Commentary: One of aviation’s biggest challenges played out on a Tokyo runway

If the coast guard plane touched down on the tarmac, that would be an instance of a runway invasion, which is risky but fairly popular. &nbsp,

Most of the time, it goes unnoticed and is referred to as an aircraft incident—an event that occurred without having an impact. However, occasionally they lead to accidents, in&nbsp, with a motion or injury. It is difficult to track the scope of the problem worldwide because accidents are reported to authorities and the nbsp while incidents does not. &nbsp,

QUIET CALLS

According to data from the International Civil Aviation Organization of the United Nations, runway safety accounts for nearly 60 % of all accidents, far outpacing loss of control in flight, which occurred in about 30 % of cases ( an event can have multiple causes ).

The fact that airport attacks have remained stable andnbsp over the past ten years at a rate of only under five per day in the United States rather than declining in line with increased overall aviation security is of the utmost concern.

In the roughly 16, 000 airport attacks that the Federal Aviation Administration has documented over the past ten years, 63 % of them were caused by pilot deviation, or when the pilot violated federal aviation regulations by crossing a runway without permission. Control and actions by air traffic and nbsp were the second-biggest factor, accounting for 18 %. &nbsp,

The National Transportation Safety Board’s Chair, Jennifer Homendy, stated at a convention on airport security in May that” the most dangerous attacks, the closest names, appear to be on the rise.” She remembered one new incident from February of last year among others. When a passenger aircraft with 131 people on board and nbsp, in its path on the ground away, the pilot of the cargo plane saw it abort its landing in Austin, Texas. The two planes approached each other by 35 meters.

That close call is oddly comparable to what occurred in Tokyo.

Mahathir denies hand in alleged ‘Dubai Move’ to topple government; PAS chief claims no need to ‘shop’ for support

SINGAPORE: Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad denied his involvement in the” Dubai Move” for the first time on Friday ( Jan 5 ) while opposition Parti Islam Se-Malaysia ( PAS ) leader Abdul Hadi Awang asserts that his party only needs to rely on democratic principles to win the support of Members of Parliament ( MPs ) in order to form the government. &nbsp,

Separately, in relation to the reported Dubai Move, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi urged members of the opposition to prevent any behavior that “waste the person’s time.” &nbsp,

First off, I have n’t visited Dubai in a while, Dr. Mahathir wrote on social media site X. &nbsp,

Dr. Mahathir mocked Mr. Anwar in a post on Friday, saying that as long as he is elected prime minister, any attempts to form an unofficial government are” considerable genuine and natural.” &nbsp,

” I have the numbers” and” strong, fierce, and encouraging majority” were two additional strategies used by Mr. Anwar. &nbsp,
