Aviation Humor?
The Copilot I am the copilot. I sit on the right. It's up to me to be quick and bright; I never talk back for I have regrets, But I have to remember what the Captain forgets. I make out the Flight Plan and study the weather, Pull up the gear, stand by to feather; Make out the mail forms and do the reporting, And fly the old crate while the Captain is courting. I take the readings, adjust the power, Put on the heaters when we're in a shower; Tell him where we are on the darkest night, And do all the bookwork without any light. I call for my Captain and buy him cokes; I always laugh at his corny jokes, And once in awhile when his landings are rusty I always come through with, "By gosh it's gusty!" All in all I'm a general stooge, As I sit on the right of the man I call "Scrooge"; I guess you think that is past understanding, But maybe some day he will give me a land— Keith Murray ing. The TAILDRAGGER Taildragger, I hate your guts, I have the license , ratings and such But to make you go straight is driving me nuts. With hours of teaching and the controls in my clutch It takes a little rudder, easy, that's too much. You see, I learned to fly in a tricycle gear with one up front and two in the rear. She was sleek and clean and easy to steer But this miserable thing with tires and struts Takes a little rudder, easy, that's too much. It demands your attention on the take-off roll Or it'll head towards Jones's as you pour on the coal. Gotta hang loose, don't over control. This wicked little plane is just too much With a lot of zigzagging and words obscene I think I've mastered this slippery machine. It's not that bad if you have the touch Just a little rudder, easy, that's too much. I relax for a second and from the corner of my eye, I suddenly realize with a gasp and a cry That's my own tail that's going by. You ground looping wreck; I hate your guts, Give a little rudder, Great Scott, THAT'S TOO MUCH. Author unknown More Humor Next Month. . . . . . . . .

Need Hangar Insurance?
RAF Boosting Chinook Helicopter Fleet with New Builds and Rebuilds By: Chris Pocock, January 18, 2010,Aircraft, Aircraft Photo by Chris Pocock
Ta l k t o u s a b o u r o u r N E W coverage & price options! The UK Royal Air Force (RAF) plans to order 22 new Chinooks, in its latest response to widespread criticism over the shortage of heavy helicopter lift to support British troops in Afghanistan. Last September, the RAF announced for its existing fleet of 38 Chinooks a $650 million upgrade program named Project Julius that consists of a cockpit upgrade and more powerful engines. In November, the service deployed some of its AgustaWestland Merlin HC.2 helicopters to Afghanistan for the first time. This month, the RAF took delivery of the first of eight new Chinook Mk3s that were stored for eight years after delivery, because of a procurement failure (see picture). These aircraft were supposed to be tailored for the use of British Special Forces, but their avionics software did not meet UK military airworthiness standards. The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) acknowledged that Boeing fulfilled its contractual obligations; the fault lay in the British decision to save money by combining analog and digital avionic systems. The aircraft have undergone “heart surgery,” according to British Defence Minister Bob Ainsworth. A team led by Boeing and also comprising AgustaWestland and QinetiQ has renewed the display screens, black boxes and wirings–more than 100 looms had to be replaced. The eight aircraft are being delivered to almost the same standard as the Project Julius upgrade. But they retain the larger fuel tanks along the fuselage that distinguished them from the RAF’s standard HC.2s. By the time that all eight HC.3s are delivered, the UK Ministry of Defence will have spent an additional $261 million on them, after an original acquisition cost of $414 million (in 2001 prices).

THE AVIATION MARKET HAS CHANGED AND IS STILL CHANGING...
A
fter the recent aviation market collapse (aircraft in particular), and a host of many other disheartening economic factors, many aircraft values are still on a downhill slide. This is more so in the USA than in Canada, however as always what happens in the USA usually affects industries in Canada. The most affected aircraft are the high-end singles and twins that have a high fuel burn, on top of that, the market for all the old “classics” i.e. C172’s, PA-18’s, Mooney’s and others of that type is shrinking fast as more modern aircraft are replacing the aging fleet.
Now may be a good time to buy if your in a position to do so. Many prices have declined up to 30% off of the last year. In many cases aircraft prices in Canada and the USA have been 20% to 30% higher than they should have been to begin with. This recession may possibly a reality check in Canada and the USA. Be sure to get an updated price quote to make sure you that you’re not paying last years’ price, and don’t just take the word of one party, ask some one else, afterall it’s your money. Selling an aircraft, the news is not too good, but an accurate quote from a credited appraiser will at least prepare you for the real, present market, as well as making sure you don’t take too little from unfounded rumors or charge too much and loose a potential sale for a few dollars more. Aircraft Insurance, if you own a plane and plan on keeping it, you may be paying hundreds of dollars too much by over-insuring it at past values. Make sure you contact your aircraft insurance broker to give you current market prices, which he will have in keeping up to date with the market. An reputable aircraft insurance broker who takes pride in his or her service will work for you to get he best prices possible. WHAT NOT TO DO AND WHAT TO DO! Don’t use “ball-park” values from aircraft web Everything Aircraft
sites and listings in many of the aviation magazines, chances are the people listing these aircraft may not using current prices and their listing prices will reflect 20% to 30% more than the aircraft is actually worth. The only way to get an accurate value is to get into the detailed items and conditions of the aircraft. Remember some dealers and brokers will use a common book price and ballpark items glanced at and give you a price. If you have every bought any avionics or had engine and airframe work done, you well know that these items are very expensive and should be priced accordingly. Many sellers “leave money-on-the-table” and do not realize they are loosing money. Take avionics, for example. The value of a DME will add to an aircraft if there’s no GPS on board, but it will have less value and appeal with dual GNS 430’s. Another example is that a second glideslope receiver may cost just as much as the first, but the added value is not the same. A good certified appraiser would pick up on this. REMEMBER that many high asking prices are just that. A proper certified appraisal will save the buyer money and prevent the owner from loosing money. For what-it-costs to pay for a certified appraiser to do an accurate market value analysis will in the long run save you money and instill confidence in the buyer. Working together will result in a good deal for both seller and buyer. Don’t be taken in on the many computer appraisals, there is nothing that will take the place of a hands-on certified aircraft appraiser who will have many years of experience with aircraft, engines, avionics, airframes and can tell you what your aircraft has and it’s market value or what the aircraft your buying has or has not. Keep in mind that many reputable aircraft appraisers who are certified must have in-depth knowledge and proven qualifications before they become a certified aircraft appraiser. Do your homework and you will be surprised the results will more than likely be in your favor. . . . . EA

