Why do Marketing and Aerobatics Blend so Well?

GA Buyer Europe interviews Frank van Houten of Dutch Rush, to uncover his passion for aerobatic flying, and learn how his Sukhoi 26M is being used to excellent marketing effect. Discover more here...

Having had his first flying experience in a glider at the age of 12, Frank van Houten of Dutch Rush Aerobatics obtained his Private Pilots’ Licence long before he could drive a car, and after being bitten by the aviation bug, he began a flying career in the Military with the Royal Netherlands Navy.

Initially he flew Lynx helicopters positioned aboard Dutch Frigates in a variety of environments, including the Adriatic, Middle East and the Carribean, before moving into the cockpit of the P3C Orion, a four-engine Maritime patrol aircraft.

Eventually he found his way into the civil aviation sector where he flew the Bombardier Global 6000 for the word’s largest Fractional Ownership organization. But it’s aerobatics that has always been an aviation passion for van Houten.

“The performance and maneuverability of these aircraft gives you the feeling of ultimate freedom and a very thorough insight into what is aerodynamically possible,” he explains to GA Buyer Europe. “It provides endless challenges.”

Aerobatics is an extreme sport with a lot of potential and no shortage of variation. “The manoeuvres these aircraft make, the agility, the engine sound and engine power, the eye catching paint schemes and smoke generators,” van Houten enthuses. “All of these are ingredients that capture attention. You can’t help but to stop and admire!

4 PISTON BUYER EUROPE JULY 2018

“Aircraft like the Sukhoi 26M are true eye-catchers.

They’re capable of creating a real Wow-factor, making them very useful in marketing campaigns or at events.

“Aerobatic aircraft are comparable to race cars or race bikes,” he elaborates. “They’re strong where neccessary, but they lack comfort to save weight – they’re actually very spartan inside.”

Finding the Perfect Aerobatic Plane

So how does one find the perfect aerobatic aircraft?

According to van Houten, that can be an almost impossible task, but he adds that the Sukhoi 26M leaves little to wish for. “The balance and maneuverability of this aircraft are fantastic.

“It’s almost impossible to fly the Sukhoi 26M straight and level. It just wants to move and not to do so almost feels like an insult to the designers.”

But what exactly attracted van Houten to the Sukhoi 26M? “It’s a remarkable aerobatic aircraft in so many ways. The airplane is quite big compared to similar aircraft and has an eye catching paint scheme.

“The design and performance enables the aircraft to perform at the world level. And the engine sound of the nine-cylinder Vedenyev radial engine is unique in its class. In comparison to other, similar aerobatic aircraft the Sukhoi has a distinct, impressive appearance. It’s a real eye-catcher, in the air and on the ground.”

Flying Displays

Frank flies his Sukhoi at displays throughout Europe both at regular airshows and non-aviation events, and he’s always looking to develop the type of display he offers.

“To add to the experience, we can now also perform an optional twilight display with the use of pyrothechnics”, he reveals.

“Imagine a quiet summer evening with no wind, an impressive engine sound and fireworks coming from the wingtips. It’ll definately leave a lasting impression!”

This year at Aero Expo UK (June 14-16), attendees will be able to see Van Houten’s aircraft at the Bose Aviation stand. “I have been collaborating with Bose for many years now using their aviation headsets. Since last year Jeppesen also joined with the VFR Flitedeck. So both brands are featured prominently on the wings of the aircraft.

“We will also have a simulator of the aircraft next to the real Sukhoi featuring the Bose A20 headsets and the Jeppesen VFR Flitedeck, so visitors will get a feel for what it’s like to actually fly the aircraft.”

And of course, van Houten will be partaking in the flying display, showcasing exactly what the aircraft can do and what makes it so unique.

Aircraft as Marketing Tools

With Bose and Jeppesen logos featuring prominently on the 26M’s paint scheme, aerobatics is about far more than an advert or an event – van Houten is clear that it’s an experience.

“Companies strive for long-term relationships with their customers (not just to reach the masses), and aviation and aerobatics can play an important role.”

A good example of this kind of advertising can be seen in the latest ‘Why I Fly’ video made for Bose Aviation, in which Frank explains his passion for flying.

“Experience Marketing is the future - it is the way to engage with your prospects,” he offers.

“Regular advertising can become too much, too shallow, and become quite irritating –the audience can choose to block it out. With some creativity it’s possible to achieve much more, cost effectively - especially with use of the unique qualities aviation and aerobatics have to offer. This is the ultimate tool for ‘experience marketing’. An aircraft like the Dutch Rush Sukhoi are capable of evoking an emotion.”

But don’t just take Frank van Houten’s word for it.

Come and see for yourself at this year’s AeroExpo UK. More information from www.dutchrush.nl

All of the aircraft are powered by Austro Engines diesels which can run on Jet A fuel, and have Garmin G1000 NXi avionics. Deliveries will start this year and run

through 2019. Scott McFadzean, CEO of Wiener Neustadt, Austria-based Diamond Aircraft Industries, said: “Republic Airways is proactively responding to the global pilot shortage issue by creating a world class direct-to-hire training institution.”

US regional airlines have suffered from many flight cancellations in recent years due to a shortage of pilots, exacerbated by the 1,500-hour rule for first officers. www.diamondaircraft.com/

Wingly Says Flight Sharing is Taking Off

L3 Portugal Training Academy Takes Shape

Although in the USA flight-sharing sites/ apps have been outlawed by the FAA, in Europe EASA has cleared the path, with some guidance.

CIRRUS

2015 Cirrus SR22T G5 GTS

Republic Airways has ordered a total of 50 Diamond DA40NG and DA42-VI aircraft to bolster the training fleet at its new Leadership in Flight Training (LIFT) academy in Indianapolis. It has also ordered Diamond flight simulators.

E

Emeric de Waziers, co-founder of Wingly, reports the app is “now in the UK, France and Germany, although by this we also mean Austria and Switzerland.” Germany, where Wingly started, is “still the leading market.” The company is based in Paris.

Year-over-year growth in number of passengers flights has been around 200%, he said.

In April 2017 there were 280 passenger flights and in April 2018 that grew to more than 800.

De Waziers said France is now a success story after regulators became satisfied that Wingly could ensure its members’ flights were not commercial, and did not in any way make a profit.

The DGAC approved the activity in June 2017 and Wingly now has an arrangement with the French Federation of Aero Clubs, the FFA. “France has been a real breakthrough,” noted de Waziers.

The Air Charter Association (BACA) still has concerns, especially when Wingly is inviting visitors to its website and users of its app to request flights.

