  FAA inks aviation agreements with Canada and Brazil

  Federal Aviation Administration Press Release he Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has signed separate agreements with Brazil's Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) and Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) that will make it easier to approve each country's aircraft and aviation products for their growing aviation markets. The FAA and TCCA are continuing their long tradition of cooperation. The two agencies signed a shared surveillance management plan that defines the process by which they recognize each other's surveillance of manufacturers and their suppliers in the United States and Canada. The Plan ensures manufacturers, certificate holders, production approval holders and suppliers are complying with the responsible countries' applicable regulatory requirements. The plan requires manufacturers to comply with an approved quality system and ensure their subcontractors and suppliers also meet the applicable requirements and adhere to quality standards The result will be less need for FAA and TCCA aviation inspectors to travel to each other's facilities to do surveillance. Previously this was done on a case-by-case basis. https://www.skiesmag.com/press-releases/faa-inks-aviation-agreements-with-canada-and-brazil

  Military search and rescue missions delayed by aircraft, refuelling problems: report

  A new Department of National Defence report says military search-and-rescue personnel were delayed and in some cases unable to provide emergency assistance on about one in 20 of the hundreds of calls they received last year. While some of the problems related to bad weather, animals on runways and having to wait for provincial medical teams to arrive, more than half were attributed to refuelling issues and breakdowns on the military's ancient search-and-rescue aircraft. The Canadian Armed Forces says the refuelling problems and breakdowns, which afflicted a total of 20 search-and-rescue missions, did not lead to any deaths. Yet they do raise questions about the military's ability to respond quickly to potentially life-threatening emergencies given the age of its search-and-rescue aircraft, some of which entered service in 1967. The Royal Canadian Air Force officially accepted the first of 16 new search-and-rescue planes from European manufacturer Airbus in December, but the aircraft is still in Spain where it was built and has yet to make the trip to Canada. The government has also said it plans to replace the air force's aging air-to-air refuelling tankers, but the first replacement isn't expected until 2028 at the earliest. https://globalnews.ca/news/6650860/military-search-rescue-mission-problems/
