  • Near-Miss, Aircraft Incident at Lappeenranta TMA, Finland on 29 July 1999
    Near-miss, Aircraft Incident at Lappeenranta TMA, Finland on 29 July 1999 Micro-summary: A near-miss between a Saab 340 and a glider. Event Date: 1999-07-29 at 1600 local Investigative Body: Finland Accident Investigation Board (AIB), Finland Investigative Body's Web Site: http://www.onnettomuustutkinta.fi/ 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.

  • Kaakkois Suomen Rajastrategia
    Mobility across the eastern border is increasing and a visa waiver is expected. Border-crossing points and the regions near the border need investments in traffic and logistics connections. Border traffic in Southeast Finland the heaviest it has ever been – and strong growth continues How to prepare for increasing freight traffic? How to prepare for an increase in passenger traffic due to travel and services? Traffic is increasing strongly – what about the border-crossing resources? The impact of Russia is more evident in Southeast Finland than in other parts of the country. If the economic situation and development in Russia remain more stable than those of the Euro zone, it will open up new opportunities for this region. However, the utilisation of Southeast Finland’s advantageous location requires the development of border-crossing points and traffic connections as well as the development of shopping travel, tourism and other business, business expertise and logistics. The increasing integration in the production structures of Southeast Finland and Northwest Russia is apparent, and this exerts an effect on cultural-social convergence as well. The visa waiver would play an important role. The cross-border transport of products, goods and people has already increased. Passenger travel is as busy as it has ever been, which also shows as duty-free sales records and an increasingg number of hotel stays.y Freightg traffic is on the same level as in 2006 and is still increasing.