First H3PS Meeting Held at Tecnam HQ In May the first meeting of the 36-month H3PS (High Power High Scalability Aircraft Hybrid Powertrain) initiative was held at the Capua headquarters of Italian manufacturer Tecnam, project coordinator. The European Commission and INEA agency is helping finance H3PS under the HORIZON 2020 Mobility for Growth program.

Tecnam, BRP-Rotax and Siemens are leading H3PS and are to present a “performing alternative” to existing propulsion that will “dramatically reduce the environmental impact of today’s four seat [GA] aircraft.”

Fabio Russo, head of R&D and product development of Tecnam and project manager of H3PS, said: “The project will introduce the most advanced technologies for all-electric aircraft and thus stimulate innovation.” www.h3ps.eu

L3 Commercial Training Solutions (L3 CTS) continues to expand the aircraft fleet at its European Airline Academy in Ponte de Sor, Portugal, which it established in January having purchased local ATO, G Air. It is taking the fleet up to 12 Diamond DA40Ds and four Cessna singles.

Rebranding and improvements to the airfield with the help of an EU grant will mean it can eventually train 500 pilots a year.

Students start out with VFR (PPL) training in Portugal and then go to L3’s UK Airline Academy in Southampton for ATPL theory and their CPL/Multi-Engine Instrument Rating flying. www.l3cts.com

Piper Single-Engine Trainers “Sold Out”

Piper had an expanded presence at this year’s EBACE show in Geneva (29-31 May) with two M-class aircraft, an M600 turboprop single and M350 pressurized piston single, as well as a diesel-powered Archer DX single.

“The European business aviation market presents a key growth opportunity for Piper Aircraft and our dealer partners,” said Ron Gunnarson, v-p of sales, marketing, and customer support. “With our continued focus on expanding international sales and with the advent of EASA approval of single-engine turbine commercial operations, the EBACE convention is the ideal venue for Piper to showcase its M-Class products in the European market.”

In addition, Piper trainer orders have surged 88 percent over the past five years, and the backlog for the Archer training airplane is now into the third quarter of 2019.

“Our 2018 trainer production is sold out,” Caldecott said. “As a manufacturer of training aircraft, we’re seeing the forecast becoming reality.

“The pilot shortage is real.” www.piper.com

Aircraft Financing: How Does it Work?

Andy Blundell, Director of Aviation & Marine Finance at Close Brothers Asset Finance delves into the mechanics of how aircraft financing works…

Financing the purchase of aircraft is a job for a specialist funder. Unsurprisingly, it’s not something a typical high street bank would consider. So, once you’ve found a specialist lender, what can you expect?

Andy Blundell (left) discusses the process at Close Brothers Asset Finance…

Arranging the financing for the purchase of private aircraft is usually a straightforward process. A basic transaction for a small personal or corporate aircraft may proceed as follows: -

Question: How are aircraft finance packages structured?

Andy: Deciding how to finance an aircraft is a key component in the ownership process. Any good financier will work with its clients to understand the key drivers of each transaction, accounting for the proposed usage and maintenance cycle of the aircraft, together with the cash flow requirements of the borrower to offer a tailored and bespoke solution for each transaction.

This isn’t just marketing speak. Because of the nature of General and Business Aviation, you cannot apply a ‘one-size-fitsall’ approach to transactions. Each deal is unique in its own right.

The sheer variety of aircraft available is another factor to consider and is a primary reason why it’s important each opportunity is assessed individually.

Our Aviation team has helped customers purchase thousands of aircraft, ranging from small flying club aircraft to mid-sized corporate jets, historic warbird aircraft, two seat private helicopters to large corporate and air ambulance helicopters.

Facilities are usually structured over five to seven years, with final ‘balloon’ payments normally an option, depending on the customer requirements and the specific aircraft being financed.

Facilities in sterling, Euro and US Dollars are available.

Question: Typically, how does aircraft finance work at Close Brothers Asset Finance?

Andy: The finance facilities are structured through a loan, with security by way of a mortgage over the aircraft; facility fees normally apply. The mortgage will be registered at the CAA or another national aviation authority.

When lending to companies and limited liability partnerships (LLPs), Close Brothers also registers a mortgage with Companies House, and personal guarantees may be required.

-

-

-

The borrower provides information about themselves and their prospective aircraft to the lender.

The lender performs an appraisal of the aircraft's value and undertakes its own internal credit analysis. Normally the lender would expect the borrower to undertake their own pre-purchase survey of the aircraft.

The lender and borrower agree terms on the structure of the transaction.

The lender performs a title search based on the aircraft's registration number to confirm that no liens or title defects are present.

The lender then prepares documentation for the transaction, which includes dealing with the vendor, insurers, maintenance organisations and (where applicable) lawyers.

At closing, the loan documentation is executed, and the funds are transferred.

Question: Is insurance required for aircraft or helicopters?

Andy: Yes – all aircraft must be comprehensively insured, with the lender’s interest in the aircraft noted on the policy.

Question: What type of aircraft are financed at Close Brothers Asset Finance?

Andy: We can finance a wide range of aircraft, including light piston aircraft, turboprops, helicopters, executive corporate jets and air ambulances. We also finance vintage aircraft and are a strong supporter of historic aviation in the UK. Aircraft are usually registered in the UK, USA, the Isle of Man or Guernsey.

We can finance brand new aircraft direct from the manufacturer, or pre-owned aircraft that are being sold from dealers, brokers or via private sale. And we can also consider refinancing aircraft that are already owned, to release capital for overhauls, upgrades, rebuilds or other purposes.

What we can’t finance; however, are aircraft operated by major airlines and the Armed Services.

GAMA Reports Piston Market Flat, Like Jets www.gama.aero The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) has reported that the piston market is â&#x20AC;&#x153;flatâ&#x20AC;? like the jet segment of the market, â&#x20AC;&#x153;with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Q1 total of 200 units trailing last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 203 by 1.5%.â&#x20AC;?

In the single-engine portion of the market, this year is down from last year at 162 units compared with 176 last year, a reduction of almost 8%. Of the 14 single-engine piston manufacturers listed, three had gains, seven had losses, three were even and one failed to report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is Cirrus and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everybody else,â&#x20AC;? observed Mike Potts, aviation analyst; the Chinese-owned manufacturer led the market with 74 deliveries, up from 57 last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;an increase of almost 30%. In second place is Cessna, with 21 deliveries, down from 41 a year ago.

This included one TTx, the single it bought from Lancair in 2007 to compete with the Cirrus SR-22 but has now discontinued.

