The rest continue to landing, fast and long, and that is how most runway excursions begin. The stabilized approach criteria, the 60% rule of RBAC 135, ANAC's Flight Alert on the Cessna 560 at Jacarepaguá, and what separates written policy from the decision in the air. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/piloto-unico-ifr-carga-de-trabalho-automacao/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/piloto-unico-ifr-carga-de-trabalho-automacao/ Sat, 24 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Safety RBAC 135 allows operation without a second in command when there is an approved autopilot and authorization in the operations specifications. What the rule does not solve is the cockpit with a single brain: the FAA automation report found manual flying error in more than 60% of the accidents reviewed and mode confusion as a recurring error. What single-pilot resource management is and what must be ready before the airplane leaves. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/cultura-justa-relato-voluntario/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/cultura-justa-relato-voluntario/ Fri, 23 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Safety RBAC 135 requires the safety policy to state which behaviors are unacceptable and under what circumstances no disciplinary action will be taken. Law 12.970/2014 protects voluntary reports from being used as evidence. Even so, the report does not arrive. What just culture is, where the line falls between error, risk and negligence, and why an SMS without reporting is just a form. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/vies-de-continuacao-pressao-do-passageiro/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/vies-de-continuacao-pressao-do-passageiro/ Thu, 22 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Safety A NASA study of 19 airline accidents found plan continuation bias in at least nine of them; a Flight Safety Foundation task force saw it in 42% of the cases it reviewed. “Get-there-itis” is not a character flaw, it is a mechanism of cognition that the commercial pressure of air taxi and business aviation feeds every day. How to take the decision off the pilot's shoulders at the wrong moment. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/performance-decolagem-pouso-riscos/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/performance-decolagem-pouso-riscos/ Wed, 21 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Safety Runway excursion is the second most common type of airplane accident in Brazil and the most common among business jets worldwide. The physics behind it fits in four variables: weight, speed, wind and density altitude. What the FAA handbook and RBAC 91 say, and why the margin disappears without warning. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/fator-humano-manutencao-duzia-suja/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/fator-humano-manutencao-duzia-suja/ Sun, 18 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Maintenance shops Maintenance and inspection appear as a factor in 12% of major accidents in a classic study and in 20% of prevention opportunities in a Boeing study. The twelve precursors of human error in the shop, identified in Canada in 1993, remain the same. What RBAC 145 requires, what it does not say, and where work order traceability comes in. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/diario-de-bordo-digital-inevitavel-resolucao-773/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/diario-de-bordo-digital-inevitavel-resolucao-773/ Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Logbook Since January 1, 2026, ANAC Resolution 773/2025 replaces 457/2017 and puts the digital logbook on the same footing as the paper one.

Loss of control, low-altitude collisions and inadvertent flight into IMC concentrate the fatalities — and none of the three is solved with more flight hours. What CENIPA and USHST data show, and what changes in the routine. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/custo-por-hora-de-verdade/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/custo-por-hora-de-verdade/ Sun, 06 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Management Six rules that separate a reliable cost per hour from a guess with two decimal places: only realized cost counts, dollars aren't converted by guesswork, fuel burn only with a unit, distance only when plausible, monthly rate only with a window, and model by the RAB. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/oficina-previsao-paradas-pecas/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/oficina-previsao-paradas-pecas/ Wed, 02 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Maintenance shops The shop finds out about the missing part on the day the aircraft comes in — and the hangar sits occupied waiting on freight.

How Alis projects each due item by the aircraft's real pace, why it uses the median and not the average, and how nearby items become a single downtime. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/is-141-006a-garantia-qualidade-ciac/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/is-141-006a-garantia-qualidade-ciac/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Flight schools The five elements of the Quality Assurance Manual, the role of the Quality Manager, what 'independent audit' really requires, and why an untreated finding is what fails the CIAC. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/jornada-escala-taxi-aereo/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/jornada-escala-taxi-aereo/ Sat, 22 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Air taxi Brazil's Aeronaut Law sets duty limits by crew composition, and air taxi demand never gives notice.

The bottleneck is not a lack of people who want to fly — it is cost, the hours gap between license and job, and instruction treated as a stepping stone. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/adsb-diario-de-bordo-rascunho/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/adsb-diario-de-bordo-rascunho/ Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Logbook The aircraft's transponder broadcasts the entire flight; public ADS-B networks listen. Alis uses that trail to create the logbook entry draft — date, times and airfields filled in — and leaves to the pilot what belongs to the pilot: reviewing and recording. https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/civ-digital-caderneta-piloto/ https://alisaviation.com/en/blog/civ-digital-caderneta-piloto/ Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pedro Girotto Logbook Total hours, currency, IFR, night: a pilot's career is a database that most keep by hand.
