GAB Comparative Analysis Feb16.qxp_Master Page GA 05/02/2016 15:51 Page 1

Aircraft Comparative Analysis:

Airbus AS350-B3

Mike Chase provides information on two popular Single Turbine Helicopters for the purpose of valuing the Airbus (Eurocopter) AS350-B3. should focus on payload capability as a key factor. The AS350-B3 ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ at 708 pounds is slightly less than the Bell 206L-4 at 737 pounds.

In addition, Table A shows the fuel usage by each aircraft in this field of study. The AS350-B3 burns the most fuel at 45 gallons per hour (GPH) of the two comparative helicopters. The Bell 206L-4 is the most frugal (37 GPH) according to Aircraft Cost Calculator.

Over the following paragraphs, we’ll consider productivity parameters (payload/range, speed and cabin size) and cover current and future market values for Airbus AS350-B3s. The field in this comparative study includes the Bell LongRanger 206L-4.

Brief History The AS350-B3 Ecureuil is the high performance version of the single-engine Ecureuil series. It features a more powerful engine than the AS350B2 Ecureuil along with improved engine control via a twist grip on the collective-pitch lever.

In North America, this model is commonly known as the AS350-B3 AStar, and it was later also manufactured in American Eurocopter's plant at Golden Triangle Airport in Lowndes County near Columbus, Mississippi. In 2010, a new serialization sequence was started for the AS350-B3, beginning with serial number 7001.

The AS350 B3 was produced from 1997 to 2012.

The H125 (formerly the AS-350B-3e) replaced it on the market following the end of its production.

Chart B - Range Comparison Airbus/Eurocopter AS350-B3 292.50 Nm Bell 206L4 246.68 Nm

Cabin Cross-Sections According to Conklin & de Decker, the AS350-B3 cabin volume is 61 cubic feet and its cabin length is 6.56 ft. The Bell 206L-4 is larger in cabin volume - 73 cu. ft. - but shorter in length at 5 ft.

Chart A below, (courtesy of UPCAST JETBOOK) shows the side-by-side comparisons. The AS350B3 offers a significantly wider, and slightly taller cabin than the Bell 206L-4.

To explain the larger cabin volume for the Bell model, Conklin & de Decker clarifies there are differences between the models. Not included in the calculation is pilot area. It should be noted that the AS350 includes the copilot as a passenger so that portion is included in the cabin volume but the Bell 206 doesn’t. The AS350 also curves while the Bell 206 cabin is square. Lots of space is therefore not countable for the AS350.

Worldwide Appeal There are 1,023 wholly-owned AS350-B3 helicopters in operation worldwide. In addition there are seven in shared ownership and two in fractional ownership (total operational fleet of 1,032).

131 units (or 12.7% of the AS350-B3 in operation fleet) are leased, according to JETNET. By continent, North America has the largest fleet percentage (39%), followed by Europe (31%) and South America (10%), for a combined total of 80%. Additionally, 46% of the 1,032 AS350-B3 helicopters in operation today are in fleet ownership. The largest fleet operator (Air Methods in Englewood, CO, USA) has 46 helicopters.

Chart A - Cabin Cross-Sections

Range Comparison

As depicted by Chart B (above) and using Centennial Airport, Colorado (home to Air Methods’ 46 unit AS350-B3 helicopter fleet) as the origin point, the AS350-B3 shows more range coverage than the Bell 206L-4, as sourced from Aircraft Cost Calculator (ACC).

Note: The lines depicted do not include winds aloft or any other weather-related obstacles.

Powerplant Details The AS350-B3 is powered by a single Turbomeca Arriel 2B engine with the highest power rating value of 847 SHD compared to the Bell 206L-4 helicopter with 726 SHD from its single Rolls-Royce 250-C30P engine. The transmission rating is a limiting fact or in the total rated and usable engine power output.

The average speed, cabin volume and maximum payload values are from Conklin & de Decker and B&CA, while the number of aircraft in-operation and percentage ‘For Sale’ are as reported by JETNET. The AS350-B3 has 5.9% of its fleet currently ‘For Sale’ and the Bell 206L-4 has 5.5% for sale. The average number of pre -owned transactions (sold) per month for the AS350B3 is higher at five per month than the Bell 206L-4 at four per month, as shown in the last column of the table. ➤

Asking Prices vs Age, Airframe Total Time & Quantity

3. The cabin volume available for passengers and amenities.

Chart D (below), sourced from the Multi-dimensional Economic Evaluators Inc. (www.meevaluators.com), shows a Value and Demand chart for the pre-owned AS350-B3.