Piper delivered 19 airplanes this quarter, up from 17 a year ago, and Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tecnam â&#x20AC;&#x153;captured fourth placeâ&#x20AC;? with 15 units for the quarter, down from 19 last year.

Austriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diamond Aircraft Industries was in fifth place with 11 deliveries, matching its total from one year ago.

Then there was Extra with six, Mooney with four, American Champion and Pepistril with three each, Waco and Cubcrafter with two each, and Textronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beechcraft unit and Mahindra with one each. Maule failed to report to GAMA for Q1.

Twin deliveries totaled 38 in the first quarter, compared with 27 last year, Diamond leading with 20 deliveries, with Tecnam second with 12. Piper recorded five, and Beechcraft one.

Potts summarized that generally the market is â&#x20AC;&#x153;still limping along, trying to gain enough traction to mount a strong recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully this will be the last year when we have to use the word flat to describe the continuing state of the market.â&#x20AC;?

Mooney Launches Shares Programme

NATS Acquires Stake in ADS-B Pioneer Aireon

Mooney International has teamed with Partners in Aviation to offer MooneyShares, in an attempt to boost the market for its Acclaim and Ovation Ultra singles.

The Kerrville, Texas-based manufacturer works with potential buyers to find a co-owner where a single owner is planning to fly less than 200 hours a year.

The company says it will: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Identify quality co-owner prospects, with similar equipment and interests in your area; vet and secure qualified co-owner candidates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those capable of owning a whole airplane but would rather not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think of us as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Match.comâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for personal, high-performance aircraft.â&#x20AC;?

UK Military Aerodrome Sell-off Reviewed

The UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air navigation services provider, NATS, has invested almost â&#x201A;Ź60 million in ADS-B pioneer Aireon, giving it a 10% stake. Aireonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five other equity investors are Iridium Communications, Nav Canada, the Irish Aviation Authority, Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ENAV, and Denmarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Naviair.

Don Thomas, Aireon CEO, said NATSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; investment will allow Aireon to begin paying Iridium Communications fees for hosting the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s space-based ADS-B transceivers on every low earth orbit Next satellite that Iridium launches.

Aireonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global Air Traffic Management surveillance service is due to become fully operational in 2019.

Iridium has orbited 50 out of 66 Next satellites so far on SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets. The space-based ADS-B transceivers on those satellites already receive 9 billion positional messages from aircraft every month. https://aireon.com/

APPG chairman, Grant Shapps MP.

The UK defence minister, Tobias Ellwood (who has an FAA PPL), has pledged to look again at the sell-off of 15 surplus UK military airfields for housing following discussions with the All-Party Parliamentary Group on General Aviation.

APPG urged officials to pursue a mixed-use approach to developments on aerodromes to meet the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stated objective of making the UK the best country in the world for GA. The Minister and officials from the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (the body responsible for the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defence infrastructure) acknowledged that retaining at least some of these aerodromes for aviation use could be beneficial, not only to local economies, but also to potential future UK defence needs.

Meanwhile the APPG also put out a summary of its activities and successes to date since being re-formed after the UK General Election in 2017.

What Does xVue Bring to the Experimental Cockpit? xVue is BendixKing’s first foray in to the experimental market, and certainly won’t be its last. xVue offers experimental pilots premium product with top-of-the-line options like synthetic vision, and vertical situation at an entry-level price. xVue starts at $5,495 USD. Simply put, the xVue is a powerful, fast and simple multifunction PFD that’s been developed for homebuilt aircraft. As traditional ‘6-packs’ become obsolete, we’re seeing the rise of the PFD. PFDs offer better situational awareness, a faster instrument scan, and overall increase the safety envelope of your aircraft. xVue does all of this, and is designed to help homebuilt or experiment aircraft owners get truly industryleading technology at an affordable price.

Whether you’re looking to replace older equipment or are undertaking a fresh build, xVue should be a strong contender for your aircraft.

Built From the Ground, Up xVue has been designed from the ground up by industry-leading industrial designers for ease of use, with optimized button layouts and menus. After using the xVue for the first time you’ll notice a couple things:

easy-to-read display in any lighting. The screen also has cutting edge touch technology providing high touch accuracy, accomplished through two years of extensive lab and flight testing to ensure reliability and user-friendly functionality.

The system itself has no moving parts, and the hardware is built from the materials used by Honeywell’s F-16 programs, giving the xVue a truly refined finished. Use of premium materials allowed BendixKing to create a very light product, with a total weight of 11.86lbs. xVue doesn’t require expensive GPS upgrades, because it seamlessly integrates with BendixKing KSN series, Garmin GTN/GNS series and Avidyne IFD navigators.

To help you save even more it comes standard with industry leading SmartViewTM Synthetic Vision, and vertical situation display to improve situational awareness and safety.

Continued Development • •

You don’t have to search the menus to find what you need, and When you touch the screen it responds immediately.

This is due to the fact the xVue has been designed with critical functions no more than two touches away, and all functions no more than four touches away. xVue allows up to three panels to be displayed on the screen at one time: PFD only; PFD and MFD; PFD, MFD and vertical situation. You also can customize the amount of information presented on the screen, since, en route you may want more data shown for situational awareness, but on approach less information allowing you to focus. xVue comes equipped with an industry leading 10.1-inch display with near 4k resolution, making it the highest resolution display on the market. 16.7 million colours, 1,000 nits of luminescence and 800:1 contrast ratio means a bright,

xVue has an abundance of functionally for a light, compact unit. It does so through more than 450,000 lines of FAA tested code written by BendixKing engineers.

This means that functions and options will continue to be added to the xVue over time. The first addition will be engine instruments, which is planned to be available early next year.

It’s no secret how difficult database and software updates can be, but that appears to be a thing of the past with the xVue, which has built in Wi-Fi allowing you to complete database updates in as little as four minutes, and software updates in less than 10 minutes using just your phone.

Finally, there’s no need to worry about failures. The xVue comes with a standard two-year warranty, which is expandable to seven years through the BendixKing Confidence Plan.

For more information: Contact your local BendixKing representative or email sales@bendixking.com.

Alternatively, visit Stand #A45 at AeroExpo UK (June 14-16) to learn more about the xVue new touchscreen integrated flight deck!

Is Your Trustee Legitimate?

Just because a Company has the name ‘Trust’ or ‘Trustee’ in it doesn’t mean they have authority to act as a Trustee. So how can you establish that they do have the authority? Aircraft Guaranty offers advice…

It can be confusing when searching the market for a Trustee provider, as the cost of Trust services vary widely. Don’t be fooled into considering the lower cost alone. There is more to providing trust services than many people know.

