United Airlines is soaring to new heights with its commitment to passenger safety. The airline recently unveiled its innovative "Safety in Motion" video, a captivating and informative experience designed to engage even the most seasoned travelers. This unique video marks a significant departure from traditional safety presentations, offering a visually dynamic and interactive approach to educating passengers on critical procedures. United Airlines A Collaborative Effort for Enhanced Safety Safety is paramount at United Airlines. "Safety is the foundation of everything we do at United," emphasizes Sasha Johnson, Vice President of Corporate Safety for United. This dedication extends beyond cutting-edge technology and aircraft maintenance. It encompasses comprehensive crew training and clear passenger communication in the event of an emergency. The airline's commitment to passenger empowerment is evident in the "Safety in Motion" video, providing passengers with the knowledge and confidence to act appropriately in unexpected situations. The video's development was a collaborative effort, involving close cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) throughout the entire process. This ensured the content strictly adhered to all FAA regulations, with multiple checkpoints established during production. From script review and storyboard development to final video approval in March 2024, meticulous attention to detail guaranteed the video would effectively communicate safety protocols while meeting FAA guidelines. A Captivating Journey Through Safety "Safety in Motion" lives up to its name by employing a captivating and interactive approach. The video follows the path of a ball as it navigates a series of airplane-inspired scenarios within a life-sized, sequential reaction machine. Passengers witness real United employees demonstrating essential safety procedures as the ball rolls and bounces through various set-ups, including: Emergency exits Snack carts and beverage service Seatbelts and windows Passenger seating Directional signage This innovative concept not only educates passengers but also subtly highlights the intricate teamwork that goes into every United Airlines flight. "The safest safety video is one that passengers actively watch," explains Maggie Schmerin, Chief Advertising Officer for United. The creative team aimed to capture passengers' attention – regardless of age, background, or travel experience. By replacing static images with a dynamic and engaging narrative, the video ensures passengers retain crucial safety information. Behind the Scenes: A Production Feat Creating "Safety in Motion" involved a remarkable level of detail and collaboration. Here's a glimpse into the production process: 171 Customized Versions: To cater to United's diverse fleet, the video was adapted into 171 customized versions. These variations account for the airline's 8 different aircraft types, 20 distinct seat configurations within those aircraft, and 18 languages. A 10-Month Journey: The creative process for the video spanned ten months. Initial development began in June 2023, followed by filming in October 2023. The remaining five months were dedicated to meticulous editing, translation, and securing final FAA approval. A Collaborative Effort: The project involved a team of industry leaders. United partnered with their creative agency of record, 72andSunny, production partner 1stAveMachine, and award-winning director Karim Zariffa to execute the complex camera work required for the video. A Touch of Tradition: A nod to United's heritage is present in the video's soundtrack. The familiar melody of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" remains a consistent element, having been featured in many previous United safety videos. United's Unwavering Commitment to Safety "Safety in Motion" serves as a testament to United's unwavering commitment to passenger safety. However, the video is just one facet of the airline's comprehensive safety program. United invests heavily in crew training, ensuring its employees are equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle any situation. Regular Training Regimens: Flight attendants undergo refresher training every 18 months, while pilots participate in simulator-based training with instructors and evaluators every nine months. These ongoing training programs keep crews sharp and prepared for any flight conditions. State-of-the-Art Training Facilities: United recently expanded its Flight Training Center in Denver, solidifying its position as the world's largest facility of its kind. This expansion includes a new 150,000-square-foot building and additional training simulators, further enhancing pilot training capacity. Similarly, United's Inflight Training Center in Houston has undergone upgrades with new classrooms, advanced cabin and door trainers, and a cutting-edge aquatic center specifically designed for water landing evacuation training.

