Plus, our first report from the Singapore Airshow. Guest Air Accident Updates We look at some air accident and incident updates in the press: NTSB Chair Slams FAA for Ignoring Repeated Warnings, Says Midair Collision Was Preventable In this C-Span video, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy slams the FAA, saying that it let its guard down and ignored repeated warnings that ultimately led to the deadly midair collision near Washington Reagan National Airport on January 29, 2025, that killed 67 people. “We should be angry, because for years no one listened. This was preventable. This was 100 percent preventable,” Homendy says. Passengers on JetBlue Plane That Plummeted When Flight Computer “Glitched Out” Sue Airbus for Negligence The JetBlue A320 experienced a sudden “uncommanded loss of altitude,” initially attributed to a software glitch that Airbus believed could result from intense solar radiation. This led to an emergency worldwide recall in November 2025, with an estimated 6,000 A320-series aircraft affected. Three passengers on that flight are now suing Airbus for allowing an “unreasonably dangerous” glitch in the system to go unchecked. Those passengers question the solar flare explanation and claim that JetBlue was aware of a recurring issue with the Elevator and Aileron Computer (ELAC) system. No defect found in switch of jet grounded by Air India – regulator Pilots on an Air India B787-8 noticed that during engine start, the fuel control switch did not “remain positively latched in the run position when light vertical pressure was applied”. This happened twice. The third time, the switch operated normally. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said that when the switches were operated according to Boeing’s recommended procedure, they were found to be “satisfactory”, staying at run instead of moving to cut-off. The DGCA reported that, when incorrectly handled, the switch would “move easily from run to cut-off”.

Three United Airlines Flight Attendants Seriously Injured After Air Traffic Control Failed To Alert Pilots Of Turbulence The NTSB has released its final report on the February 10, 2024, incident where a United Airlines 777-200 experienced a sudden drop, seriously injuring three flight attendants and throwing several passengers and an unsecured baby into the ceiling. The NTSB concluded that a contributing factor was air traffic controllers’ failure to alert the pilots of turbulence in the area. TSB Canada Releases Update on 2025 Toronto CRJ-900 Crash Investigation Photo Credit: TSB Canada. The accident occurred at Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) on February 17, 2025, when the CRJ-900 regional jet attempted to land and struck the runway hard, causing the right wing and tail section to separate from the fuselage. The plane flipped upside down and slid to a stop. The wreckage was transported to a hangar while the right wing, landing gear, wing box structure, and related parts were taken to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) Engineering Laboratory in Ottawa for testing. The metallurgical analysis of the wing and landing-gear fractures is now being examined. Recordings from the flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder, quick access recorder (QAR), and the enhanced ground proximity warning system have been examined. Data from prior flights on the same aircraft were also compared to the accident flight for context. Evidence was collected from NAV CANADA's Toronto surface movement guidance system and the airport's closed-circuit television footage. A full meteorological review, including wind data and soundings, has also been finalized to understand weather conditions at the time. Simulator sessions have been run. The full preliminary report is available here. Aviation News Under Pressure American Airlines CEO Robert Isom Tells Staff That Everything Will Be Alright In New Video Message In a new video message to staffers, American Airlines chief executive Robert Isom says, “As we look forward to 2026, it's with a lot of excitement and confidence. I know we're going to do better financially and operationally. We have a plan to be solidly profitable this year, which will mean good things for our customers, our shareholders, and all of you.” Isom articulated strategies concerning the customer experience, hub facility investments, maximizing the power of the AA network and fleet, new routes, new frontline team members, new aircraft, AAdvantage program changes, and doing a better job selling the AA product. Trump's U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy Doubles Down on Purging DEI From Our Skies, Calls on Airlines to Affirm Pilot Hiring is Merit-Based The FAA is issuing a new mandatory “Operations Specification” (OpSpec) requiring all commercial airlines to commit to merit-based hiring for pilots formally. The mandate (New Mandatory OpSpec A134, Merit-Based Pilot Hiring, for Certificate Holders Conducting Operations Under 14 CFR Part 121 [PDF]) is effective February 13, 2026. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said, “When families board their aircraft, they should fly with confidence knowing the pilot behind the controls is the best of the best. The American people don't care what their pilot looks like or their gender—they just care that they are most qualified man or woman for the job. Safety drives everything we do, and this commonsense measure will increase transparency between passengers and airlines.” ALPA Statement on Pilot Training and Qualification Standards Capt. Jason Ambrosi, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), issued a statement that included: “All ALPA pilots are trained and evaluated to the same uncompromising standard regardless of race, gender, or background. A pilot’s identity has no bearing on their ability to safely operate an aircraft. What matters is training, experience, and qualification — and on that front, there are no shortcuts and no compromises. “At ALPA, our work to advance aviation safety never stops, and as always, ALPA airline pilots remain ready to safely transport passengers and cargo to their destinations. Safety is, and always will be, our number one priority.” Portland International Jetport logs busiest year in its history The Portland International Jetport had a record year in 2025, with more than 2.59 million passengers traveling through the airport. The previous record was 2.44 million in 2024. The Jetport says it became the first airport in New England to surpass its pre-pandemic passenger levels in 2023. Southwest Airlines Turns a Corner as Activist Investor Elliott Walks Away Elliott Management, an activist investor, began to acquire shares of Southwest stock in mid-2024. It bought enough shares to gain board representation and dictate the Airline's strategic and financial changes. As a result, we saw paid assigned seating, baggage fees, expiring travel credits, and adjustments to its Rapid Rewards program. Southwest also looked at asset sales and balance sheet strategies to fund share buybacks. But in late 2025, Elliott began reducing its stake, and by early February 2026, its ownership dropped to about 9 percent. Two Elliott representatives have resigned from the board at Southwest. Southwest Airlines Now Faces a Flight Attendant Backlash As Hand Luggage Woes Grow Southwest moved a dedicated overhead bin for crew members to the back of the plane, and flight attendants are not happy. Passengers sitting at the front of the plane who have paid more or have elite status find that bin space is an issue.