The current pre-owned market for the AS350-B3 helicopter shows a total of 69 aircraft ‘For Sale’ with 23 displaying an asking price, thus we have plotted them.

We also added the pre-owned Bell 206L-4 in our study group with asking prices ranging from $500k to $2.8m. The equation that we derived from these asking prices and other criteria used should enable sellers and buyers to compare, and perhaps adjust their offerings, if necessary.

Demand and Value are on opposite sides of the same Price axis.

Thus, the market for used AS350-B3 and Bell 206 L-4 helicopters responds to at least four features: Years, Useful Load, Quantity, and Asking Prices.

Productivity Comparisons

The points in Chart E are centered on the same aircraft. Pricing used in the vertical axis is as published in the Vref Pricing Guide. The productivity index requires further discussion in that the factors used can be somewhat arbitrary.

Productivity can be defined (and it is here) as the multiple of three factors: 1. Range with full payload and available fuel; 2. The long range cruise speed flown to achieve that range;

Others may choose different parameters, but serious business aircraft buyers are usually impressed with Price, Range, Speed and Cabin Size. After consideration of the Price, Range, Speed and Cabin Size, we can conclude that the Airbus AS350-B3 displays a high level of productivity.

Popular attributes of the Airbus AS350-B3 are greater range and long-range cruise speed compared to the Bell 206L-4. However, price and the variable cost per hour are higher for the Airbus AS350-B3 and the available payload is lower.

Thus both helicopters are very strong competitors. Operators should weigh their mission requirements precisely when picking the option that is the best for them.

Summary Within the preceding paragraphs we have touched upon several of the attributes that business aircraft operators value. There are other qualities such as airport performance, terminal area performance, and time-to-climb that might factor in a buying decision, however.

The Airbus AS350-B3 continues to be very popular on today’s market. Those operators in the market should find the preceding comparison useful.

Our expectations are that the Airbus AS350B3, which started delivering in 1997, will continue to do very well in the pre-owned markets for the foreseeable future. T

Airbus Helicopters additional H135 helicopters to LPR, Poland in 2015.

Capitalising on its transformation plan that has put the company’s priorities on customer satisfaction, quality and safety, and competitiveness, Airbus Helicopters focused its efforts in 2015 on executing its strategic roadmap and meeting its targets against a challenging market backdrop and delays in the key military campaigns.

During 2015, Airbus Helicopters delivered 395 rotorcraft from the company’s civil, parapublic and military product lines, strengthening its leading position on the civil & parapublic market while maintaining its share of the worldwide military market. Meanwhile, the company booked 383 orders – adjusted to 333 due to contract amendments for governmental NH90 and Tiger helicopters – with a strong performance of the new-generation medium H175. Demand remained steady for the H135 and H145 family of light twin helicopters, with bookings levels exceeding the company’s targets for 2015.

“We are now harvesting the fruit of our strategic transformation plan that puts us in the best position to operate successfully despite a challenging market environment”, said Guillaume Faury, President and CEO of Airbus Helicopters. “Our focus on customer satisfaction, quality and safety, as well as competitiveness has produced tangible results on our journey to go from the biggest to the best and to become the benchmark of the helicopter industry”, he added.

2003 EC- COLIBRI 120B

Highlights of last year include a strong commercial performance of the 7-ton H175 with 36 units booked, exceeding the company’s objectives for 2015. The gross order book of the H175 is now up to 101 units after being endorsed last year by several key oil & gas operators despite the low price of the barrel impacting them. Operated by NHV since December 2014, the H175 has achieved 2000 flight hours with a high level of availability thanks to the work done to improve maturity at entry into service. A first order for the public services variant was also placed in 2015 by Hong Kong operator GFS.

8 HELI BUYER EUROPE MARCH 2016

“The focus on our customers is resonating well with them as external surveys are now placing Airbus Helicopters in second position for customer satisfaction” explained Guillaume Faury. “In 2016 we will maintain our efforts to implement improvements for the benefit of our customers, and providing them with high-performing and reliable aircraft for their demanding missions,” Faury explained. “In this challenging environment, we are also preparing the future – the H Generation – embodied by the H160 and the X6,” he added.

