Podcasts about Civil aviation

Todos hemos tomado en alguna ocasión un avión, algunos lo hacen incluso varias veces al mes. En nuestro mundo más de 12 millones de personas vuelan diariamente en alguno de los 100.000 vuelos comerciales que cada día del año las aerolíneas programan de forma regular. Volar nos parece de lo más normal, pero es algo relativamente reciente. Los seres humanos no consiguieron despegarse del suelo hasta finales del siglo XVIII, primero en globos como el de los hermanos Montgolfier en 1783, luego en dirigibles y más tarde, ya en el siglo XX, en aeroplanos de ala fija más pesadas que el aire. Este último invento se lo debemos a los hermanos Wright, que en 1903 hicieron el primer vuelo en una playa de Carolina del Norte. A partir de ahí el aeroplano fue mejorando paulatinamente y durante décadas convivió con los dirigibles, que tuvieron una vida larga en países como Alemania. La primera aerolínea de la historia voló, de hecho, dirigibles, no aviones y lo hizo tan pronto como en 1909. Pero los dirigibles eran lentos, voluminosos y su operación implicaba riesgos, de modo que los aviones pronto tomaron la delantera. La primera guerra mundial propulsó la innovación y la producción de aeronaves de combate que, una vez firmada la paz, siguieron su desarrollo, pero ya como aviones comerciales. Fue entonces, en 1919, cuando el convenio de París reguló la aviación civil y nacieron las primeras aerolíneas, algunas de las cuales siguen existiendo un siglo después como la holandesa KLM, la australiana Qantas, la alemana Lufthansa o la española Iberia. Los años 20 y 30 fueron un periodo dorado que sirvió de antesala a la segunda guerra mundial, en la que la aviación tuvo un papel mucho más importante que en la anterior. Los aviones eran potentes, rápidos y ya de gran tamaño. La innovación no se detuvo, fue en esta época cuando aparecieron los primeros aparatos presurizados, los motores a reacción y brillaron los grandes hidroaviones. Antes de terminar el conflicto la convención de Chicago estableció normas para todos y creo la OACI, siglas de Organización de Aviación Civil Internacional. La posguerra asistió al surgimiento de grandes cuatrimotores para pasajeros como el Lockheed Super Constellation y el Douglas DC-7, que desplazaron definitivamente a los hidroaviones. Sería en 1952 en el Reino Unido donde se presentase el primer jet comercial, el De Havilland Comet, que tuvo una vida corta y accidentada. Le sucedería el Boeing 707 en 1958, un avión que revolucionó la aviación comercial gracias a su diseño, capacidad y, especialmente, su velocidad ya que podía mantener cruceros de más de 900 kilómetros por hora. Los años 60 y 70 trajeron la competición supersónica entre el Concorde franco-británico y el Tupolev 144 soviético. El segundo no pasó de unos pocos vuelos, el primero tuvo una vida de casi tres décadas, pero sus costes de operación eran demasiado elevados. En paralelo, los ingenieros de Boeing desarrollaron el 747, también conocido como Jumbo por sus descomunales dimensiones, el primer avión de fuselaje ancho de la historia. McDonnell Douglas respondió con un trimotor, el DC-10, y los europeos de Airbus con el A-300, el primer avión bimotor de fuselaje ancho, algo muy bien recibido por las aerolíneas tras la crisis del petróleo. La desregulación aérea en EEUU y los cielos abiertos en Europa transformaron el mercado, permitiendo a cientos de millones de personas volar de forma rutinaria gracias a la aparición de compañías de bajo coste como Southwest y Ryanair. La normativa ETOPS permitió a los bimotores operar rutas transoceánicas, sacando del mercado a los cuatrimotores. Alianzas como Star Alliance o One World optimizaron recursos, mientras que aviones como el Boeing 787 Dreamliner o el Airbus A350 introdujeron materiales compuestos para mejorar la eficiencia. La industria aérea nunca ha dejado de innovar y lo sigue haciendo. Se investiga activamente en aviones de propulsión eléctrica y nuevos modelos supersónicos que sean económicamente viables. Para hablar de una historia tan presente tenemos hoy en La ContraHistoria a Iker Muro, piloto comercial, contraescucha y, sobre todo, un amante de la aviación.