FAA Does not vet Trustees The hard truth is that many Trust Companies offering trust services are not legally authorized to do so. The FAA DOES NOT vet the entities applying for registration as a Trustee.

By law, Corporate Trustees must be granted Trustee authority by either the state banking commissioner or by a court in the Company’s state of incorporation, AND their trust powers must be granted in their Articles of Incorporation.

Unfortunately, the FAA DOES NOT demand verifiable state governmentissued proof of this authority. The result is that many companies with the words “Trust” or “Trustee” in their name are allowed to register aircraft in trust at the FAA, though they do not have the legal authority to do so.

audit that a fixed amount of capital is available in a specified banking institution as a reserve in order to receive approval to exercise Trust Powers.

Cost/Service Ratio Many Trust Companies try to compete on cost alone, but often these companies sacrifice service for cost leading to slow response times, delays in receiving legal ownership documents, and a general lack of professionalism in dealing with clients.

How to Protect Yourself To protect yourself and your assets, be sure to ask the Trustee provider for written proof of state court confirmation or state bank commissioner granted Trustee power. And don’t be afraid to ask them about their capital reserve requirements and whether they have met them or not.

Just because your Trust Company says they are a Trustee, don’t assume they have the authority to act as one.

Capital Requirements Furthermore, most valid Trust Companies are required to have US$500k to $1m in capital reserves with the state banking commissioner.

Be informed and educated, and don’t be afraid to ask the right questions.

Remember, this is the safety of your money and your property so you have a right to know. Don’t be afraid to ensure that your Trust Company is Legitimate.

On a routine basis, state banking commissioners require a corporate entity asking for Trust powers to either deposit with the state banking commissioner a specified amount of funds OR show through a certified

Alpi Aviation UK returns to AeroExpo UK this year with the Pioneer 300 Hawk, the Italian manufacturer’s updated aircraft built to a UK Light Aircraft Association (LAA) specification…

Having unveiled the initial design of the aircraft at last year’s AeroExpo UK event, the 300 Hawk will be on static display at Wycombe Air Park, June 14-16, after undergoing the test flight phase at Alpi Aviation’s UK headquarters in Earls Colne (EGSR), which it shares with aircraft maintenance and refurbishment expert Cavendish Aviation.

The UK specification of the Pioneer 300 Hawk meets all LAA requirements and includes a Rotax 912 iS engine. Alpi Aviation UK’s Managing Director Steve Allen says, “We’re looking to revolutionise the light sport market with a quality product and first-class support.”

Pilots can buy the UK range of Pioneer aircraft in a fast kit-build format across three models, including the Pioneer 200 VLA, Pioneer 300 Hawk and Pioneer 400 which allows four seats and luggage space.

“Pioneer aircraft are a wood/ composite design and easily comparable in performance to both the RV12 and Bristell range,” adds Steve.

“We’ve launched our new Service and Repair Centre at Earls Colne which gives Alpi owners peace of mind and expert help if something happens to their aircraft.

The facility can also be used by owners who are in the Fast Kit-Build programme and need expert assistance when it comes to assembly that’s outside their skill-set.”

Pioneer pilots can source spare parts from Italy via Alpi Aviation UK, plus avionic and interior upgrades.

On the continent, Alpi Aviation has just launched its P300 Griffon and an updated version of the P400 with a Rotax 915 iS engine.

Peter Brabeck-Letmathe receives his Pilatus PC-24 from Oscar Schwenk

Pilatus Hands PC-24 Over to Peter Brabeck-Letmathe Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, former Chairman and CEO of the Nestlé Group, accepted the keys to his PC-24, serial number 104, becoming one of the very first owners to fly the brand-new Swiss business jet.

Businessman and experienced pilot Peter Brabeck-Letmathe personally took delivery of his PC-24, ordered in 2013, from Oscar J. Schwenk, Chairman of Pilatus, at a handover ceremony in Stans, Switzerland.

Flying is Mr Brabeck-Letmathe’s big passion having logged over 3,000 hours so far.

Brabeck-Letmathe attracted attention a year ago with the announcement that his new PC-24 would be purchased by his company, Brabair, and would be made available to private and business travellers in Europe, together with his existing PC-12 NG, within a newly founded ‘Flying Club 24’.

“It’s been worth the wait, my serial number 104 looks just fantastic,” said Brabeck-Letmathe at the handover. “I’ve been totally convinced by the PC-24 project since the earliest days. It’s a logical continuation of the Pilatus product family.

“The cockpit environment is exceptional within this category and the quality of the workmanship is exactly as one would expect from a Swiss product. I’m really looking

forward to taking the pilot’s seat and getting familiar with the unique capabilities of my Super Versatile Jet.” The PC-24 will be based in Sion, and the Brabair Super Versatile Jet will carry seven passengers plus pilot in a luxurious, ergonomic environment.

The large cargo door which comes as standard allows easy loading and unloading of large items of luggage and bulky cargo.

The PC-24’s short take-off and landing capabilities also open up new possibilities in terms of arriving closer to the final destination, thereby saving valuable time.

Oscar Schwenk added, “I’m delighted that such well-known personalities are happy to place their trust in our aircraft. Peter Brabeck-Letmathe has flown our single-engine PC-12 NG for a long time and will now operate a PC-24 in parallel.

“The fact that he opted for a brandnew, very recently certified PC-24 speaks for itself. I’m confident that he will be as happy with the PC-24 as we are. I look forward to receiving his feedback!”

WHITE PAPER

Residual Value and Maintenance Two Keystones of Proven Pilatus Success

The Pilatus PC-12 has now flown some 6.8 million flight hours, since certification in 1994. The earliest PC-12s are still flying, with some airframes already having amassed in excess of 35,000 flight hours. Indeed, organisations such as the U.S. government (with their U-28A version of the PC-12), the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Australian Royal Flying Doctors rely on Swiss engineering for rugged dependability, since the PC-12 was first introduced.

What is it that makes these aircraft such a success? Perhaps two often overlooked factors are residual value and service / maintenance philosophy and Pilatus has been voted number one for service yet again, for the sixteenth consecutive year, by Professional Pilot Magazine.