In 2015, Airbus Helicopters successfully launched the flight-test phase of the new H160 medium helicopter, the first member of the “H Generation”.

A second prototype joined the flight-test campaign

MARCH 2016 by the end of 2015, allowing the aircraft to open the flight envelope and validating some of the helicopter’s excellent features and outstanding handling qualities right from the start.

“After a very busy year 2015 in terms of flight activities, introducing PT2 is an important step in the H160 development as we will launch performance testing with the Turbomeca Arrano engines.” said Bernard Fujarski, head of the H160 Program. “The development program will benefit from 5 development aircraft; two helicopter zeros and three flying prototypes will be paving the way to entry into service in 2018.” he added.

2016 will be an equally active year for the H160 with the beginning of its commercialization and many other milestones in helicopter development, industrialization and preparation of support activities in order to bring a fully mature helicopter to the market.

in 2016, a year that will also see the launch of the H160 commercialization. In 2015, Airbus Helicopters also delivered the first H145M to the German armed forces, only two years after the contract was awarded for the development of this new, militarized version of the leading H145 helicopter. At the Helitech exhibition in London, the company also announced an upgrade of the H135 equipped with the Helionix digital avionics suite developed by Airbus Helicopters and providing increased safety and reduced pilot workload.

Major achievements in the field of safety during 2015, with the leading-edge H225 at the forefront of the developments, are the full implementation of the Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) a document outlining best practices and recommendations for oil and gas missions - by North Sea operators in 2015 and the certification of Rig ‘N Fly, an advanced avionics solution for “one-touch” approaches to oil rigs.

Last year was also an important one for Airbus Helicopters on the international stage, expanding its partnerships and international footprint. The company was selected by Korean Aerospace Industries as a strategic partner in the LCH-LAH development, ten years after the two companies partnered for the development of the Surion. This will bring an evolution of the H155 to the market in civil and military applications with several hundred units to be produced.

In the customer service domain, Airbus Helicopters launched HCare at Heli-Expo last March as the industry’s most comprehensive coverage emphasizing the company’s commitment to keep its customers flying, anytime, anywhere. Since then, the company started operations with its 24/7, 365 days a year technical hotline to provide non-stop support to all customers. Airbus Helicopters also won emblematic support contracts such as the seven-year comprehensive co-operative support and services agreement for the German Air Force’s fleet of 15 H145M helicopters and the 5 year-year global service solution for the 50 EC145 fleet for the Gendarmerie Nationale and Sécurité Civile.

This year will be another year of transformation for Airbus Helicopters as the company will be modernizing its industrial capabilities. The Marignane Development Centre, designed to support innovation and future programs, will be inaugurated this year along with the new centre of excellence for blade production “Paris-Le-Bourget”.

An all new automated final assembly line for the H160 will also be inaugurated second half of this year.

2015 at a glance: - Civil and parapublic market position moved up to 45 percent share in terms of aircraft delivered.

- Civil products represented 50 percent of consolidated turnover; military was 50 percent – Airbus Helicopters’ products accounted for 53 percent of consolidated turnover; the other 47 percent was generated by services The 383 bookings in 2015 by product range were: - H120/H125/H130 family: 163 - H135: 49 - H145: 107 - H155 family: 13 - H175: 36 - H225 family: 2 - Tiger: 7 - NH90: 6 I More information visit -

2015 also saw the R66 production numbers speed past the H120 total, a comparative five seat turbine. Additionally, the story of the new R44 Cadet model was prematurely available in November, which led to Robinson Helicopter Company having to put out a press release some months ahead of schedule – launch was originally intended at Heli-Expo 2016.

For comparative figures, here are the numbers for the last five years.

2014 production was 329 helicopters – 101 R66s, 186 R44s and 42 R22s 2013 production was 523 helicopters – 192 R66s, 289 R44s and 42 R22s 2012 production was 517 helicopters – 191 R66s, 286 R44s and 40 R22s 2011 production was 356 helicopters – 88 R66s, 212 R44s and 56 R22s 2010 production was 162 helicopters – 10 R66s, 112 R44s and 40 R22s

Hungarian Mil Mi-17 to be replaced.

According to Russia's Arms Trade Analysis Centre, Hungary is interested in purchasing 30 Russian helicopters. Hungary plans to buy about 30 Russian helicopters with the value of the contract expected to reach $490 million, a spokesperson for Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre for Analysis of World Arms Trade (CAWAT) said during January.