PIPER APPOINTS NEW EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT VERO BEACH, Fla., April 1, 2010
R
andy Groom, an experienced senior executive and prominent aviation professional with more than 36 years of leadership roles in general aviation, is the new Executive Vice President of Piper Aircraft, Inc. He will report to Piper President & CEO Kevin J. Gould. In making the announcement, Gould said that Piper selected Groom, 56, after an extensive search to find just the right fit to continue building and expanding Piper`s market share across all model lines and to take Piper`s customer experience to new levels of performance. “Randy`s extensive experience and superb track record in General Aviation are the credentials that we looked for in filling this strategic position,” said Gould. “Randy knows the business from both sides of the aisle. As a seasoned corporate executive and a professional with extensive dealership experience, he has the breadth of knowledge and experience that are vital to Piper`s growth strategy. Perhaps most important, we want our customers to know that Randy's addition to the team is further evidence of our commitment to providing them industry-leading customer support." Groom said his decision to join Piper centered on a number of key factors, including the company’s legacy, its commitment to recruiting and maintaining a committed and talented management and engineering team and Piper’s strong financial stability resulting from its recent acquisition by Imprimis. Imprimis – a corporate finance and investment management firm that operates from its offices in Singapore and Brunei Darussalam – acquired Piper last year. "One of the main reasons I was attracted to Piper is because I love their products and really believe they are the right aircraft for these times,” said Groom. “No other General Aviation manufacturer has such a comprehensive lineup of single-engine aircraft in every class, ranging from a great looking LSA PiperSport clear up to the very cool and affordable Meridian turboprop. We also have the trusted and respected Seminole and Seneca V workhorse twins. And I can't wait to get involved with the PiperJet, which will provide our customers with truly breakthrough performance, comfort and efficiency." Groom comes to Piper from Groom Aviation, LLC – a company he founded and that has worked with a wide variety of General Aviation businesses. At Groom Aviation, he and his team provided cusEverything Aircraft
tomers both strategic and tactical guidance to make the most out of existing markets and to uncover new markets to maximize business performance. Groom’s extensive experience includes senior executive positions with Hawker Beechcraft Corp. (formerly Raytheon Aircraft Company), where he held positions of increasing responsibility, including President of Global Customer Service and Support and President of Beechcraft. On the dealer side, Groom held several senior sales and executive positions with Piedmont Hawthorne Aviation, Inc. – a longtime Beech dealer – culminating in his appointment as Senior Vice President after serving as Vice President of Aircraft Sales and in other management positions for Piedmont Hawthorne Aviation /Piedmont Aviation Services. A graduate of Oklahoma State University, where he earned his B.S. and an M.B.A. in Marketing, Groom is an instrument-rated commercial pilot and has logged more than 10,000 accident-free hours in his 40 years of flying – 18 of those years as an aircraft owner. Groom worked his way through university as a flight instructor and charter pilot and was the youngest flight instructor for the U.S. Air Force at age 19. About Piper Aircraft, Inc. Piper Aircraft Inc. is headquartered in Vero Beach, Fla. Piper’s rich legacy is born of 72 years of unparalleled history, with almost 150,000 aircraft brought to market and more than 160 models certified.

CUBCRAFTERS ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF AMPHIBS FOR CARBON CUB SS 3/19/2010 Yakima, WA
www.aviationunlimited.com info@aviationunlimited.com Phone: 905-477-0107 Fax: 905-477-9616 See website for a complete listing of our aircraft inventory.
T
he Carbon Cub SS has now taken to the water! CubCrafters’ comprehensive list of options for the Carbon Cub SS and the Sport Cub S2 now includes Baumann 1500A amphibious floats. The spectacular STOL performance that the Carbon Cub SS has been widely recognized for is now available to pilots seeking an amphibious float application. CubCrafters has recently finished ASTM Certification of the Baumann 1500A amphib installation. The Carbon Cub SS and Sport Cub S2 may now be ordered with this option or retrofitted for existing owners. The aircraft can be delivered as a one or two place airplane in either the Special Light Sport category, or as an Experimental Light Sport. Lightly loaded the Carbon Cub SS amphib will be off the water in 4 seconds, 7 seconds at gross weight and climb with very little penalty. Low altitude climb rate with the amphibs is still 1,800 fpm at gross weight. Landing gear retraction is handled by a lightweight mechanical mechanism with a floor mounted retraction handle. Dual water rudders are also included and provide very responsive taxi control. FAA regulations permit the gross weight on Light Sport Aircraft to be increased from 1,320 lbs to 1,430 lbs when floats are installed. CubCrafters’ Owner and Chairman, Jim Richmond comments “Ever since introducing the Carbon Cub SS we’ve been fielding inquiries about amphibs so I’m most pleased to now have them available. The performance penalty in adding the amphibs was less than expected in all regards and results in a truly remarkable amphibious aircraft — I’m not aware of any float-plane that gets off the water quicker. This magic carpet will put a smile on the face of any seaplane pilot!” Equipped with a lightweight 180 horsepower engine and using 21st Century technology like carbon fiber and 3D computer design technology, the Carbon Cub SS exhibits pulse-quickening behavior now on any terrain. Proving that high performance and Light Sport are not mutually exclusive, the Carbon Cub SS is without a doubt the go anywhere, do anything cub.

