Dear Captain Adelsohn,

Thanks very much for your kind words.

It was our pleasure to have an opportunity to visit Cali (the first time for all of us) and meet aviation safety professionals from so many South American countries.  The CAAS-LACAC training seminar was also an excellent exchange forum for us to learn more about the practices in your part of the world.  We hope we will have opportunities in the future to visit Central and South Americas again and to enlarge our contacts.  In the meantime, we look forward to receiving you and your friends from South America at the Singapore Aviation Academy!

Best regards.

Dear Cap Adelsohn,

It was truly a pleasure to meet you last week at the RAI course in OKC. We have always enjoyed our working relationship with the members of the CAA and look forward to working with you in the future.

We have an internal requirement to capture as much factual, releasable data related to events involving our products as possible and although I recognize we do not have any direct participation or involvement with the subject investigation, we would appreciate any factual information that you can provide. This information will be placed in our secured Safety Management database and will not be disseminated to others either within or outside the company.

We understood from the preliminary report was aircraft originated in Bucaramanga and was enroute to Santander transporting cargo when it contacted wires. Any additional information regarding history of flight, aircraft and engine damage, engine serial number, weather, etc would be appreciated. Again, it was a pleasure to meet you.

Best regards,

Jeff Edwards

Hello Luis,

It’s good to hear from you.  I am hopeful that you can return to the next Accident Investigators’ Course here in 2 years.  At that time, we will have added our new products to the training, including the models FA5000 and FA5001 families of new crash recorders.

Hi, Luis. Things here are going well, thanks. How are things for you in Colombia?

Thanks again for all of your assistance to the US team in gathering the information from the Aires accident to support the recommendations. As you can see, the additional information we gained to support the recommendation was quite valuable.

Best regards,

Courtney

Luis,

Thank you very much for all of your assistance during our trip to San Andres and

especially for your hospitality in Bogota as well. You took such good care of us that we

didn't have time to exchange photos.

I’ve attached some photos from Bogota to remember the trip.

As we discussed, can you please send a CD or DVD containing the photos to me at the following address?

Dear Captain Adelsohn;

 Thank you for working with us resolving this issue. If you need additional information please let us know.

The Captain of COA 881 reported the following:

"Takeoff was planned/scheduled at MGTW. As loading was completed there was no room for additional fuel. While at the gate we got word that our departure fix was expecting to have delays or be stopped for WX.  We departed the gate at a GWT of 154,800 with 35,200# fuel expecting a reasonable taxi time to takeoff. We were expecting a quick departure, but experienced incremental delays which used valuable fuel. Finally, at takeoff we had 34,300# fuel. Min fuel was 33,800#. En route and arrival WX looked good and no deviations were anticipated because of weather en route. When we got to BOG approach control they began vectors to sequence us with two or three

Captain Adelsohn,

Thank you for your email and interest.

I have attached the academic paper we wrote to support our project. At the International Aviation Safety Seminar we presented our work and examples of the worksheets

Your comments after reading the academic paper would be most appreciated. Our effort is to provide safety officers a way to how senior management the cost benefits of some safety programs. The worksheets allow for customized Inputs of cost categories. We then calculate the organizational costs which is useful to senior management. This method has been well received.

Further discussion on how we can help your operation would be of interest to us.

You mentioned your involvement with CRM. We provide a complete Safety Management System program using MITRE courseware. As you know, CRM Is part of a successful SMS. We would like to develop the opportunity to expand your SMS with our world recognized courseware and customized approach.

I look forward to further discussions.

Best regards,