One airspace for all - military, civil aviation, and drones!  Our CEO, Eszter Kovacs, recently visited Ticino Innovation Park, and Swiss Drone Competence Center where ⁠#military⁠, civil ⁠#aviation⁠, and ⁠#drones⁠ coexist and are tested in a singular, shared ⁠#airspace⁠ - a groundbreaking achievement in ⁠#aviation⁠.  Through interviews with key figures, Eszter explored why companies choose this location for their testing: it's not just the advanced technology, but also the collaborative environment and the precision-driven support from universities like ETH Zurich and USI. This shared airspace represents a unique opportunity for testing in real-world conditions, where different sectors can coexist and push the boundaries of UAV technology. The park stands out not just for its cutting-edge technology but for fostering true cross-industry collaboration, all within Switzerland's renowned framework of ⁠#quality⁠ and ⁠#safety⁠ standards.

The sequential drop-in bottom-line performance is attributed to the high base effect of 2Q24, which was significantly impacted by investment income and other income, accounting for 61.4% of total income for that quarter. On 9M basis, net profit recorded EGP1,154 million (-17.8% YoY) with NPM of 50% (+24.5pps YoY).

Join us for Part 2 of our series on Boeing's Fortresses, the remarkable B-29 Superfortress! Ordered from Boeing's drawing board and costing $3b in 1940s money, the delivery system for the atomic bomb cost even more than the weapon itself. But that is only part of the remarkable tale Ben Skipper has to share with us.

What's the Government's obsession with speeding things up? Today, it's the queues at airport security that it wants to go faster - with Transport Minister Simeon Brown looking at bringing-in private operators to run airport security instead of the Civil Aviation Authority. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't get through security on time and miss your flight, it's your own fault. And I do not like the idea of private security outfits taking over. Instead, I think the Government should be focused on getting the Civil Aviation Authority to lift its game. Now this is done in some airports around the world. I've been reading about a scheme in the States. It's also done in Australia, where private operators pretty much run all aviation security services. And Simeon Brown wants to find out if we should do the same thing here. But I don't think the US and Australia are the best countries for us to mimic on this one because both countries have different standards on a lot of things because they are divided into states. With each state having their own rules and regs. We don't, which is why I think we need to stick with a standard operation right through the country, run by a single government agency. I went through San Francisco on my way to the UK back in May this year, and I see security services there are run by an outfit called Covenant Aviation Security. But I didn't have any choice, and it doesn't mean I have to like it. My main concerns about private operators taking over here is the risk of inconsistency in training, inconsistency in approach, and the variable quality control. I don't like the fact that private operators don't have the same access to the type of intel that gets shared between government agencies and not with private organisations and businesses. Nor should they, in my view. I like knowing that airport security is all part of the big government machine that kicks into gear when things hit the fan. For example - in times of emergency. I know that private businesses and organisations are critical and also do great things in times of strife, but it's not the same as a public agency, like the Civil Aviation Authority. One of the unions that represents aviation security workers doesn't like what the Government is proposing, either. And, before you get too excited, yes I can see through some of what it's saying. Especially, its concern that what the Government is proposing could mean job losses for the people involved. So, of course, a union is going to oppose anything where that's possible. But I'm with the National Union of Public Employees (or NUPE) when it says that privatising aviation security would be risky because the pay and conditions offered by private security firms would likely be inferior to what the Civil Aviation provides its workers. And so, you'd get less experienced people running security at the airports and there'd probably be higher staff turnover. And I'm with the union when it says that allowing the airports to hire their own private aviation providers would lead to inconsistency across the country. Because it would allow airports to cut costs and set their own standards. At the moment, the same rules and standards apply everywhere because the same outfit does it, and that's how I think it should stay. I'm at odds, though, with someone who knows a lot more about this than me. But I'm basing my position on my gut instinct. Captain David Morgan is Air New Zealand's chief pilot and operational integrity and safety officer - and he's backing what the Government is looking at doing. He's saying today: “We are not necessarily interested in delivering aviation security, but we are interested in the enablement of alternative providers for aviation security in New Zealand." He says third-party aviation security providers are quite common everywhere else. But even though Air New Zealand's top pilot is telling me that I've got nothing to worry about if the Government does go-ahead with this, I still don't like it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Indian High Commissioner to Canada Sanjay Kumar Verma said, quote, “Indians will decide the fate of India, not the foreigners."Unquote. Verma told the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations, a prominent think-tank that relations between India and Canada are positive overall despite “a lot of noise”.Washington had halted a shipment of powerful bombs that Israel could have potentially used in a full-scale assault on Rafah. A senior U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Washington had carefully reviewed the delivery of weapons that might be used in Rafah, and as a result paused a shipment consisting of 1,800 2,000-lb bombs and 1,700 500-lb bombs. This would be the first such delay since the Biden administration offered its "ironclad" support to Israel after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack. The White House and Pentagon declined to comment.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.

