6,000 aircraft needed the software update and 1,000 needed
hardware upgrades.
Immediate software change on ‘significant number’ of jets to
result in disruption to half the worldwide fleet.
Airlines around the world cancelled and delayed flights heading into
the weekend after Airbus announced on Friday that it had ordered
immediate repairs to 6,000 of its A320 family of jets in a recall
affecting more than half of the global fleet.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the main
certifying authority for A320 aircraft, issued the instruction on
Friday night as a precautionary action, saying that “safety is
paramount”.
The US Federal Aviation Administration also issued an emergency
airworthiness directive for certain Airbus planes, requiring the
aircraft to replace or modify specific software.
The fix mainly involves reverting to earlier software and is
relatively simple, but must be carried out before the planes can fly
again, according to the bulletin to airlines seen by Reuters.
Of the 6,000 jets affected, a sub-set will need a time-consuming
hardware change rather than a quick software fix, though the number
that require more extensive fixes was smaller than the initial
estimates of 1,000, Airbus said.
The setback appears to be among the largest Airbus recalls in its
55-year history and comes weeks after the A320 overtook the Boeing
737 as the most-delivered model. At the time Airbus issued its
bulletin to the plane’s more than 350 operators, about 3,000
A320-family jets were in the air.
The recall came over the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, but Delta
said it expected the issue to affect fewer than 50 of its A321neo
aircraft. United said six planes in its fleet were affected and it
expected minor disruptions to a few flights. Hawaiian Airlines said
it was unaffected.
The world’s largest A320 operator, American Airlines, said 209 of
its 480 A320 aircraft would need the fix. It said it mostly expected
these to be completed by Saturday, with about two hours required for
each plane.
A spot on the sun 10
times larger than Earth has been seen on the solar surface— and its appearance coincided
with a massive solar flare.
This is the most complex sun
spot region we have seen this cycle and in quite a while. It is
showing some serious complexity and will be earth facing over the
next 12 days. Would you fly?
Sunspots are areas
of intense and complex magnetic fields that produce solar eruptions,
according to NASA.
Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X1.9 class solar flare at 02:49
UTC on Dec. 1, 2025. It came in the wake of a couple of weaker
M-class solar flares.
Massive Sunspot
The massive sunspot,
dubbed AR 4294-96, is one of the biggest seen in a decade and
expected to be the source of solar flares over the next few weeks,
but Dec. 1's solar flare actually came from a smaller one called AR
4295, according to SpaceWeather.com.
Solar flares alone
do not cause displays of aurora at Earth. Large solar X-ray flares
can change Earth’s ionosphere, causing radio blackouts on the
day-side of the Earth, according to NOAA.
This one saw a blackout in Australia.
The electromagnetic
radiation from a solar flare travels at the speed of light, taking
just eight minutes to reach Earth. It’s what can follow in the
aftermath of a big solar flare — a coronal mass ejection — that
can lead to geomagnetic storms. That’s when an aurora can develop.

St. Mary is The Daughter of Zion = The Woman
“Clothed with THE SUN” = The Ark of The Covenant
🧕 The
Mother God, St. Mary, the New Ark of the Covenant
In
the Book of Revelation (11:19) the Ark of the Covenant appears again,
this time in the Celestial Temple in fulfillment of the prophecy of
Jeremiah. This vision of The Ark leads
immediately in revelation to the vision of the woman clothed with THE
SUN who was with child (rev. 12:1). The image is that of Mary,
presented as Mother of the Messiah and spiritual Mother of Israel,
the New Ark of the Covenant.
🧕 Mary
as the Ark of the New Covenant – Revelation
Rev:
11:19 “19 Then the sanctuary of God in heaven opened, and the ark
of the covenant could be seen inside it. Then came flashes of
lightning, peals of thunder and an earthquake and violent hail.”
Immediately
following this verse we read of the “woman, robed with the sun,
standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of TWELVE/ 12stars”. The Ark of the Covenant as we have seen above, is none
other than Mary, Jesus’ mother, so Mary is the woman spoken of
here. (Remember that chapter numbers were only added to the bible in
the twelth century, and verse numbers in the sixteenth century.)
Rev:
12:1 “1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with
the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve
stars.
Rev
12: 4-5 “4 Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and
hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the
woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat
the child as soon as it was born.
5
The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the
nations with an iron sceptre, and the child was taken straight up to
God and to his throne,”
The
Boy is Jesus, who is “to rule all the
nations with an iron sceptre” according to the prophecy of Psalm 2
.
Psalm
2: 8-9 “8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the nations as your
birthright, the whole wide world as your possession.
9
With an iron sceptre you will break them, shatter them like so many
pots.’ )
The
Boy’s Mother Is Mary
Rev:
12:17 “17 Then the dragon was enraged with the woman and went away
to make war on the rest of her children, who obey God’s
commandments and have in themselves the witness of Jesus.”
And
in verse 17 Mary’s children are those “who obey God’s
commandments and have in themselves the witness of Jesus”, that is
all of us Christians.
Ps
132:8 “Go up, Yahweh, to your resting-place, you and the ark of
your strength.”
❖ The
Ark of the Covenant had the power to bless and curse, and that it was
the dwelling place of God's presence. (1
Samuel 4:3-7). The Ark of Covenant Can
Destroy An Entire Planet & Everything on It (Revelation
11:19).
Our Mother St Mary is
called “Tsion”. It means a mount, something that you would hide
yourself in. When God told Lot to escape because he going to destroy
Sodom and Gomorrah he told him “Escape for your life! Do not look
behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains,
lest you be destroyed.” Genesis 19: 17. Our fathers symbolize St.
Mary as the mountain that Lot hid in. King David also said “His
foundation is in the holy mountains. The Lord loves the gates of Zion
More than all the dwellings of Jacob.” Psalm 87:1. After stating
that our Virgin Mary is the dwelling place of God and that she is
also our refuge King David Continued to say “For the Lord has
chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: This is My
resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it”
Psalm 132:13.
Just like The Ark of
Covenant is where the commandments of God is written, God the Son
dwelled in St. Mary. Kudus Efriem said in wdasie Mariam ZeArb
(Friday) “ኮንኪ ታቦቶ
ለፈጣሬ ሰማያት ወምድር” You have
became the resting-place for the creator of the Heaven and earth.
Axum, a Holy City in
Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, whose main Church of Our Lady
Mary of Zion is believed by Ethiopian Orthodox Christians to hold The
Biblical Ark of The Covenant.
