From Paper to Practice: How Weak Procedures Nearly Caused a CFIT
A missed altimeter setting nearly led to a Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) incident on a Widerøe DHC-8, exposing how weak procedures, high workload, and compliance gaps can undermine aviation safety. This case study shows how CRM breakdowns, ineffective checklists, and technical limitations create systemic risk—and why robust procedures, EASA compliance, and practical safety barriers are essential to turn written rules into real-world protection.
New Aircraft, No Liability: CJEU Labels Design Fault ‘Extraordinary Circumstance’
A landmark ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union clarifies that a design fault in a newly introduced aircraft can qualify as an “extraordinary circumstance” under Regulation EC261/2004, relieving airlines from compensation liability. This article explains how key CJEU judgments shape passenger compensation rights, where the limits of airline responsibility lie, and why understanding these cases is essential for airlines, legal professionals, and passengers navigating EU air passenger rights.
