Investigators probing a Swiss Airbus A220 low-thrust incident during departure at Porto found that the pilots only belatedly realised that the autothrottle had not engaged before the take-off roll.

Swiss investigation authority SUST found the A220-300, bound for Geneva, had conducted a de-rated rolling take-off from intersection C of runway 35, with its autothrottle armed.

But when the captain advanced the thrust levers, he only pushed them to a lever angle of 20.6°, less than the 23° required to engage the autothrottle.

The pilots were distracted by an unexpected discontinuity in the flightplan after entering the standard departure route into the flight-management system, and the captain asked the first officer to...

United Airlines Just Made a Disturbing Admission About Social Distancing on Airplanes

July 8, 2020 - by Jason Aten for inc.com

United Airlines has all but admitted that blocking the middle seat on flights is mostly "theater" designed to make people feel safer, without any actual benefit. In an interview on CNN, Josh Earnest, who is United's chief communications officer, said that "keeping the seat next to you open is not going to make a material difference."

United has said it will continue to sell middle seats while limiting the overall number of passengers on flights. It has also said it plans to be back to full capacity by the end of July.

Last week, American Airlines announced it would start booking flights to full capacity effective July 1, leaving only Delta and...

July 6, 2020 - by Chris Loh for simpleflying.com

Right now, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) is in the middle of a disagreement with Air Canada over passengers' rights to a refund due to flights canceled amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The DOT has issued an 'Enforcement Notice,' which includes frequently asked questions on the topic of refunds. The heart of the matter is whether these policies apply to Air Canada – a foreign airline.

According to PaxEx.Aero, Air Canada has filed only one public response on this topic. It states that:

It does not intend to refund passengers on canceled flights (even if they were to/from the United States)
DOT policies do not apply to Air Canada – primarily because they are not actually laws

Original notes and articles

My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.
