FAA APPROVES STRUCTURAL LIFE LIMIT INCREASE FOR ECLIPSE 500/550

The change applies to all airframes with the extended tip tank modification that One Aviation’s president Ken Ross told Flying, “applies to virtually every Eclipse aircraft flying.” The update evolved after a long-term fatigue and damage test tolerance effort on both the aircraft structure and materials. The life limit change is automatic to existing and future Eclipse Jet owners, with no additional action necessary beyond continuing to perform the required structural inspections.

The previous 10,000-flight hour limit included a 10,000-cycle, as well as a 10-year limit. One Aviation said the new life limits apply only to U.S. “N” registered aircraft although the company is working with aviation authorities in other regions of the world to extend the life of all Eclipse aircraft.

A new lease on life is always welcome. One Aviation said last week the FAA had granted it just that by extending the structural life limit on the Eclipse 500 and 550 from 10,000 to 20,000 flight hours or 20,000 cycles, whichever occurs first.

Agency’s action doubles the operational life of very light jet.

The company posted quarterly revenue of $52.1M and deliveries of 32 aircraft. Compared to the company performance in 2016 through Q2, Piper Aircraft sales revenue has increased $10.7M year over year, which represents a 26% increase. Additionally Piper product deliveries have grown by 13 units, when compared to the same period in 2016, which is a 30% increase. Piper Archer deliveries continue to rise with more than three times the units delivered vs. 2016, registering a 228% increase. “Our commitment to a common sense, made to order approach, has been a key differentiator and is contributing to Piper’s success in this “new normal” market that we are all talking about. Our business model is made possible by our dedicated, experienced workforce, world class /full service Dealer Partners and a stable, long term focused ownership body.” said President and CEO, Simon Caldecott. “As we look forward to the second half of the year, we anticipate continued strong performance across our product line with a strategic focus on both Europe and Latin America.

PIPER’S DELIVERIES AND REVENUECONTINUE UPWARD TRENDIN Q2 2017VERO BEACH, Fla., August 7, 2017 -- Piper Aircraft Inc. announced today its aircraft sales and delivery results for the second quarter of 2017, ending June 30. The company continued to grow its new aircraft deliveries and revenue with sales of turbine, M-Class products leading the company’s performance success. Additionally, Piper trainer sales growth is being led by the proven Archer platform with sales backlog into Q3 2018.

The addition of the class-leading M600 continues to drive revenue growth. Additionally the demo tour of Europe and Africa has resulted in better than expected sales, with five aircraft sold today and several more pending. Furthermore, Piper’s offering of the only complete trainer product line is helping further augment sales and long-term commitments from some of the world’s leading flight training programs.

WELCOME TO NATIONAL AIRWAYS CORPORATION’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER TO THE AVIATION INDUSTRYHANGARTALK XPRESS 2

One Aviation’s “Project Canada” is now Eclipse 700

One Aviation’s “Project Canada” will now formally be known as the Eclipse 700, One Aviation chairman Alan Klapmeier announced yesterday at EAA AirVenture 2017. A cabin mockup and virtual reality presentation of the Eclipse 700 are on display this week at the show. Development work on the small twinjet is continuing, but One revealed this week that it has selected the Garmin G3000 avionics suite, Acme Aerospace lithium-ion battery system and PPG Alteos electronically dimmable interactive cabin windows using Nuance V2 shading by Vision Systems.

The Eclipse 700 features a four-foot longer wingspan, a 14-inch fuselage stretch and a longer horizontal stabilizer than the EA500/550 series. It will be powered by Williams FJ33 engines. Klapmeier said the changes not only give the 700 more speed and range, but make it “a real six-seater airplane. The changes that the 700 brings to this marketplace really do create a different market.” He cited the aircraft’s rate of climb, range, simplicity of operation and ability to get into smaller airports as appealing to customers.

Klapmeier said going with Garmin avionics will bring the aircraft more in line with contemporary standards and help “lower barriers to entry” for people to move into the airplane. He said the Williams engines provide ample thrust even on hot days at altitude, generating a 75-knot difference between the 550 and the 700 on such days and enabling an NBAA IFR range of 1,470 nm.

Klapmeier said the price for the new airplane remains at $3.6 million and that the company holds

approximately 30 orders, mostly from current Eclipse owners. He added that this does not include orders from China, where he thinks the aircraft will have considerable appeal. There will be a trade-in program for current Eclipse owners.

