Dear Aviation colleagues,
Section titled “Dear Aviation colleagues,”I hope that the new year finds you, your families, friends, and colleagues well. The entire Airbus safety team and I pass on our best wishes for brighter 2021. With the vaccine solutions now becoming available, it gives us hope that we will begin to emerge from this COVID-19 situation. However, we will still face some uncertainty, together with all of its associated challenges.
Seeing so many grounded and parked aircraft in 2020 was disheartening for everyone, especially in contrast to the normally dynamic operational environment of commercial aviation. In this context, there is also the heightened risk of falling into the complacency trap. It is why we must remain vigilant, and ensure we do everything that is required to safely return to the skies.
In response to the evolving circumstances of 2020, aviation actors had to adapt and develop risk management strategies, in particular to avoid this complacency trap. At Airbus, we launched our own task force, which included a dedicated focus on supporting Operators with storage, parking, maintenance practices, and preparing aircraft for their return to service including flight operations aspects. The significant work achieved by our colleagues in Airbus Customer Services and Engineering teams reflected in the Safety first articles published throughout 2020.
These included Aircraft Parking and Storage (May), which was followed up by Preparing for a Safe Return to the Skies (June), and with further updates provided in the Parking and Storage / Return to Service Summary Letter. For flight crews who have recently flown much less than usual, there are articles on Prevention of Unstable Approaches (October), A Focus on the Landing Flare (September), and the latest article, A Focus on the Takeoff Rotation (January). Each article provides operational best practices and the key safety elements for pilots to recall during these critical flight phases.
Nevertheless, the aviation industry is not yet clear of the COVID-19 “wake vortex” effect. Therefore, we need to remain focussed on fully applying risk management mindset and to implement all of the resulting risk mitigation strategies. It is why I strongly encourage every one of us keep going, and for you to make full use of the above-mentioned Airbus safety information, which will support a safe return to flying.
Safety in aviation is a part of our professional DNA and our shared passion for aviation. It is why we are pleased to see the readership of the Airbus Safety first articles continue to grow, with over 500,000 visits safetyfirst.airbus.com and the Safety first app in 2020. I want to thank all of you for engaging with the safety information that we are sharing and for continuing to connect your aviation colleagues with Airbus Safety first 2021.
I look forward to seeing you in the safe skies ahead.

亲爱的航空同仁们，
Section titled “亲爱的航空同仁们，”愿新的一年里，您、您的家人、朋友和同事们一切安好。我和整个空客安全团队向您致以最美好的祝愿，期待2021年更加光明。随着疫苗解决方案的陆续推出，这让我们看到了从新冠疫情中走出来的希望。然而，我们仍将面临一些不确定性，以及随之而来的各种挑战。
2020年如此之多的飞机停场封存，每个人都感到沮丧，尤其是与商业航空通常充满活力的运行环境相比。在此背景下，也存在着落入自满陷阱的更高风险。正因如此，我们必须保持警惕，并确保采取一切必要措施，安全地重返蓝天。
为应对2020年不断变化的形势，航空从业者必须调整并制定风险管理策略，特别是要避免陷入自满陷阱。空客成立了专项工作组，其中专门关注为运营人提供支持，涵盖存储、停场、维护规范，以及为飞机重返服务（包括飞行运营方面）做准备。空客客户服务和工程团队同事所完成的大量工作，已体现在2020年全年发布的 Safety first 文章中。
其中包括《飞机停场与存储》（5月），随后是《为安全重返蓝天做准备》（6月），并在《停场与存储/重返服务总结函》中提供了进一步更新。对于近期飞行小时明显减少的飞行机组，我们发表了关于《预防不稳定进近》（10月）、《聚焦着陆拉平》（9月）以及最新文章《聚焦起飞抬轮》（1月）的文章。每篇文章都提供了运营最佳实践和关键安全要素，供飞行员在这些关键飞行阶段牢记。
然而，航空业尚未摆脱新冠疫情“尾涡”效应的影响。因此，我们需要继续专注于全面应用风险管理思维，并实施所有由此产生的风险缓解策略。正因如此，我强烈鼓励我们每个人继续努力，并充分利用上述空客安全信息，这将支持我们安全地重返飞行。
航空安全是我们职业基因的组成部分，也是我们对航空的共同热情所在。因此，我们很高兴地看到空客 Safety first 文章的读者群持续增长，2020年 safetyfirst.airbus.com 和 Safety first 应用程式的访问量超过50万次。我要感谢所有阅读我们分享的安全信息的人，感谢你们继续让航空同仁与空客 Safety first 保持联系。
期待在前方安全的蓝天上与您相见。
