	Report: Are UFOs an Air Safety Hazard?
		The author, Richard Haines, is a senior aerospace scientist and a member of the International Society for Air Safety Investigators, which assists the NTSB in accident investigations.
		The study was supported by a grant from the International Space Science Organization and is the first technical report on the subject of air safety and unidentified aerial phenomena produced by a newly formed organization called NARCAP (see sidebar).
		Finally, he recommends that a central clearinghouse be identified or established to collect, analyze and report UAP sightings for the continuing benefit of aviation safety as well as scientific curiosity.

	BBC NEWS \| Africa \| Nigeria pledges better air safety
		John Obakpolor, a fellow of Britain's Royal Aeronautical Society and retired Nigerian Air Force officer, told Reuters news agency that the evidence pointed to a lightning strike as a possible cause.
		Kieran Daly, editor of the Air Transport Intelligence online newsletter, told the BBC's Network Africa programme that Nigeria's air safety record is not great but that "the number of truly serious accidents is not as high as people imagine".
		He said those countries with poor air safety records generally had a problem with oversight by the authorities.

	Compressed Air Safety
		Air hoses should be kept free of grease and oil to reduce the possibility of deterioration.
		Air tanks and receivers should be equipped with inspection openings, and tanks over 36 inches in diameter should have a manhole.
		Air tank safety valves should be set no less than 15 psi or 10 percent (whichever is greater) above the operating pressure of the compressor but never higher than the maximum allowable working pressure of the air receiver.

		One of the first navigation aids to be introduced was the introduction of airfield lighting to assist pilots to make landings in poor weather or after dark, introduced in the USA in the late 1920s.
		An electrical fire on Air Canada Flight 797 in 1983 caused the deaths of 23 of the 46 passengers, resulting in the introduction of floor level lighting to assist people to evacuate a smoke filled aircraft.
		It is a common threat to aircraft safety and has caused a number of fatal accidents.

	Air Bag Safety - The Police Notebook
		Air bag risk is minimal if a driver can sit 10 to 12 inches or more away from the steering wheel.
		To date, completed investigations of air bag crashes show that many of the air bag injuries were due to the driver sitting too close to the air bag module or passengers riding unbuckled or incorrectly secured.
		To decrease the number of injuries and deaths caused by the combination of air bags and improperly restrained children, as well as those attributed to motorists being improperly secured, drivers must be made aware of correct safety procedures.

	III - Air Bag Safety
		In frontal crashes, air bags reduce deaths among drivers by about 30 percent and among passengers by 27 percent.
		Infants in rear-facing safety seats on the passenger side can be severely injured because their heads are in the direct path of an inflating air bag.
		If this is not possible, air bag switches can be installed so that the vehicle owner has the option of turning the bag off or on, depending on the situation.

	Airline Cabin Air Humidity Quality and Crew Safety
		Thus, it would seem logical that adding more humidity to in-flight cabin air would result in more residual organisms being left on cabin furnishings after each flight and that, in turn, would increase the odds of those organisms surviving in greater numbers to infect more subsequent passengers.
		Solutions to illusory airline safety “problems,” created by “consumer activist” groups who are grinding political axes, have a significant potential to harm us all.
		Using airline safety as a political football tends to have the opposite effect: It operates in derogation of safety.

		Godfrey, 36, survived the crash of an air ambulance into the Potomac River Jan. 10 in part, he says, because his air ambulance company, LifeNet, part of Denver-based Air Methods Corp., was focused on safety as it sought CAMTS accreditation at the Stafford County, Va., base.

		This Air Transat event has similarities to a 1983 Air Canada event involving a 767 and a 1996 event involving an Allegro Air DC9 where the flight crews successfully glided their aircraft to a landing after running out of fuel.
		In both cases, the crews had to glide the aircraft for several minutes before landing on a nearby runway.
