The Low-Down on Altimeter Settings
by Marcia Patten and Ed Arri
4Marcia Patten and Ed Arri created an excellent
article about some of the altimeter problems
that folks have been having. We even went outside
the ASRS to get some additional incident reports from
Canada’s Aviation Safety Board. We think you will
find this to be a timely and extremely useful review.
Consider including this article in your next publication.
Passenger-Related Safety Hazards
by Betty Hicks and Rowena Morrison
11There has been a lot of press lately about

went looking in the ASRS Database to find some
passenger-related incidents. Passenger-related incident
reports form a very small part of the ASRS
database, but there were enough records to allow
Betty Hicks and Rowena Morrison to serve up a great
article about the sorts of problems today’s Cabin
Attendants and other air carrier personnel can face.
Here is Issue Number Nine of ASRS Directline. In addition to Directline’s normal complement of articles, we
have included a new ASRS safety product—ASRS Operational Issues Bulletins. ASRS’s Ops Bulletins will
provide timely review of safety issues seen as important to ASRS Analysts.
Users are encouraged to reproduce and redistribute any of the articles and information contained within
ASRS Directline. We DO ask that you give credit to the ASRS, Directline, and the authors. We also request that
you send us two copies of any publication or other material that makes use of Directline articles or information.