The FDA's transition from the Quality System Regulation (QSR) to the new Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) marks the most significant update to 21 CFR Part 820 in nearly two decades. But for medical device manufacturers, this is more than just a regulatory rewrite—it is a shift toward global harmonization that requires immediate strategic action.In this episode of Life Science Solutions, host Chris Adkins sits down with David Dlugo, Senior Director of Quality at Kymanox, to unpack the practical realities of the QMSR rollout. With over 30 years of experience in quality systems and design controls, David explains why "being ISO 1345 certified" isn't a free pass for compliance and how to turn this regulatory hurdle into a long-term business advantage.Topics Include:The "Why" Behind QMSR: Understanding the FDA's push to harmonize with ISO 1345:2016 and what it means for global market access.Risk Management Evolution: Moving beyond product risk (ISO 14971) to apply risk-based decision-making across the entire quality system, from CAPAs to training.The Certification Myth: Why your existing ISO 1345 certificate won't stop the FDA from auditing your facility.Supplier Controls: How to update supplier files to be "living documents" that satisfy the new monitoring requirements.A 5-Step Implementation Roadmap: A proven strategy to assess gaps, remediate SOPs, and ensure your team is ready before the deadline.Whether you are a VP of Quality or a Regulatory Affairs specialist, this conversation offers a clear, science-forward path to navigating the new landscape of medtech compliance.
The FDA's new Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR), which replaces the 21 CFR Part 820 Quality System Regulation (QSR) and incorporates ISO 13485:2016 by reference, represents a significant harmonization effort in the medical device industry. While viewed by some as a mere streamlining, the change is mandatory, with an effective and fully enforceable date of February 2, 2026. The episode addresses industry complacency and details critical steps manufacturers must take immediately.The episode debunks the myth that familiar quality documents like the DHF, DMR, and DHR are being eliminated. While the specific terms are removed from the regulation's language, their substance is retained and mapped to new, ISO-aligned conceptual requirements: the Device Master Record (DMR) becomes the Medical Device File (MDF), the Design History File (DHF) becomes the Design and Development File (DDP), and the Device History Record (DHR) is captured in the Batch or Lot Record. The host emphasizes that internal documents can retain the old terminology, provided a clear regulatory mapping is established.Crucially, compliance requires more than just an ISO 13485 certificate. Two major philosophical shifts must be addressed: the explicit requirement for integrating lifecycle risk management as the DNA of the entire QMS, and the loss of the audit privilege, which makes internal audit reports, supplier audit reports, and management review records inspectable regulatory evidence. Furthermore, manufacturers must comply with retained, US-specific requirements under the QMSR's prevalence rule, especially concerning mandatory record content (§ 820.35) and specific labeling and packaging controls (§ 820.45).Key Timestamps[0:50] QMSR: The biggest shakeup to US quality requirements since 1996.[2:00] Effective Date: February 2, 2026—the clock is ticking.[2:42] The Goal: Harmonization with ISO 13485:2016 to reduce redundancy for global manufacturers.