Our workforce: a key factor in our success We are pleased to reward Pilatus staff for their part in achieving our good results with a profit-sharing bonus equivalent on average to 150 percent of a monthly salary.
PILATUS PERFORMS WELL DESPITE THE TOUGH MARKET ENVIRONMENT
In spite of the difficult operating environment, Pilatus has maintained its usual high number of trainees. In the year under review, 99 apprentices received training in nine different professions, including a new career option: plastics engineering.
Stans, April 7, 2010 In spite of the general financial and economic crisis, 2009 was another year of new records for Pilatus Aircraft Ltd: our highest ever operating income (CHF 78 million), a record number of PC-12 NG deliveries (100) and the biggest single order in our entire history with the PC-21 assignment from the United Arab Emirates. Although these figures reflect a successful performance overall, the volume of orders for business aircraft has fallen, and incoming orders remain sluggish. In autumn 2009, Pilatus was obliged to introduce short-time working for part of its workforce. This measure was lifted in early 2010, and there are plans to recruit a further 100 staff by the end of this year.
Difficult outlook for 2010 We have not yet seen the back of the global financial and economic crisis. Every possible effort is being made to win new orders, but the situation remains challenging. We must now focus our attention on securing sales of the PC-12 NG this year and next. There will also be a major milestone to celebrate midway through the year: delivery of our 1000th PC-12. Further media information is available from: Oscar J. Schwenk, Chairman and CEO Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, P.O. Box 992, 6371 Stans, Switzerland Phone: +41 41 619 62 05, Fax: +41 41 619 60 34 E-Mail: oschwenk@pilatus-aircraft.com
http://images.pilatus- aircraft.com. The largest order in the history of Pilatus The United www.pilatus-aircraft.com Arab Emirates decided to go with Pilatus again in midNovember of last year. As an existing customer with a fleet of 31 Pilatus PC-7s, the UAE have now opted for the PC-21 training system. The total order for 25 aircraft is worth over CHF 500 million.
PC-6
A further contract was also concluded with the Finnish Air Force for six PC-12 NGs to be deployed as liaison aircraft. This is the first ever order from a European air force for an entire fleet of this type of aircraft. Changing fortunes for business aircraft sales The global financial and economic crisis impacted on sales of business aircraft, resulting in cancellations and a slowdown in the order flow. Good planning and a full order book ensured we delivered a record number of PC-12 NGs (100) notwithstanding, including the 900th PC-12 to an existing customer in the USA.
PC-2 MK II
PC-12
In 2009, readers of “Professional Pilot Magazine” and “Aviation International News” voted Pilatus Customer Service the best in its category for the eighth and sixth times consecutively. Good capacity utilisation in aircraft maintenance The Maintenance Business Unit remained very busy throughout the year under review, essentially in connection with the conversion of the PC-7 fleet operated by the Swiss Air Force. These aircraft were fitted with a new cockpit. Buoyant demand for component and maintenance work also contributed to good capacity utilisation. Maintenance is also responsible for production of the PC-6: five such aircraft were delivered in 2009. The legendary Pilatus Porter celebrated its 50thMEDIA RELEASE Page 2/3 birthday during the year under review – and was brought right up to date with a stateof-the-art Garmin glass cockpit.

CIRRUS AIRCRAFT NOW ANTICIPATING STRONGERTHAN-EXPECTED PERFORMANCE IN 2010 17 March 2010 07:43 by Cirrus Aircraft
I
n comments to employees, customers and suppliers, President and CEO Brent Wouters today said the company was seeing signs of a strengthening market for aircraft sales. He noted that a number of key business measurements suggested stronger performance in 2010 than previously anticipated. "We are seeing solid signs that suggest this year could be better - potentially much better than many are thinking," Wouters said. "Our first-quarter sales are on pace with the results for Q1 2008, a year where we delivered 550 new airplanes. When you couple that level of sales performance with a greatly improved business that – because of our successful restructuring – has cut our breakeven point to less than half its 2008 level, 2010 is on track to be much better than expected. We’re pleased with the momentum we’re seeing on the sales side, particularly in institutional sales where our focus has already begun to show results such as the 16-airplane order for flight training at Purdue University. We see many more new fleet opportunities on the horizon."
"The credit for this improved outlook goes to our employees, our suppliers and all our partners who are helping us find success by making deliberate and significant progress in every area of the enterprise. While much work remains to be done, by pulling together, the Cirrus community is overcoming the economic headwinds and helping us quickly and quietly grow a very strong company." Additional highlights: • In Q1 2010, aircraft deliveries are trending well above the same period for 2009 and on par with 2008. Nearly 30 new customer aircraft are scheduled to be delivered in March 2010 alone. • March 2010 deliveries included the first two aircraft of 16 total for flight training at Purdue University's Department of Aviation Technology, with remaining deliveries to take place in Everything Aircraft
Q2 and Q3 2010. • Cirrus has more orders confirmed for both April and May of this year than the company had for the same period in either of the past two years. • Cirrus Certified, the pre-owned aircraft division at Cirrus, is also seeing sales return to 2008 levels. Used Cirrus aircraft prices are showing the strongest signs of stabilization in 24 months. • Increased global expansion in 2009 is paying significant dividends for Cirrus in 2010 as economies around the world recover at different rates. Year-to-date, total new aircraft deliveries are evenly split between the U.S. and export markets. • In January and February, the company received more than 25 new production reservations for its Cirrus Vision personal jet. • Business restructuring milestones include reducing inventory by more than 75%, reducing long-term liabilities by more than 20% and reducing annual fixed costs by over 50%. • The company continues to innovate in its marketing efforts with a new global partnership with RedBull Air Race, one of the most dynamic and well-known aviation-related brands in the world. • Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI) capability and further enhancements to Cirrus Perspective By Garmin™ avionics in 2009 helped the SR22 grow its market share to more than 60%. Again in 2009 - the 7th year in a row - the Cirrus SR22 is the world's best-selling 4-place airplane. About Cirrus Aircraft Cirrus Aircraft, a member of the global portfolio of Arcapita companies, is a recognized leader in personal aviation aircraft. Its popular SR20, SR22 and TURBO composite airplanes incorporate innovative and advanced performance and safety technologies, including the unique Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS™). As of early 2010, total time on the worldwide Cirrus Aircraft SR-series fleet surpassed 3.4 million hours with 19 CAPS deployments resulting in 36 lives saved. The Cirrus Aircraft Vision Jet, with nearly 500 positions reserved to date, will provide a new personal and regional business transportation solution - the 'personal jet'. Cirrus has a direct sales force in North America and sales centers in more than 40 countries around the world.