"In February, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban plans to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which they will discuss the delivery of up to 30 Russian helicopters to the Hungarian Air Force," the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson added that the value of the potential contract has been estimated at 142 billion Hungarian forints (some $490 million).

The spokesperson pointed out that in the future the scope of the contract between the two countries could be expanded since Hungary is seeking to replace its fleet of Mi-8/Mi-17 helicopters, some of which have been in operation since 1969.

consumers. With VK-2500PS-03 engines developed by Klimov, APU Safir that ensures engine start at heights up to 6,000 m, advanced aerodynamics of the main rotor’s composite blades, and the X-shaped anti-torque rotor, this helicopter has better speed performance, lifting capacity, enhanced capabilities in mountain areas, at high temperatures and humidity, and lower operational expenses.

New Technology to clear 1cm thick ice on Rotor Blades A new nanotech coating can melt ice on helicopter blades and might offer a new way to de-ice aircraft, wind turbines, and power lines.

Rice University researchers, from left, In tests, the material melted Gedeng Ruan, chemist James Tour centimetre-thick and Yilun Li. ice from a static helicopter rotor blade in a minus 4 degree Fahrenheit environment.

When a small voltage was applied, the coating delivered electrothermal heat, called Joule heating, to the surface, which melted the ice.

The coating is a mixture of graphene nanoribbons in epoxy. The nanoribbons, produced commercially by unzipping nanotubes, are highly conductive.

Scientists embedded graphene nanoribbon-infused epoxy in a section of helicopter blade to test its ability to remove ice through Joule heating. Rather than trying to produce large sheets of expensive graphene, scientists in the lab of chemist James Tour at Rice University determined years ago that nanoribbons in composites would interconnect and conduct electricity across the material with much lower loadings than traditionally needed.

Previous experiments showed how the nanoribbons in films could be used to de-ice radar domes and even glass, since the films can be transparent to the eye.

customers’ requirements,” he began by telling us.

“Not only that, to enrich our offering we’re also got long-standing partnerships with some of the industry-leading designers and shipyards which all helps to meet our customers’ highest expectations.”

So what are some of the benefits of owning a private helicopter over, say, a private jet?

ABM: “Actually these are complementary,” he explained. “A helicopter offers you the opportunity to travel from door to door. It’s also offering you a continuance of your privacy and its key benefit is also access. It allows you to see the wonders of the natural world, or even relive the experiences of the explorers of old.

“The panoramic views, especially at low altitude flying, really add to the thrill of the experience and when our customers enjoy this they like to sit close to the pilot or even fly the aircraft themselves. But this also extends the lifestyle experience, allowing door to door access, so that would mean from your yacht you can access your remote villa or even that isolated resort that you can’t access by any other means.”

“Applying this composite to wings could save time and money at airports where the glycol-based chemicals now used to de-ice aircraft are also an environmental concern,” says Tour.

This Non-toxic Material is a Spray-on Water Repellent In lab tests, nanoribbons were no more than 5 percent of the composite. The researchers spread a thin coat of the composite on a segment of rotor blade supplied by a helicopter manufacturer; they then replaced the thermally conductive nickel abrasion sleeve used as a leading edge on rotor blades.

They were able to heat the composite to more than 200 degrees Fahrenheit. The team reported the findings in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.

For wings or blades in motion, the thin layer of water that forms first between the heated composite and the surface should be enough to loosen ice and allow it to fall off without having to melt completely, Tour says.

The lab reported that the composite remained robust in temperatures up to nearly 600 degrees Fahrenheit.

As a bonus, Tour adds, the coating may also help protect aircraft from lightning strikes and provide an extra layer of electromagnetic shielding.

Scientists from Rice, the University of Akron, and the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, collaborated on the project. The Air Force Office of Scientific Research and Carson Helicopter supported the research.

FEATURED MANUFACTURER – VulcanAir

VulcanAir Aircraft are Made-to-Order Vulcanair Aircraft are made-to-order certified airplanes handcrafted in Naples, Italy. Our aircraft are all metal high wing twins. At first glance the new generations P68 Aircraft are immediately noticeable by the original eclectic mix of aluminum construction and solid feel.

In its surveillance missions the P68 Observer 2 and P68C and their turbocharged siblings can provide an extremely effective observation or aerial works tool.

oxygen generation in the cabin through an innovative compressor, delivered via comfortable cannulas placed on the headsets.

