Aviation is one of the most regulated industries in the world. The massive expansion and growth of aviation in the South-East Asia region has brought up many challenges in ensuring airworthiness of aircraft, both in the civil and military aviation domain. These challenges not only affect the safe operations of aircraft but also result in various issues in the areas of cost, infrastructure, human capital and resources. From the point of view of civil aviation, local authorities in the region have taken several initiatives to tackle these challenges, based on the foundations laid out by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). When it comes to military aviation, agencies, such as the Directorate General Technical Airworthiness (DGTA) of Malaysia, have initiated the regulation of the compliance of military aircraft operations. There has also been an increased focus on awareness of the importance of airworthiness and safety as well as the development of a risk-based approach which is both proactive and cost-efficient.

In a previous study we have identified the incidence of human factors and errors in the security screening process, concerning the Brazilian civil aviation. This finding led to the analysis of labor activity in the security checkpoint from an ergonomic perspective. The objective of this study was to evaluate the various labor conditions in the security checkpoints of Brazilian airports, in order to promote safer and higher performance of the AVSEC professionals, as well as the security equipment. For this purpose, we analyzed 14 of 60 questions of a self-observation questionnaire based on the theory of Generic Error–Modelling System (GEMS) and the four themes about human factors recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The questionnaire was responded to by 602 AVSEC professionals who worked in the security checkpoints of 18 Brazilian airports. Our analysis focused on the preponderant indexes of each question, taking into account the sequential arrangement in which the questions were displaced in the questionnaire and the classification of human factors and errors.

Resumo: A crise sanitária ocasionada pela Covid-19 tem demonstrado que o novo coronavírus não acomete apenas as vias mais distantes do pulmão humano, mas também os fluxos da economia mundializada. Neste artigo analisamos as consequências do novo coronavírus na rede de transporte aéreo no primeiro semestre de 2020 a partir de uma abordagem multiescalar. Os procedimentos metodológicos basearam-se em coleta de dados do fluxo de transporte aéreo e de informações referentes a casos de Covid-19 em localidades selecionadas. As principais bases de dados utilizadas foram a Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC), a International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) e relatórios de concessionárias de aeroportos. A análise leva a refletir sobre a dependência das corporações, especialmente de grandes companhias aéreas, às ações do Estado e revela um sistema de espoliação (e de pilhagem) ainda mais agressivo e articulado em tempos de crise como essa ocasionada e/ou agravada pela Covid-19. Palavras-chave: Covid-19. Transporte aéreo. Fluidez. Crise econômica. Through the flows and the scales: Covid-19 and its implications for the air transportation network in the 1st semester of 2020Abstract: The health crisis caused by Covid-19 has shown that the new coronavirus affects not only the most distant pathways of the human lung but also the flows of the globalized economy. In this paper, we analyze the consequences of the new coronavirus on the air transportation network in the 1st semester of 2020 in a multiscale approach. The methodological procedures were based on the gathering of air transportation flow data and information related to Covid-19 cases in selected locations. The main databases were the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and reports from highway and airport concessionaires. The analysis leads to reflect on the dependence of corporations, especially large airlines, on the actions of the State and reveals a system of exploitation (and looting) even more aggressive and articulated in times of crisis such as that caused and/or aggravated by COVID -19.Keywords: Covid-19.

Entre flujos y escalas: Covid-19 y sus implicaciones en la red de transporte aéreo en el primer semestre de 2020Resumen: La crisis sanitaria derivada de la Covid-19 ha demostrado que el nuevo coronavirus no solo afecta a las vías más distantes del pulmón humano, sino también a los flujos de la economía globalizada. En este artículo analizamos las consecuencias del nuevo coronavirus en la red de transporte aéreo en el primer semestre de 2020 desde un enfoque multiescalar. Los procedimientos metodológicos se basaron en la recopilación de datos de flujo de transporte aéreo y de información relacionada con los casos de Covid-19 en ubicaciones seleccionadas. Las principales bases de datos utilizadas fueron la Agencia Nacional de Aviación Civil de Brasil (ANAC), la International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y los informes de las concesionarias de aeropuertos. El análisis lleva a reflexionar sobre la dependencia de las corporaciones, especialmente las grandes aerolíneas, a las acciones del Estado y revela un sistema de saqueo aún más agresivo y articulado en tiempos de crisis como esta provocada y/o agravada por el nuevo coronavirus.Palabras clave: Covid-19.

Space Traffic Management (STM) is a new concept referring to space activities. The highest priority is the safety and security of outer space and all conducted operations. There is no definition of STM. There is an urgent need to regulate STM providing safety and security regulations at the international, regional, and national levels. Because there is no STM definition, the regulator might use the example of existing regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization on Air Traffic Management (ATM). European EUSST is a good example of being a “precursor” of STM. However, many questions are still open regarding specific regulations needed to create an STM system, such as at which level they should be made: globally, regionally, or nationally.

Since 2004, the International Civil Aviation Organization has imposed pilots and air traffic controllers elsewhere in the world to comply with the established language proficiency standards as a safety measure against language and communication problems during flights. Currently, one of the problems that aviation English practitioners face is the lack of training materials on aviation specifications to learn various language aspects. This article discusses peculiarities of technical English used in aerospace. Thus, technical English not only facilitates communication between native and non-native English speakers but reduces the risk of errors and overall risks as well. In this regard, appropriate teaching approaches should be chosen, various tools and forms of teaching English aviation language should be used to form the language competence of future specialists.
