                      FAA issued Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB)  to alert owners, operators, and  maintenance technicians of Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) Models PA-28, PA-32, PA-34, PA-44, and  PA-46 series airplanes of an airworthiness concern, specifically structural deterioration and possible  collapse of the air inlet hose. The air inlet hose may be between the air filter and the fuel injector,  carburetor or carburetor heat box depending on the airplane model. A collapsed hose reduces airflow  to the engine and could result in a rough running engine or a loss of power.  At this time, the airworthiness concern is not an unsafe condition that would warrant an FAA  Airworthiness Directive (AD).  Background                 In November 2013, a Piper Model PA-28-140 airplane impacted terrain shortly after takeoff. The  airp...

           The DGCA has amended its Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR) relating to air safety    to allow the use of Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) including cellphones. The use of PEDs shall be in the non-transmitting mode commonly called flight/airplane mode”             Para 4 of CAR deals with training requirement of crew where stowage of PED is one of the point. But nowhere mentioned regarding ''securing'' of PED used by passenger.              There is an important distinction that needs to be made between “stowing” and “securing” PEDs. If a PED is to be “stowed”, it must be placed into an approved carry-on stowage location. These locations have been designed and certified to comply with the requirements for retention of articles of mass during emergency landings. Approved carry-on stowage locations have specific weight and size limitations. When a PED is “secured”, i...