The Oxyfly allows the pilot and passengers to fly the aircraft at “pressurized” flight levels for an indefinite time without the need of recharging the oxygen because there are no bottles.

The A-VIATOR features a state-of-the art three screen G950 Garmin glass cockpit and two RR model 250, 328 SHP turbines for some serious performance. The aircraft is very well suited for utility and short field GA and private use and where the need of a simple fast (200kt) yet roomy aircraft (up to 10 passengers + 1 pilot) is welcome.

Modern fluid aerodynamic lines characterize the aircraft look.

Airborne Surveillance suite in the fuselage of the VulcanAir P68 Observer 2

Entering the aircraft’s cockpit the smell of the handcrafted leather and the vision of the new state of the art Garmin avionic suite mark a noticeable improvement relative to the P68 Series previous generations.

Vulcanair Aircraft re-introduced the P68 Series aircraft back in 1999 with production resuming in the early 2000s. Since then, the aircraft has gone through an extensive and continuous modernization.

The new avionics and over 130 modifications and improvements introduced only last year make the aircraft even more fit for function.

In terms of flight qualities the aircraft was a success since the beginning and still today there are no other light twins that can match its precision, stability, and benign flight qualities. Vulcanair’s approach on aircraft design is that for a given mix of aircraft size power and configuration there is little that can be improved on the P68 excellent and successful design.

Therefore Vulcanair’s focus is to concentrate on the aircraft systems and on adapting the aircraft to improve fit for the aircraft typical missions. In addition, Vulcanair listens to the customer’s mission needs and constantly evaluates when possible the use of Vulcanair Aircraft to fit the customer’s requested missions.

The P68 Series aircraft can satisfy a number of different users.

GA private or small commercial operators, will appreciate its roominess, the twin-engine configuration and low operating costs.

A-VIATOR features a state-of-the art three screen G950 Garmin glass cockpit.

EASA approves H145 gross weight up from 3650kg to 3700kg In December, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) awarded the certification of the increased maximum take-off weight (MTOW) for the H145.

With this enhancement, the helicopter can carry an extra 50kg, raising the MTOW to a total of 3.7 metric tons. It will be available for customers in early 2016.

As the improvement does not require any structural modifications or additional equipment, it will not cause extra costs for the operators.

Bristow’s details on new UK Newquay and Prestwick SAR bases A new era for the UK’s search and rescue (SAR) helicopter operations began January 1, 2016, when the Bristow’s Sikorsky S-92 SAR. Newquay and Prestwick SAR bases commenced operations, bringing military involvement to an end.

A release issued by HM Coastguard to mark the occasion stated: “All of us at HM Coastguard have enormous respect for the search and rescue helicopter service our military colleagues have provided for more than 60 years.

“We’re building on that legacy through a £1.9bn investment in the new civilianised service.

“The new MTOW converts in pure useful load, be it more payload or more fuel.” The H145 is the most advanced member of its family, incorporating Arriel 2E engines and the fullcomposite Fenestron® shrouded tail rotor, as well as the innovative digital avionics suite Helionix® with 4-axis autopilot. The global H145 customer fleet has already accumulated more than 11,000 flying hours since the first delivery in July 2014. Today, some 53 helicopters are already in operation in 14 nations.

helicopters will be just as reassuring a sight in our skies, as they carry on the brave lifesaving work, for which we are all so very grateful.”

Prestwick and Newquay took over operations from Royal Navy bases at HMS Gannet SAR Flight and RNAS Culdrose respectively. Chief pilot at Prestwick SAR, Craig Sweeney, said: “Go-live was a very proud moment for the entire team. A formation flight with the Royal Navy Sea King was conducted at 0900 on 1 January and the official handover was marked as our S-92 overtook the Sea King on the main runway at Prestwick.”

Prestwick has already responded to 18 operational taskings. Newquay SAR has been almost as busy, carrying out ten taskings since go-live.

“The SAR engineers have worked tirelessly to ensure we have two serviceable aircraft from the outset, and the efficient stores and admin set up have ensured we have been able to hit the ground running.”

POLICE AVIATION

The Lithuanian Ministry of Defence and the Lithuanian Armed Forces assigned Lithuanian Airbus helicopters their three new AS365N3+ SAR. AS365 N3+ helicopters to the 24/7 SAR mission service.

