In simple words- a NOTAM should not be active for more than 3 months, and should not be replaced more than once. So if you still find old NOTAMS then the procedure is not being followed and should be questioned.

TURBULENCE IN SKY
Turbulence usually just causes a bumpy ride, but it varies widely in severity and can cause damage to the plane and injuries to the passengers and crew on board — not to mention serious fear and anxiety among flyers.
Passenger Behaviour During Evacuation
While air travel has been the most preferred and safest mode of travel for public for decades. Safe evacuation of all the passengers has further demonstrated the importance of crew procedures and training, together with leadership qualities, communication skills and coordination. The main idea of this article is to highlight few recurring issues that are cause of concern for flight crew.
Sit Back, Relax and Enjoy!!!
In this blog I will discuss some of the strategies to reduce unruly passenger events.
Unruly Passenger – Whose Responsibility?
ICAO defines an unruly passenger as: “a passenger who fails to respect the rules of conduct at an airport or on board an aircraft or to follow the instructions of the airport staff or crew members and thereby disturbs the good order and discipline at an airport or on board the aircraft”.

Misconceptions about Standing Water on Runway

Aviation & Airlines: Staying Out of Crisis….
As the global airline industry prepares to head to Doha for the annual IATA AGM on 19-21 June, there is plenty to be positive about – alongside continuing reasons for caution regarding the outlook.