[3:50] Myth 1 Busted: The FDA is eliminating the DHF, DMR, and DHR (Documentation Dissolution).[5:10] Terminology Shift: DMR > Medical Device File (MDF, ISO 13485 Clause 4.2.3).[6:30] Terminology Shift: DHF > Design and Development File (DDP, ISO 13485 Clause 7.3.10).[7:40] Terminology Shift: DHR > Batch or Lot Record (ISO 13485 Clause 7.5.1).[8:40] The Practical Takeaway: Internal naming is fine, but regulatory mapping is mandatory.[10:30] Critical Shift 1: Risk Management is the DNA of the QMS—Explicitly required across all clauses.[13:00] Critical Shift 2: Loss of the Audit Privilege—Internal audit and management review records are now inspectable.[17:00] Critical Shift 3: Retained FDA Specifications (Prevalence Rule).
Dr. Yuan Li, Director of Medical Business at DQS and a former medical device auditor with deep expertise across orthopaedic manufacturing and regulatory systems.In this episode, we discuss the sweeping regulatory transition coming to the U.S. with the introduction of the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR), which formally aligns 21 CFR Part 820 with ISO 13485. Yuan unpacks what this shift means for U.S.-based manufacturers, why FDA is phasing out the QSR audit model and why contract manufacturers and software-based device firms are particularly vulnerable if they delay planning.We also explore the growing use of AI in QMS platforms, the pitfalls of template-driven compliance, and why “regulatory fatigue” is no excuse when patients' lives are at stake. From post-market surveillance strategies to paperless QMS migrations and the validation grey zone, Yuan offers pragmatic, deeply informed advice for those navigating FDA audits, ISO certification and international expansionTimestamps[00:02:36] Why QMSR is a Big Deal for U.S. Manufacturers[00:04:09] Key Differences Between 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485[00:05:09] Why Companies Wait Too Long to Comply[00:07:19] Impact on Contract Manufacturers and Supply Chains[00:08:36] Do You Really Need ISO 13485 Certification?[00:10:18] AI-Generated QMS Systems: Useful or Risky?[00:11:52] Most Memorable Audit Story: Iterative Design Gone Wrong[00:14:46] How to Spot Proactive vs Reactive Post-Market Surveillance[00:17:03] Why Software Companies Struggle with The Regulatory Mindset[00:20:57] What Validation Really Means Under ISO 13485Connect with Yuan - https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuan-li-phd-3bb14013/Learn more about DQS - https://www.dqsglobal.com/en/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ Follow Karandeep on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwalSubscribe to the Podcast
Doug Bain, founder and consulting partner of ClinFlo, discusses his proposed regulatory blueprint for digital trials in the latest episode of The Scope of Things podcast. With host Deborah Borfitz, Bain delves into his strategy for turning 21 CFR Part 11 into a more practical regulation that streamlines rather than bogs down clinical trials, what would qualify someone to take on the role as a trusted third party (and what makes them trustworthy), and the new FDA administration's modernization plan aligns—or squares—with his ideas. Plus, the latest news on a tool for detecting fraud and sampling bias in decentralized trials, technology for identifying potentially dangerous drugs before trials start, a novel women's health and menopause initiative, a regenerative therapy for spinal cord injury, and a new oral treatment for preventing dementia.

