Acute exposure to these decomposition products can result in symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat. [ 10 ] Engine bearing seals are installed to ensure that critical engine bearings are continuously lubricated, and to prevent engine oil from leaking into the compressed air stream.
After that near disaster, the stall mach buffet margins were widened on all jet aircraft, to preclude a plane getting into that situation again, where severe turbulence narrows the "coffin corner" margins so severely that the pilots do not have time to avoid a high altitude stall. [16]
Sinus barotrauma or aerosinusitis has been known since the early development of aviation medicine. However, it was during World War II that the subject first received serious attention and the pathogenesis of the disease was understood to be due to exposure to high altitude flights. Rapid altitude changes with accompanying changes in ambient ...

Aviation safety is the study and practice of managing risks in aviation.This includes preventing aviation accidents and incidents through research, educating air travel personnel, passengers and the general public, as well as the design of aircraft and aviation infrastructure.
Aspiring pilots must show their ability to fly in all of Bhutan’s varied seasons. As the national flag carrier, Druk Air has taken much of the responsibility for pilot training on itself.
The pilot may have suffered spatial disorientation immediately after the emergency. [1] Animation of an accelerated stall. The NTSB noted that the plane had banked to the right to such a severe angle that the plane entered a state which investigators call an "accelerated stall". [1]
Credit is due the cockpit and cabin crew of Japan Airlines Flight 516 after all those on board were safely evacuated in a collision at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, writes Les Abend.
The final report concluded the aircraft crashed after temporary inconsistencies between the airspeed measurements—likely due to the aircraft's pitot tubes being obstructed by ice crystals—caused the autopilot to disconnect, after which the crew reacted incorrectly, causing the aircraft to enter an aerodynamic stall from which it did not ...
