With the rapid expansion of transportation demand, the number of global flights has rapidly increased, which also poses challenges to air traffic management (ATM). Considering that the radar system in ATM can no longer meet the requirements of flight safety, a very promising next-generation air traffic control technology-Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) technology has been introduced. However, in the event of on-board equipment failure and local area signal interference, the ADS-B's signal will disappear or be interrupted.

Methods: A qualitative descriptive study based on in-depth interviews with 8 experienced Norwegian HEMS physicians from 4 different bases from February to July 2020 using inductive qualitative content analysis. The study objectives were to explore the physicians' experience with incident reporting and their perceived areas of risk in HEMS.
With improved imaging technology, the number of incidental findings detected in cerebral MRI is increasing. This is a challenge that the German Air Force has to deal with in the context of standardized MRI examinations of young pilot candidates and pilots. The German Air Force Centre of Aerospace Medicine hosted a 2-d conference to develop recommendations and procedures for the handling of some of the most frequently encountered cerebral incidental findings.