This success is largely due to the confluence of Pilatus’ quality airframe, with a proven powerplant and the fact that many operators of the PC-12’s highly acclaimed Pratt and Whitney Canada’s PT6A engine have successfully undergone life development programmes to extend hot section inspection intervals and engine overhaul lives by significant margins, highlights this engine’s proven record of durability and reliability.

aircraft is serviced. All Pilatus factory approved service centres worldwide operate to the very highest standards of safety and customer service and have performance targets and service level agreements that are monitored and audited by Pilatus themselves. This acts in the interests of the whole Pilatus community – Pilatus as a manufacturer, the Pilatus Centres and especially customers of Pilatus benefit from a reputation for service and dispatch reliability excellence, they can depend on. This in turn helps preserve the astonishing residual value of the PC-12.

A Rolland Vincent Associates study shows that the Pilatus PC-12 enjoys the strongest residual value of any business aircraft, by a significant margin and a 10 year old aircraft retains between 75% and 80% of its original value. We have already alluded to the importance of good maintenance as one of the key reasons for this and the newlycertified, PC-24 jet will be sold with a “Crystal Care” package, power-by-the hour programme, that is fully inclusive. This ensures maintenance in a strictly controlled environment and is designed to further enhance residual values. In addition, Pilatus and Pilatus Centres worldwide are highly disciplined in their ‘no-discount’ culture, which further protects our customers’ asset’s value. The aircraft is priced at the correct level for the market and Pilatus manufacture what the Pilatus Centres order, thereby minimising excessive levels of stock at any one time with its ensuing negative effect on prices and residual values.

Furthermore, one of the key attributes of PC-12 success is its low operating costs and Pilatus is constantly committed to continue striving to reduce these, for its customers.

For this reason, they have recently announced an extension of scheduled maintenance intervals from 100/150 hours to 300 hours. This will result in a reduction of required maintenance labour by 20% for operators flying around 300 hours per year, to up to 40% for high-utilisation operators, flying 800 hours per year. This translates to less down-time and fewer shop visits and allows for greater utilisation of our customers’ assets. Operators may now also package scheduled maintenance tasks to suit their own, unique operations, which allows for even greater flexibility.

In short, Pilatus is not only committed to manufacturing a quality product but, in collaboration with its service centres worldwide, they are committed to reducing maintenance and operating costs wherever possible. The highest standards of maintenance enhance not only safety but also residual values, supported through a strong network of worldwide Pilatus Centres working proactively to uphold our customers’ assets’ values, day after day.

Needless to say, keeping the aircraft well maintained is key to a safe and reliable operation and it is for this reason that Pilatus control so tightly, where and how your

“We had a lot of interest in the aircraft at AERO Friedrichshafen [in April],” noted Edwin Brenninkmeyer, CEO of Oriens Aviation. “It is a show that goes from strength from strength for us,” he added.

Sales director Craig Lammiman added that the business is seeing increased interest from existing and potential customers about connectivity and WiFi installations – on both new units and retrofits.

Meanwhile, Oriens’ new Service Centre at Biggin Hill, Oriens Maintenance Services, which complements its sales activity with MRO support, plus warranty work, AOC and pilot training advisory, has had a good start since its formal opening in February.

It has performed one annual inspection, a couple of 100-hour checks, handled a few AOG situations and has a healthy number of forward bookings for maintenance over the next few months, said the company.

As GA Buyer Europe closed for press, PC-12 owners were preparing for the annual convention of the Pilatus Owners and Pilots Association (POPA) in New Orleans, 7-9 June.

The avionics have also been improved with functions that assist with flight and performance (e.g. airfield) planning; envelope protection for roll and angle-of-attack; and autopilot coupled go-around with underspeed protection.

Meanwhile Central Europe’s first HondaJet available for charter appeared recently at Chopin-Warsaw Airport. The aircraft, owned by Chopin Vodka, becomes the first HondaJet available for private charter throughout Europe and Russia (through HondaJet Central Europe). www.hondajet.com

Flight Activity: Charter Up in Europe

Pilatus Lessens PC-12 Maintenance Burden

Business Aviation traffic bounced back in April with a 5% YoY increase, according to WingX Advance, after a slowdown in March.

Stans, Switzerland-based Pilatus Aircraft has announced a new PC-12 Master Maintenance Plan, reducing required maintenance man-hours by 20-40%.

Traffic improved in France, the UK, Switzerland and Germany (the latter seeing activity jump 11% in April) and is up 4.8% through the first four months of the year.

Overall, charter flights saw a 6% increase, and private flights a 4% increase in April.

Turboprop flights enjoyed the greatest gains during April, up 7% YoY, while the business jet segment was up by 4%.

Super-midsize business jets marked the strongest growth (up 20% YoY), reflecting the rejuvenation of fractional fleets, according to WingX. Small jet flights climbed by more than 10% in France, Germany and Switzerland, offsetting declines in Italy and Spain. www.wingx-advance.com

Under the new plan operators can also package maintenance tasks and use “pre-packaged” tasks under six intervals: 300FH; 300FH/12 months; 600FH; 600FH/12 months; 1,200FH/12 months; and 2,400FH/24 months (on a “whichever comes first” basis).

Ignaz Gretener, Pilatus vice president, commented, “We know that low direct operating costs are one of the more important reasons for purchasing a PC-12.”

GE Tests Catalyst Engine For Denali GE Aviation has started the certification test program for its newly-named Catalyst engine that will power the Cessna Denali single-engine turboprop, which is due to enter service in 2020.

Meanwhile Pilatus is to increase the production rate for its new PC-24 jet to 40 next year and 50 in 2020. It has delivered the first four, with around 23 due to roll off the production line this year. Testing continues on dirt and grass airstrips and with steep approaches, for some operators. www.pilatus-aircraft.com 30 TURBINE BUYER EUROPE JULY 2018

The test engine has already run 60 hours this year, and a second test engine is almost complete. Certification testing will begin with altitude and ingestion tests.

The Fadec-equipped, 1,240 shaft horse-power engine will have single-lever power and propeller control. The airplane will be equipped with McCauley’s new 105-inch diameter composite, 5-blade, constant speed propeller.

Quest Upgrades Kodiak Turboprop

SyberJet Warms Up SJ30i

Your PC-12 Satellite Service Centre The Quest Kodiak made its EBACE debut in Geneva in late May.

Quest Aircraft has launched an upgraded version of its Kodiak single-engine turboprop aircraft. The $2.1m list-price Series II (Kodiak II) will feature Garmin G1000 NXi avionics and a two-year subscription to Garmin Pilot.

Attention to the airframe includes features designed to reduce cabin noise, while the aircraft’s Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34 engine now includes a chip detector in the accessory gearbox.

