Boeing 777 Flying With A Known Problem
By AEI Editor
Published: Mar 22, 2009
Rolls-Royce Trent 800-series engines can suffer from ice-induced fuel constriction in flight, and in the opinion of the NTSB, current precautions are "insufficient" to prevent the possibility of a fatal crash -- and they'll be flying like that for at least six more months.
So why not just add an anti-icing additive to the fuel? |  |

Turkish Airlines 737-800 Accident Schiphol, Amsterdam (25.02.2009)
By AEI Editor
Published: Feb 25, 2009
Earlier today a Turkish Airlines Boeing 737 crashed on approach into Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam. Fortunately fire did not break out on impact however regrettably there are confirmed fatalities. Our hearts and our thoughts go out to the relatives and loved ones at this sad time. AEI feel that it is inappropriate to comment or speculate as to the cause at the present time preferring instead that accident investigators be allowed to get on with the tremendously difficult task of unravelling events. |  |
We will update you on the facts as they become known.
Fred Bruggeman,
AEI Secretary General |

Dear Colleagues, An update on what has been happening within AEI. Please read it, distribute it amongst your members, have it reprinted in your own magazines etc.
Important is the serious question of Logbook checks. This is mainly about safety, but also about protecting our profession.
We all need to be assured that aircraft defects are reported when they occur instead of when convenient for the airlines. |  |
