Canadian Xpress® would like to invite all pilots to join in the celebration where we will depart from Moncton (CYQM) & fly our happy bunch of passengers to London (CYXU).

Latest News: Sky Blue Radio Update |

Sky Blue Radio is pleased to announce a resumption of a skeleton service as we work through these trying technical times. As many of you Flight Simmers know, computers and in particular servers can and will fail.
We here at SBR have suffered a catastrophic server failure. We relied on a 3rd party’s to help us and they have failed us.
Please rest assured that all of the ownership and staff at SBR are working tirelessly to get the station back on the air ASAP.
While we get our station systems back to full strength Otto will keep you entertained with a wide variety of music in no particular order. We are also working on a method of getting the FS News Update on air in this interim period but as of yet the news will only appear on the website.
At present we estimate a full recovery of all your favourite DJ's and shows the 2nd weekend in July.
We thank you for your continued support. Please stay tuned to this site for further updates.

Latest News: Gatwick Real-Ops-Supersize me! |

Last decade saw many fantastic events
for the UK's South East RTS; this decade we're going ever further.
This year there will be 16 hours of full air traffic control
service from 0600Z to 2200Z, and 150 more bookable flights than last
year. Last time, pilots said it was the busiest airspace they had ever
flown in - but they've seen nothing yet! South East RTS and VATSIM-UK
will take the world's busiest single runway airport to the foundations,
and are attempting to make a VATSIM World Record: 550 bookable flights
and movements in one day.
London-Gatwick (EGKK) is London's second largest international
airport and second busiest in the UK. It has the world's busiest
single-use runway and is Europe's leading airport for point-to-point
flights.
There are over 90 destinations from Alicante to Zürich, from
long haul flights to short haul flights, from business jets to
airliners, and from luxury carriers such as British Airways to low cost
carriers like Easyjet.
We have it all!
Non-booked IFR traffic and VFR traffic is welcome, but subject
to severe delays as booked IFR flights have priority.
The event is always extremely popular, book your flight(s) now
to avoid disappointment. We hope to see you on Saturday 27th February
2010, for the record-breaking Gatwick Real Operations.
Book your flights here: http://realops.vatsim-uk.org/?ev=36

Latest News: Aviation accidents-Rate Decrease |
|
|
Posted by rochdale on Tuesday, February 23 @ 03:47:40 UTC (103 reads)

Despite a few major accidents in 2009, the year just passed has been one of
the best in terms of safety performance, recording the second lowest accident
rate in aviation history.
According to the latest report from the International Air Transport
Association (IATA) the 2009 accident rate was 0.71%, or one incident one
accident for every 1.4 million flights.
Altogether there were 90 accidents in all aircraft types, compared to 109 in
2008, and of these 18 were fatal incidents, compared to 23 in 2008.
“Safety is the industry’s number one priority. Even in a decade during which
airlines lost an average of US$5 billion per year, we still managed to improve
our safety record. Last year, 2.3 billion people flew safely,” said Giovanni
Bisignani, IATA Director General and CEO.
“But every fatality is a human tragedy that reminds us of the ultimate goal
of zero accidents and zero fatalities.”
In 2009 fatalities were higher recording 685 fatalities compared to 502 in
2008. North Asia carriers saw no accidents in Western-built aircraft this
year, while North America passenger carriers recorded no fatal incidents as the
only fatal incident involved a FedEx aircraft.