The Croatian Police took delivery on January 26 of the first of Finnmeccanica AW139 of the Croatian Police. two AW139 helicopters, with the second reportedly due in July 2016. Flown to Zagreb Airport, the aircraft had actually quietly entered national airspace the previous evening and overnighted at Pula ready for its higher profile landing at the capital’s airport.

The three AS365 N3+ SAR helicopters are fully equipped with the latest technologies such as forward looking infrared (FLIR), radar, search lights, hailer, hoist, and stretchers. The full glass cockpit and the Airbus Helicopters’ unique 4-axis autopilot with SAR modes significantly decrease the crew workload, allowing them to perform their highly demanding missions safely.

“By raising the MTOW we are improving the mission capability of the H145, which is highly beneficial for all operators, especially in emergency medical services (EMS), law enforcement and offshore missions, where both high payload and maximum range are directly relevant for efficient helicopter operations”, said Manfred Merk, Head of the H145 programme.

Lithuania puts AS365N3+ into SAR service

Only two years after ordering the helicopters, Lithuanian Armed Forces are now ready to ensure SAR 24/7 service with their AS365 N3+.

Following the first two deliveries in June and September 2015, Air Force pilots, rescue workers and technicians were able to undergo a full training program, including on a full flight simulator.

UK - Second Explorer for London’s Air Ambulance now test flying The second MD902 Explorer helicopter for London’s Air Ambulance has taken to the air on Friday 22nd January at Gloucestershire Airport on its first UK test flights with the appropriate registration G-LNDN.

First AW139 arrives for Croatian Police

The two aircraft will have their primary role as border protection. Croatia has the EU’s second longest land border with non-EU countries, a total of 745 miles, making it only marginally shorter than the 816 mile border between Finland and Russia. This role has enabled Croatia to benefit from an extensive assistance package from the EU to help fund the aircraft.

The AW139 is fitted with a Trakkabeam A800 searchlight to port, an EO/IR turret under the nose and a winch to starboard – the border role extends to its marine borders and thus an SAR role. Both will have the new higher 7,000kg gross weight.

The helicopter arrived by road on 9th October in the lime green colour scheme of its previous owners – the Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar - and carrying it’s previous registration A7-NHA. The helicopter has been worked on by Specialist Aviation Service in the intervening three months, bringing it to UK standards and we expect some interior changes to ensure it matches the first helicopter G-EHMS to simplify medical teams working with either aircraft.

Putting the second aircraft into the mix will reduce down-time during operational hours, in particular covering the annual maintenance period on each aircraft.

SPECIAL MISSION NEWS 2

Black Hawk picks up and delivers Unmanned ground vehicle Carnegie Mellon University and Sikorsky Aircraft researchers have used an autonomous helicopter and an autonomous ground vehicle to demonstrate for the U.S. Army that ground and air robots can perform complex, cooperative missions.

A Black Hawk helicopter equipped for autonomous operation by Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Co., delivered a Land Tamer autonomous unmanned ground vehicle from CMU’s National Robotics Engineering Centre to a remote site, where the vehicle performed environmental monitoring for potential contamination.

The service has logged arouns 25 years experience with each of these Super Pumas, which were delivered between 1988 and 1991.

One of these three has recently been returned to the factory in southern France for an upgrade to the AS332L1e standard, with the other two to follow in due course.

I More information visit – www.airbushelicopters.com

Sikorsky’s Development Flight Centre in West Palm Beach, Fla. USA, NREC led the 19-month project, which was called Extending the Reach of the Warfighter Through Robotics.

In the demonstration, a Black Hawk helicopter equipped with Sikorsky’s Matrix autonomy kit flew NREC’s Land Tamer all-terrain vehicle, slung beneath the aircraft in a specially designed cage, to a remote area.

Once the helicopter lowered the vehicle to the ground, the Land Tamer drove itself off its transport platform to commence its leg of the mission. The vehicle, equipped with sensors for detecting chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear contamination, then found and surveyed several potentially contaminated sites, autonomously traversing six miles in the process.

When the vehicle sensors detected potential contamination, operators were able to switch the vehicle from autonomous operation into a tele-operated mode for a more detailed exploration of the site.

Such a robotic mission could prevent warfighters’ exposure to hazardous conditions, such as chemically or radiologically contaminated areas.

“This project was a great partnership between Carnegie Mellon and Sikorsky Aircraft,” Searock said. “It was rewarding for our engineers to work with Sikorsky’s team to create a new capability that will benefit our military forces.”

