In recent months, Africa’s sky has a bee under a thorough investigation of bee as a series of fatal accidents raised questions on pilot training, regulatory enforcement, maintenance standards, weather preparations and other major issues related to the security of the continent.
On August 6, a Harbin Z-9h military helicopter used by Ghana’s Air Force slammed into a forest hill in the Ashananti area, killing all eight passengers, including Minister Edward Omanan Boma, Minister of Environment and Science, Ibrahim Muhammad as well as other senior political and security figures.
A day later, this tragedy was removed from another accident, when a Sesna Air Ambulance operated by Emeraf Flying Doctors in Kenya crashed into a residential area near Nairobi soon after the takeoff, claimed six people – on four boards and two on land.
Earlier in the year, a chartered beach carrying a chartered beach carrying Juba oil workers from South Sudan’s unity state went down to departing from the GPOC airstrip at Rubkona County in January, with all 21 killed.
In June last year, Malawi lost Vice President Saulos Chilima and former first female Petricia Shanil Muluji in another deadly accident when a Malavi Defense Force Force Force Force Dornier 228 schemes with a total of nine deadly people dabbed in Chikangawa Forest Reserve N Marg.
Meanwhile, there are increasing reports of severe disturbance incidents, which have left the injured civil flights to several passengers, which only intend to what is happening in the African sky.
Human error – and hubis
Experts in the industry say that machines have a temple poetry, human error, systemic negligence, insufficient security culture, and rapidly unexpected weather patterns, as a result of this worrying track records, over time.
“Airplanes are loyal machines. They are designed to serve. They are so well [they’re] Before anything wrong is loaded with a lot of fruitless components, the airplane honestly explains the pilots and engineers at all times, “Nigerian Aviation Advisor Godwin IK told DW, explaining the abundance of backup systems in modern plans and helicopters.
In his view, the aircraft, specific only “wants to fall from the sky, human operators can be very unfaithful and not more often, Herly dishonest.”
According to IKE, there is a certain element of human pride that can still achieve a fully operating aircraft: IKE insists that when automated systems detect a mistake, taking simple actioning take-off can create all differences between life and death, which is important as the following through regular maintenance programs.
He said, “For the maintenance, start the plan which is payable.
Take care of the weather
For Ahafiyanio, the head of Ghana’s central analysis and heads of the forecast office, the more danger is low about the preparations and response on the ground, but in the sky: She warns that climate change has an impact on the weather patterns at a high level of the atmosphere around the world, which has reduced some dangers.
“When it comes to the aviation industry, the weather is an important factor. … The first part of the convection activities.
“In addition to the convection activities affecting the operation of the aircraft, there is weather disturbance or clear air disturbance, which affects the aircraft operations.”
Ahafianyo’s team is in charge of providing helicopters with various notifications who are important for safe and proper operation of the aircraft, “Search as vertical profiles of 600 to 12000 feet high environment” from flight levels, “as” tropical locations for the day “and if any scissors can occur that can disturb their operations.”
But not in every pilot list, she underlines: “I was an aviation forecast, and could see some pilots care about the weather,” she said.
Godwin Iq agrees; If there is a frequent problem in the sky related to the Vathare conditions, pilots should just make contact on the radio with the nearest airport, airport, and announce that to make an emergency landing, “they explain.
However, he says that as long as some pilots agree to follow this standard protocol, it can be too late before – in cases of search, where they transport precious cargo search for government ministers and other influential leaders, who seem more precious than anything.
Africa’s negligence of international standards
Two analysts highlight that Africa’s aviation is in recent events, so deep political and regulatory failures.
Weak government inspections, for inconsistent security culture, and up to high costs of gaining spare parts to rising economic pressures from rising fuel prices, all combine to pose risking risks.
IK says that the issue of human error in the cockpit should be addressed, the problem of human negligence on the ground can be even more.
As long as Africa’s aviation industry catches up the highest air traffic standards, IKE believes that pilots should be asked to treat every mechanical alert and each season warning, not a suggestion.
International Aviation Bodies Mohlil repeatedly enforced African governments to continuously strengthen the Heisir security standards and better customize for increasing climatic instability, as each accident further eradicates public belief.