According to Klapmeier, the market for the Eclipse 700 is significantly larger than that for the EA500/550. He estimated that work on the Eclipse 700 could be finished within 18 to 24 months, contingent on raising capital. One Aviation is looking for an investment of $100 million to restructure the company overall and “less than $50 million” to finish the 700 in particular.“We feel very good about the interest in the airplane. It will be a new type certificate under the new simplified Part 23 requirements. We feel good about the certification schedule, because the FAA is being cooperative,” he said. “And we feel

BY MARK HUBER

good about the engineering schedule because the scale is so limited. So it is 18 to 24 months, and it is low enough risk so that the airplane will be in production before certification, so we can deliver them as soon as we get the paperwork.”

For now, the company’s Kestrel single-engine turboprop project has been shelved. “Everyone’s working on Canada,” he said.

BELL 505 JET RANGER X ENTRY INTO SERVICE UPDATES

LAST BELL LONGRANGER ROLLS OFF PRODUCTION LINE

BELL 525 RELENTLESS RESUMES FLIGHT TEST PROGRAM

Those are, Canada (Type Certification), Australia, Chile, Indonesia, Mexico, United States and Peru. There are additional countries who accept Canadian or FAA approvals for flight operations, thereby expanding the Bell 505’s reach even wider. Bell Helicopter continues to work with EASA and other aviation authorities to certify the JetRanger X around the world.

A few other notes:• Bell 505’s have been delivered to

customers in Canada, Guatemala and the U.S. as of July 2017

• The Bell Training Academy has surpassed 150 hours of flight time

“Today we have resumed a key element of the Bell 525 program,” said Mitch Snyder, president and CEO. “Bell Helicopter has worked with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and FAA since the accident and we are confident in the resumption of flight test activity.”

The Bell 525 is the world’s first fly-by-wire commercial helicopter and is designed to operate safely and reliably in austere environments with decreased pilot workload. The aircraft features the first fully-integrated touch screen avionics suite designed for helicopters, the Garmin G5000H®. Best-in-class payload, cabin, cargo volumes, and passenger comfort complement the technological advancements on the aircraft.

The Bell 525 is the world’s first fly-by-wire commercial helicopter and is designed to operate safely and reliably in austere environments with decreased pilot workload.

The Bell 505 is progressing through service entry and achieving milestones along the way. The aircraft achieved type validation from the FAA last month, bringing the total to seven countries who have approved it.

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced today the Bell 525 Relentless program has resumed flight test activity after receiving experimental certificate renewal from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The final Bell 206L4 LongRanger rolled off the assembly line at Mirabel, Quebec, at the end of last month. S/N 52496 was part of a last production batch that largely went to one customer—U.S.-based helicopter EMS service Air Evac, which currently operates a fleet of more than 130 LongRangers.

on each of its two 505’s.• Optional kit and equipment

certifications are progressing with the rotor brake, air conditioner, automatic door openers, wire strike protection and engine wash access panels receiving approvals during the past month.

• The Bell Commercial Demonstration Team received their first 505 Demonstrator on July 11. The aircraft was pressed quickly into service for an important customer demo in the US and will participate in the LABACE event in Brazil in August. Check out our new Bell Livery pictured above.

Bell has manufactured more than 3,800 LongRangers since production started in 1975. The stretched variant of the 206B JetRanger could accommodate seven occupants and was a favorite of offshore, air ambulance and law enforcement users. Bell shuttered JetRanger production in 2010 with the last model of that aircraft—the 206B3. Besides its longer cabin, the LongRanger features a more powerful Rolls-Royce 250-C30P engine; new cowlings, engine deck and mountings; a redesigned firewall; and increased tail rotor thrust.

The 206L has a useful load of 2,119 pounds, maximum range of 325 nm and 109-knot cruising speed. A Bell spokesman told AIN that the company intends to continue to support its out-of-production models. Although the LongRanger is now out of production, Bell will continue to produce its dynamic components, which are used in the new Model 505 Jet Ranger X.

The team is focused on certification in 2018 and

we are committed to bringing this innovative and high-performing helicopter to market, added Snyder.