The Oct. 27 demonstration for the Army’s Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Centre (TARDEC) took place at

UK - Hampshire and IOW Air Ambulance start H135 night training Last year Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HIOWAA) announced its commitment to full night flying capability, a major step for the charity as a leader in helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS).

Towards the end of January HIOWAA announced that their enhanced model H135T3, specially equipped for night flying, has now arrived at the charity’s air base in Thruxton, near Andover.

AeroVironment Inc. The system will be tested in operations by the Swedish Police during 2016.

The UAVs will be equipped with digital cameras for collection of information about specific geographical areas, as well as sensors and technology for image transfer. AeroVironment has delivered similar systems to police forces in the US and is a supplier of small UAV systems to the US military and to more than 30 countries, including the Swedish Armed Forces.

“This move to provide unmanned systems to support government services gives us a good foundation to evolve this technology further.

The contract also strengthens our support and maintenance services for civil security applications,” says Jonas Hjelm, head of Saab’s business area Support and Services.

The arrival of the aircraft is part of a three step process which will lead to the commencement of night flying in early 2016.

Throughout January the crew took part in night clinical training exercises with neighbouring Thames Valley Air Ambulance (TVAA). HIOWAA and TVAA, who together cover the whole of the SCAS region, as well as The Isle of Wight, have a unique partnership, working together as part of their commitment to saving lives.

HIOWAA receives no government, statutory or National Lottery funding for operational purposes, relying entirely on the generosity of the people and businesses of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to keep the Air Ambulance flying and saving lives.

Finland - 2015 figures –

5% less responses, 6% more patients treated Air Ambulance statistics from Finland in 2015 show a notable increase with 6% more patients treated over 2014, even though the number of calls responded to was down 5% to 13,748.

Deeper analysis shows 1,494 patients received critical assistance, of which 172 would probably have died before reaching the hospital without an air ambulance response.

UK - Wiltshire

Air Ambulance completes Bell 429 first year Britain’s Wiltshire Air Ambulance (WAA) has marked the completion of its first year operating as a stand-alone service, which has seen a 10.4% increase in missions. The WAA helicopter was called out to 537 incidents between 9th January 2015 and 8th January 2016, up from a total of 486 in calendar year 2014.

Prior to January 2015, the WAA shared an MD Explorer with the Wiltshire Police, who are now receiving law enforcement cover from other bases through the National Police Air Service.

WAA continue to operate from the Police hangar in Devizes, but are well on the way with plans for their own dedicated base at Semington.

See our new website - www.up-lifting.co.uk

The rise is down to our new helicopter, a Eurocopter 135, which arrived at our base in Filton in October 2014.

In 2015 HM65 and her crew attended 1,655 lifesaving incidents across Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset and parts of Wiltshire. This is an increase of 270 incidents compared to 2014, when we were using our old Bolkow helicopter.

Our new helicopter is able land on any hospital helipad. The Bolkow was unable to land on the elevated helipads at the Bristol Royal Infirmary and Gloucester Royal Hospital. Another advantage of the EC135 is the additional interior space, which includes an extra seat. This means that we can transport a relative with the patient, or train new doctors and paramedics.

It costs £2.3 million for us to stay operational each year, but we receive no day to day funding from the Government or National Lottery. This means we rely entirely on the generosity of the people we serve to continue to save lives.

Midlands Air Ambulance Eurocopter EC135.

2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the vitally important emergency pre-hospital service provided

by Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. Throughout 2016, supported by corporate partner, M6Toll, the charity will be running a series of events and activities to celebrate 25 years of air ambulance operations across the Midlands and the impact the charity has made on so many lives.

As one of the first air ambulance services in the country, named ‘Air5’ with just one helicopter flying out of a temporary airbase five days a week, Midlands Air Ambulance is proud of its heritage.

The charity now has three helicopters serving a population of six million people, and to date the service has responded to over 43,000 missions.

Throughout the ‘Air25’ anniversary celebrations, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity will be hosting a number of commemorative events, including a prestigious garden party at Hagley Hall, where ‘Air5’ was first launched in May 1991. The charity now requires an additional £500,000 per annum to operate, meaning in excess of £7 million has to be raised each year.

