The Zvezda service module transfer tunnel, known as PrK, has suffered from cracks and leaks for some time, and has been mitigated by Roscosmos as much as possible to date. The cracks have always been a concern that NASA watches very closely. NASA and Roscosmos have been working to determine the root cause of the cracks, and Roscosmos manages the issue through operational mitigation measures and periodic partial-repair efforts. Following new leaks, Roscosmos has elected to proceed with a more extensive repair operation on Friday, June 5. Out of an abundance of caution, NASA has directed all four of the agency's SpaceX Crew-12 members and NASA astronaut Chris Williams to assume an elevated safety posture in the Dragon spacecraft while the repair is underway. We continue to work with our Russian counterparts, along with the rest of the international community that supports the space station, to arrive at a more permanent resolution.
NASA ordered astronauts aboard the International Space Station to shelter inside their docked spacecraft and prepare for possible evacuation. The directive follows worsening air leaks detected on the station's Russian segment.

@brianofarabia Out of curiosity: so you hold a CPL/ATPL without previously having obtained an MEP?
I understand this is possible, just that I thought it was quite uncommon.

Lo del canvi de configuració de pistes a BCN de nit (23h) és insostenible i gens adequat. Ens autoritzen des de BISBA a la 24R però ens redueixen velocitat. Ja havia preparat la 02 al FPL secundari. Als 5 minuts reautoritzats a la BISBA 5N per la 02.
NEW: World's longest-range aircraft, the Airbus A350-1000ULR has taken to the skies for the first time, completing a three hour 43 minute flight at an altitude of 41,000 feet.
The A350-1000ULR is being developed for Qantas Airways to enable non-stop flights between Sydney and London for the first time ever - a distance of almost 10,000 nautical miles, with flight times of up to 22 hours. This is made possible primarily by the integration into the aircraft structure of an additional rear centre tank (RCT), enhancing further the aircraft performance and increasing the range of the aircraft by 1,000 nautical miles.