Safe Flight’s angle of attack indexer has been added, with an indicator mounted in the pilot’s field of view. A single digital fourin-one standby instrument is included. Two Bose A20 ANR headsets are included with the Series II and the L3 LDR1000 cockpit voice and data recorders is available as an optional extra. www.questaircraft.com

Cedar City, Utah-based SyberJet Aircraft has started ground testing the SJ30i in preparation for the revamped light business jet’s first flight in Q3 this year.

The $8.3m, Williams International FJ44-2Apowered SJ30i is an upgraded version of the SJ30-2, which was certificated in 2005 by its former owner, Emivest Aerospace.

Four examples were delivered and remain in service today. The program was acquired in 2011 by SyberJet’s parent company MTI, whose subsidiary Metalcraft Technologies was the aft fuselage supplier.

The SJ30i's flight-test campaign is expected to take a year to complete and will involve around 250 hours of flying. The company hopes to get an amendment to the type certificate in mid-2019 with first delivery soon afterwards. www.syberjet.com

Avionics Sales Up 13 Percent in Q1 According to AEA, total worldwide business and general aviation avionics sales amounted to almost $640m in Q1 2018, representing a 13% increase versus Q1 2017.

Italy’s Piaggio Aerospace, which was acquired by Abu Dhabi, UAE-based Mubadala in 2014, said its new five-year plan unveiled in December has already led to positive results with sales of its $7.7 million Avanti Evo turboprop twin picking up, and plans to gradually increase production.

As of late May there were 20 aircraft in various stages of assembly on Piaggio's production line in Villa d’Albenga, Italy, including 12 Avanti Evos. The other eight airframes are Hammerhead P.1HH unmanned variants destined for the UAE armed forces. More than 230 P.180 Avantis are now in service worldwide, 10 of which are the new-generation Evos.

Meanwhile the company has partnered with Walterboro, South Carolina-based LowCountry Aviation to develop an STC for upgrading the P.180 Avanti I turboprop twin with the Magnaghi Aeronautica main and nose landing gear (featuring digital steering system) developed for the current Avanti Evo. The FAA STC should be available by the end of 2018, with EASA approval expected later.

Piaggio has also unveiled its 100th anniversary logo. The company dates back to Rinaldo Piaggio S.p.A in Genoa in 1884, but was officially established in 1918.

Of this total, 56.8% were accounted for by the retrofit market, while forward-fit sales accounted for the remaining 43.2% sales.

According to the companies that separated their total sales figures between North America (US and Canada) and elsewhere, 76.1% of the Q1 2018 sales volume occurred in North America while 23.9% took place in international markets. www.aea.net/marketreport

Daher Preps For Wider Adoption of SETs Daher was at the EBACE show in Geneva in May to promote single-engine turboprop for commercial operations now EU regulations allow so-called ‘SET-IMC’.

“These European regulations…open up new market opportunities for the TBM, including the latest TBM 910 and TBM 930 versions,” said Nicolas Chabbert, senior vice president of the Daher’s Airplane Business Unit. He noted that already TBM commercial operators in Europe had increased their activity, especially in France “where labor strikes have impacted the scheduled air transport sector.”

TBM continues to improve its aircraft. Its 2018 aircraft have an improved pilot interface including backlighting on the cockpit’s central console to provide enhanced visibility at night. Additionally, a high-fidelity microphone has been incorporated into the pilot’s oxygen mask for clear communications with ATC when the mask is in use.

At EBACE Daher was also demonstrating the functionality of its new “Me & My TBM” app. The Tarbes, France-based company said it is now planning for Oshkosh in July. “Looking to the second half of 2018, ‘longevity’ will be one of our themes at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in – where we’ll be exhibiting an aircraft that represents a true milestone in the TBM’s production run, while also celebrating the 30th anniversary of the TBM’s first flight in July 2008,” said Chabbert.

AeroWave Makes a Splash in Aircraft Connectivity How does BendixKing’s AeroWave 100 work, and why is it proving so popular with Light jet and Turboprop operators? Discover more here…

The ability to email, text, and make calls from almost anywhere is something that we expect. Connectivity is becoming a standard in today’s world, and we are becoming reliant on it.

Until the last couple years, however, connectivity for the Turboprop and Light jet market has been very cost prohibitive, with systems carrying huge price tags for hardware, and even more for installation. On top of that, the antennas were the size of a checked bag to support outrageously expensive (per Megabyte) data plans.

Introducing AeroWave 100 AeroWave 100TM was first introduced in 2014 before going through a major upgrade in 2016 making it lighter and easier to install, giving us the AeroWave 100 used today. So what is it?

According to BendixKing, AeroWave is the lowest cost satellite-based Internet solution for Turboprops and Light jets, and is capable of download speeds of 104Kbps. It’s billed per hour of use, which means no data overage charges or trying to budget for costly per Mb plans.

The system has been designed to decrease installation complexity and cost by including a built-in GPS eliminating the need to tie into other aircraft systems for position data. AeroWave 100 was born from Honeywell’s Air Transport and higherend business jet solutions, and with an innovative lightweight, small teardrop antenna BendixKing was able to make it an option for smaller airframes.

The total system weight is around 12lbs, with the hardware starting at US$24,995 depending on how the system is installed, plus an additional $3,995 for the data router.

Airtime is purchased in 50-hour blocks for $1,999 ($39.98/hour) and expires one year from the date of purchase. The system can be turned on and off from a switch in the cockpit, helping avoid wasted time when the system is not in use.

What Can it Do? AeroWave 100 is designed to support 2-4 devices connected to the system at one time, and the 104Kbps can support email, text-based web browsing, and Wi-Fi texting. WhatsApp is proven to work very well on the system, as it’s optimized to work on low bandwidth.

Whether the need is to contact the FBO, keep up with emails, or let a loved one or business associate know if you’re running early or late, the AeroWave 100 system can facilitate the need.

Meanwhile, streaming of services like YouTube or Netflix are automatically blocked by a ground firewall to help ensure the system’s optimal performance.

For Those Needing More…

A faster 200 Kbps option is available for those willing to spend the extra money. If you’re a pilot using a tablet as an electronic flight bag (EFB), for example, AeroWave 100 gives you the option to file flight plans in flight, check METARs and TAFs, connect with operations and dispatch, and check the weather. With no altitude requirements, these tasks can be undertaken mid-air or on the ground.

Extensive Coverage The AeroWave system utilizes the Inmarsat satellite constellation which has a long history of providing connectivity in the business and air transport space.

Worldwide coverage is provided by three satellites in geosynchronous orbit 22,000 miles above the equator. Coverage goes from about 60 degrees south to 60 degrees north latitude.

