ICAO EUR/NAT Regions Provider States and Regular Observers ICAO EUR/NAT REGIONS PROVIDER STATES AND REGULAR OBSERVERS, SUPPLEMENTED BY OTHER STAKEHOLDERS, TO MEET ON MAY 12, 2010 IN PARIS TO REVIEW VOLCANIC ASH CONTINGENCY PLANS Paris (France), 30 April 2010 – In light of the contingency plans enforced by States as a result of the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano in Iceland, the Regional Director of the Paris-based EUR/NAT Office convened a new task force composed of representatives from the European and North Atlantic Provider States, as well as stakeholders, to review the plans. The so-called European and North Atlantic Task Force (EUR/NAT VATF) will hold its first meeting at the EUR/NAT Office premises on 12 May 2010 and is expected to develop, as appropriate, its proposals for amendment of the Volcanic Ash Contingency Plan –EUR Region (EUR Doc 019) and the North Atlantic Volcanic Ash Contingency Plan (NAT Doc 006 Part 2) to the relevant regional planning groups not later than 14 June 2010. EUR/NAT VATF will work in close cooperation with the International Volcanic Ash Task Force set up by ICAO Headquarters to address such issues at a multiregional level. As anticipated, such tasks will be performed by delegates from provider States in the European and North Atlantic Regions supplemented by other stakeholders such as CANSO, Eurocontrol, the European Commission, IATA, IBAC, ICCAIA, IFALPA, IFACTA and the World Meteorological Organization. The convening of such a task force was ultimely decided by the Chairmen of both the European and North Atlantic regional planning groups (i.e. EANPG and NAT SPG) following the relevant proposal by the ICAO EUR/NAT Office for the urgent reactivation of a regional Volcanic Ash Task Force. The previous task force convened for the last time in 2005 (after the eruption of the Icelandic Grimsvötn Volcano in 2004) which completed the assigned task related to the setting up of the relevant EUR ATM contingency plans which proved successful in ensuring safety during the last volcanic event. In fact, as a result of the recent eruption event, many States amongst those affected enacted volcanic ash contingency procedures for the management of air traffic, following the guidance contained in the related ICAO documents. In addition to this, the International Airways Volcano Watch (IAVW) System, set up by ICAO in 1987 in coordination with the WMO, to detect and track the movement of volcanic ash in the atmosphere, ensured the timely and effective dissemination of the necessary aeronautical meteorological advisories and warnings for international civil aviation. During the first EUR/NAT VATF meeting, the Secretariat, supported by the Eurocontrol Central Flow Management Unit and NAT Region Air Navigation Service Providers, will brief the Task Force on operational ATM measures taken in reaction to the eruption. Following discussion, the Task Force will decide on the work to be performed and assign agreed tasks. EUR/NAT VATF: ICAO State Letter by the EUR/NAT Regional Director convening First meeting of the new EUR/NAT VATF EUR/NAT VATF Terms of Reference EUR/NAT VATF Agenda ICAO Volcanic Ash Guidance Material: Manual on Volcanic Ash, Radioactive Material and Toxic Chemical Clouds (Doc 9691) Volcanic Ash Contingency Plan – EUR Region (EUR Doc 019) North Atlantic Volcanic Ash Contingency Plan (NAT Doc 006, Part 2) Additional reference material can be also found in Annexes 3, 11, 15 as well as in the Handbook on the international Airways Volcano Watch (IAVW) Operational Procedures Manual (Doc 9766) Attachment to letter of 28 April 2010, ref. EUR/NAT 10-0376.TEC European and North Atlantic Volcanic Ash Task Force (EUR/NAT VATF) TERMS OF REFERENCE Deliverables The EUR/NAT VATF shall develop proposals for amendment of the Volcanic Ash Contingency Plan – EUR Region (EUR Doc 019), and the North Atlantic Volcanic Ash Contingency Plan (NAT Doc 006, Part 2) for presentation to the Provider States of the EUR and NAT Regions not later than 14 June 2010. Background material When developing the amendment proposals, the EUR/NAT VATF shall take into account: 1. ATM/ATFM response to the recent eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, Iceland, starting on 14 April 2010, on the basis of the guidance contained in the current editions of the EUR and NAT Volcanic Ash Contingency Plans, and the Volcanic Ash Advisories, SIGMETs and NOTAMs issued in accordance with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices; 2. The decision by some EUR Provider States to define, on the basis of revised threshold values for ash particle concentration and effective 20 April 2010 at 06:00 UTC: a. “no fly zones” (including buffer zones) of airspaces closed to civil aviation; b. “low contaminated” airspaces where the forecast volcanic ash particle concentrations were deemed low enough to allow civil aviation to operate, under certain conditions; and c. “non-contaminated” airspaces (i.e. airspaces with no restrictions applied); 3. The decision by NAT Provider States to allow civil aircraft to operate, under certain conditions, above airspaces within which the presence of ash particles was forecast and to publish Organized Track Systems (OTS) above such airspaces. Composition The EUR/NAT VATF shall be composed of representatives from the EUR and the NAT Provider States as well as CANSO, EUROCONTROL, European Commission, IATA, IBAC, ICCAIA, IFALPA, IFATCA and the World Meteorological Organization. The EUR/NAT VATF will be moderated by the Secretary of the EANPG and the NAT SPG, and the EUR/NAT Office of ICAO will serve as its Secretariat. Working methods To avoid overlap and duplication, the EUR/NAT VATF shall keep in mind the Terms of Reference of the International Volcanic Ash Task Force (IVATF) and shall, through its Secretariat, inform the IVATF about progress of the work. The EUR/NAT VATF will be expected to carry out its work via correspondence and/or teleconferences to the extent possible, limiting the need for physical meetings.