It’s time to springclean your aviation insurance...Updating your coverages is very important
A
s spring arrives and many of us get back to the skies in full force, we take it for granted that our aircraft need to be inspected and serviced. Well, your aviation insurance pol- icy is no different. This is a good time to inspect and service your insurance coverage as well. Too many owners simply assume that what was good enough last year will be good enough this year too. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case, as many have found out the hard way. So join me for a quick spring-cleaning of your policy. Spring 2010 aviation insurance update . . . . Unfortunately, aviation insurance rates are on the rise this year as the result of high losses suffered by the insurers in recent years. The increases can be as high as 10-20%, with high- risk commercial operators being hit especially hard. I’m not sure if this makes you feel any better, but aviation insurance is still much cheaper, relatively speaking, than auto coverage. If there is any good news, it is that the competitive forces in the marketplace are keep- ing the rates from rising even further. That means that it wouldn’t hurt for you to get a quote or two from different sources. You just might find yourself a better deal. Be extra careful if you take my advice from the previous paragraph: there are some companies pushing lower-priced policies that look and sound good but are severely lack- ing when it comes to coverage. Very low prices usually go hand-in-hand with long lists of exclusions, restrictions, and limitations. Pay very close attention to liability limits on pas- sengers and family members; the minimum you should consider (unless you always fly alone) is $1 million with no sublimits. Even with the rising rates, insurance that doesn’t really protect you isn’t a very good deal! As always, make sure you deal with someone you can trust and that you feel com- fortable with.

seem to know much about aviation, you’d be better off dealing with someone else. Updating the market value of your aircraft is critical As most of you know, the prices of aircraft have skyrocketed in recent years. A few years ago, a mid1970’s Cessna 172 in good condition could be found for $25-30,000. In today’s market, the same aircraft are listed at $50-75,000. This increase has a very important ramification for your insurance coverage. The amount for which you insure your aircraft has to be the fair market value. If it isn’t, you could be in for a nasty shock should you ever have an accident! As I’ve explained in this column before, the insurance company considers the amount of coverage to be the full value of the aircraft. So if you have a claim for that amount (or more), they pay you only that amount—and they take your airplane as salvage. Therefore, if you were only insured for $30,000 on that $60,000 Cessna, you would get a cheque for $30,000 and lose your plane! That’s why you should carefully consider the fair market value of your aircraft on an annual basis and update your insurance policy accordingly. Territories and liability limits . . . . As I mentioned above, liability limits are a very important consideration and an area where insurers try to cut corners. Your insurance spring-cleaning wouldn’t be complete without a review of this important area. The first thing to do is to make sure that you know exactly what your coverage is. Are there passenger limits? Family limits? Or any other restrictions on the way the policy will protect you? Are the limits reasonable? Keep in mind that liability awards can reach millions and the courts will not only seize all your assets but garnishee future earnings as well. If the type of flying you do—or the people you fly with—have changed at all, or if you are not comfortable with the limits your policy imposes, make the effort to get some alternate quotes. Most people wouldn’t even consider a liability limit as low as $100,000 on their home or auto insurance, yet a significant percentage of owners do just that on their aircraft policy. You may be surprised that the additional coverage is not as expensive as you thought— while lack of coverage can be very expensive indeed! Continued on Pg 34 . . .