CROSS COUNTRY IN THE BELL 505 JRX

LegacyThe Bell 206 started life as a project that almost wasn’t. The original design dubbed the Bell YOH-4 was unsuccessful in securing the Army design contract it was created to fill. Bell was not discouraged, however, and resubmitted the design as the D-250 in 1961 for the United States Navy design competition. In 1962, the Bell design was awarded a further development contract after the prototype was selected out of a field of twelve other manufacturers to continue to test phase. The original design of the 206 was

referred to by military aviators at the time as the “ugly duckling,” the helicopters appearance, one of the factors that saw it eliminated from selection after the flight testing phase in favor of the Hughes OH-6. The initial military version was only capable of seating three crew, had limited cargo space; in addition to the early appearance of what was to become the Bell 206 being a far cry from the modern shape still seen today.

Bell’s success with the redesigned more sleek and appealing 206A model was one that would

HOW DOES IT PERFORM? become a feat that is currently unequaled in the helicopter industry and an ongoing legacy that will be hard to beat for any current competitor. The 206 airframe would go on to have great success in military markets as the OH-58 and produce over eight thousand airframes sold to almost every country in the world performing a wide variety of missions over the nearly fifty years that Bell produced variations of the 206 airframes.

The BeginningWith the formal announcement and prototype unveiling of the Bell 505 JRX at Heli-Expo in 2014 in Anaheim California, Bell knew the potential existed to develop a helicopter that could again eclipse the market in the short light single market. Initial customer interest was at a level not seen in many years as potential buyers lined up to take their first look at the mock-ups on the floor of the show and put down their deposits for a spot in the delivery line.

Fast forward to December 22nd, 2017 and the long-awaited initial certification of the 505 was granted by Transport Canada after extensive testing, evaluations, resulting in hundreds of minor adjustments and tweaks. Bell’s three test vehicles completed hundreds of hours of testing during development that would eventually lead to the aircraft’s successful certification.

Initial CertificationCanadian certification opened up the doors for Bell to begin to train clients that would soon be able to start accepting delivery of their new helicopters. Training commenced at

Bell Helicopter headquarters in Hurst, Texas at the company’s Training Center shortly after certification. Beginning with the training of factory pilots that would start training for new pilots flying the airframe. Company pilots were instructed by Bell’s Mirabel-based test pilots, progressing to a handful of customers just weeks before this year’s Heli-Expo in Dallas. The timing, also opening up opportunities for Bell to conduct demo flights during Heli-Expo to further showcase the results of years of development and an unconventional approach to developing this airframe, involving input from a select group of industry professionals and customers. This approach to development, starting years before the 2014 Heli-Expo unveiling.

Bell’s unique approach would shape the development of the helicopter in a way that would see it not only have the features that many customers wanted – but bring the helicopter to market many years sooner than traditional helicopters developed from the ground up. This thanks to the use of legacy parts that included the main rotor blades, rotor head, tail rotor blades, drive train and transmission from the already certified 206 L4 airframe. Shaving years of development, testing and certification delays common with airframes built from the ground up. With the legacy approach, costs dropped significantly from that of a newly designed helicopter, making the 505 not only fast but cost-effective.

The FAA certification for the Bell 505 JRX which was expected to be a mere formality did not arrive in short order behind the Canadian certification

as expected for Bell. The significant delay in certification that upon further investigation, led to unconfirmed reports of further testing requested by the FAA to be carried out by Bell to prove the airworthiness and safe performance of an inlet barrier filter system that was already in use on various other aircraft without issue. Nonetheless, the FAA required Bell to complete that testing again along with some other small items that had also already been verified through Canadian testing to satisfy the requirements of the certification process.

The Final StepCertification of the 505 was granted by Australia’s CASA in late April of 2017, with the FAA finally following suit on June 8th, 2017 granting final approval for U.S. certification. The last move by the FAA, although longer than expected, opened the floodgates for Bell to finally begin ramping up the production line at their Mirabel, Canada manufacturing facility. Bell wasted no time in announcing the delivery of three more Bell 505’s to a Canadian customer on June 15th of this year.

DetractorsIt appears of late that there are some in the industry who have already discredited the 505 without having the chance to fly the 505 Jetranger X or even seeing the helicopter in person. Some pilots, commenting on social media appearing intent to discredit the helicopter based on its appearance alone. Ranging from one end of the spectrum to the other, commentary that likened the design of the 505 to that of an anteater to those who state their distaste emphatically

for the 505’s modern appearance, skid shape, height, and other cosmetic references. Looking for minor issues to express their dislike in scenes reminiscent of almost every newly designed helicopter released in the last decade featuring any drastic appearance change. Many have focused attention on Bell’s use of legacy L4 parts, labeling the new short light single as a “206 with a new skin.”