By early 2026, substance use disorder (SUD) providers, health plans, clinicians, health information exchanges (HIEs), and vendors must meet new federal privacy standards for SUD treatment records or face Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-level enforcement and penalties. On this episode, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Lisa Pierce Reisz, David Shillcutt, and Laura DePonio join Nichole Sweeney, General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer at CRISP, to break down the 42 CFR Part 2 final rule: what's changing, what's staying the same, and what organizations often miss. The group explains how the final rule aligns with (but does not replace) HIPAA, why patient consent remains central, and what new operational risks are emerging. Key Takeaways: Adoption of HIPAA Penalties: Part 2 now adopts HIPAA's enforcement and penalty structure. Operational Readiness Challenges: Operational readiness, not technology, is the biggest challenge. Expanded Compliance Duties: Payors and HIEs face major shifts in data access and compliance duties.

In this episode, host Etienne Nichols speaks with Greenlight Guru's Christine Wilbert, an expert in Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems for Clinical Research Organizations (CROs). They discuss the critical factors CROs must consider when selecting an EDC solution. Christine highlights that the biggest mistake is a lack of due diligence and not planning for future needs beyond a single study. She emphasizes the importance of looking for a solution that can scale with a company's growth, from pilot studies to pivotal trials, and warns against hidden costs and inadequate post-sales support.The conversation delves into what truly matters in an EDC platform, such as intuitive design, speed of implementation, and the ability to handle repeatable processes. Christine shares that while some vendors may offer "bells and whistles," the core value lies in a lean, efficient system tailored to medical device trials. They also touch on the importance of involving all stakeholders, including site users like clinicians and healthcare professionals, to ensure system adoption and maintain data integrity.Finally, the discussion explores how an EDC system can help CROs win more business. Christine explains that having a scalable, pre-validated solution and a vendor that actively supports business development can be a significant advantage. They also cover the essential compliance features for global trials, such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and ISO 14155, and the growing role of hybrid and decentralized trials. Christine's final advice to CROs is to "do your due diligence" and select a solution that's a true partner for long-term success.Key Timestamps00:02:39 - Biggest mistakes CROs make when choosing an EDC.00:03:00 - The importance of future planning and scalability.00:04:40 - The value of post-sales support and avoiding hidden fees.00:05:31 - Essential features versus "vendor noise" and unnecessary bells and whistles.00:08:11 - The analogy of a "battleship" vs. a "ninja" in problem-solving.00:09:13 - Identifying key stakeholders for successful EDC implementation.00:11:17 - Challenges and strategies for engaging healthcare professionals.00:13:31 - When to start looking for an EDC solution and the typical timeline.00:15:44 - The onboarding process and what successful companies do in the first few months.00:18:39 - How CROs can use an EDC solution to win more business.00:20:52 - Global compliance considerations (FDA, EU MDR) for EDC platforms.00:23:36 - Features CROs think they need but don't (e.g., QMS integration).00:26:03 - Adapting to hybrid and decentralized trials.00:27:22 - The key takeaway: do your due diligence and seek a true partner.Quotes"I would say the biggest issue is lack of due diligence... they're not necessarily thinking down the line, 'how is this going to scale with this specific company that they're working with?'""The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten."TakeawaysPrioritize Scalability and Long-Term Planning: Don't choose an EDC solution just for a single pilot study. Evaluate whether the platform can handle the complexity and size of pivotal and post-market studies to avoid costly transitions in the future.Look for True Partnership, Not Just a Vendor: A successful relationship with an EDC provider goes beyond the initial sale. Seek a vendor with strong post-sales support and a willingness to collaborate on...

Are you new to the medical device industry—or mentoring someone who is? In this foundational episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, host Etienne Nichols sits down with Sara Adams and Chris Rush from Greenlight Guru to deliver a MedTech 101 masterclass. They unpack the roles, regulations, and realities of medical device development in a heavily regulated space. From defining what actually counts as a medical device to navigating FDA classifications and global regulations, the trio offers practical insights, industry analogies, and personal war stories that make this episode as entertaining as it is educational. Whether you're in R&D, marketing, clinical, or quality, this is the episode to bookmark and share with every new hire.Key Timestamps02:20 – What counts as a medical device?

A PMA? That's a locked door and you need full approval to enter.” – Chris RushA memorable analogy that demystifies the difference between FDA clearance and approval pathways.Top TakeawaysLabeling + Intended Use = Regulatory TriggerWhether it's software or a simple tool, if your product makes medical claims or supports medical decision-making, it may fall under FDA or other international regulatory oversight.Regulatory Pathways Are Tied to Risk and NoveltyKnow the difference between a 510(k), De Novo, and PMA.

