It has become very apparent that EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency has been working with EU aircraft manufacturer Airbus to develop criteria for the development of enhanced minimum crew operations and single pilot operations on specific aircraft with the goal of eliminating a two-pilot flight deck. The regulatory agency’s timeline for assessing issues with and implementing reduced-crew operations into the EU regulatory framework is aggressive, with no data or information to justify such a drastic degradation of safety in the aviation industry.

At its core, what Airbus is trying to do would leave one pilot alone on the flight deck during the cruise phase of the flight while the other pilot is in another part of the aircraft. When this one pilot attends to physiological needs or becomes incapacitated it leaves no one at the controls, the only person who can step in to fly that aircraft will be asleep in a bunk rather than on the flight deck where they belong. Single pilot operations are effectively zero pilot operations in airline transportation, which could be catastrophic in an emergency.     I have thousands of hours over the North Atlantic, and can tell you with no uncertainty that in the middle of the night in cruise, having only one pilot is a significant degradation in safety. Imagine an emergency like an engine fire, security event or incapacitation of the remaining pilot.      The safety of the traveling and shipping public demands we refuse to entertain this unsafe idea.

This exchange between Alaska 1282 and traffic controllers is another example of the professionalism of ATC and flight crews in commercial aviation while under significant pressure. It follows last week’s JAL Airbus A350 crash which also underlined the value of high performance crew training. Both events avoided fatalities in the two jets but are significant episodes that require answers about plug manufacturing (Boeing) and fire management (Airbus) in new technology aircraft.

Last week I represented Embraer in discussions at RTCA aimed at improving takeoff safety. Representatives from Aircraft manufacturers, Avionics suppliers, CAAs, Airlines and pilot associations all together in very interesting debates about possibilities and available resources. #TowardsSaferAviation

April 2024 marks 19 years of the Airbus A380, with the aircraft first taking to the skies on April 27, 2005. We used our #flightdata to examine the past 12 months of A380 operations, looking at the key operators, routes and the utilization of specific aircraft.