BELL 505 JRX CONTINUED

The original OH-4 pitched as a contender for two military contracts was a far cry from the 206 that was to become one of the worlds most popular

helicopter types.

The Bell 505 JRX flew effortlessly over varying terrain in a hot and high environment that would have challenged

its predecessors during our cross country flight.

The Bell 505 JRX went through a rigorous certification and testing program before the first certification was issued by Transport Canada on December 22, 2016.

The first Bell 505 JRX to be certified was delivered to Scott Urschel, President of Pylon Aviation. Urschel was

an integral part of the customer panel that helped shape what the Bell 505 was to become.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY NOW AVAILABLE FOR ROBINSON R66

Torrance, CA— On 14 July 2017, Robinson Helicopter Company added the TB17 Lithium-ion battery to its R66 options. TB17 by True Blue Power, a division of Mid-Continent Instrument, offers substantial weight savings, improved starter performance and longer life.

At 16 lb., the TB17 is significantly lighter than the R66’s standard battery which weighs 42 lb. and the optional high-capacity battery which weighs 52 lb. Lithium-ion chemistry holds a higher charge voltage and provides a more constant discharge rate than lead-acid delivering consistent, more reliable turbine starts. The battery’s internal heater enhances functionality in cold temperatures as low as -40°C. Typical battery life is 8 years with minimal required maintenance (visual inspection and capacity check) every 2 years.

The TB17 battery passed rigorous manufacturer and FAA tests to ensure safety. A cockpit indicator warns the pilot if a battery fault is detected. During fault conditions, the battery automatically takes itself off-line. Built-in circuitry prevents overcharge and/or overheating, and the TB17’s advanced Nanophosphate® chemistry is much less susceptible to thermal runaway than many other Lithium-ion batteries.

Now available on new aircraft – $6,900.

Founded in 1973, Robinson Helicopter Company is the world’s leading manufacturer of civil helicopters.

MOUNTAIN FLIGHT TRAINING FAMILIARISATION COURSEOn the 28th – 30th of July 2017, our annual mountain flying familiarisation course took place at Cathedral Peak hotel and surrounding areas. The purpose of our trip was to familiarise the pilot with the intricacies of mountainous flying, including and not limited to, resultant weather systems, reserve power management due to high altitude operations (up to 10000 feet AMSL), the effect of wind on the aircraft, to recognize updrafts and downdrafts as well as the recovery from hazardous flight situations.

Furthermore our course included pinnacle landings, valley operations and resultant hazards. Our trip started on 28 of July at 08:30, after a short briefing a total of 11 helicopters were fuelled and pre- flighted, ready for take-off. The helicopters were divided into two groups flying as “NAC Formation 1” and “NAC Formation 2”, we lifted off from Rand Airport, routing directly to Cathedral Peak hotel, a trip of approximately 160 nautical miles.

Once all the helicopters arrived safely at Cathedral Peak hotel, the helicopters were refuelled, ready to start the training program, six flight instructors completed a total of eight flights each, training approximately 40 pilots during the weekend, after a very busy flight schedule and a job well done, “sundowners” were served in celebration, leaving time to reminisce.

We would like to extend a thank you to all involved that made our trip memorable and educational thereby promoting safety.

Cathedral Peak Hotel never ceases to impress us with their hospitality and culinary skill, presenting an unforgettable buffet including breakfast, light lunch and dinner. Surrounded by awe inspiring scenery.A special thank you to our manager at NAC Training, Vicky Sankey, to commend her meticulous organisational skills for arranging a seamless flight training schedule and related logistics.

Looking forward to our next trip to Cathedral Peak!

NAC HELICOPTER OPERATIONS TO THE RESCUE!

What started out as a normal Saturday on the 22nd July, took an interesting turn at around 15:00 PM.

About 125 people were suddenly left stranded on top of the Hartbeespoort Mountain when a mechanical failure caused the cable car service to be shut down. With sunset steadily approaching, a plan needed to be made quickly. The call was made and 40 minutes later, NAC was on the scene with the Bell 407 (ZS-HVW). With only an hour and a half left before it got dark, all were safely accounted for at the bottom of the mountain.

The cableway was closed while engineers conducted a full inspection to find out the cause of the mechanical failure.

A massive thank you is in order for our flight and ops crew who responded so quickly to the emergency. Rudi and Richard, well done.

