai Waypoint

8/8/2019

 

​RavnAir Alaska Creates New Waypoint to Improve Aviation Safety

​Recently,  Corvus Airlines d.b.a. RavnAir Alaska, a 121 Certificate holder, experienced an increase of TCAS Resolution Advisories (RAs) flying between Anchorage and Kenai. The primary concern for RavnAir was along the Victor 334-456 airway with northbound traffic before communications with Anchorage Approach are established.

To mitigate the number of TCAS RAs received, RavnAir Alaska worked with ANC Center to create a new waypoint off of the ENA 012 radial at 17nm. This location allows RavnAir Alaska to fly west of the traditional route without interfering with the AMOTT arrivals.

The following Event Schedule include all TCAS RA's reported by RAVN pilots in the area between Anchorage and Kenai.
