Icing has been identified as a fact in the preliminary report about the VOEPASS Linhas Aéreas flight 2283 accident (a fact, not a cause yet, this is only a preliminary report). I've put together a summary of what icing is, how it happens, how it affects aircraft and how it can be handled, so that everybody can understand it when we speak about it. Please share it and as always, comments are welcome. https://lnkd.in/dn-uyrX3

VoePass Flight 2Z2283 update. Aircraft appears to have descended out of control, in what appears to be a flat spin, which could easily have been triggered by a deep stall. Severe Icing was forecast for the route of flight. Severe icing can have profound effects on aircraft performance and flight control. Flightradar24 shared true airspeed data, which was much more reasonable in comparison to failed ground speed data. Flight data and voice recorders have been recovered and will be very helpful for determining what caused the upset, how the aircraft and systems responded, and what actions the flight crew took in response. https://lnkd.in/g34MQejF

Spatial disorientation in aviation is a phenomenon where a pilot's perception of direction or position is incorrect, often due to misleading sensory information. It can lead to dangerous situations, especially in poor visibility or during complex maneuvers. One example is the "graveyard spiral," where a pilot enters a descending turn and doesn't realize it, leading to a loss of control. Understanding spatial disorientation is crucial for pilots to mitigate its effects and stay safe in the skies. #AviationSafety #SpatialDisorientation #StaySafeInTheSkies #avelflightschool

✈️ Our #NVIS technology is capable of facilitating efficient, effective and safe night flight operations. Our goal is to promote education and awareness of the proper use of these goggles to prevent accidents or costly losses. By using them, we significantly increase safety and efficiency in air operations by reducing risks at critical moments such as landings and takeoffs, which are considered the most dangerous in any #flight plan.

‼️Interesting Information ⚠️✈️ ✈️ **Navigating Through the Fog: CAT I, II, and III Approaches** ✈️ In aviation, not all landings are created equal. When weather conditions reduce visibility, **CAT I, II, and III approaches** come into play, helping pilots land safely even in the toughest conditions. Here’s a quick breakdown: 🔹 **CAT I (Category I)**: - **Minimum visibility**: 200 feet above the runway - Pilots can rely on the aircraft’s instruments but need to see the runway at 200 feet to land. This is the most commonly used instrument approach in aviation. 🔹 **CAT II (Category II)**: - **Minimum visibility**: 100 feet above the runway - Advanced systems allow aircraft to approach the runway in even lower visibility. CAT II requires more specialized equipment both in the aircraft and on the ground, as well as additional pilot training. 🔹 **CAT III (Category III)**: - **Divided into CAT IIIa, IIIb, and IIIc** - **CAT IIIa**: Landings with a decision height as low as 50 feet. - **CAT IIIb**: Approaches with no decision height and very low visibility (as low as 75 meters on the runway). - **CAT IIIc**: The ultimate precision approach—allowing landings with **zero decision height** and **zero visibility**. The plane can land purely on autopilot systems without any visual cues.( not approved yet ) With each category, the level of automation and precision increases, ensuring that planes can land safely, even when the runway is invisible until the last few moments—or not visible at all! These advanced systems are a testament to the incredible engineering and coordination between ground systems, aircraft technology, and the skill of pilots and dispatchers. Because in aviation, no matter how thick the fog, we always find a way to land safely. #AviationDailynews #Aviators #Weather #Globalairports #Globalaviation #asia #Middleeast #Europe #linkedInfam

💡 Aviation Word of The Day - Vx: 🔹Vx is the best angle-of-climb speed 🔹It is the airspeed at which an airplane gains the greatest amount of altitude in a given distance 🔹Essential for pilots to understand and use when terrain or obstacles require a steep ascent

Ever wonder how pilots and flight dispatchers know whether a runway has good braking conditions to slow the airplane down? The awesome staff at the Appleton International Airport Airport recently shared this video that shows the process of obtaining a FICON or field condition report. The FICON informs aviation operators (airlines, flight dispatch, pilots, ATC) of runway conditions, is the runway dry, wet or contaminated. There could be standing water, snow, slush, ice on the runway. These conditions impact the capability of airplanes to slow down on landing. RCAM or Runway Conditon Assesment Matrix provides the actual braking action report to pilots, flight dispatch’s and ATC as to good, medium, poor and nil (no) braking action. The worse the report, the more difficult it will be to safely decelerate the airplane! If your interested to learn more about airport conditions like this or learn more about flight dispatch, you can visit the North American Flight Control website to learn more, https://lnkd.in/gFmJWXa #airport #atw #aviation #winterops #weather #meteorology #tripsupport #dispatch #pilot #travel