China's Spring Festival travel numbers are expected to hit another peak on Thursday.

In the past few weeks, there has been a surge of complaints from passengers about Digiyatra. Their main complaint is about security personnel and airport staff collecting their biometrics for the app, using coercion and deception. According to travellers, CISF personnel at the entry gates were asking them to scan their boarding pass and capturing their photos, and then enrolling them in the Digi Yatra app without even informing them. The element of coercion is especially startling as the Ministry of Civil Aviation, when it unveiled the Digi Yaytra policy in 2018, had made it clear that it would be entirely voluntary. Digital rights experts have highlighted several other concerns about the Digi Yatra app, related to privacy, surveillance, exclusion, lack of transparency and accountability, and violation of the passenger's dignity and autonomy. The Ministry, on its part, has said that the only objective of the Digi Yatra's biometrics-enabled, digital processing of passengers is to usher in “paper-less and seamless movement through various checkpoints” at airports. Is the Digi Yatra app safe? Is it reliable? How do airports in other countries process passengers? And is Digi Yatra really worth it or should it be withdrawn?

After service in World War I, Capt Allan moved to the other side of the world and joined the fledgling Australian National Airways. He retells stories of his time with the airline, including his experiences of flying Avro 10s between Australian cities, and shares his opinions of the company's two guiding lights: Charles Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm. Allan went onto play a part in many of the key events in spreading civil aviation across the southern hemisphere, including pioneering airmail flights between London and Australia, starting with flying with Kingsford Smith on the first experimental air mail flight in 1931 and playing a part in a record-breaking trip between the two continents in his de Havilland DH.86 during 1933. He also discusses training to operate flying boats for Qantas, before giving a view of why Qantas decided to fly American rather than British aircraft after the Second World War. Captain G. U. Allan was interviewed by David Jones in around 1975. This recording is part a AeroSociety Podcast series, Development of Civil Aviation from the UK to Australasia.

This podcast was recorded on 18th October in Dakar, Senegal, where I was attending the ACI Africa Annual General Assembly.  Senegal is also the home base of the African Civil Aviation Commission or AFCAC who have been very visible and busy sensitising stakeholders in terms of the benefits of the single African air transport market. In June at AviaDev, AFCAC and AviaDev signed an MoU to support each other in the fields of communication and route development.  In this episode, Adefunke Adeyemi, Secretary General, AFCAC and I discuss: Status update. What is the current state of progress? How do you respond to airline CEOs who don't necessarily support SAATM? Have there been new intra-African routes launched that may not have happened before SAATM? Have AFCAC been successful in solving market access disputes? Are AFCAC lobbying for visa reform?