Ed’s Aerodrome
By: Ed Anderson
Curtiss Robin
I
ntroduced in 1928, the initial Curtiss Robins, designed to use surplus 90-hp Curtiss V8 OX-5 engines from ‘The Great War’, had simple construction, fabric covered over a steel tube fuselage and an enormous wing of wood with a 6-foot constant chord. The plane was destined to be an inexpensive high-wing enclosed monoplane. Built by the Curtiss-Robertson Airplane Manufacturing Company of St. Louis, MO, the early ‘Robins’ encountered difficulty with large flat fairings over the wing bracing struts and troublesome bungee rubber cord shock absorbers fitted to the big-wheeled fixed undercarriage. Both these features proved ineffective and thereafter changed on later versions. Regardless, the ‘Robin’ was said to have been the most engineered private aircraft using similar standards to those adopted by the United States military. Overall, the Curtiss Robin, going into full production just prior to the Great Depression, was to become one of the most successful civil aviation aircraft of its time. Numerous variants of the Curtiss Robin were manufactured of which the Robin B, Robin C, C-1 and J-1 became the more popular. Most aircraft following the V8 OX-5 model (Robin B) were fitted with the more powerful Curtiss Challenger radial piston engine (170-185-hp). The last-of-the-line Robin J-1 however, was rendered a super charged 165-hp Wright J-6 Whirlwind Five air-cooled radial engine. All of the ‘Robin’ aircraft were three-place and roomy, having a pilot up front and two passenger seats, side by side, behind. Also, the Curtiss Robin had a reputation for easy handling, reliability, low trouble maintenance, and minimal cost. A total of 769 Curtiss Robin aircraft were built. Pictured herewith is a 1929 Curtiss Robin J-1D, s/n 705, tail# NC 511N, caught at the Arlington WA Fly-In in 2007. The J-1D has a cruise speed of 90-100-mph, a service ceiling of 13,000 feet, and a cruise range of 438 miles at 9 gallons an hour.

Cornerstone Laid For New Bombardier Facility In China Fri, 26 Mar '10
C
onstruction Of Factory That Will Manufacture CSeries Aircraft Fuselage Underway
Construction of the facility that will build the fuselage for the all-new Bombardier CSeries mainline commercial jetliner has begun. The event - another step in Bombardier's progress toward a 2013 entryinto-service for the CSeries aircraft - was marked with a foundation stone-laying ceremony today at the site in Shenyang, China. The 226,042 sq. ft. facility will be operated by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC), a subsidiary of the state-owned aviation industrial entity, China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC). SAC is a key supplier in the Bombardier CSeries aircraft program. Pierre Beaudoin, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier Inc. took part in the ceremony at the Shenyang National Aviation and High Technology Industrial Base in Dongling District. "Bombardier believes in the China aviation industry and is encouraged to see the further development of the Shenyang National Aviation and High Technology Industrial Base as a center of design and manufacturing excellence," Beaudoin said. SAC delivered the first test article in the CSeries aircraft program - a fuselage test barrel - to Bombardier's Saint-Laurent, Quebec site on August 19, 2009. The test barrel is being used to demonstrate manufacturing and engineering structural concepts before the CSeries aircraft's final design phase begins later this year. It has already been subjected to 40,000 simulated flight cycles of testing. The Shenyang facility joins two other new CSeries aircraft installations that are already under construction. In September 2009, Bombardier celebrated the groundbreaking of the first CSeries aircraft building in Quebec, Canada. Located in Mirabel, 45 minutes north of Montreal, the Complete Integrated Aircraft Systems Test Area (CIASTA) will test aircraft systems for reliability and functionality one year before the first prototype aircraft flies. In November 2009, construction got under way on the company's new state-of-the-art aircraft wing manufacturing and assembly facility in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Cessna’s Pelton Issues Aviation Industry Call to Action for Environmental Issues
L
AKELAND, Fla., April 15, 2010 - Cessna Chairman, President and CEO Jack Pelton issued a call to action to the general aviation community to take a leadership role in defining solutions to environmental issues so that responsible stewardship works in conjunction with economic considerations required for industry growth. Cessna Aircraft Company is a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company.
In 2008, Pelton established the Cessna Environmental Strategy Council which focuses on aircraft emissions, industrial emissions/waste/recycling, recycling consumables, energy conservation and engaging employees. Under Pelton, Cessna also launched GreenTrak, a flight planning program for Cessna Citation business jets that allows pilots to optimize flights for time, speed and fuel efficiency which reduces emissions.
Pelton made the remarks in a speech after receiving the 2010 Lindbergh Award, given annually to individuals whose work over many years has made significant contributions toward Lindbergh’s concept of balancing technology and nature. The award was presented here Wednesday at a dinner at the Sun ‘n Fun fly-in and trade show.
Cessna is the world’s leading general aviation company, based on unit sales, with five major lines of business: Citation business jets, Caravan singleengine turboprops, Cessna single-engine piston aircraft, aftermarket services and lift solutions by CitationAir. In 2009, Cessna delivered 754 aircraft, including 289 Citation business jets, and reported revenues of about $3.3 billion. Since the company was originally established in 1927, more than 192,000 Cessna airplanes have been delivered around the world, including more than 6,000 Citations, making it the largest fleet of business jets in the world. More information about Cessna Aircraft Company is available at www.cessna.com.
“Aviation has established an outstanding track record in reducing its environmental impact as we grow to meet rising demand for transportation around the world,” Pelton said. “To further reduce aviation’s impact on climate change requires partnerships between industry and government, and a commitment to find realistic solutions . . . technically and financially viable solutions everyone can live with.”
Textron Inc. is a multi-industry company that leverages its global network of aircraft, defense, industrial and finance businesses to provide customers with innovative solutions and services. Textron is known around the world for its powerful brands such as Bell Helicopter, Cessna Aircraft Company, Jacobsen, Kautex, Lycoming, E-Z-GO, Greenlee, and Textron Systems. More information is available at www.textron.com.
Pelton said people in the industry must participate in debate on the issues that should include not only aircraft emissions, but operations, infrastructure and research and development. He also called on the 1.2 million Americans who earn a living from some aspect of general aviation to help tell legislators and the public about the positive steps industry has already taken. “The market demands efficiency, and business aviation has delivered a 40 percent improvement in fuel efficiency over the past 40 years,” Pelton said. “Keep in mind that during the same timeframe, passenger and cargo traffic increased more than six fold, making aviation an extremely greenhouse gasefficient economic driver.” Everything Aircraft