BendixKing works to continually update its AeroWave 100 with features and system performance improvements. Recently, for example, the company added antenna filters and new router software to significantly improve the reliability of the connection.

New EASA Validation for RG-390E/30 Platinum Series Lead Acid Battery Replacement for Cessna Mustang

®

New EASA Validation! Direct replacement of the original equipment battery with the FAA Certified RG-390E/30 30 Amp Hour Concorde Battery offers the benefits of prolonged service life and extended maintenance intervals as a result of enhanced plate design and a proprietary PolyGuard® separator system. High cyclic operations, susceptible to early battery wear, will realize longer life as a result of the technology used in the RG-390E/30.

Additionally, this robust battery design extends the inspection interval with initial inspection required at 12 months or 1000 hours in service and subsequent capacity tests at six months or 500 hours, when initial capacity exceeds 90%.

Install using EASA STC 10065246 and FAA STC SA02653LA.

Cavendish Showcases Aerocoat at AeroExpo

Cavendish Aviation returns to this year’s AeroExpo UK at Wycombe Air Park (June 14-16) to showcase its range of aircraft interior and exterior services following a busy 12 months that has seen work in the charter jet industry…

Prominent among its exhibit is its Aerocoat process – the application of nano coating technology to aircraft surfaces. TAG Aviation Europe has used Cavendish’s expertise on a Gulfstream G650 that flies out of London Luton Airport.

“It was fantastic to work with a world class operator in TAG Aviation Europe and we’re looking forward to bringing our expertise to more business jets across the globe this year,” says Cavendish’s Business Development Manager, Matt Phillips.

“We’re proud of our General Aviation roots and our experience in the charter jet market can only add to our day-to-day customer service for old and new Cavendish clients.”

Cavendish Aviation have perfected the Aerocoat interior/exterior technology on over 60 aircraft in both the UK and USA with pilots flying to its Earls Colne airfield base (EGSR) in Essex from the continent

to receive the full nano coating process.

The Aerocoat exterior process guarantees exquisite ramp presence and UV resistance while the reduction in boundary layer drag improves an aircraft’s ground speed, fuel efficiency and cleaning time.

The interior process eliminates stains and spillages from aircraft carpet and upholstery.

Having originally made its mark on the aviation industry by refurbishing the Socata TB series of aircraft, Cavendish Aviation today offers all aircraft owners and pilots bespoke interior overhauls, including seats, carpets and handstitched yokes.

Cavendish recently upgraded its Part M, Subpart F CAA certification to include ARC issue, and has been working hard to enhance its maintenance team at Earls Colne, helping to give clients a one-stopshop for all of their aircraft requirements.

s Hawker Beechcraft parts for Debonairs through Hawker jets. s Beech control surfaces available overhauled or repaired to factory specifications. s De-ice equipment for many makes of aircraft. s Discounted pricing & outstanding customer service.

What Makes the

Airbus ©Airbus Helicopters Anthony Pecchi

ACH125 Popular with

Private

Users?

© Airbus Helicopters Patrick Penna

For more than 40 years, pilots and companies around the world have been voting with their hard-earned cash.

1974 saw the introduction of the AS350 Ecureuil helicopter and, 7,000 manufactured units and 30 million flight hours later, the latest version of the aircraft continues to be hugely successful with customers worldwide. Here’s why…

Today the renamed H125, capable of lifting its own weight in payload, is used across all environments for private and business, utility and aerial missions. Its high performance, reliability (offering 90% availability) and affordability makes it a natural choice for operating in extreme conditions and locations including maritime, high plateau and mountainous regions, remote wilderness and tough, arid habitats.

But its sports car-inspired lightweight design, offering a versatile and responsive performance make it the single-engine turbine helicopter of choice with private owner aviation enthusiasts who represent a major proportion of the approximately 5,000 aircraft flying today.

Private and Business Aviation Market Platform

© Airbus Helicopters Patrick Penna

While Airbus Helicopters has long catered for the Private and Business Aviation market, it was only in May 2017 that the company developed a dedicated Private and Business Aviation platform – Airbus Corporate Helicopters (ACH) – from which to better meet the needs and expectations of this market.

And bringing together the heritage of aerospace engineering excellence with ACH’s new focus on quality and a service-based approach to customers has given the aircraft a new lease of life in this segment, turning a classic into the hot turbine helicopter of the moment.

The ACH125 is powerful, fun and consistently performs to, and in many cases above, expectations and, when fitted with the elegant Stylence by ACH interior, represents a model form of transport for those with high standards who enjoy first hand the thrill of flying. With capacity for up to six passengers (albeit in basic configuration) the ACH125 allows the demanding, no-compromise owners and operators to share this comfortable and convenient lifestyle experience with friends, families, clients and colleagues.

The latest update in engine, avionics (including the Garmin G500) and flight control systems deliver outstanding capabilities, enhanced situational awareness and improved safety while building on the formidable availability and intuitive piloting which make the ACH125 the lifestyle asset par excellence.

Setting New Standards in Private and Business Aviation As part of the launch of ACH, through the manufacturer’s operations at its Oxford-based UK headquarters (home to Britain’s Civil Helicopter Hub) the company has established ACH’s European Centre of Excellence.

Here, customers will find a one-stop shop combining in-house, UK-based skills and capability in the provision of bespoke corporate and VIP rotary-wing solutions fine-tuned over many years of experience, along with ACH’s new, industry-leading quality standards and service-approach to business.

This ensures an end-to-end customer experience where, from first contact of a potential future customer, through to provision of 24/7 conciergestyle support services (which helps achieve high availability while retaining resale value), pilots and owners benefit from the manufacturer’s own unmatched commitment and expertise.

While it is easy to highlight the strengths of the aircraft and the company’s front-of-house display offering, a candid perspective may point at cases of costly delays or impacts on availability which are easily laid at the feet of the manufacturer.

However, it is also true that through the manufacturer customers have a direct access to the design authority expertise and knowledge, which no other organisation can offer, along with the shortest supply chain for spares in the industry. With no one to fall back on, direct customers will know that all issues have to be dealt with in full transparency – after all there are no third parties who can be held accountable.

It is safe to say that with the launch of ACH and the increased integration of Airbus Helicopters’ UK operations with the wider company, both aircraft and support services are delivered to new and improved standards.

They say life starts at 40, and with both the H125 Squirrel and Airbus Helicopters in the UK not long past this birthday, it would certainly appear to be the case.