In October 2024, the latest changes to the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (also known as 2 CFR Part 200 or Uniform Guidance) went into effect. Many changes were beneficial to grantees. And while this was recorded before the new administration started making drastic changes in the federal funding landscape, the Uniform Guidance as it stands is in effect until updated again.

Series on "Mysteries & Medicine" by Fr. Isaiah, CFR (Part 4) Are you able to see the goodness of God? We are invited to trust and surrender that God is good and is always with us, to be rooted in the truth that God is Father, that He knows us, that He is good, and that He loves us. This is the fourth and last episode on the Mysteries & Medicine album which teaches us how we can call out to Him and ask for the grace to trust Him and to be reunited in our identity, but most importantly, first and foremost, His identity—a deeper dive into our life journey, our pilgrimage with the one who is always with us, loves us and knows us by name.

Series on "Mysteries & Medicine" by Fr. Isaiah, CFR (Part 3) Have you experienced being confined in self-centeredness? Sometimes we can have a pretty self-focused approach to our lives where it's all about what we need or what we want. But the invitation for us in this Exodus is to always move towards someone else, towards relationship, towards God—to be totally out of ourselves and make a self-gift back to God and to other people. This episode is the third part of our series on Fr. Isaiah's Mysteries & Medicine which talks about the nature of our desires and how we can transform them from being self-centered to being outer-centered.

Series on "Mysteries & Medicine" by Fr. Isaiah, CFR (Part 2) What do you desire and how do you respond to it? One reality of our humanity is that we can forever be dissatisfied and expect a different answer to our desires. But we are invited to let this desire, this hunger, become a pathway that brings the Lord closer to us, to offer Him the desire and just to be with Him in it. This episode is the second part of our series on Fr. Isaiah's Mysteries & Medicine which talks about our desires—the holy, the unmet, and the sinful desires and how we should respond to them.

Series on "Mysteries & Medicine" by Fr. Isaiah, CFR (Part 1) Would you agree that life is a journey or a pilgrimage? The journey to say yes to what God wants for our life, it's not just this thing that happens like a contract and we say, "Yes,", it's a journey. The holiness, the sanctification, the healing, it takes time. The pilgrimage of life is tough, blindness, poverty and suffering are often a part of it, but Jesus is with us in this pilgrimage and he desires to not just walk along with us but to be the way that we walk to the Father's heart. This episode is the first part of our series on Fr. Isaiah's Mysteries & Medicine, which talks about life as a pilgrimage, the experience of mystery, and the response of Jesus to this experience.

Series on "The Father" by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 11) As a shepherd, what are you willing to lay down for your sheep? For shepherds nowadays, and even in the times of the Apostle, the sheep are for the shepherd's sake, they serve him. It's not like vice versa, sheep are the product and we get them to pasture so they can grow, so we can slaughter them. But this wasn't the case for Jesus, He said that "I am the good shepherd "and I lay down my life for my sheep." Jesus loves us this way. He wants to be so close and hold us so intimately and he doesn't want us to be lost. He doesn't want us to be far away, but he wants to feed, protect, clothe, and hold us. In this episode, as we bring our series on the book The Father to a close, we will be reflecting upon Jesus as the Good Shepherd and what this reveals to us of the heart of God as we talk about a story of a Father who freely lays down his life to save his son, and in doing so, loses his own life.

Series on "The Father" by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 8) What's your initial response to difficulty? Difficulty and suffering is something that's part of the world we live in and to move forward with the Lord we have to live in this reality, even though it's hard. God is with us in it! One of the things a father also has to do is to teach their children and equip their children to do hard things. God the Father equips us and prepares us for what we need to have fulfillment and happiness in salvation, which includes learning how to carry and share in the suffering on the cross. In this episode, we'll talk about how to persevere in doing hard things for an extended period of time and how to stay steady with the Lord amidst the difficulty.