Lycoming Engines-Our History
I
n 1845, when Williamsport, PA was known as the Lumber Capital of the World, Madame Ellen Curtis Demorest founded the Demorest Manufacturing Company. Over the next 60 years, Demorest produced sewing machines, bicycles, typewriters, duplicators, gas irons, and printing presses. In 1907, Demorest was restructured and named the Lycoming Foundry and Machine Company, focusing on the design and manufacture of engines. Over the next 25 years, 57 Lycoming engine models powered over 250 different automobiles, including the venerable Cord, Auburn, and Duesenberg.
On April 3, 1929, a Beech-designed TravelAir biplane was the first aircraft to feature a Lycoming motor (the nine-cylinder, 215 horsepower R-680 radial engine) on successful trial flights. It was christened "The Lycoming" because the Lycoming Manufacturing Company, now known as Lycoming Engines, built the motor. The successful trial came just two years after Charles Lindbergh flew his "Spirit of St. Louis" nonstop from New York to Paris marking the "golden age of aviation" and introduced Lycoming as the world's foremost piston aircraft engine manufacturer. Over the next twenty years, Lycoming built over 25,000 R-680 radial engines and established a worldwide reputation for excellence that has thrived ever since. Headquartered in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, today Lycoming is a global operating division of Textron's Avco Corporation subsidiary, and an operating unit of Textron Systems, specializing in the engineering, manufacturing, assembly, test and Everything Aircraft
support of piston aircraft engines. Lycoming's factory produces the most complete line of horizontally opposed, air-cooled, four-, six- and eight-cylinder engines available including the only FAA-certified aerobatic and helicopter piston engines on the market. The company has built more than 325,000 piston aircraft engines and powers more than half the world's general aviation fleet, both rotary and fixed wing. Lycoming engines power a wide range of aircraft, are consistently reliable and are backed by a worldwide network of sales, service and technical support. As the industry leader, Lycoming continues to improve the performance and value delivered to its customers through research and development with enhanced valve train systems, alternative fuels and materials advancement. About Textron Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) is a $10.5 billion multi-industry company operating in 25 countries with approximately 32,000 employees. The company leverages its global network of aircraft, defense and intelligence, industrial and finance businesses to provide customers with innovative solutions and services. Textron is known around the word for its powerful brands such as Bell Helicopter, Cessna Aircraft, Jacobsen, Kautex, Lycoming, E-Z-GO, Greenlee, Textron Systems and Textron Financial Corporation.

Three More F136 Engines Expected To Be Tested This Year
T
he GE Rolls-Royce Fighter Engine Team has successfully hit full afterburner on its third new production-configuration engine, continuing a year of major progress and milestones for the F136 program. The afterburner tests were conducted in an advanced testing facility at GE. All major objectives have been reached during this phase of testing, which included an engine nozzle common to both F-35 engine programs. The Joint Strike Fighter aircraft was designed from its inception to include interchangeability with the F136 engine. Six F136 engines are scheduled for testing this year, to measure engine performance and endurance as the competitive engine for the F-35 program continues to demonstrate steady progress and significant milestones. F136 performance is meeting all expectations in terms of thrust, temperature margins, and fuel consumption -- confirming the vital role that it will play competing in the Joint Strike Fighter program over several decades. “We are marching along in development, making progress every day, and achieving full afterburner on our newest engine demonstrates the capability and success of the F136 team. It also means the F-35 program is another step closer to reaping the proven benefits of enduring competition in the engine program,” said Al DiLibero, President of the GE RollsRoyce Fighter Engine Team. “This year will be the biggest yet for the F136 program as we ramp up our test program and move toward flight test. The F136 is designed specifically for the F-35 aircraft, with an engine core sized for the aircraft’s current and future needs,” said Mark Rhodes, Senior Vice President of the GE RollsRoyce Fighter Engine Team.