What is the Bell 505 Like to Fly? Having taken delivery of a new Bell 505, Helicompany Ltd spoke with GA Buyer Europe to explain how they are enjoying operating their new aircraft…

The 505 Jet Ranger X is Bell’s new five-seat aircraft designed for safety, efficiency and reliability through the use of advanced avionics technology, and incorporates proven dynamic components, advanced aerodynamic design, a dual channel FADEC Turbomeca Arrius 2R engine and best-inclass value.

Helicompany: It is a fantastic way to travel about the UK, the increased speed, performance and ease of use have made traveling much more enjoyable and stress free.

GA Buyer: Compared to other helicopters you’ve flown, what is it like to fly? Are there any noticeable characteristics about the Bell 505 that have surprised you?

It offers a 125kts maximum cruise speed and capability for 1,500lbs useful load. Operators can enjoy a range of up to 306 nautical miles.

Helicompany: The Bell 505 is an amazing helicopter for the pilot, it is very easy to operate and has an enormous amount of power.

Versatility at its Core

The reliability, speed, performance and manoeuvrability of the Bell 505 is integrated with a flat floor, open cabin that is configurable for a wide variety of missions and payloads. The spacious cabin can be configured to carry up to four passengers or for internal cargo missions by removing quick disconnect rear cabin seats and/or co-pilot seat.

The seats are much more comfortable than the old JetRanger and the visibility for both the pilots and passengers is fantastic.

GA Buyer: And how about passenger comfort – how would you say the Bell 505 ranks?

Helicompany: The passenger seats are comfortable and there is lots of legroom. The visibility from the back seats is fantastic.

The Bell 505’s flat floor cabin design and large rectangular baggage compartment lets the Bell 505 adapt to changing mission needs very easily, and these features combined with a reliable drivetrain and rotor system make the Bell 505 an excellent multi-mission aircraft in the short light single-engine market.

GA Buyer: What are some of the missions the Bell 505 has flown for you since you had it delivered?

Helicompany: We flew the 505 from Yorkshire to Jersey in around 2.5 hours with four people and luggage. The great thing is, we were able to take full-fuel so we only had to stop for fuel once.

GA Buyer: Helicompany is the proud operator of a new Bell 505. As an ‘early adopter’ in the UK, what is it about the Bell 505 that led you to purchase this aircraft?

The helicopter cruised comfortably at 125 knots and made the trip so easy and enjoyable.

Helicompany: As an operator of a Bell 206 for over 10 years, we were keen to update our aircraft and the Bell 505 was an easy choice for us.

GA Buyer: Are there any plans to expand the types of missions your Bell 505 flies in the future?

The new technology as well as the speed, power and performance was what made the Bell 505 stand out. It is unbeatable.

Helicompany: In the future we would like to put the 505 onto an Air Operators Certificate so we can provide a charter service with the aircraft.

GA Buyer: And having placed the Bell 505 in operation, how is it helping you to deliver on your objectives better?

We think customers will really appreciate the increased speed, payload and passenger comfort.

Oceanwatch Now on Schiebel Camcopter Vienna, Austria-based Schiebel and Overwatch Imaging have successfully integrated PT8 Oceanwatch on a Camcopter S-100.

Oceanwatch autonomously detects small targets on the ocean surface, outperforming conventional cameras “that face insurmountably large areas when zoomed in and invisible targets when zoomed out,” said Schiebel. Hans Georg Schiebel, chairman of the Schiebel Group, said: “Fitted with powerful payloads such as Oceanwatch and a best-in-class electro-optical/infra-red (EO/IR) gimbal, it provides an unsurpassed capacity for a range of mission-critical naval operations.”

Oceanwatch applications include intelligence gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance, search and rescue, anti-piracy and maritime security operations. www.schiebel.net

HeliOffshore Issues Safety Pledge At the fourth annual conference of industry organization HeliOffshore (held 6-7th May in Baveno, Italy), delegates agreed to a renewed focus on safety initiatives.

According to Fawaz Bitar, chairman of the IOGP Management Committee and BP’s head of global operations, upstream, BP alone transports 2,500 passengers every day by helicopter and fixed wing aircraft.

“In a decade, the oil and gas industry has halved fatalities and our mission is now to eliminate all loss of life. This is no longer a vision. It is an expectation.”

HeliOffshore CEO Gretchen Haskins noted, “We’ve achieved so much in the four years since HeliOffshore was formed, [but] there is no room for complacency and there is so much more we can achieve for safety.” www.Helioffshore.org

Maintenance Check Flight Training at Ruag RUAG Aviation test pilots have started to train other Swiss pilots for helicopter Maintenance Check Flights (MCF), which will be subject to EASA regulation for the first time from 2019.

“Maintenance Check Flights are a critical aspect of the safety process for all aircraft.

As a centre of excellence in this specific area, we have considerable expertise and resources to contribute,” states Heinz Scholl, senior vice president military aviation, RUAG Aviation.

In 2019 EASA will introduce regulations for MCF, clearly defining pilot requirements and applying stringent procedures to the testing process for helicopters and other complex platforms. www.ruag.com

RUAG Aviation was named as one of the first helicopter services providers in Europe to earn OEM approvals for MRO on the new Bell Helicopter 505 (JRX). RUAG also holds reassembly capabilities.

“We are dedicated to providing complete, state-of-the-art support on behalf of our customers and all the helicopters in their fleet.

Attending the first available technical courses, like the recent instruction for the Bell 505, is essential to this approach,” states Claudio Zeiter, Team Leader Commercial Helicopter Services, RUAG Aviation.

The completion of the Bell Helicopter Training Academy course also allows RUAG to reassemble the new Bell helicopter.

The importance of reassembly services becomes evident during the Bell 505 order process.

Helicopters are shipped, partially dissembled.

While Bell completely assembles and hands over the helicopters at its North America facilities, the helicopter is then separated into airframe, tail boom, main rotor blades and transmission for shipping to Europe.

“The reassembled helicopters require testing and the certificate of release to service. We encourage all Bell 505 customers in Europe to direct the shipping of their new helicopter to our facilities in Sion, Switzerland. Our trained specialists ensure a reliable and prompt reassembly,” confirms Zeiter.

Subsequent to training at the Bell Helicopter Training Academy, the RUAG helicopter services center earned the approval ratings for the Bell 505 under its European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 145 classification.

A Center of Excellence for helicopters, the team at the facility performs all maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services on the Bell 505 and additional support services required before start of operation.

The Bell Helicopter 505 (JRX) will be presented at the RUAG facility in Sion as part of the aircraft’s European launch tour.
