Aviation is a marvel of modern engineering, but airplanes face several natural hazards that can pose significant risks. Lightning, birds, and hailstorms are three such threats.

Let's explore how each of these can damage an aircraft and what measures are taken to mitigate these risks.

🛫 1. Lightning Strikes:

Impact on Aircraft:

Structural Damage: While modern aircraft are designed to withstand lightning strikes, the electrical discharge can still cause damage. Lightning can scorch or puncture the aircraft's skin, especially at entry and exit points.

Electrical Systems: Lightning can disrupt or damage electronic systems and avionics, potentially leading to malfunctions in navigation, communication, and flight control systems.

Fuel Tanks: Although rare, lightning has the potential to ignite fuel vapors if it strikes near fuel tanks. Aircraft are designed with lightning protection systems to prevent this.

Mitigation Measures:

Lightning Protection: Aircraft are equipped with lightning protection features such as static wicks and conductive materials that help dissipate the electrical charge safely.
Design and Testing: Aircraft undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can handle lightning strikes without compromising safety. This includes testing materials and electrical systems.

🛫 2. Bird Strikes:

Impact on Aircraft:

Engine Damage: Birds can be ingested into jet engines, causing significant damage. This can lead to engine failure or reduced performance.

Structural Damage: Birds striking the aircraft’s windshield, nose, wings, or fuselage can cause physical damage, potentially compromising the aircraft's structural integrity.

Flight Disruption: Bird strikes can cause pilots to abort takeoff, return to the airport, or make an emergency landing, disrupting flight operations.
]
Mitigation Measures:

Bird Detection Systems: Airports use radar and other technologies to detect bird activity and alert pilots and ground crews.

Wildlife Management: Airports implement wildlife management programs to reduce bird populations near runways. This includes habitat modification, use of scare tactics, and relocation.

Design Improvements: Aircraft engines and windshields are designed to withstand bird strikes up to a certain size and speed.

🛫 3. Hailstorms:

Impact on Aircraft:

Surface Damage: Hailstones can dent or puncture the aircraft’s skin, leading to potential structural damage. The fuselage, wings, and tail are particularly vulnerable.

Windshield Damage: Hail can crack or shatter the aircraft's windshield, posing a risk to pilots and reducing visibility.

Engine Damage: Hail can damage engines by causing dents or cracks in the engine’s components, potentially leading to engine failure.

Ajak John Goch, also known as Manyaar, is a young man from South Sudan who has gained attention for his marriage to five wives. According to reports, one of his wives is from Uganda and is his third wife.

The photos of Manyaar and his wives have gone viral online, sparking discussions about Dinka culture and polygamy. Polygamy is a common practice among the Dinka people of South Sudan, and it is often seen as a sign of wealth and status.

In Dinka culture, men are allowed to marry multiple wives, and it is considered a way to increase their wealth and social standing. However, polygamy can also be a source of conflict and inequality, as it can lead to competition and jealousy among wives.

Manyaar's case has highlighted the complex and often controversial issue of polygamy. While it is a deeply rooted tradition in some cultures, it also raises questions about gender equality and women's rights.

Ajak John Goch hailed from Lith Payam, Abek Community, Pan Goch of Jonglei State.

ANGELINA TO DEPLOY EXTRA FORCES FOR NEW YEAR FETE

Date: 31/December/2023

The minister of interior, Angelina Teny, said the ministry will deploy additional forces to continue beefing up security for the New Year celebration.

Addressing the media on Saturday, Angelina said people should not be alarmed when seeing forces patrolling their neighbourhoods because it is virtually an exercise to keep them safe.

“We are going to deploy forces, and the deployment is going to be more than what you (people) saw during Christmas,” she said.

“We are saying to our citizens and the members of the international community in the country that we are deploying [forces] not because of anything but to ensure that we have a peaceful celebration of the new year.”

She warned citizens against shooting in the air at midnight to mark the new year, adding the security forces will arrest the suspects and confiscate arms.

“Every New Year you hear people shooting guns, which cause many accidents, and the rest of it this year, if anyone shoots a gun, we will apprehend the person,” she warned.

She also made a passionate appeal for motorists not to engage in alcohol before driving.

“We are appealing that if you are driving, please don’t drink alcohol. If you are going in a group, make sure one of you does not drink so that that person drives you back home.”
