Resources recently added and updated in AERADE Many activities are increasingly performed online and so depends on the internet. Though many of theses such as shopping can be achived without the internet the long term effect of loss of access for official communication for government, energy or defence would be catastrophic. The report considers what happened to Estonia. Loss of internet access can be the result of malicious attacks or natural disasters but nations should take precautions to guard against them, both by themselves and through the private sector. The European Union takes a major interest in the organisation of such precautions in the Member States. In April 2009 the Commission sent a Communication to the Council giving its views as to how the Member States might through the EU strengthen the security and resilience of their critical information infrastructures (CIIs) and develop their defences against cyber-attacks. This inquiry considers what the EU can do in helping the United Kingdom and other Member States to prevent and detect cyberattacks, to respond to them, mitigate their effects and recover from them; and in particular at the strategy set out in the Communication, and the programme of work it envisages. Lashkar-I-Taiba : The Fallacy of subservient proxies and the future of Islamist terrorism in India The foundation of Lashkar-i-Taiba (LeT), the development of its modus operandi, and an investigation of LeT€™s activities in India, Pakistan, and the Kashmir region are discussed. Impacts of LeT on domestic Islamist terrorism in India are addressed. UK Armed Forces are increasingly sent to deal with complex and volatile situations where the separation between the war fighting phase and the peace support phase is unclear. The requirement for post-conflict reconstruction and stabilisation has become crucial particularly in theatres such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Therefore there is overlap between government departments such as the Department for International Development (DFID), the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD. In more recent years, the UK has worked in coalition with allies and international organisations which have a common understanding of methods and outcomes which has ed to the development of the Comprehensive Approach by the MoD and its adoption by the UK Government. However the definition of the comprehensive approach varies between countries, the UK bases the definition on that used by the MoD in its Joint Discussion Note and subsequently implemented in UK policy - €œwith commonly understood principles and collaborative processes that enhance the likelihood of favourable and enduring outcomes within a particular situation€. This provides access to a House of Commons Transport Committee report dated March 2010. The document includes the Government response to the Transport Committee report on The future of aviation, published on 7 December 2009. Each of the Transport Committee's recommendations are outlined together the Government response to it, as necessary. [Taken from abstract].

The text of the document is available in PDF format (1.8 MB), from the CAA's web site. This provides access to a Uk Civil Aviation Authority publication dated March 2010. The introduction of European Regulation (EC) 1107/2006 in July 2008 represented a major change in assistance provision, identifying new responsibilities for airports and making assistance provided by both the UK airport and UK airline a statutory requirement. The CAA€™s review, €˜Accessible Air Travel€™ recognises the work that has been done so far, but also highlights some key areas where further work is needed. The key findings of the review are the need for:The CAA to work with stakeholders to improve the accessibility of booking processes and information provided by travel companies to make it easier for passengers to pre-book assistance. Better information sharing between airlines and airports. Better awareness amongst airport staff of the range of impairments covered by the legislation as well as the extent of the airport€™s responsibility and the provision of appropriate assistance. Greater policy consistency across airlines on access to flights, assistance available to PRMs and what equipment may be carried onboard. Increasing the number of routes available for passengers travelling with assistance dogs. Better use of signage and terminal information to assist all passengers and allow more people with reduced mobility to travel independently. [Taken from abstract].

Hazard Analysis of the Use of GPS in Offshore Helicopter Operations This provides access to a Uk Civil Aviation Authority technical report 2009/06 dated February 2010. The report details the three-part hazard analyses performed for helicopter offshore operations on the UK continentalshelf. Part 1 addresses the use of GPS for en-route navigation. Part 2 covers the existing 'basic' offshore weatherradar approach. Part 3 deals with an 'enhanced' offshore weather radar approach which utilises existing North Seahelicopter GPS equipment to underpin the 'basic' weather radar approach. In each analysis, the individual hazardsand their potential consequences are identified and are then mapped onto conflict scenarios. The conflict scenariosare then assessed for severity and probability and the resulting risk compared with a modified JAA AMJ 25.1309 risk. [Taken from abstract].

This web site provides access to an Australian Bureau of Air Safety Investigation Research and Analysis Report B20060169_001 written by David G. Newman dated June 2006. Drug and alcohol use in pilots can have a detrimental impact on aviation safety. Important cognitive and psychomotor functions necessary for safe operation of an aircraft can be significantly impaired by drugs and alcohol. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and nature of drug and alcohol-related accidents and incidents in Australian civil aviation. A search of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau€™s accident and incident database was conducted for all occurrences in which drugs or alcohol were recorded between 1 January 1975 and 31 March 2006. There were 36 drug and alcohol-related events (31 accidents and five incidents). The majority of these occurrences were related to alcohol (22 occurrences). The drugs identified included prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications and illegal drugs (including heroin and cannabis). Drug and alcohol events accounted for only 0.02 per cent of all the occurrences listed on the Australian Transport Safety Bureau€™s database. Drug and alcohol-related accidents accounted for 0.4 per cent of all accidents. Furthermore, 89 per cent of drug and alcohol occurrences resulted in an accident, with the proportion of these 32 occurrences that resulted in an accident quite high, at 86.5 per cent. Fatal accidents accounted for 67 per cent of all drug and alcohol occurrences. The results of this study show that the prevalence of drug and alcohol-related accidents and incidents in Australian civil aviation is very low, but that the related accident and fatality rates are high. The planned introduction of a mandatory drug and alcohol testing program into the Australian civil aviation industry will provide a more prescriptive approach to the issue of drug and alcohol use in pilots. Education and training remain important elements of an overall approach to reducing the significant impact of drug and alcohol use on flight safety. [Taken from abstract].

Guidelines on Probability of Failure Analysis for New Expendable Launch Vehicles : Version 1.0 This is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Commercial Space Transportation document, dated November 2005. It provides definitions of key terms and performance standards for new expendable launch vehicle (ELV) failure probability analyses. A performance standard permits a launch operator to continue to employ alternative, potentially innovative methodologies if the results satisfy the performance standard. Current practice at the Federal launch ranges includes multiple methodologies for determining the probability of failure for new ELVs. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) here presents an acceptable method, but not necessarily the only method, to demonstrate compliance with the performance standard. The method suggested here is also intended to illustrate an acceptable level of fidelity for new ELV probability of failure analyses The document is available in PDF.
