New Black Boxes with one big Upgrade
The thirty-day ping life that black boxes are known for is about to be history, thanks to Radiant Power Corp, and Air France 477. After AF447, U.S. and European agencies decided to raise their expectations of black boxes. In 2011, they mandated a requirement that acoustic emergency transmitters be powered for at least 90 days. But with the rapid-fire application (standard for aviation procedures) that standard goes into effect next year. Associations like the FAA and the NTSB, and the BEA in France are cognizant of the size of airlines fleets, and the prohibitive cost of upgrades; so it is common for safety standards to take a long time to go into effect.
If they had raised the bar sooner and faster, MH370 might have had a bigger “ping” window, but the black box batteries are quickly coming to the end of their span.
Recommendations included the standard of expecting a new, lower-frequency emergency locator on every airliner, in addition to the 90 day battery-life.

Assemblywoman Amy Paulin pushes for Small Plane Safety Bills
Assemblymember Amy Paulin urges the legislature to pass her bills to make small planes safer, A.3920 and A.1175. The legislation would require small plane owners to register with the NYSDOT and show proof of third-party insurance, helping to track small plane use and protect victims of plane crashes.

Scotland Yard Nabs Drunken Pilot
United pilot Erwin Vermont Washington, of Lakewood, Colorado, was pulled literally out of the cockpit and arrested on Monday.
Officers were called to London’s Heathrow Airport to remove the pilot who is accused of being drunk. British law forbids pilots from having more than .02 percent blood alcohol. If convicted, the pilot could be jailed for 2 years. .02 percent could be as little as 1/2 of a beer.
In May, a Southwest Airlines pilot was arrested after flunking a breath test; and in January in Ohio, a pilot called in sick after witnesses reported he appeared to have been drinking.
