Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Handbook 2018 I CONTENTS
FOREWORD This handbook has been produced by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), and is intended for use on ships that are: • compulsorily equipped with GMDSS radiocommunication installations in accordance with the requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea Convention 1974 (SOLAS) and Commonwealth or State government marine legislation • voluntarily equipped with GMDSS radiocommunication installations. It is the recommended textbook for candidates wishing to qualify for the Australian GMDSS General Operator’s Certificate of Proficiency. This handbook replaces the tenth edition of the GMDSS Handbook published in September 2013, and has been amended to reflect: • changes to regulations adopted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) World Radiocommunications Conference (2015) • changes to Inmarsat services • an updated AMSA distress beacon registration form • changes to various ITU Recommendations • changes to the publications published by the ITU • developments in Man Overboard (MOB) devices • clarification of GMDSS radio log procedures • general editorial updating and improvements. Procedures outlined in the handbook are based on the ITU Radio Regulations, on radio procedures used by Australian Maritime Communications Stations and Satellite Earth Stations in the Inmarsat network. Careful observance of the procedures covered by this handbook is essential for the efficient exchange of communications in the marine radiocommunication service, particularly where safety of life at sea is concerned. Special attention should be given to those sections dealing with distress, urgency, and safety. Operators of radiocommunications equipment on vessels not equipped with GMDSS installations should refer to the Marine Radio Operators Handbook published by the Australian Maritime College, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. No provision of this handbook or the ITU Radio Regulations prevents the use, by a ship in distress, of any means at its disposal to attract attention, make known its position and obtain help. -
Loyalty Programs: the Vital Safety Feature for Airlines to Survive COVID-19
The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/2516-8142.htm Airline loyalty Loyalty programs: the vital programs safety feature for airlines to survive COVID-19 Manuel E. Pascual Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism, Florida International University, Miami, Florida, USA, and Received 9 March 2021 Revised 13 April 2021 Lisa Nicole Cain Accepted 14 April 2021 Hospitality and Tourism Management, Florida International University Biscayne Bay Campus, North Miami, Florida, USA Abstract Purpose – The airline industry has been severely impacted by COVID-19 due to widespread travel restrictions. Its current response is crucial to ensure continued operations after the global pandemic is resolved. One resource the airlines are leveraging is loyalty programs. This study aims to examine the viability of leveraging loyalty programs in times of crisis. Design/methodology/approach – This study employs a case study methodology to examine how one company, American Airlines, has used its loyalty program to survive a pandemic and alleviate the financial costs associated with limited and restricted travel. Findings – American Airlines’ AAdvantage loyalty program structure may be used as a benchmark to understand how airlines can anchor their loyalty base to reinvigorate travel interest and use these programs as safeguards in critical instances that may arise in the future. Research limitations/implications – The case was bound by the fact that the pandemic was still a threat during the time of analysis. The findings of this case study go beyond the airline industry and may inform other hospitality and tourism organizations on the benefits of loyalty programs in times of financial distress. -
Updated Analysis of Inmarsat and Iridium Aeronautical Services in the Same Oceanic Airspace
E.F.C.LaBerge Senior Fellow, Honeywell CNS RTC June 18, 2008 [email protected] Updated Analysis of Inmarsat and Iridium Aeronautical Services in the Same Oceanic Airspace. 1 IEEE/AIAA 26th DASC, October 2007, Paper 213 EFC LaBerge & D. Zeng Purpose and Scope of the Analysis • Investigate Iridium AMSS/AMS(R)S and Inmarsat AMSS/AMS(R)S on separate aircraft in the same oceanic airspace • Analysis is limited to Oceanic Airspace structured following DO-306 guidelines, since FANS-1/A datalink Air Traffic Service (ATS) has widespread approval for operations in oceanic airspace • Conclusions are not applicable to other operational scenarios or airspace, including: - Polar, continental enroute, terminal, approach, and airport surface airspace as defined in Eurocontrol/FAA COCR document; - Simultaneous independent operation of Iridium and Inmarsat AESes on the same aircraft; and - All non-aeronautical terminals and non-aeronautical services 2 Released to ICAO ACP WGM June 18, 2008 Conclusions • The probability of Inmarsat AMSS/AMS(R)S causing a service interruption that would affect the availability of Iridium AMSS/AMS(R)S operating on separate aircraft in oceanic airspace is very small • In oceanic airspace, Inmarsat AMSS/AMS(R)S out of band emissions from one aircraft do not cause harmful interference to Iridium AMSS/AMS(R)S on another aircraft: - The functioning of Iridium AMSS/AMS(R)S is not endangered; - No serious degradation, obstruction or repeated interruption of the operation of Iridium AMSS/AMS(R)S 3 Released to ICAO ACP WGM June 18, 2008 Full disclosure, etc. • This work was based on the volumetric interference approach briefed to AMCP WGA in 1998-2000… • …and supported by Iridium, LLC (the old Iridium). -

Ideaworks Announces Client Relationships in the Travel and Cons
Contact: Jay Sorensen For inquiries: 414-961-1939 Jay @ IdeaworksCompany.com Southwest, JetBlue Lead Average Reward Price Rankings Among Five Major US Frequent Flyer Programs Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey finds that pay-with-points change still yields similar reward price rankings. August 22, 2016, Shorewood, Wisconsin ─ Low-cost carriers Southwest and JetBlue continue to offer US flyers the lowest average reward seat pricing, despite an industry shift to dollar-based rather than mileage-based loyalty points accrual. The rankings for the two airlines mirror the results from 2015—and from the year before, when miles flown was the universal accrual method. These findings derive from the IdeaWorksCompany annual Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey. In May the firm released reward seat availability rankings for 25 of the world’s largest airlines. Today's analysis features average reward prices associated with US frequent flyer programs that use ticket prices, rather than miles flown, as an accrual method. Among these programs, the pay-with-points method used by Southwest and JetBlue yielded lower prices for short and medium haul reward travel. Until recently, American, Delta, and United based accrual on the distance flown—like most major airlines around the world. Now this is changing to a revenue-based method similar to JetBlue and Southwest. Among low economy fare passengers, who don’t have elite tier status, JetBlue's TrueBlue and Southwest's Rapid Rewards programs offer higher accrual at 6 points per dollar compared to the rate of 5 miles per dollar offered by the others. This is combined with lower average reward prices, Southwest being the lowest at 10,182 points per roundtrip reward. -
