The FAA has published its Congressionally mandated report on its Organisation Designation Authorisation (ODA) granted to Boeing. For those unfamiliar with the FAA regulatory system, the ODA allows the company to perform some airworthiness designee authority on their own where the FAA would be performing otherwise. This is comparable to the EASA system of Design Organisation Approvals. This report examines the influences within Boeing's corporate culture on the company's safety culture. Its conclusion directly ties several decades of corporate decisions making to an erosion in aircraft safety. Most damning is the observation that there is no objective evidence of a foundational commitment to safety that matched Boeing's description as its highest priority objective. The lessons learnt within the report are applicable to the much broader business context. Values drift and standards erode through a long process of normalising deviance. It is easy to couch each incremental corporate decision as one made in the company's best interests. It is over a long span of time that this becomes obvious. Ethical erosion occurs over time and the lessons of Boeing should be a reminder to us all.

✈️We have completed the first milestone in the program to renew Germany's air traffic radar network after closing with the German air navigation services provider, DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, the design of the future radar network that will be used to control air traffic throughout the country. We will equip 19 sites with primary and secondary Mode S radars, which will work in combination, and will install secondary support radars at another 4 locations. These systems incorporate more advanced digital technologies, such as more efficient gallium nitride (GaN) transmitters and fully digital signal processing, as well as nonlinear multisensor tracking algorithms that will provide a more precise image of air movements. The quality and reliability of the data sent by the new radars will enable smoother traffic management and increased punctuality at airports. The complete overhaul of Germany's radar network will accelerate the introduction of new technologies and boost the performance of the country's entire air traffic management infrastructure. #ATM #Radar #AirTrafficManagement https://lnkd.in/dYk9TcrF
