Penipuan Tiket Pesawat Dengan Harga Murah

Masyarakat calon pengguna jasa penerbangan harus berhati-hati dalam membeli tiket pesawat yang ditawarkan dengan harga murah oleh oknum atau travel agent tidak resmi.

Tiket yang ditawarkan tersebut biasanya berupa tiket elektronik (E-Ticket) yang dibeli oleh oknum-oknum tersebut melalui website/internet milik maskapai penerbangan dengan menggunakan kartu kredit palsu atau kartu kredit milik orang lain (curian).

Calon penumpang yang tergiur dengan tiket murah dan membeli tiket tersebut akan menjadi korban karena maskapai penerbangan akan meminta calon penumpang untuk menunjukkan kartu kredit yang dipergunakan pada saat melakukan pembayaran melalui internet untuk dilakukan pencocokkan (validasi) dan apabila tidak dapat menunjukkan kartu tersebut maka calon penumpang tidak akan diterima untuk ikut dalam penerbangan tersebut.
Bagi calon penumpang yang tetap ingin berangkat harus membeli tiket baru sesuai harga yang berlaku saat itu.

Agar tidak menjadi korban penipuan, disarankan kepada setiap calon penumpang untuk membeli tiket secara langsung melalui:
1. Website/internet dengan kartu kredit milik sendiri atau pembayaran dilakukan melalui ATM.
2. Kantor penjualan maskapai penerbangan.
3. Travel Agen resmi (yang jelas nama dan alamatnya).

Semoga informasi ini bermanfaat bagi calon penumpang.

Honeywell's 3-D Weather Radar Delivered To Lion Air, Enhances Safety For Entire Fleet

Honeywell's 3-D Weather Radar Delivered To Lion Air, Enhances Safety For Entire Fleet


Lion Air takes delivery of first single-aisle installation of Honeywell’s advanced 3-D weather radar

PHOENIX, August 6, 2008 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that Indonesia’s Lion Air has taken delivery of the first Boeing 737NG with Honeywell’s next-generation advanced 3-D weather radar system. Honeywell’s RDR-4000 3-D weather radar was recently certified on the 737NG platform and the Lion Air delivery marks the first single-aisle installation of the advanced weather radar.

Lion Air will be taking delivery of 120 737NGs equipped with Honeywell’s advanced weather radar through 2013. Lion Air also selected Honeywell’s Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) ensuring its usage of the latest technology of avionics and promoting safety products with this growing Indonesian carrier. Lion Air also intends to adopt Honeywell’s “Stable Approach Monitor” (SAM) system for added situation awareness for their flight crew when it is available next year.

“Honeywell developed RDR-4000 advanced weather radar after listening to our Airline customers and working with them to create a product that meets their needs by advancing the technology innovations in weather hazard analysis and avoidance,” said Mike Madsen, Honeywell Aerospace Vice President, Airlines. “By providing longer range weather detection, automatic and more accurate assessment of real weather hazards, and discrimination of non-hazards, this system enables pilots to easily identify the best and most direct routing to avoid turbulence. This ensures a more comfortable ride, while saving fuel. This is a great example of how advanced technology can make things simple - reducing pilot workload, increasing safety and reducing fuel consumption.”

“Lion Air’s greatest focus is the safety of our passengers,” said Rusdi Kirana, President Director of Lion Air, “We selected Honeywell’s RDR-4000 weather radar and other safety products because they offer advanced safety features that aren’t available in other surveillance and information products.”

Honeywell’s 3-D Volumetric Weather Radar, RDR-4000, is the first and only weather radar system certified to the FAA’s Enhanced Turbulence Detection Minimum Operation Performance Standard (MOPS), providing pilots the ability to detect and avoid previously unforeseen turbulence. It is the first fully automatic weather radar system that decreases pilot workload and improves their in-flight decision making by offering weather analysis tools for viewing storms in three dimensions at up to 320 nautical miles ahead of the aircraft. These technological advances allow pilots to be better informed about air turbulence, windshears and overall weather conditions so they can make more informed route decisions — thereby increasing passenger comfort and safety — and decreasing weather-related costs due to injuries and aircraft damages. Honeywell’s advanced weather radar is the only commercial radar that utilizes pulse compression for greater accuracy at longer range – a technology used previously only in military radars. Honeywell’s advanced weather radar is currently operating as standard equipment on the Airbus A380 and the military C-17, and is specified as standard equipment on the Gulfstream 650 and Airbus A350 when they enter service. It is also certified and flying on the Boeing 777 and 737NG.

Lion Air will also equip their aircraft with Honeywell’s ACARS and intends to install Stable Approach Monitor (SAM) when it becomes available in 2009. SAM provides alerts to the pilots if the aircraft is approaching the runway in a way that could lead to an unsafe landing, such as too high or too fast. ACARS provides a secure satellite based network for communicating vital information, like ATC and AOC messages over a secure network.

Honeywell International is a $38 billion diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials. Based in Morris Township, N.J., Honeywell’s shares are traded on the New York, London and Chicago Stock Exchanges. For additional information, please visit www.honeywell.com.

Lion Training eLearning System (LTES)

Lion Training eLearning System (LTES) adalah system pembelajaran jarak jauh yang menggunakan fasilitas internet berupa website sebagai media komunikasinya.

Dengan diterapkannya eLearning tidak berarti interaksi siswa dengan instruktur menjadi hilang, tetapi format interaksinya yang mengalami transformasi. Interaksi yang awalnya tersentralisasi di dalam kelas kemudian dikombinasikan dengan interaksi virtual.
Keuntungan bagi instruktur dalam penggunaan Program eLearning System adalah bahwa proses revisi dan updating materi bisa dilakukan kapan saja dan dari mana saja, sepanjang terdapat koneksi internet untuk melakukan upload dan download materi. Instruktur akan memiliki cukup waktu guna penyempurnaan dan peningkatan kualitas materi.

Course baru bisa diakses ketika peserta sudah mendapatkan hak akses dari admin yang berupa login dan password. Untuk melihat Course yang sudah tersedia, silahkan klik menu Course categories (bila belum login) atau klik All Courses (bila telah login).