Upcoming FAA Regulations

Last week, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a press release announcing a proposed list of regulations for users of drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). According to the statement, these regulations are intended to “allow routine use of certain small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in today’s aviation system, while maintaining flexibility to accommodate future technological innovations.” Small UAV usage has increased substantially over the past few years, but the FAA has done little to regulate the safe operation of these systems despite mounting pressure from advocates ranging from commercial users to the National Parks Service to corporations like Amazon and Google. Even President Obama called on the FAA to expedite the release of their regulations after a late-night incident in which a secret service agent, following one too many drinks, crashed his DJI Phantom on the White House lawn. In a 2012 hearing, Congress gave the FAA a deadline of September 30, 2015 to come up with a plan for safe integration of remote controlled aircrafts.

Although government regulation may hinder creativity and certain possibilities of operation, a legal framework is necessary for the safe growth of the UAV industry. As drone technology becomes cheaper and more widely available, the market for it expands beyond professional use. Amateur fliers often don’t take necessary precautions like checking for tight propellers and obeying a flight ceiling of 400 feet. Despite preexisting rules stating that UAVS must remain at least 3 miles away from airports, there have been instances both of UAV sightings near commercial aircraft and of narrowly avoided midair collisions with helicopters flying higher than 1,000 feet. Though many camera-equipped drones come ready to fly straight out of the box, it takes hours of practice and training before operators can reasonably consider themselves skilled. Government regulations will promote a higher standard of safety and professionalism by ensuring that this technology is not used in reckless or dangerous ways. The FAA’s proposed regulations, however, have been widely critiqued since their release.

You can find a full overview of proposed rules on the FAA website, but we’ll summarize a few of them here:

Regulations would require that all remotely piloted and unmanned aircraft must weigh less than 55 pounds, not exceed 100 mph airspeed or an altitude of 500 feet, and not be flown at night.

Individual systems would not need to be FAA airworthiness certified, although operators would be required to make sure that their crafts are properly marked and in safe condition before every flight.

Another new rule states that an operator would not need a private pilot’s license to fly a drone, even though the few businesses that have already been approved for drone flight by the FAA were required to send their operators to flight school. Under the proposed rules, operators must “pass an initial aeronautical knowledge test” at an FAA-approved center every two years and must obtain an unmanned aircraft operator certificate. Obtaining a private pilot’s license would be much more expensive than this “aeronautical knowledge test,” and would focus on manned airplane flight protocol, so these new requirements would be more appropriate and helpful for educating users about UAV-specific issues.

Of all the FAA’s proposed regulations, the most contentious and potentially damaging is its Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) requirement, which would require that an aircraft remain within sight of either the operator or a visual observer at all times. Although this requirement might seem like an obvious one, it essentially eliminates one of the main reasons for utilizing drones over other means of aerial data capture. Although the intention of the rule is to prevent amateur operators from relying solely on First Person View (FPV) to monitor the position of their craft, an unsafe practice even for an expert pilot, it has unintended negative impacts for the future of the industry. Requiring that an aircraft remain visible to the operator contradicts most uses for automation. For example, Amazon has been planning on using drones to deliver packages for quite some time, but this new regulation would require each aircraft to be followed by an operator, making the entire service no more efficient than current delivery methods. Agricultural drones, intended to monitor crop health for huge areas of land, could not legally operate if the area were forested and the line of sight blocked. Hobbyists who use their UAVs to explore inaccessible areas would have to literally lower their sights. Almost every drone is equipped with basic failsafe mechanisms that prevent the aircraft from falling out of the sky, and via the on-board GPS an operator can see where his drone is located without having to visually monitor it. Although the VLOS rule is intended to keep operators and spectators safe, it drastically reduces the functionality and usefulness of autonomous flying, and has already caused large companies such as Amazon Prime Air to take their jobs overseas.

While the announcement of tentative regulations is a step in the right direction toward making the growing UAV industry as safe and as productive as possible, this proposal’s limitations will be hotly contested before anything is approved. The commercial UAV industry is expected to garner billions of dollars and revolutionize the way that cinema, agriculture, oil and gas, and many other disciplines operate. Here at Tenbo, we anticipate that there will be several changes to the drafted regulations during the 60-day public comment period, and we will keep posting as new updates are announced!
