Amid violent unrest in New Caledonia, the governments of Australia and New Zealand are sending planes to evacuate their nationals. Hundreds of tourists have been trapped in hotels due to the turmoil. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong confirmed that French authorities have authorized two evacuation flights, with additional flights being planned. Approximately 300 Australians are currently in New Caledonia. New Zealand's Foreign Minister Winston Peters announced that an initial flight would bring home 50 passengers with urgent needs, with more flights to follow. The French High Commission in New Caledonia reported that the airport remains closed for commercial flights, leaving around 3,200 people stranded. The unrest in New Caledonia began over changes to the constitution that would allow more migrants, primarily from France, to vote, sparking deadly riots after the National Assembly approved the changes. The riots have led to six deaths, hundreds of injuries, and widespread destruction, including looted and burnt businesses and road barricades. The indigenous Kanak people fear the new voting rules will dilute their political influence. French authorities are deploying additional military and police forces to protect public buildings and maintain order. New Caledonia, a French territory since 1853, holds significant geopolitical and economic importance to France, especially as a major producer of nickel, essential for electric vehicle batteries. Source: AFP, AP, Reuters So what It is surprising to me that these evacuations have taken so long, it is likely that if the country was not controlled by France then they would have happened much sooner. One trouble, particularly for NZ will be a lack of air assets, limiting the number of trips and likely leading to a reliance on Australia to evacuate some of our citizens. Regardless, this is a great example of why countries, even little old New Zealand need a defence force, because you never know where and when you will need them.

There’s a lot to do when safely flying an aircraft. Here’s how pilots divvy up their roles when there’s two on board: https://lnkd.in/g7T4fwGm #pilottraininglife #airlinepilottraining #commercialpilottraining

Did you know that airline crews are exposed to more radiation on average than any other profession? Despite this, most airlines do not use professional services to monitor cosmic radiation levels.   As a result, aircrew members are often unaware of their actual exposure. Just as a pilot wouldn’t fly without an instrument panel, it's crucial to have the data needed to manage exposure to cosmic radiation effectively.   Learn how we monitor aircrew radiation by visiting www.pcaire.com or following us for more information!

Nope. Others have asked the same question and answered by saying, let's find out. The answer is still no and the article explains why... #aviation #pilot #pilotlife #learn #pilottraining #airplane #aircraft #fly #flight #flighttraining #aircraftowner #ceo #business #businessaviation #safety #safetyculture #training #weather #lessons Boldmethod

[FREE TO READ] "Fume events" are underreported, with a spokesperson for the Australian Federation of Air Pilots (AFAP) explaining that dangerous and potentially deadly #fumes on aircraft, especially older planes, are a much bigger problem than anyone realises. “The AFAP would like to see the Civil Aviation Safety Authority take this issue more seriously, including insisting that high-grade air filters be made mandatory for all commercial airliners flying in Australia, and that bleed air systems are redesigned in future aircraft. We should also see appropriate and accurate testing of fumes in aircraft cabins.” Fume events are the result of the long-term design flaw that sees bleed air mixed into cabin air across most aircraft makers, including Boeing and Airbus ... After a fume event on a Qantas National Jet Systems #B717 last year, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau found that airborne contaminants “may result in the rapid onset of incapacitation, which although possibly subtle, can significantly affect the safety of flight”. “Contaminants from bleed air may be being inhaled unknowingly. It’s in the interest of aircrews and passengers that operators take this issue seriously and look for ways of mitigation — but that means spending money.” “The union is calling for aircraft to be refitted with total air filtration and stop using #bleedair that is run over engines.” Global Cabin Air Quality Executive (www.gcaqe.org)- Susan Michaelis PhD, MSc, ATPL, IOSH, IIRSM - IFALPA - Flight Attendants' Association of Australia (FAAA) - IFALPA #pilots #cabincrew #airlinecrew #cabinairfilter #aerotoxicsyndrome #airlines #fumes  #cabinairquality

Air Ambulance charities are often asked: Do you fly patients to hospital? 🚁 Occasionally, when flying is deemed the quickest and most suitable method of hospital transfer, Air Ambulance charities utilise the helicopter for patient transportation. Air Ambulance charities often opt to transfer patients in ground ambulances. This allows the crew to maintain close monitoring and provide ongoing specialised care during the journey to the hospital. 🚑 #didyouknow #AirAmbulancesUK #AirAmbulances
