The information shall not be released, disclosed, or used for any purpose without express written consent of Avatar Airlines. Avatar Airlines | Technical Publications THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK FLIGHT CREW TRAINING MANUAL SCL.1 SAFETY COMMITMENT LETTER ARevision: A avatar airlines 04-Nov-2020 Safety Commitment LetterSAFETY COMMITMENT LETTER To: The Employees of Avatar Airlines We regularly review our commitment to Safety and Security in order to keep it front and center in our business. As Avatar leaders we commit to maintaining the highest level of safety and security for our customers and providing a safe work environment for all Avatar employees, We are committed to continuous improvement in the Avatar operation by evaluating, investigating, analyzing, assessing and mitigating hazards on a continuous basis. Safety and Security of the Avatar operation are priority #1. To ensure this happens, we recognize that an effective Safety Management System (SMS) is vital to the success of Avatar Airlines. We are committed to providing the necessary resources for the continual implementation of our SMS; 14 CFR 5.21(a)(3). This will allow us to continue to improve the level of safety and security throughout Avatar Airlines. The Avatar Director of Safety has authority to facilitate and manage the Avatar Safety Management System. Safety objectives will be established, published and made available to all Avatar employees. The safety objectives will be posted on the Avatar Intranet, accessible to all employees. Safety objectives will be a continuous focus as they are monitored, measured, and tracked to ensure that we meet these objectives. We believe responding to an emergency is the highest priority of management and employees. The Emergency Response Plan (ERP) serves as an overall policy and set of procedures to ensure that the airline's response to a catastrophic event is expeditious, intelligent and compassionate. We periodically exercise the plan to ensure the plan continues to provide a safe transition from normal to emergency operations, 14 CFR 5.21(a)(6). We will not tolerate intentional at-risk actions or behaviors at Avatar Airlines. All employees are personally responsible and accountable for performing their duties safely and in compliance with laws, regulations and company policy. Activities involving disregard of these items will be subject to disciplinary action. We believe this is a necessary element of a Just Culture, 14 CFR 5.21(a)(5). Every employee must continuously be aware of hazards that have the potential to degrade the level of safety and security for our employees and our passengers. It is the duty of all employees to report hazards either directly to management or through reporting tools available to Avatar employees, 14 CFR 5.21(a)(4). FLIGHT CREW TRAINING MANUAL SCL.2 SAFETY COMMITMENT LETTER ARevision: A avatar airlines 04-Nov-2020 At Avatar, no one will allow any operation to proceed unless he or she is certain it can be carried out with Safety and Security. To support every Avatar employee in making the hard personal decisions that this may require, no penalty or disciplinary action will be imposed on any employee who stops an operation and brings what he or she genuinely views to be a safety or security concern to management or a fellow employee.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency has demonstrated that protecting public health in the air transportation system is just as critical as aviation safety and security to the confidence of the flying public. Government, aviation, and public health leaders have been working together—and must continue to do so—to meaningfully reduce the public health risk and restore passenger, aviation workforce (including aircrew), and public confidence in air travel. The U.S. Government continues to assess the evolving situation and the effectiveness of actions and recommendations implemented to date. This updated guidance reflects this continual assessment and updated information. Although there are some updates and adjustments throughout, the key additions and changes in this document include new information on: » Passenger and Aviation Workforce Education » Contact Tracing » Mask Use, specifically the need to accommodate those who cannot wear masks » Passenger Testing This document provides the U.S.

  • Interim Guidance About Ebola Infection for Airline Crews, Cleaning Personnel, and Cargo Personnel
    Ebola Guidance for Airlines Interim Guidance about Ebola Infection for Airline Crews, Cleaning Personnel, and Cargo Personnel Updated October 15, 2014 CDC requests airline crews to ask sick travelers if they were in Guinea, Liberia, or Sierra Leone in the last 21 days. 1. If YES, AND they have any of these Ebola symptoms—fever, severe headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, or unexplained bruising or bleeding—report immediately to CDC. 2. If NO, follow routine procedures. Purpose: To give information to airlines on stopping ill travelers from boarding, managing and reporting onboard sick travelers, protecting crew and passengers from infection, and cleaning the plane and disinfecting contaminated areas. Key Points Ebola video: What Airline Crew and Staff Need to Know A U.S. Department of Transportation rule permits airlines to deny boarding to air travelers with serious contagious diseases that could spread during flight, including travelers with possible Ebola symptoms. This rule applies to all flights of U.S. airlines, and to Watch on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgOsEFtLDlU) direct flights (no change of planes) to or from the United States by foreign airlines. Cabin crew should follow routine infection control precautions for onboard sick travelers. If in-flight cleaning is needed, cabin crew should follow routine airline procedures using personal protective equipment available in the Universal Precautions Kit. If a traveler is confirmed to have had infectious Ebola on a flight, CDC will conduct an investigation to assess risk and inform passengers and crew of possible exposure. Hand hygiene (http://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/) and other routine infection control measures should be followed.

  • Aircraft Accident Report: American Airlines, Inc., Mcdonnell Douglas
    Explosive decompression, American Airlines, Inc., McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10, N103AA, Near Windsor, Ontario, Canada, June 12, 1972 Micro-summary: On climb, this McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 experienced an opening of a cargo door, explosive decompression, and a main cabin floor collapse, disrupting the flight control system. Event Date: 1972-06-12 at 1925 EST Investigative Body: National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), USA Investigative Body's Web Site: http://www.ntsb.gov/ Cautions: 1. Accident reports can be and sometimes are revised. Be sure to consult the investigative agency for the latest version before basing anything significant on content (e.g., thesis, research, etc). 2. Readers are advised that each report is a glimpse of events at specific points in time. While broad themes permeate the causal events leading up to crashes, and we can learn from those, the specific regulatory and technological environments can and do change. Your company's flight operations manual is the final authority as to the safe operation of your aircraft! 3. Reports may or may not represent reality. Many many non-scientific factors go into an investigation, including the magnitude of the event, the experience of the investigator, the political climate, relationship with the regulatory authority, technological and recovery capabilities, etc. It is recommended that the reader review all reports analytically. Even a "bad" report can be a very useful launching point for learning. 4. Contact us before reproducing or redistributing a report from this anthology. Individual countries have very differing views on copyright! We can advise you on the steps to follow.