There were no injuries, and no one was in danger. It is just amazing

that the safety plan we had put together over five years ago came into operation and ran like clockwork, said General Manager, Lian Gunn.

NAC FLY AWAY BY DENEYS POTGIETER

NAC undertook their 9th Fly Away during June 2017.

The next stop was a town is the eastern Freestate bordering Lesotho; Ficksburg. Being pilots, JP en Deneys visited Ficksburg Airfield first where they met with Anita Hughes, the owner of the Airfield. It was immediately apparent that this airfield offers ample parking for aircraft and helicopters. At sunset, it was time to meet the Guest House owners to establish what they can offer on accommodation, etc.

The next day, a surprise awaited the Gautengers! Traveling east bound, the two gents took the turnoff toward Sandstone Estate. At the dusty turnoff, a herd of tame Afrikaner oxen, grazing luscious green fodder, stood tame and proud. Following the dirt road, they entered the Estate to meet with friendly office staff. After a quick meeting explaining all detail of the venture, the 2 gentlemen met with an amazing tour guide by the name of Seun. With utmost enthusiasm, he showed JP and Deneys around; eventually the Gautengers had to damp his spirit as they had to be in Johannesburg for early evening meetings.

It all started in November 2016 when JP Fourie and Deneys Potgieter crossed the Vaal River venturing into Parys, a town nestled next to the River. Various meetings were held to establish what Parys offers apart from the usual art attractions. Meeting with a senior tour guide at a Lodge next to the river, it was decided to learn more about the Vredefort Crater. Listening to what Jan Fourie had to say, Parys and surrounds would be the 1st stop of the 2017 Fly Away.

The mission is complete; 2nd place to overnight. It will be a steam train ride on 29km of narrow gauge tracks from Vailima siding, past the Main Station and complete the ride to the grass runway on the Estate and back to the Waenhuis Café.

Everybody in the group of about 50 eager people tremendously enjoyed the 2017 NAC Fly Away. The visit to Sandstone Estate being the highlight: steam train ride, beef potjie brewed to excellence and a tour of old army stock, vehicles, tractors and agricultural equipment and above all, a steam train ride with steam bellowing from the shiny black locomotive and ever so often the whistle blowing its tune to everybody’s delight!

Many friends wowed to visit Sandstone Estate again and of course; bring friends along to experience this unique heritage.



WOMEN IN AVIATIONSome of the aircraft on NAC’s charter fleet was recently used as backdrops for a Miss Teen

photo shoot. The shoot formed part of an awareness campaign for Women in Aviation.



All journeys to become a commercial pilot begin with that first inflight training experience. So what can you expect to get out of this memorable experience?

Take Control Once you have reached a safe altitude and are a distance from the airport, your instructor will give you a little control, which will obviously be guided. This is when he or she will give you a lot of new practical information on flying. You will head back to the airport after substantial time has been spent in the air.

Landing

Once you have received the air traffic control instructions, you will follow the traffic pattern to land. This is said to be the most thrilling part of your first flight.

De-Brief Once you have landed you will be de-briefed by your instructor.

This flight will mark the start of your flying career and be will be an experience that you will remember forever.

WHAT CAN A COMMERCIAL PILOT EXPECT ON THEIR FIRST INFLIGHT TRAINING EXPERIENCE

Preflight Check After reaching the dispatch room where you will wait to be greeted by your instructor, he or she will take you to the aircraft that was assigned to you for this unforgettable flight. You will then do a 10 to 15-minute preflight check by walking around the aircraft to make sure all is as it should be. Your instructor will explain everything throughout the check.

Seating After the check, you will sit on the right side of the aeroplane and put your headphones on to be able to hear the air traffic controller and your instructor, otherwise known as the pilot in command. This will allow you to hear all the instructions from both whiles in flight.

Checks The gauges will need to be checked before starting up the engine and taxiing to the runway. Your instructor will talk to ground control and do one last aeroplane check before takeoff.

Take off

You will then get to enjoy the exhilarating feeling of lifting off the ground as you watch the world pass you by.

PARTNERSHIP ADDS VALUE TO THE SILVER FALCONS

The airport was Lanseria International, west of Pretoria and north-west of Johannesburg and the occasion was part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the SA Air Force’s aerobatic team. Lanseria was the selected landing site because it is home to the headquarters of National Airways Corporation (NAC) which has been closely involved with the team for the past four years.