After training with the RAF just after the First World War and service in India, Capt Mollard made his way to Imperial Airways, and tells us about life at Croydon Airport and the London to Paris route. In 1929 Mollard was transferred to Cairo and, as Imperial flew further towards Australia, so did he. Here he co-piloted Captain Alger in the hair-raising first experimental mail flight to Australia in 1931 and delivered one of the first Armstrong-Whitworth Atalantas that would serve on the soon to be opened Calcutta to Singapore route. The Second World War saw him continue to work for Imperial Airways, including surviving flights to Mauritius. In 1947 he became Malaysian Airways' technical advisor. He started in the airline's early days, when it flew only three aircraft and stayed long enough to help build it up into ‘a little goldmine'. Captain Mollard was interviewed by David Jones in around 1975.

We're joined by distinguished guest Brent Christensen to discuss the basics of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Why is ICAO one of the most important organizations you've never heard of? What is America's role in the ICAO? Does ICAO work with preflight safety? What kind of powers does ICAO have? What was ICAO's role in Malaysia Airlines Flight 370? Does ICAO work directly with businesses or just national governments? What current issues is ICAO working on? How long until civil aviation is carbon neutral? Did Brent get to meet his predecessor Captain Chesley "Sully Sullenberger, or his currently-nominated successor Charlie Crist?

Captain Egglesfield commanded some of the earliest commercial flights over India and the Far East including the first scheduled service from Karachi to Calcutta in July 1933 in an Armstrong Whitworth AW.15 Atalanta, the first scheduled Karachi to Rangoon service, and the second survey flights on flying boats between Karachi and Singapore. In this interview he tells us about these pioneering flights, the aircraft he flew, the challenges he faced and gives us a flavour of what life was like flying the route. Captain L. A. Egglesfield was interviewed by David Jones on 11 June 1975.

Noah Lieberman was excited by flight from his first experience flying on a DC3 around Mexico as an 8 year old. Affectionately known as the Gooney Bird, the DC3 has found a warm spot in a lot of our hearts. Noah was keen to become an aerospace engineer. He also wanted to learn how to fly. Shortly after beginning his pilot training as a teenager, he ran out of funds. He later went to university and continued his career in the tech industry, repairing hardware and later delved into software development. He cemented his belief in customer service while working in tech support, which was evident while running Coradine. If you have ever found the need to reach out to Coradine, you will understand what I'm talking about. With a young family, he needed to make a strategic decisions to chase his dream of working in aerospace. Moving across the country and a new adventure began working, building websites for an Internet Service Provider. After several frantic years in the burgeoning website industry, Noah decided to make a big decision to get back to his dream of flight.Noah continued his path to become a pilot. He was surprised by the amount of paperwork required to keep track of the flying details. Having been an Apple fan for several years, he decided to make his own database for his flying training. He was sure that other Mac users would be interested, so he posted it on a shareware service and quickly pilots from all over the world began adopting his “personal logbook”.Pilots began to ask for specifics to their own needs and different logbook requirements for Civil Aviation organisations all around the globe. The launched on day one of the Apple App Store, being one of two aviation apps. This coincided with AirVenture Oshkosh, with hundreds of pilots arriving at his small booth announcing the launch of LogTen, by Coradine.15 years and more than 150 000 customers later, LogTen has become the most successful logbook program for professional pilots.I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Questions are being asked about whether airline pilots are properly protected and supported. Particularly whether they feel comfortable reporting mental health issues.The recently passed Civil Aviation Act repeals and replaces its thirty-plus year old predecessor, and the much older Airport Authorities Act (passed in 1966). The Act enables the Civil Aviation Authority to regulate, support and improve levels of safety and security throughout the sector. But parts of the aviation community say it has missed an opportunity, by leaving crew without independent support and leaving airlines with the responsibility for instigating pilot support programmes. John Nicholson is the chief executive of industry group Aviation New Zealand. He thinks the new Aviation Act was a once in a life time opportunity to get things right for crew, but hasn't gone far enough. He speaks with Kathryn Ryan along with international Air New Zealand 777 pilot and Medical and Welfare Officer for the New Zealand Air Line Pilots' Association Dave Church, who is speaking out against the new law for not adequately protecting vulnerable pilots experiencing mental health problems.

