Editorial

Dear Customers and Aviation Safety Colleagues,
We have now started a new year, and looking back at 2009, statistics confirm that runway excursions remain the main category of accidents in air transport.
In the last issue of this magazine, we presented two new system features developed by Airbus to help flight crews during the critical landing and takeoff phases: the Runway Overrun Protection System (ROPS) and the TakeOff Securing function (TOS).
In this issue we have as well two articles devoted to these flight phases:
..“A320 Family/ Evolution of ground
spoiler logic”.
..“Incorrect pitch trim setting at
takeoff ”. The other two articles of this magazine concentrate on topics for which the specific environment requires to reinforce awareness of either pilots or mechanics.
..
Technical flights.

..
Maintenance work on aircraft

oxygen systems.  These topics, and many others, will be reviewed during our next Flight Safety Conference in Brussels on March 15th to 18th, where we look forward to meeting the representatives of all our operators.
