Issued: 15-APR-2015 | To: Flight crews | EASA Safety Information Bulletin 2015-7 |
Flight crews are be reminded of some basic flight physics principles to better manage the aeroplane speed (Mach number) when flying at high altitudes (above FL300) to prevent entry into upset situations such as stall. |
Issued: 27-AUG-2015 | To: MD-80 | AD No.: 2015-0179 |
Additional procedure to be instered in AFM for cases of Unreliable EPR Indications |
Issued: 22-APR-2016 | To: FAA | Recommandation MLI-2016-001 |
the FAA ask the manufacturer to study the feasibility of installing of a permanent anti-icing system for the PT2 sensors, independent of any activation by the crew of existing anti-icing systems for the engines or the airframe. |
Issued: 22-APR-2016 | To: FAA | Recommandation MLI-2016-002 |
pending the introduction of such a system, the FAA require that the manufacturer\'s FCOM procedures related to "Engine Anti-Ice on Ground and in Flight" mention the difficulties of ice crystals detection in particular at night and define clearly the associated criteria for the anti-icing systems activation. This may require the systematic activation of these systems in flight as soon as the total temperature is below 6°C, without taking into account the criteria of visible humidity or signs of ice accretion on the windshield wipers. |
Issued: 22-APR-2016 | To: FAA | Recommandation MLI-2016-003 |
the FAA require that the manufacturer integrate into the documentation provided to operators the specific features of a stall in cruise on MD 80 type aeroplanes, linked to the late appearance of buffet, of the stick shaker and of the stall warning and with the non-automatic disengagement of the autopilot after the stall warning. |
Issued: 22-APR-2016 | To: FAA;EASA | Recommandation MLI-2016-004/5 |
the FAA and EASA require that these specific features of MD 80 type aeroplanes be taught during type rating and recurrent crew training. |
Issued: 22-APR-2016 | To: FAA | Recommandation MLI-2016-006 |
the FAA ensure that the data made available by the manufacturer Boeing for the design of MD80 simulators be representative as regards the triggering of approach to stall warnings and the non-disengagement of the autopilot after the stall, at low altitude and at cruise level. |
Issued: 22-APR-2016 | To: FAA;EASA | Recommandation MLI-2016-007/8 |
the FAA and EASA ensure the simulators used for training MD80 crews be representative of the triggering of approach to stall warnings, and the nondisengagement of the autopilot after the stall, at low altitude and at cruise level. |
Issued: 22-APR-2016 | To: FAA | Recommandation MLI-2016-009 |
the FAA require that the manufacturer Boeing studies the feasibility of a modification of the autopilot\'s engagement logic to allow automatic disengagement when the approach to stall is detected by the MD80 systems. |
Issued: 22-APR-2016 | To: FAA | Recommandation MLI-2016-010 |
the FAA ensure that the maintenance check procedure for CVRs on MD80 type aeroplanes is modified by the manufacturer in order to ensure that all of the recording tracks are tested, including the CAM track. |
Issued: 22-APR-2016 | To: FAA;EASA | Recommandation MLI-2016-011/2 |
the FAA and EASA ensure that this modification is implemented by the operators concerned. |
Issued: 22-APR-2016 | To: authorities | Recommandation MLI-2016-013/14/15 |
the national authorities of Niger, Burkina-Faso and Mali put in place coordination plans and ensure that their effectiveness is validated by regular exercises. |