“At the end of 2013 NAC announced it would be supplying the Silver Falcons with a complete range of team apparel to improve and bolster the team’s image and ensure the uniformity and professionalism shown in the air is also reflected in the team’s interactions with the South African public while travelling,” said Martin Banner, chief executive of NAC.

On completion of their tight and complicated aerobatic routines the Silver Falcon team members generally interact with air show crowds to fly the SAAF (SA Air Force) flag and contribute to the public image of South Africa’s military aviators.

The Falcons will in November this year have a reunion at AFB Langebaanweg to mark their 50th anniversary and plans are for it to be followed, a week or two later, by an air show at the Western Cape air force base.

What is also not widely known about the Falcons is that the team has its own commemorative medallion.

In May this year the Silver Falcons, to many the flagbearers of one of the oldest air forces in the world, touched down for the first time as a team at a civilian airport outside of performing a display.

It was the brainchild of then team leader, Major Beau Skarda, who five years ago

was instrumental in the design and production of the medallions.

Each and every Silver Falcon to date has been presented with one, carrying the name and team number of the pilot.

As with apparel and related items, the medallions were sponsored by NAC and

are in the words of NAC corporate service manager Karin Roodt “a special item for the

few that have earned them”.

The medallions are based on the challenge coin military aviators carry with them, Roodt explained.

“There are several stories detailing the origins of the challenge coin. The most common has it that challenge coins originated during World War I. American volunteers from all parts of the country filled the newly formed flying squadrons. Some were wealthy scions attending colleges such as Yale and Harvard who quit in mid-term to join the war. In one squadron, a wealthy lieutenant ordered medallions struck in solid bronze and presented them to his unit. One young pilot placed the medallion in a small leather pouch he wore around his neck.

BY KIM HELFRICH

“Shortly after being presented with the medallion, the pilot’s aircraft was severely damaged by ground fire. He was forced to land behind enemy lines and was captured by a German patrol. To discourage escape the Germans

took all his personal identification except for the small leather pouch

around his neck. The unfortunate downed and captured flier was taken

to a small French town near the front. Taking advantage of a night bombardment he escaped without personal identification. He succeeded in avoiding German patrols by donning civilian attire and reached the front lines. With great difficulty, he crossed no-man’s land and eventually stumbled onto a French outpost.

“Unfortunately, saboteurs plagued the French in that specific sector. They sometimes masqueraded as civilians and wore civilian clothes. Not recognising the young pilot’s American accent, the French thought him to be a saboteur and prepared to execute him. He had no identification to prove his allegiance, but he did have his leather pouch containing the medallion. He showed the medallion to his would-be executioners. One of his French captors recognised the squadron insignia on the medallion and his execution was delayed long enough for him to confirm his identity. Instead of shooting him they gave him a bottle of wine.

“Safely back at his squadron, it became tradition to ensure all members carried their medallion or coin at all times. This was accomplished through challenge with a challenger asking to see the medallion. If the challenged could not produce a medallion, they were required to buy a drink of choice for the member who challenged them. If the challenged member produced a medallion, then the challenging member was required to pay for the drink. This tradition continued throughout the war and for many years afterwards while surviving squadron members were still alive.

“This tradition is still kept alive today and, needless to say, no Silver Falcon team member will be caught without his or her medallion!”

In combination the Silver Falcons and NAC have 120 years of aviation history between them and the NAC chief is confident more milestones will be marked in years to come.

Banner sees the NAC/Silver Falcons association as natural. “We are always looking to engage new audiences and explore new affiliations beyond the traditional or the expected. We have been and remain delighted to sponsor the Silver Falcons. NAC’s vision of creating and maintaining a high performance aviation team aligns strongly with the Silver Falcons’ vision.

“Teamwork – whether in business or flying – inspires people and communities to have a collective vision and NAC has shown its commitment to encouraging an environment where businesses can create lasting economic value in their communities.”

HOT AND HIGH OPERATIONS As we are currently in the middle of summer in some of the countries we operate in, this month’s Safety Newsletter is dedicated to Hot and High Operations.

DESCRIPTIONHot and High Operations refer to a combination of aerodrome altitude and temperature which have a detrimental effect on aircraft performance.

There is no “universal” definition of the concept of “high and hot”. As the possible combinations of altitude and temperature affect the performance of different aircraft to varying degrees, this article will focus on the simplified

aerodynamics and consequences of “hot and high” operations and leave it to the reader to apply the information to their specific aircraft and type of operations.

