Narrative: I was the Pilot Not Flying in the right copilot seat. About 10 minutes into the flight we heard a noise. I looked and saw the copilot door was cracked open at the top. We immediately started talking about options to land. We were In VFR flight conditions on top talking to ATC. We discussed continuing to VFR condition further south on are flight path so we could descend to land in VFR conditions and re shut the door. That way in case the door came open we would not be shooting an IFR approach. We were talking to TRACON when the door opened. It blew my headset off and threw my head back against the copilot seat. The pilot called ATC and requested priority handling; stating we had a door open and needed to land. I never heard much off the ATC communication due to the wind blast and trying to hold the door shut. I tried several times to put my headset on but could not until we entered a downwind to land at ZZZ. During this time the pilot saw a VFR hole in the clouds and started to descend while talking to ATC. We landed without incident and checked the door and eventually finished our flight. After action I am taking the plane to an A&P to have the door pins checked.




Synopsis: A Beechcraft Baron pilot reported that the passenger side door opened in flight necessitating an immediate diversion to the nearest airport.

Narrative: There was fuel gushing out of the wing tip of the 737. All the proper channels were notified of the large fuel spill and absorbent was placed to stop the fuel from going any further. The only thing supplied as far as safety gear was a 'dust mask' for the clean up. A dust mask doesn't do any good when you are inhaling raw fuel. Everyone that cleaned the fuel spill smelled like raw fuel and had the hazardous dust all over their uniform for rest of the night. One person that was cleaning the spill felt sick the rest of the night; most likely from inhaling the raw fuel.




Synopsis: Following a B737-800 fuel tank vent overflow; safety mitigation procedures did not include ground cleanup personnel protection from fuel vapor or absorbent material dust. One person became ill and others smelled of fuel.

Also had related status message on both BTBs.Also; not related to BTBs; but interesting to note: Although manuals have full takeoff power requirement; TLR (Thrust Lever Reading); with EECs deferral noted; show ATM power settings. Recommend live calculation for max power takeoff; insuring deferral taken into account. Company informed this date through the incident report.Verify maximum power takeoff is indeed a necessary requirement. If so; either live calculate every takeoff or reprogram TLR for this MEL item. Discontinue TLR; using only live calculation until this is resolved.

Narrative: It was the Captain's day to fly. At cruise altitude approximately 90 minutes into the flight; he transferred control of the aircraft to me to momentarily leave the cockpit. As he left the cockpit; I deployed my oxygen mask as a safety precaution. As I put the mask to my face; I noticed the webbing for the head-piece did not inflate; and then that oxygen was not flowing from the mask. I looked at the oxygen gauge and saw that it was at zero. I notified the Captain; who then called the [Chief Pilot] to discuss options. This was a live leg with passengers so we were concerned about recovery flights; not to mention what might happen if we had a depressurization event or smoke and fumes. He placed the walk-around bottle next to his seat; attached his oxygen mask to it; and we began to make plans for the divert into [a nearby alternate].In all candor; we had a departure from the norm with the aircraft but that is what we are trained to manage. I felt we did an excellent job of dividing tasks as we reprogrammed the FMS for the divert; coordinated with ATC; and communicated with [the Chief Pilot] and the passengers. For me; it was a successfully managed event.During the event but before a final divert decision was made; the Captain asked me what I was comfortable with. I told him that though I was confident we could make it to our destination without the need for O2; I was not comfortable at all with that alternative and wanted to divert to the nearest suitable airport. He; [the Chief Pilot]; and I all came to the same conclusion that diverting was the smartest most conservative course of action. Pilot and/or copilot faulty oxygen controllers. I believe we handled the situation as we were trained to do. I also think we did a good job of managing our resources both in the cockpit and with [the Chief Pilot] to decide on the best alternative to flying on to the destination.

Narrative: This was a reposition flight from ZZZ to ZZZ1. Took off out of ZZZ on Runway 5. It was a clear day. Climbing through 400 feet we got a CAS message saying BLEED 1 OVER PRESSURE; BLEED 2 OVER PRESSURE. While I continued to fly the airplane; the Captain (CA) ran the QRH which was unsuccessful in resetting the PACKS and we immediately notified ATC that we needed to return to the airport. Since it was a clear day with no traffic in the area; we did not declare an emergency. ATC cleared us for the visual to Runway 5 and we landed. After landing; I did a post flight to check if there was any damage to the aircraft but everything looked fine. While I was doing this the CA called Maintenance and Dispatch to notify them of what happened.