Consolidated B-24 Liberator Early in 1939, the United States Army Air Corps contracted Consolidated Aircraft Corporation to build a new long-range, high-speed heavy bomber, having better performance than the already operational Boeing B-17 “Flying Fortress”. Remarkably, nine months later on December 29, 1939 the prototype XB-24 took to the air on its maiden flight. Although wartime crews were said to prefer the B-17 because of its toughness and survivability, the B-24 proved to be an excellent and versatile airplane. The Liberator established a greater range, had a larger bomb capacity than its counterpart, among other effective and distinguishing features including a tricycle landing gear, mid-mounted, high-lift Davis wing, twin tail fins, oval-shaped engine cowlings to accommodate turbosuperchargers, unusual roll-up bomb bay doors, a fully retractable ventral machine gun turret, along with the firstly employed Hamilton hydromatic quick-feathering three-blade propellers. Some of these characteristics served to greatly improve the bomber’s aerodynamics, allowing reduction of drag and less fuel consumption thereby enhancing its long range capability. Seven pre-series YB-24 prototype aircraft were built, of which six were exported to Britain, causing a first order of 36 planes in early 1940. After the initial nine came off the assembly line, the rest were produced as B-24Cs some of which entered service with the US Army in November 1941. When France was over-run by the Germans in the spring of 1940, the French contracts for 120 units were transferred to the British Royal Air Force with other early production B-24s to be named “Liberators”. Some of the earliest “Libs” were deemed unsuitable for combat duty over Europe and were thus converted to use by the RAF on the Trans-Atlantic Return Ferry Service as LB-30A transports. This successful employment led to the Liberator I for RAF Coastal Command while others and later examples were also assigned to Coastal Patrol and Bomber Command. All told, 1,694 “Liberators” were delivered to the Royal Air Force. Also, 149 B-24s of various Marks, mostly derived from the ‘J’ model, were taken on strength with the Royal Canadian Air Force beginning in 1943. All were completely removed from service by 1949. R.C.A.F. “Libs” were mostly used in the roles of long range coastal recon. patrol and heavy transport. Making of the next and significant series, the B-24D generated much interest in late 1940, filling large orders for the air forces of the United States and Great Britain. The United States version underwent extended development prior to going into full production, after which the transparent-nose B-24D became the first “Liberator” to enter combat with the USAAC in April 1942. Most of the Liberator’s early battle engagements were focused in the Middle East and the Pacific Theater, later to serve with the U.S. 8th Air Force on missions over Europe. One of the more intense and costly bombing missions of the war was the Ploesti daylight raid of August 1, 1943. 177 Liberators took off from Bengasi, North Africa, without fighter escort, for a low-level mass attack on the oil refineries at Ploesti, Romania. 163 ships made it to target, out of which 54 were lost in action, and of those that returned only 33 were flyable. The enemy was waiting. The heavy toll in planes and men was a subject of controversy for many years after. The ‘D’ Liberator had a maximum takeoff weight of 60,000 lbs, was powered by 4 Pratt & Whitney R-1830-43 Twin Wasp, 14-cylinder radial, air-cooled, 1,200 h.p. engines, possessed a maximum speed of slightly over 300 m.p.h. at 25,000 feet, had a service ceiling in excess of 30,000 feet and a range of 2,850 miles. The B-24D carried a crew of 8-10 with armament of 10 machine guns and 8,800 lbs. of bombs. Continued Pg34. . . . .

WICHITA, Kan. (April 7, 2010) – In a special ceremony today, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) celebrated the delivery of the 600th Beechcraft T-6 – the world’s most proven military training aircraft. The U.S. Navy took delivery of the milestone aircraft, a T-6B, which will be based at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Fla. The T-6 is versatile, safe and effective for basic and advanced flight training tasks. “We all take pride in this milestone and this aircraft program,” said Jim Maslowski, president, U.S. and International Government Business. “For more than 70 years, Hawker Beechcraft and its predecessor companies have been meeting and exceeding mission needs for militaries around the world. We look forward to continuing this proud tradition.” Deliveries of the T-6 began in 2000 after the aircraft was initially selected to fill the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System role for the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy. Since then, additional military programs worldwide, including NATO Flying Training in Canada, the Hellenic Air Force of Greece, the Israeli Air Force, the Iraqi Air Force and the Royal Moroccan Air Force, have chosen the T-6 and its derivatives as their primary trainers. With a top speed of 316 knots, a +7.0G to -3.5G airframe and an advanced digital cockpit, it is equally adept at teaching the most advanced aerobatic maneuvers and simulated combat training tasks. To date, the T-6 has been used to train pilots and navigators from approximately 20 different countries. In addition to the T-6, Hawker Beechcraft is rolling out a light attack version of the aircraft, the AT-6, in order to meet rapidly emerging needs for irregular warfare capabilities around the world.

9/10 Interior is new. There are no scratches, cracks, crazing or other evidence of use.
8/10 Paint and airframe are in near new condition. Minor scratches (shallow, short and less than 1 or 2 per square foot) are detectable only on close inspection (inspecting aircraft while standing at less than an arms' length from it). Paint on often-used fasteners and screws may be chipped.
8/10 Interior is in near new condition. Any smell, dirt or matting can be removed by simple cleaning. Some evidence of use can be found only on close inspection.
7/10 Paint has high gloss. Small number (less than 3 or 4 per square foot) of scratches are apparent, mostly on leading edges due to abrasion. Close inspection reveals only a few small dents or chips (less than 1 or 2 per square foot). Windows are clear with no crazing or discoloring. 6/10 Paint is shiny. Several small scratches, chips or dents (4 to 6 per square foot) can be found, mostly around high use areas (fuel caps, doors, struts). Some crazing or small stress cracks (less than 2 or 3 hairline cracks per square foot) are visible in plastic and fiberglass structures. Several windows may be milky at edges. 5/10 Paint is sound (no corrosion apparent). Slight oxidation can easily be polished out, leaving paint shiny again. Two or three small areas (rounded corner of cowling, part of leading edge) of crazing can be found in paint. Paint on leading edges is rough from abrasion. Touched up or repaired areas may be seen on close inspection. Small number (3 or 4 per square foot) of short cracks can be found in fiberglass wingtips and cowlings due to normal wear or hangar rash. Cowling seals are faded. Many (less than half) windows have milky edges. Several windows may be crazed or lightly scratched. Aircraft looks attractive to most people during walk-around. 4/10 Paint is generally sound. Small areas require special attention (touch up or repair by trained individual) due to oxidation, peeling, chipping, corrosion or crazing. Paint is dull in many (less than half) areas. Most windows are crazed and scratched. 3/10 Paint is not shiny and has peeled in many areas. Most leading edges and upper surfaces are crazed and oxidized. Moderate number (5 or 6 per square foot) of chips, cracks or dents can be found. All window surfaces are scratched. Even after touch-up and polishing, aircraft still looks unsightly. 2/10 Aircraft looks terrible. Paint is badly oxidized, peeled and blemished. It is well beyond the touch-up and polish stage. Corrosion, dents and cracks require extensive work. 1/10 Exterior is so full of corrosion, heavy dents or tears that it will not pass an annual inspection without repairs.

