AirAsia flight QZ8501: what did investigators learn from MH370?-AirAsia search team-Aviation experts say some lessons were learned but not acted upon in time to aid the AirAsia search-LAST UPDATED AT 13:58 ON Fri 23 Jan 2015-theweek.co.uk
The disappearance of AirAsia flight QZ8501 initially prompted comparisons to the case of Malaysia Airlines's missing flight MH370.The two flights vanished within nine months of one another, with no final distress call nor immediate signs of wreckage. Both airlines have a Malaysian connection and were last seen on radar in the same region. But as debris from the AirAsia plane was swiftly located, crucial differences in the two tragedies emerged.The MH370 disappearance is still largely a mystery, with investigators suspecting that the flight's transponder was deliberately switched off. It is believed to have ended up in an area of the Indian Ocean many times deeper than the Java Sea, where QZ8501 went down. MH370 disappeared in clear skies, while it appears that a storm contributed to QZ8501's demise.So did the disappearance for MH370 teach the world any lessons?
Better communications
In the aftermath of MH370's disappearance, the airline and Malaysian officials were accused of releasing confusing and contradictory statements. Families of passengers and crew said their distress was compounded by the lack of reliable information. But [1]CNN says in the AirAsia case "both government and airline officials appear to be striking a more appropriate tone". Curt Lewis, an airline safety and accident investigation consultant, told Bloomberg the Indonesian government and AirAsia had responded more rapidly and with more accuracy to customers, families of victims and the media after learning "what not to do" from MH370.
Response time
Experts say Indonesia and AirAsia were also more open about asking for help from other countries, avoiding the pitfalls that hindered the response to the MH370 disaster. "The Indonesians seem to have reacted much quicker, with more zeal, and have been more welcoming of international support, than the Malaysians," said Richard Bitzinger, coordinator of the military transformations programme at the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore.
Real-time tracking
After the loss of Air France flight 447 five years ago experts called for mandatory real-time tracking of commercial flights. This call was repeated last year after MH370 went missing. Even Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the move was long overdue. "One of the most astonishing things about this tragedy is the revelation that an airliner the size of a Boeing 777 can vanish, almost without a trace," he said. But David Soucie, CNN safety analyst, says it is "incredibly painful" to see that the lessons were learned but not acted on in time to save the AirAsia flight.
Black box capability
One of the key differences between the two disappearances is the depth of water in which the planes are believed to have met their end. The water in the Java Sea where QZ8501 went missing is about 40 to 50 metres deep – a "stark difference" to the depths of more than 4,000 metres confronted by crews searching for MH370, says the Sydney Morning Herald. After MH370 there were calls for floating black boxes with a longer-range and longer-lasting signal. AirAsia's black boxes have been located, but experts pointed out that this might not have been the case if the plane had come down elsewhere.

Indonesia salvage teams fail to float AirAsia fuselage-UPDATED: 24 Jan 2015 21:45-CNA
JAKARTA: Indonesian salvage teams failed to raise the fuselage of AirAsia Flight QZ8501 from the sea bed on Saturday (Jan 24), but recovered four more bodies from the wreckage of the crashed jet.The bid to raise the fuselage came a day after divers were able to enter the main section of the plane, which crashed in the Java Sea last month, for the first time.Difficult weather conditions for the past week had stopped rescuers reaching the main part of the Airbus A320-200 since it was spotted on the seabed by a military vessel earlier this month."We were not successful today. The sling snapped off so the main body fell back to the sea floor," S.B Supriyadi, a rescue agency official, told AFP, adding several bodies fell from the fuselage when the piece of wreckage sunk once again.The operation to lift the main body will resume on Sunday. The rescue agency official also said a sonar scan had detected an object "suspected to be the cockpit" of the plane about 500 metres away from the fuselage.But the search teams will prioritise floating the main body before verifying the object suspected to be the cockpit, Supriyadi added.Just after dawn Saturday, divers began descending to the sea floor to tie floatation bags to the fuselage, said Rasyid Kacong, the navy official overseeing the lifting operation from onboard the Banda Aceh warship.Four bodies believed to have come from inside the fuselage were retrieved as the team tried to lift the main section, bringing the total number of bodies recovered to 69, officials said.The previous day, a jumble of wires and seats floating inside the fuselage prevented the divers from entering further to find more bodies. "The divers said it was dark inside, the seats were floating about and the wires were like a tangled yarn," Supriyadi said.The rescuers hope that once the fuselage is lifted, it will be easier to inspect the inside of the main section, he added.The jet's black boxes - the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder - were recovered last week, and investigators are analysing them.Flight QZ8501 went down on Dec 28 in stormy weather, during what was supposed to be a short trip from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore. There were 162 people on board.Indonesian Transport Minister Ignasius Jonan said this week that the plane climbed abnormally fast before stalling and plunging into the sea. Just moments before the plane disappeared off the radar, the pilot had asked to climb to avoid a major storm but was not immediately granted permission due to heavy air traffic.- AFP/al
AirAsia CEO calls for greater aviation integration in ASEAN-UPDATED: 25 Jan 2015 00:56-CNA
DAVOS, Switzerland: AirAsia founder and CEO Tony Fernandes has called for greater aviation integration in Southeast Asia.ASEAN currently has no regional agencies overseeing aviation safety, or coordinating air traffic control - issues that have come to the forefront since the crash of AirAsia flight QZ8501 in December.In an interview with Channel NewsAsia at the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Fernandes began by talking about QZ8501’s recovery efforts.“My primary concern is the families and returning our guests to the families,” he said.”We seem to be making some headway with the Indonesian rescue authorities in that they are making progress in removing the hull and we are finding some of our of our guests there. I think we are up to about 60 plus and that is our key concern.Q: Are you happy with the way the process is going? A: I think Indonesia has done a very good transparent process and have worked very hard in locating the plane in what is very, very difficult weather conditions. Credit to the divers and credit to the navy and the BASARNAS (Indonesian search authority) Q: At this stage, are there specific recommendations that you would make in the experience of this as to how things might be improved as to what things should be done next as a lesson from this event? A: No, I think it's too early to know what happened. But what I can say is that at AirAsia, we are looking at everything we do. Everything has been certified, everything has been run by Airbus in the past. But we are not waiting for the investigation; we are looking to see what we can improve straight away.Q: I ask because you have said before that the harmonisation of the way practices are conducted, the way air traffic controllers talk to one another - so many elements of doing air travel properly in ASEAN may not be quite joining as they might.A: I don't think the non-harmonisation led to the accident. But I think having one aviation authority improves standards for everybody and makes it easier for businesses to operate. And I think that goes across not just aviation, across everything.“If ASEAN is to be a common market, investors have to see us as a common market, which means one approving authority - you get one license to operate in ten countries. I point that as a point from aviation."Going back to the earlier discussion, ASEAN has the ability now to set world standards. So if we are going to have an ASEAN aviation authority and an ASEAN banking authority, they should be based on the very best standards. And that makes our companies able to compete globally as well.Q: Are you of the mind that an ASEAN aviation authority is likely to arrive at any point? A: I think some of the aviation authorities are very open to it, others aren't. But I think this is what debate is about, this is what communication is about and this is what we are doing here. I think the pace is going to start accelerating now.- CNA/ec