Though flying the early civil aircraft could be a challenge, so could maintaining the aircraft along the desert air route. Capt. Garner explores the challenges supporting aircraft as a ground engineer in North Africa, first for the Royal Air Force and then as part of Imperial Airway's Ground engineering staff. Not only did he have a number of adventures with the airline's aircraft, he also helped to support some of the civil record breakers, including Charles Kingsford Smith in the Southern Cross and Bert Hinkler during his first flight from London to Australia. Garner moved from ground engineering to flight engineering, and it is from the flight engineer's seat that he played a memorable role in the experimental air mail flight from Karachi to Darwin in 1931. Garner's career continued into the period where landplanes gave way to flying boats and he retells stories of some of the first flying boats to enter service. Captain W. L. Garner was interviewed by David Jones on 13 June 1975. This recording is part of the series Development of Civil Aviation from the UK to Australasia.

Captain Brain was one of Qantas' first pilots, taking the airline from converted World War I bombers to Catalinas in World War II. In the interview, Brain explains what life was like in the early days flying over the Outback, including the early days of the flying doctor service and searching for crashed aircraft. He looks at the impact of the brave adventurers such as Alan Cobham and Bert Hinkler and the real pioneers, the men and women who made civil aviation sustainable in Australia. He also looks at some of the aircraft he introduced into service, such as the de Havilland DH.86 Express and the Catalina Flying Boats, the latter of which entered service during the Second World War.

The island of Tasmania can be found south of Australia seperated by a 240 kilometer stretch of water called the Bass Strait. We know Australia has many soaring clubs throughout the country and we have spoke to some of those pilots here on the podcast but I was curious if Tasmania had any active soaring clubs? We found one, in fact its the only one on the island and their we found our new friend and fellow aviator Robert Kennedy. Robert got the aviation bug from His Father who was a World War II Pilot. As a young boy he enjoyed flying RC aircraft but later he discovered sailplanes. Robert has been soaring for nearly 50 years. He Started his gliding training flying the K-13 then the Libelle. He said he also did lots of towing because tow pilots fly for free.  Robert has has enjoyed many differnt typs of aviation jobs throughout his life and spent 10 years of it as an Air Traffic controller, working in the morning allowed for flying time in the afternoon. He spent some of his time as a Civil Aviation inspector, ran a helicopter school and has flown everything from light sport aircraft, war birds, 737's and so much more. Robert has so many stories to share with us.  We will also get into saftey with him so we all can learn from his experiences and be better and safer pilots.

Friend of the show, and very long time listener (since episode 1!), Hakan Yılmaz, aka @LAFlyr on Twitter, grew up wanting to go early at the airport to see the planes, and collect avgeek paraphernalia, and never stopped being a kid, by still going early to the airport to see the planes, and a career that led him to American Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Atlas, etc., with millions of miles under his belt, and tons of stories to share — from the admirable rise of Turkish Airlines (fascinating SAS story on the invention of the hub and spoke model), to the celebrity stories at Virgin (do you carry money when traveling but nothing else? Or lots of LV luggage instead? Reach out to us!), from over-complicating airline operations (which airline is it, do you reckon?) to the uncomplicated life as loyalty programs free agents (the three of us are becoming so, though it's a mental fight to let go), we geek out and rant and laugh, we get the in and outs of LAX (that's Hakan's pun), and thank you all for still listening to us in 2023.Follow Hakan on Twitter: @LAFlyr

Russia has been voted off the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organization. It's seen partly as retaliation for bombing airports in Ukraine and violating other international aviation agreements. Earlier this year, Vladimir Putin signed a law allowing Russian companies to repossess planes leased from international companies - effective stealing $10 billion of airplanes. Former Aviation New Zealand chief executive Irene King spoke to Susie Ferguson.