ENGINE PERFORMANCEThere are many factors which limit aircraft engine performance. From a pilot perspective, only two of these are critical when determining take-off performance and maximum take-off weight. These are: maximum operating temperature

and maximum power output. Temperature can be measured as Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT), Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), Interstage Turbine Temperature (ITT) or cylinder head temperature, and power can be measured in terms of thrust, torque, fan speed, pressure ratio (EPR) or horsepower. At low altitudes and ambient temperatures, the engine will be limited by its rated maximum power output. At high altitudes or temperatures, the engine will be limited by its maximum allowable temperature. The crossover point between power limitation and temperature limitation is a function of the engine and, to an extent, the airframe on which it is installed. On older aircraft engines, the pilot is responsible for determining the limiting parameter and manipulating the thrust/power lever to ensure that it is not exceeded. On newer engines with FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) the engine will limit the power or temperature in accordance with the take-off conditions. Note that the engine may be flat rated below its maximum capable thrust. In this case, the engine output will be constant and will be limited to the rated thrust

Continue on page 21

up until the point that ambient conditions of altitude and/or temperature result in the engine reaching its limiting temperature. Should the ambient temperature or altitude be increased beyond this threshold, the engine will no longer be capable of producing rated thrust as it is now temperature limited.

HOT AND HIGH OPERATIONS CONTINUEDOPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES From the above discussion, it is apparent that the operational consequences of “hot and high” conditions could result in any or all of the following”

Engines are “temperature limited” and maximum thrust/torque/power is not available

Lift generation is reduced

Maximum take-off weight may be limited

The IAS/TAS relationship will result in higher speeds over the ground in all phases of flight

Due to reduced thrust, lift generation and higher ground speed for a given IAS, take-off roll will be increased

Rate of climb will be reduced

Radius of turn will increase

Missed approach climb capability will be reduced

Stopping distance will be increased (stopping distance is related to mass x TAS squared)

Maximum tyre rotation speed may be compromised on take-off or on landing.

MITIGATING STRATEGIESIn all circumstances, performance calculations must take density altitude into consideration when calculating maximum take-off weight, climb gradient, missed approach climb gradient and stopping distance.

In addition, the following items should be considered to reduce the impact of “hot and high” operations:

Plan operations around the coolest time of the day

Use the runway which provides for the best aircraft performance (usually, but not always, the longest runway)

Limit payload or plan for an intermediate fuel stop at an en-route airfield.

Avoid tailwind operations and be mindful of maximum tyre speed

Allow for increased turn radius when manoeuvring

Ensure that engine at take-off thrust/torque/power is meeting charted values

Where charts are provided, calculate an acceleration/time profile

Fly the aircraft in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines

If you were born on an airliner in the US in this decade and never got off you would encounter your first fatal accident when you were 2300 years of age and you would still have a 29% chance of being one of the survivors.” — Les Lautman, Safety Manager Boeing Commercial Airplane Company, 1989.

Interesting Fact:

Shaun Starke, International Operations Safety Officer



In the case of Rainbow Kids preschool and the building of the baby room we employed a local carpenter that stays two streets down from Rainbow Kids, Molatelo Dakalo Mudau, thus ensuring that the funds received stayed in the area. We also tried where possible to use local suppliers in the area, before sourcing materials elsewhere.

Rainbow Kids –Preschool and CrècheThe following improvements were made to the preschool:

1. The baby room was insulated, waterproofed and painted. Local community members painted the inside walls to brighten it up. Rubberised flooring completed the insulation. The roof was sealed and fixed;

2. Industrial water pipe/hose and fittings was purchased to fill the water tank. The water tank now only gets filled once a week and they have timed the filling process to make life a bit easier. The small garden that provides fresh vegetables to the kitchen is now green and growing with the water supply.

3. A new gas stove was installed in the kitchen area.

4. Soft toys and educational toys were donated to the school by friends of the NCT.

Canada proposes new rules for pilot fatiguePilots feel the legislation is insufficient to increase safety. Industry reps fear a pilot shortage will stem from the new rules. Proposal calls for decreased consecutive flight hrs from 14 to a number between 9 and 13 depending on the time of the day the flight takes off. Proposal also decreases the number of flight hrs in a year per pilot from 1200 to 1000 hrs. This total matches a number of other countries. Canadian citizens, industry reps and flight crews may comment on the draft regulations thru 9/29/17.