Continental Motors Announces Turbo FADEC Receives FAA Certification Turbo FADEC Certification Newest Achievement in TCM’s Catalog of Aviation Firsts Retro News - July 26, 2009 “(Oshkosh, WI) At EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2009” Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) announced that it has received FAA Certification on the first Full Authority Digital Electronic Controlled (FADEC) - Turbocharged Engine the TSIOF-550. The TSIOF550 joins the IOF240 and IOF550 in TCM’s growing line of certified, production FADEC engines. “We developed and certified the Turbo FADEC 550 in response to requests from airframe manufacturers wanting a high horsepower engine offering mated with advanced electronic engine controls” stated Rhett Ross, President of Continental Motors. “TCM’s engineering team was able to create a product that has exceeded our expectations and will certainly impress airframe manufacturers” Ross concluded. The certified TSIOF550 engine boasts an impressive rating of 350Hp at 2600 RPM and a 22,000 foot critical altitude. TCM’s PowerLink FADEC allows for single lever, electronic engine control that reduces pilot workload in the cockpit down to selecting a desired power setting using a single control lever. With the single lever, the pilot selects the power and the system automatically manages fuel to either “Best Power” or “Best Economy” depending on the pilot”s preference. As demonstrated in recent efficiency test flights, the system ensures ease of operation and automatic adjustment of fuel flow to maintain fuel economy and engine operating parameters without constant pilot involvement. An experimental version of the TSIOF550 has been flying on the front of a Lancair IVP for over 550 hours. The TSIOF550 has enabled the IV to achieve economy cruise speeds of 255 KTS while enjoying a 17.5 gal/hr fuel burn. The TSIOF550 Powered Lancair is on display at TCM’s AirVenture Oshkosh 2009 booth (229-234).

WARBIRDS . . .Continued from Pg26 While designed as a high-speed heavy bomber, the B-24 underwent more than 100 modifications and conversions, not only to improve its primary purpose but also because of its adaptability to satisfy additional wartime needs of photographic reconnaissance, (F-7 variant), Cargo - LB-30A and C-87 transport versions, (a C-87 was also the personal aircraft of Britain’s war-time Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, carrying him to historic meetings at Moscow, Russia and Casablanca, North Africa, among other locations), C-109 fuel tankers that flew “the Hump” to refuel B-29 Superforts operating out of forward bases in China, TB-24 trainers, and CB-24 lead ships. B-24s of all types virtually served in every area of conflict during WW II, but their major contribution was as bombers, especially in the Pacific and Southeast Asia where they dropped 635,000 tons of bombs and downed 4,189 enemy planes before war‘s end. Close to 1,000 “Liberators” also served in the United States Navy as the PB4Y for long range maritime reconnaissance and antisubmarine work. Before production ended on May 31, 1945, over 19,000 B-24s of all types, plus spares, were built during the Second World War, more than any other American warplane. Assembly was spread across a number of companies at several locations in the United States - Consolidated Aircraft Corp., and under license the Ford Motor Co., Douglas Aircraft Co., and North American Aviation Inc. The B-24E equipped with different engines and propellers was the next model, followed closely by the B24G, which after the rendering of 25 examples, an extensive modification program was introduced. New armament was of prime concern, mostly in defense against frontal attack, which included installation of a mechanically controlled forward turret and improvements to other armaments, that also became standard equipment in subsequent models. The first G versions deployed to the Pacific appeared for combat in early 1943. 3,100 heavier bomb capacity B-24Hs were next built by Consolidated, Douglas and Ford in 1943, followed by the largest production version of all, the B-24J. 6,678 “Js” were rolled off the assembly lines, starting in August 1943, equipped with new engine controls, new sighting system, changes in the fuel and feeding systems along with other modifications. The B-24J first entered into combat on 16 November 1943, at Bougainville, in the Solomon Islands of the Pacific. Armament improved B-24L and B-24M versions were the final production models before war’s end. After the war many Liberators were converted for passenger use, especially in Latin America. Today, only Everything Aircraft
three “Liberators” remain airworthy (two B-24Js and one LB-30) out of twenty three listed world wide. The LB30B transport, known as DIAMOND ’LIL’, is part of the inventory of the Commemorative Air Force, West Texas Wing. Delivered to the British Royal Air Force as AM927, this is the world’s oldest surviving Liberator, being the 24th off the production line of Consolidated Vultee Corp., San Diego, CA. Although fully airworthy, this airshow veteran, N24927, is being gradually converted to B-24 bomber configuration. One of the two flyable B-24Js is the photo featured aircraft of this article. This perfectly restored “Liberator” N224J, serial no. 44-44052, a Pacific combat veteran, now operated by the Collings Foundation of Stow, MA, was also at one time flown as the “All American”. However, in 1998 N224J was repainted and renamed “The Dragon and His Tail”, in tribute to those who built, flew, and maintained the B-24 and, to all other veterans of the Second World War. Story and Photos By: Ed Anderson PARK AVIATION . . .Continued From Pg 11 The final stop on your spring-cleaning tour is a quick check on territorial limitations in your policy. Most policies restrict certain northern areas and some even prohibit opera- tion into grass strips or unimproved runways. If your flying habits include any of these areas, you should make a point of amending your coverage. Now that wasn’t so painful, was it? No mops, brooms, dusters, tools, or vacuum cleaners required! Just a few minutes to review your policy and maybe a couple of phone calls to a friendly aviation insurance broker or two! Then it’s time to move into the cockpit and enjoy some spring flying.