1:40 - Richard's one big thing is the Kingdom's newly announced national aspirations and priorities for the research, development and innovation sector to enhance the kingdom's competitiveness and add 60 billion riyals ($16bn) to its gross domestic product by 2040. Dr. Munir El Desouki, president of King Abdul Aziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) in Riyadh, sat down with The National to explain what these plans for the RDI sector entail. The hosts discuss the importance and impact of this new plan to consolidate the Kingdom's aspirations into one cohesive plan with big investment. 8:47 - Lucien's one big thing this week is THE LINE, a futuristic, almost unbelievable concept from Saudi Arabia. It's essentially a huge city, which is only one building, that is 109 miles long in the shape of a single mirrored line cutting through the Saudi desert in NEOM. THE LINE will ultimately house 9 million people, will be 200-meters wide (656 feet), and is designed to sit 500 meters (1,640 feet) above sea level. THE LINE in NEOM will span 34 square kilometers (13 square miles). The Line will run entirely on renewable energy, with no roads, cars or emissions. High-speed rail will connect sections of The Line. Lucien and Richard react to the announcement and the ambition of the concept.23:23 - The 966 talks with Eyad Albayouk from the VC firm Flat6Labs KSA. Eyad chats with us about Saudi Arabia's growing startup ecosystem and entrepreneurship in the Kingdom, and the state of Saudi VC in 2022 as the Kingdom ramps up Vision 2030 execution.1:15:00 - Yallah! 6 Top Storylines in Saudi Arabia this week to get you up to date ahead of the weekend.1) Will Lucid Motors' Saudi Arabian Connection Help Win Them A Big Aston Martin Partnership?According to a post on Medium: "Inside Evs Ben O'Hare reports that Aston Martin, a century-old British luxury car maker, may be looking to go electric to combat against flagging sales. The company is in somewhat dire straits, holding around $1 billion in debt and finishing off 2021 with a deficit of nearly $91 million for the year. Despite their recent struggles, Aston Martin revealed last year that they hope to have their first EV available sometime in 2025. To help facilitate this, they are said to be weighing other manufacturer platforms to help expedite their journey to a finished product. Lucid Motors, Mercedes Benz and Rimrac are believed to be favorites."2 Saudi Arabia Concludes its Participation at Farnborough International AirshowSaudi Arabia concluded its participation at Farnborough International Airshow (FIA 2022), according a report in Asharq Alawsat. The five-day show was held in the United Kingdom, and witnessed wide-scale participation from across the globe. Under the national “Invest Saudi”, the Saudi Pavilion was organized and led by the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI). It comprised GAMI, the Saudi Ministry of Investment, the World Defense Show (WDS), and the Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI). Ahmad Al-Ohali, GAMI Governor, said the core message to global stakeholders was it has never been easier to localize business.  Also announced was that the Saudi defense sector localization rate grew from 2% in 2018 to 11.7% in 2021.3) Saudi Arabia Plans Air-Cargo Roadshows to Lure Amazon, DHLSaudi Arabia plans to stage a number of roadshows in the next 12 to 18 months as it seeks to persuade the likes of Amazon.com Inc., Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Deutsche Post AG's DHL to help scale up air-cargo and distribution operations, Bloomberg reports. The Mideast country will invite private companies to establish partnerships and set up freight-forwarding and warehousing activities, said Mohammed Fahad Alkhuraisi, vice president for strategy at the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation.4) YouTube removes offensive ads upon request by Saudi Arabia regulatorsYouTube removed certain offensive advertisements which were described as inconsistent with Islamic and Saudi societal standards upon the request of media regulators in Saudi Arabia, Arabic news media Bloomberg Asharq reported on Monday, citing a YouTube spokesperson.
