Landing Gear Failure Forces Emergency Landing of USAF Aircraft at Bogotá's El Dorado Airport

On August 15, 2024, a Beechcraft C-12C Huron operated by the U.S. Air Force conducted an emergency landing at Bogotá-Eldorado Airport, Colombia, due to a main landing gear malfunction. The aircraft, which had departed from the same airport, returned shortly after takeoff when the crew detected the issue. Despite the landing gear collapsing upon touchdown, the crew safely controlled the aircraft, avoiding casualties, though the incident caused significant delays at the airport as the aircraft remained immobilized on the northern runway until it was removed later in the day.

SARPcheck global aviation safety audit: A wet lease, codeshare, ACMI Booster

SARPcheck is a new global aviation safety audit that assesses airline compliance with select ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) across defined ICAO Annexes. The primary aim of this audit is to enhance global flight safety while providing an affordable and accessible tool to facilitate ACMI, wet lease, and codeshare operations. The ICAO Annexes and SARPs that SARPcheck focuses on are specifically those outlined by regulatory and industry standards, including FAA requirements for overseeing foreign air carriers and the TCO approval elements of EASA.

SARPcheck is governed by a London-based not-for-profit organization, the Safety Audit Review Partnership (SARP Ltd.), which accredits Safety Quality Organizations (SQOs) such as AEROTHRIVE, Aviation Quality Services and WAKE (QA) LIMITED to conduct these audits globally. Detailed information about the program, including the SARPcheck Program Manual (SCPM), informative brochures, and the latest updates, is available on our website at www.SARP.org. For further inquiries or personal assistance, please feel free to send me a message. I'm always happy to help! Lufthansa City Airlines is the global launch customer of SARPcheck.
