To better understand and prevent aircraft accidents, the industry has developed several models over the years. In this article, let's dive..

As a pilot, your ultimate goal is to ensure a safe and successful flight. To achieve this, it is essential to understand the concepts of Threat and Error Management (TEM). In this blog post, we will explore what TEM is, what its components are, and how you can manage errors and threats in aviation. What is Threat and Error Management Model? The TEM Model is a framework that helps pilots to identify, assess, and manage threats and errors during all phases of flight. The model

Following the Safety Risk Assessment of 5G deployment at the US, the FAA has put out a useful map to help operators avoid flight disruptions at affected airports around the country. Background Because the proposed 5G deployment involves a new combination of power levels, frequencies, proximity to flight operations, and other factors, the FAA imposed restrictions on flight operations using certain types of radio altimeter equipment close to antennas in 5G networks. These safet

The name might sound daunting, but it's actually easier than it sounds and it brings standardization across the industry. Background After a runway overrun at Chicago Midway during a snowstorm in 2005, an Aviation Rulemaking Committee was tasked to provide guidance for the assessment of take-off and landing performance for contaminated runways. This committee was called TALPA ARC (Take-off And Landing Performance Assessment Aviation Rulemaking Committee). The main findings we

Low visibility procedures exist to support Low Visibility Operations at Aerodromes when either surface visibility is sufficiently low to prejudice safe ground movement without additional procedural controls or the prevailing cloud base is sufficiently low to preclude pilots obtaining the required visual reference to continue to landing at the equivalent of an ILS Cat 1 DH/DA. It should be noted that in the latter case, surface visibility may be relatively good but the TWR vis