RECORD OF AMENDMENTS AND CORRIGENDA AMENDMENTS CORRIGENDA No. Date Entered by No. Date Entered by 1 14/12/07 ICAO 1 31/5/07 ICAO 2 31/3/08 ICAO (ii) FOREWORD On 24 June 1982, the aviation community and much of the world learned of the drama involving a British Airways B747 aircraft which lost power on all four engines while flying at 11 300 m (37 000 ft) from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Perth, Australia. During the ensuing sixteen minutes, the aircraft descended without power from 11 300 m to 3 650 m (37 000 ft to 12 000 ft), at which point the pilot was able to restart three of the engines and make a successful emergency landing at Jakarta, Indonesia. Over the next few days the civil aviation authorities, engine manufacturers and the airline company involved mounted an urgent investigation into the cause of the four-engine flame-out. On-site inspection of the airframe and engines revealed a general “sand-blasted” appearance to the leading edges of the wing and engine inlet surfaces, the radome and the cockpit windows. Borescope inspection of the engines revealed no apparent mechanical damage and no fuel problem, but heavy deposits of an unknown material were found on the concave surfaces of the high-pressure turbine and nozzle guide vanes. The report of the incident by the pilot indicated that an acrid electrical smell had been noticed in the cockpit at the time and what appeared to be very fine dust or smoke entered the cockpit.

    Families could visit remote Erebus crash site to mark anniversary | NA... http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/families-could-visit-remote-erebus-crash... Back to previous page | Go to the national section Families could visit Erebus crash site Published: 5:06AM Thursday September 24, 2009 Source: ONE News ONE NewsWreckage from the Erebus crash Air New Zealand is considering giving three family members of victims of the Mount Erebus disaster the chance to visit the crash site to mark the 30th anniversary of the accident on November 28. An Air New Zealand DC10, flight TE 901 smashed into the side of Mt Erebus on November 28 1979 during an Antarctic scenic flight - killing all 257 on board, 214 were eventually identified. In the past family members were not allowed to visit the remote crash site due to logistical difficulties. However, to mark the upcoming anniversary, Air New Zealand is considering giving a family representative of each of those lost the opportunity to visit the memorial in Antarctica. It's now proposing that three of those places would be taken by passenger's next-of-kin, with another two places taken by representatives of the cabin and flight crew. Air New Zealand Deputy Chief Executive Officer Norm Thompson says the airline would like feedback from families on whether they feel it is appropriate for these seats to be filled by next-of-kin. He says the airline would also like to receive feedback from next-of-kin about whether they would like the opportunity to have messages for loved ones placed in a capsule near the accident site.

  • Corporations, Crime and Accountability Theories of Institutional Design
    Corporations, Crime and Accountability Theories of institutional design SERIES EDITOR Robert E. Goodin Research School of Social Sciences Australian National University ADVISORY EDITORS Brian Barry, Russell Hardin, Carole Pateman, Barry Weingast, Stephen Elkin, Claus Offe, Susan Rose-Ackerman Social scientists have rediscovered institutions. They have been increasingly concerned with the myriad ways in which social and political institutions shape the patterns of individual interactions which produce social phenom- ena. They are equally concerned with the ways in which those institutions emerge from such interactions. This series is devoted to the exploration of the more normative aspects of these issues. What makes one set of institutions better than another? How, if at all, might we move from a less desirable set of institutions to a more desir- able set? Alongside the questions of what institutions we would design, if we were designing them afresh, are pragmatic questions of how we can best get from here to there: from our present institutions to new revitalised ones. Theories of institutional design is insistently multidisciplinary and inter- disciplinary, both in the institutions on which it focuses, and in the methodol- ogies used to study them. There are interesting sociological questions to be asked about legal institutions, interesting legal questions to be asked about economic institutions, and interesting social, economic and legal questions to be asked about political institutions. By juxtaposing these approaches in print,

Diane Erceg ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Along this PhD journey I have been guided, inspired and supported by a group of very special people without whom this thesis would not have been possible. First, I would like to thank my incredible supervisory panel: Libby Robin, Tom Griffiths and Cameron Muir. I am so grateful to Libby for her unwavering dedication to me and my work. Her wisdom, big ideas and dynamism have sharpened my thinking and writing, and challenged me to look at the familiar world of Antarctic tourism in profound and creative new ways. Libby’s support has gone above and beyond what I could have expected from a supervisor, and I thank her for the many ways she has enriched my work and my life. Five years ago, I came across a book called Slicing the Silence: Voyaging to Antarctica and thought that a return to academia might not be such a crazy idea if I could be mentored by somebody like Tom Griffiths.

School of Earth and Climate Sciences, University of Maine. 2. Climate Change Institute, University of Maine. Abstract: During the late Pleistocene glaciers extended across the Arkansas River valley, Colorado, damming the river and forming a lake. Flood boulders on terraces downstream from the lake suggest at least two flood events. We propose to model these floods to learn more about water depth downstream of the dam breach, and thus possibly reduce future disasters elsewhere. Setting: crossed the Arkansas River and slammed into Keenan Lee (Lee 2008) was one the first (with the Mosquito Range on the east side of the Scott, 1975) to find evidence for glacial lake valley. These ice rafted boulders give evidence outburst floods in the Arkansas River valley, of the extent of water at the moments of the Colorado, during the Pleistocene. outburst floods, but this evidence does not Flood landforms are features of these constrain the depths of the floods sufficiently catastrophic events.
