Looking forward to it!
Every small win, every late-night study session... it all led to this.
Tomorrow, we celebrate our Embry-Riddle Worldwide Class of '26 aboard the USS Wisconsin! 🎓⚓️

Embry-Riddle Introduces ‘Safer Skies’ Video Podcasts ainonline.com/aviation-news/…
Flights typically have > 400 lithium ion battery powered devices in the cabin. Clearly a safety risk in avn (article in comments below) First line of defense when fire occurs is the highly trained flight attendants. Risk is reduced when pax pay attention to safety information.
One person was injured aboard an American Airlines flight when a passenger's laptop suddenly caught on fire. Upon safely landing in Dallas, firefighters rushed onto the aircraft. @JaclynLeeTV spoke with a passenger on that flight. abcnews.link/UcIQJS1

A typical flight can have 400 lithium ion battery powered devices in the cabin. This is an important safety issue and passengers need to be aware of how to carry/use/stow these devices. Check out the article here for more issuu.com/usaig_premium-on-s…
A passenger jet flying to New York's JFK was diverted to Bangor, Maine after the cabin filled with smoke. Swiss Air says the smoke occurred in business class after a headphone charging case overheated. @SRamosABC reports as the FAA investigates. abcnews.go.com/
The best!
If @EAA AirVenture is the Super Bowl of air traffic control, then the FAA has an all-star team. 🤩🏆
The FAA's Elizabeth Wichmann shares the game plan behind how we keep the skies safe during one of the busiest weeks in aviation.
So far, we've safely managed thousands of arrivals and departures as more than 700k aviation enthusiasts gather for the world's largest air show! #OSH26

Boarding a commercial flight is statistically safer than a day of skiing or scuba diving. A new study from the Embry-Riddle Boeing Center for Aviation and Aerospace Safety provides a rational framework for evaluating risk.

What if we’ve been missing half the safety story?
In aviation, we are highly skilled at investigating what goes wrong — incidents, errors, deviations, and system breakdowns. But increasingly, the industry is asking a different question:
What can we learn from [LW2.1]when everything goes right?
At AP-SAS 2026, Session 12 — The Proactive Mindset on Learning From When Things Go Right — explores this shift in thinking and why studying successful operations is becoming a critical part of strengthening aviation safety.
Because in complex, high-tempo environments like aviation, safety isn’t only the absence of failure — it’s also the presence of strong decision-making, effective communication, adaptive expertise, and resilient system performance.
This session will highlight emerging research and real-world insights into how organizations are identifying, analyzing, and scaling positive operational practices that often go unnoticed.
Featuring:
Dr. Kristy Kiernen, Associate Professor, @EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University
For aviation professionals working in safety, operations, human factors, and SMS development, this is a fresh perspective on building stronger systems — not just by learning from failure, but by learning from success.

Favorite pictures from the return - pure joy
The Artemis II astronauts were all smiles on the flight deck of USS John P. Murtha after they were extracted from their Orion spacecraft after splashdown.

Murtha after they and fellow crewmates CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist, and NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander, were extracted from their Orion spacecraft after splashdown, Friday, April 10, 2026, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. NASA\u2019s Artemis II mission took the quartet on a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon and back to Earth.
