Ethiopia Denies Boeing test Flights
Mr. Tewolde Gebremariam, the CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, has announced that Ethiopian Airlines has begun flying to Milan. The nonstop service between Addis Ababa and Milan is only one of 63 destinations offered, and it’s maiden flight was July 2nd.
The airport at Addis Ababa has been involved in an expansion program, leading Boeing to ask the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for landing rights—Boeing wants to conduct high-altitude tests there but the request was denied. However, in October 2006 Airbus conducted a flight test for its A380 in Addis Ababa.
Officials claim congestion due to construction is behind the denial.
Addis Ababa is a high altitude airport and preferred for high altitude testing.
Private airlines at the Addis Ababa airport operate under an aviation regulation that prohibits private airlines from operating aircraft with over a 20-seat capacity.
Capt. Solomon Gizaw, owner and managing director of Abyssinia Flight Services calls this a protectionist practice.
“Do you know why the governments put the 20-seat limit? It is to protect Ethiopian Airlines. We all like the national flag carrier. But how long will it be protected?”

Senate Examines ATC
Randolph Babbitt, the administrator for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Paul Rinaldi, the head of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association presented to the senate new aviation policies and rules.
During the hearing, Senators asked about fatigue among controllers. Several high-profile incidents in which controllers were said to be asleep or distracted while on duty include a controller who fell asleep Monday at Boeing Field/King County International Airport in Seattle and two controllers who were unresponsive at Preston Smith International Airport in Lubbock, the controller who slept for five hours at McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville.
The agency intends to a second controller at 26 airport towers and one other air-traffic center on overnight shifts so controllers don’t work overnight alone.
Dr. Greg Belenky of Washington State University’s Sleep and Performance Research Center suggested controllers be allowed controlled twenty minute restorative naps.
FAA Sets Crew’s Alert Parameters
Alerts should be designed so that the pilot can acknowledge the problem and suppress the alarm. According to the FAA, the system should automatically remove the alert when the conditions no longer exist, preventing a “nuisance.”
The FAA recommends manufactures use six or fewer colors.
Alert colours on the flight deck for future aircraft will have red warnings, amber or yellow cautions and any colour but red, amber, yellow or green for advisory alerts. Attention cues can not rely solely on color but must alert two senses.
Weather, terrain or traffic displays may still use the four colours, but “must not adversely affect flightcrew alerting.”