Series on "The Father" by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 7) What's the role that rules and laws play? Rules create boundaries and usually define the best way to do things. However, following rules can also NOT lead to freedom, this is why we need to learn to find the right balance in following the rules. In this episode, we will talk about the spirituality of laws and rules and how we can find balance to be safe, secure, and free in following them. We are also invited to look at some of these rules that we have established, these etiquettes or cultures that we've put on ourselves, our neighbors, or our pastors. Let's do some discernment of whether or not these are from God or not. And to also, go deeper and see what's at the heart of why we do that and ultimately, bring that to the Lord.

Series on "The Father" by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 6) What does it mean to be safe? Safety is not the absence of suffering, it's not like we're not going to struggle with anything but it's the recognition that when we are vulnerable, we don't have to escape it, because someone wants to be with us and provide for us and that is our Lord, Jesus Christ. This is the safety that we are proposing. In this episode, we're focusing on the necessity of having sufficient resources and true expectations as we unpack what it really means to be truly safe.

Series on "The Father" by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 3) Can you imagine how you would gaze upon your newborn baby for the first time? This is the way the Father loves everyone. He's constantly looking at us and is constantly delighting in us. The Father always looks at us with the same delight, love, and rejoicing as a father looks at his newborn for the first time. This is how our Heavenly Father looks at us, delights in us, rejoices in us and contemplates us right now. When we feel things that we feel far away, or we think we feel that there's such darkness or separation or walls, it's an illusion, it's not true. We are always gazed upon with love and intimacy. In this episode, we're discussing the intimacy the Father wants to invite us into.

The Poco a Poco Podcast with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal
Series on "The Father" by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 2) Do you know how much your heavenly Father delights in you? The part of the heart of the Father is to care for his children in whatever shape or form that would take. It might feel a lot or even tiresome but because of the uncalculated love of the father, the time when he gets to take care of and be with his children in this special way can be the best part of the father's day. In his children's poverty, in this exchange, and despite the challenges, there are still many things about them that allow the father's heart to well up with delight. The inabilities and imperfections that we have, delight the Father because they are occasions of intimacy and closeness to Him. This is the purity of the delight we're talking about in today's episode. This is a reminder that God delights in all of us even more as an earthly father delights in his earthly children. The heavenly Father is not burdened by you, be He profoundly delights in caring for you.

On this episode, I was joined by Peter Baker, President @ Live Oak QA. The conversation revolves around the speaker's experience working with the FDA, starting from his time in San Francisco and culminating in his experiences in international locations like India and China. The discussion outlines the FDA's diverse focus areas, from food to medical devices and clinical trials, and how operational changes in the mid-2010s streamlined FDA's specialized areas. The speaker discusses his inspection methods and how a focus on critical thinking rather than procedural controls leads to more substantial findings, particularly in data integrity within quality control labs across industries. He emphasizes the need for quality-driven, honest investigations in addressing deviations and believes a switch from a compliance-focused mindset to a quality-oriented one should be the future standard. 00:00 Early Career and Diverse Experiences 00:43 Understanding FDA Regulations and Import Work 02:28 Moving Overseas and Program Realignment 07:44 Challenges with Data Integrity 10:33 Understanding the Root Cause of Data Integrity Issues 10:54 The Role of Data Governance and Regulatory Guidance 22:24 Challenges of Field Inspections 24:07 Manipulation of Product Quality 25:26 Jurisdiction and Quality Systems 27:53 Lab Controls and Data Integrity 36:04 Addressing Unknown Discrepancies 39:34 The Importance of Honest Reporting Peter E.

"See and Avoid" is widely recognized as a method for avoiding collision. This accident shows that approach has limits. The term "See and Avoid" is part of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Regulation 14 CFR Part 91.113 (b), calling for pilots to actively search for potentially conflicting traffic. John and Todd discuss a 2014 accident where two planes crashed because they were not able to see one another in time. The accident involved a Cessna 172 and a Searey homebuilt participating in a Experimental Aircraft Association Young Eagles program. The Cessna was overtaking the Searey as it descended and the two collided. Two people in the Searey were able to land. The Cessna crashed and the passenger and student onboard died. The NTSB probable cause cited failure to “see and avoid.” The Flight Safety Detectives explore the importance and limitations of relying on being able to see everything from the cockpit. They discuss how better preplanning by the two pilots involved could have avoided the collision.
