Flight Safety Detectives Episode 50: Piper Wing Spar Corrosion Examined

12/24/2020

0 Comments

 
Guest Jason Lukasik, president of JL2 Aviation Consultants and former FAA inspector, walks John and Greg through the recent Airworthiness Directive related to PA 28 Series planes. Jason shares his firsthand experience encountering dramatic corrosion on Piper wing spars.

It started with a report of a loose wing on a Piper PA 28 R-200. What Jason found was significant corrosion in the wing and on the airframe that could have led to catastrophic failure.

John and Greg walk through the AD and the related Safety Bulletins. They discuss the inspection procedure, remediation options and the implications for flight safety.

Aircraft owners who ignore the AD and Safety Bulletins do so at their own peril. Mechanics need to understand the issues that have been identified and conduct thorough inspections to ensure the planes they work on are airworthy.

Flight Safety Detectives Episode 48: Drugs Impact Aviation Safety & WTF Segment Begins

12/9/2020

0 Comments

 
John and Greg kick off this episode with a new segment – WTF. They talk about several recent accident reports that identify unbelievable neglect of basic safety procedures.

“Stupid or not stupid, all these accidents take a toll on investigators and the people left behind,” John comments. The detectives plan future WTF segments to highlight the things that can and will happen when safety procedures are ignored.

This episode also covers the increasing prevalence of prescription and non-prescription drug use in all areas of aviation. A recent NTSB study of toxicology reports from fatal accidents reveals growing incidences of drug use.

Greg advocates for all pilots to make use of the “I’m Safe” and “Are You Fit to Fly” profile tools offered by the FAA.