Narrative: During my rest break I was awakened by a loud bang on the pilot crew rest bunk door. I attempted to go back to sleep but couldn't due to a galley cart that was parked in front of the door knocking against it every time the aircraft moved from the light turbulence we were experiencing. I got dressed and attempted to exit the bunk but couldn't because of the galley cart parked in front of the door. I waited for the cart to be moved and exited the bunk. The ISM (Inflight Service Manager)/purser and another flight attendant were in the galley. I told them to stop parking carts in front of the bunk door for two reasons; noise from the cart knocking on the door; and we couldn't get out of the bunk in the event of an emergency. [The] flight attendant immediately became argumentative with me. He asked me which manual prevented them from parking a cart in front of the bunk door. He said that it's a galley and that I should expect that kind of noise. He told me to use ear plugs. Here's the best one. He said it's a galley design flaw from Boeing. I gave up after that one. From his argumentative careless attitude towards my concern I was obviously wasting my time trying to fix the problem with this flight attendant. This is a constant issue.In conclusion; I believe that galley carts should not be parked in front of the pilot crew bunk door in the interest of safety. Galley carts banging on the door make sleep impossible and prevent us from exiting the bunk in the event of an emergency.




Synopsis: B787 First Officer reported his rest was interrupted by noises from a galley cart that was parked next to the bunk room door.

Narrative: On the BYP6 arrival into DFW at 11;000 FT we encountered two rolling wake turbulence episodes about 15 seconds apart. Enquired with DFW Approach as to the type of aircraft and distance in trail. Was told we were 6 miles behind a Boeing 747. Requested vectors off course to avoid wake. Called flight attendants to make sure everyone was ok. Was told everyone was fine. Upon gate arrival at DFW; Number 1 Flight Attendant notified me that she hurt her left hand. Flight Attendant did not want any medical assistance. I had [a] Manager meet us at the gate. It was determined by her and Flight Attendant that she would be removed from the return flight. She was to meet with medical upon arrival.




Synopsis: MD-83 Captain wake vortex encounter in trail of a B747 on approach to DFW resulting in uncommanded roll. A Flight Attendant injured her hand and was removed from the flight after landing.

Narrative: We were cleared for ILS. I called for the gear down [and] landing checklist. We both noticed the left main gear unsafe indication on the forward panel and on the overhead gear indicator panel. (Red Unlk and Amber Door.) I had First Officer cycle gear with same result. We notified ATC that we needed to discontinue approach because of unsafe gear. We were given straight ahead to 3400 feet then followed by a turn to 270 and climb to 5000 feet. After cleaning up jet and after takeoff checklist complete. I told ATC to vector us for another approach while we worked checklists.  We attempted another gear extension with unsafe indication. I called for the L/G Unsafe Indication QRH checklist directed by ECAM. We followed QRH PROC. With the unsafe indication on both panels we followed the QRH PROC. L/G Gravity Extension and got three down and locked with gear doors open. We let ATC know that we had no nose wheel steering and could we roll to the end so company could tow us in. We let ATC know we were secure. Mechanic pulled up and we had him pin all landing gear. We sent ACARS to [Operations Control] to inform them of situation. I made [a maintenance log] entry and briefed the mechanic of event. Mechanical failure of gear doors or landing gear mechanism.

Narrative: We diverted to SDF due to a power outage in our destination airport. I knew we were going to be on the ground for a while; so I wanted to let the Passengers deplane. Our Agent was busy with other diversions; so I tried to open the door myself. I was unable; as the door requires a special badge to open. I approached a Supervisor on the ramp. He said there was only person in the Station who can open that door! Finally; after 20 minutes; the one person who can open the door; came back to open it.   I feel this is a safety hazard. What if we had to evacuate the Passengers at the gate? The door should be able to be opened in an emergency. Change the rules at SDF airport for opening the jetway door.




Synopsis: An air carrier aircraft diverted to SDF because the filed destination was closed. During the extensive ground delay the Captain attempted to access the terminal and was told only one person could open the jetway. The Captain questioned the safety implications of no passenger access in the event of an aircraft emergency.

Narrative: Aircraft entered into class D airspace during mapping mission. Confusion as to 3rd party LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) authorization and if it was received and approved. ATC at ZZZ did not see the flight on their list and they sent a representative from the airport to make contact. Representative from ZZZ1 contacted me in person to ensure flight safety was being followed. Representative was satisfied that operation was conducted safely. 3rd party authorization procedures are confusing but geofencing software helps with safety.
