While I'm feeling a lot better, I'm still not a 100%. Anyway some trends I've noticed aviation wise.
Commercial aircraft seem to be suffering a rash of engine issues, mostly resulting in returning to the take off airport.
In the same group turbbulence incidents seem on the rise, there was a spike a few months ago, and it's happening again. Some of these have been serious involving injuries. Keep your seat belt done up tight, it might save you an injury or worse..
Smoke in the cabin seems to be popular at the moment, as does phone catching fire on aircraft.
In light aviation, ultra light aircraft are having a bad time accident wise, these all too often result in fatalities.. Theres also been a rise in light aircraft suffering engine issues, this normally results in a forced landing with mixed results.
The enging issues are often caused by contamination of fuel, water is a known problem, pilots should check for this before takeoff. Remember if you loose the enging on takeoff, DO NOT TURN BACK. Thats a good way to stall and spin in, not a good way to go. Look ahead for a field or road, mayday and make an emergency landing. It's safer..
