The latest developments in the worldwide Ebola virus outbreak, and how it is and will impact air travel. Will stepped up screening efforts have any significant impact in combatting the spread of this deadly virus? Many people are skeptical.
The Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport opened their new runway, 10R/28L on September 18th. The 8,000 foot runway will help to increase capacity at the airport, while decreasing delays.
Aeromexico Flight 18 was rolling for takeoff on LAX’s Runway 25R last weekend, when the number 1 left main gear tire failed. The pilots initiated a high speed abort. After it was determined that no fire was present, the captain elected to keep the passengers onboard, and later deplaned onto the runway via air stairs.
Other news events discussed: FAA issues order to replace Honeywell cockpit displays on certain B-737 and B-777 aircraft. Two Ryanair jets collide while taxiing in Dublin. Another snippy Delta pilot on the radio, and a stuck mic episode, this time WestJet.

An FAA contractor sets fire to the Chicago ARTCC, then attempts to take his own life. What a mess.
Have you seen the cute beagle in the KLM commercial who reunites owners with their lost items? Sadly, the whole thing is made up. Oh well.

We’re still trying to figure out why the flight attendants manually deployed the cabin oxygen masks during the engine overheat/failure episode at Long Beach last week. APG listener Tyler sends audio feedback relating to deploying the masks.
A NYPD Helicopter had to take evasive action last week to avoid hitting a drone at 800 feet AGL, five miles south of LGA in New York. Operator arrested. PIBOT, a mini-robot, supposedly “flies” a PC simulator. Finally, a man is removed from a Tyger Airways flight for “terrorist” doodles.

It’s been a busy week at the APG Newsroom! We started the week with yet another crash that may be linked to hypoxia, and I decided to spend a little time discussing it, as well as emphasizing the importance of recognizing impairment and acting quickly.
On Tuesday, the NTSB met to issue their findings on the crash of UPS 1354 in Birmingham, AL a year ago August. Bottom line: Human error. I hosted a Google Hangout On Air Tuesday morning to watch the board meeting, and several APG community members were able to participate!
We discuss other news as well, including the crash of a Cessna 421C medical flight in New Mexico August 27. Seems the plane was refueled with Jet A instead of 100LL Avgas.