Tracey Tracey Curtis-Taylor departed Farnborough Photo: Jerry Lake Photography. airport on October 1, 2015, on her solo flight in a 1942 Boeing Stearman named the Spirit of Artemis. The flight covered 13,000 miles, including 50 legs, crossing 23 countries.

“Tracey is a keynote speaker at the 2016 International Women in Aviation Conference March 10-12 in Nashville at the Friday morning general session, expected to be attended by nearly 4,500 participants. I know her presentation will be filled with all the excitement and adventure this flight entailed,” says WAI President Dr. Peggy Chabrian. In conjunction with Tracey’s successful flight, Amy Johnson will be posthumously inducted into WAI’s International Pioneer Hall of Fame.

Amy is perhaps Great Britain’s most well-known aviatrix and the setter of several flight records, including the London to Australia flight that Tracey replicated. She was the first woman to hold a ground engineer license in the UK; she made several record-setting long-distance flights, including a trans-Atlantic flight to the United States in 1933. Tracey joins a lineup of fascinating speakers at the International Women in Aviation Conference including FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.

Cubcrafters Introduces Emergency Aircraft Parachutes

The BRS parachute systems are offered on CubCrafters’ production Carbon Cub SS aircraft, as well as the company’s Carbon Cub FX Builder Assist model and their EX-2 kit. Systems are also available for retrofit on CubCrafters’ existing fleet of LSA and experimental aircraft. Three new BRS models are immediately available for these CubCrafters airplanes:

MARCH 2016

Light aircraft manufacturer CubCrafters is announcing new emergency parachute systems for the company’s line CubCrafters Carbon Cub aircraft. of backcountry tailwheel airplanes. The systems, developed in conjunction with BRS Aerospace, will further advance safety in CubCrafters’ already exceptional aircraft designs by allowing pilots a safe alternative in otherwise difficult emergencies.

"The Carbon Cub is already recognized as the safest backcountry aircraft available,” comments Randy Lervold, President of CubCrafters.

“Its extraordinarily slow stall speed, fundamentally sound wing shape and vortex generators assure low-speed stability and maneuverability. The Carbon Cub’s super-strong protective cage around its occupants is best in class. Now, the addition of the BRS systems not only provides a proven lifesaving technology, but also additional piece of mind for Carbon Cub pilots and passengers.”

The new BRS systems require annual inspection, a parachute repack every 6 years, and a rocket refresh every 12 years.

These services, as well as installation of retrofit systems on fleet aircraft, can be performed now at CubCrafters’ Yakima, Washington facility and at select CubCrafters Europe Authorized Service Centres in the near future.

BRS parachute systems are offered on CubCrafters’ production Carbon Cub SS, FX Builder Assist and EX-2 kit models.

The new BRS system is the latest illustration of CubCrafters’ ongoing dedication to producing the safest aircraft possible. "As a light aircraft manufacturer, we feel it is incumbent on CubCrafters to offer proven mechanisms that contribute to product safety,” says Lervold. The first CubCrafters BRS system has already been installed and delivered on a new Carbon Cub SS. I More information visit – www.cubcrafters.com and www.cubcrafterseurope.com Continued on Page 30

Flight Design Plans C4 Full-Scale Safety Box Testing - Innovative Concept for Occupant Safety Collaborates with Universities

Flight Design C4 model.

At the 2016 edition of the Sebring U.S. Sport Aviation Expo, Flight Design announced development work progress on the advanced occupant protection research and testing referred as the “Safety Box.” The effort seeks to ensure higher occupant safety by creating a safety cell around the aircraft cockpit. Flight Design’s new four seat C4 was chosen as the launch testbed.

Germany’s Ministry of Economic Affairs provided funding for the research project that aims at development of a modular cabin safety system for light aircraft. The new system provides a safety cage around the occupants of an aircraft that builds upon several concepts, such as intelligently designed and located crash absorbing components, a stiff cabin structure with dedicated load paths for the majority of high load cases, advanced seat installation, and restraint systems.

“We consider the occupant protective concept for improved crashworthiness one of the most important features of the C4 said Matthias Betsch, CEO of Flight Design. “We are pleased our four seat project was selected. Experience and data acquired will be shared with other organizations.”

absorbing cabin similar to what is done with passenger automobiles and race cars is where we need to be moving,” he said. “Next we will move toward full scale crash testing.”

Using a C4 airframe, a full scale crash test is scheduled for March 2016 with the German University, Ostfalia Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften, Fakultät Fahrzeugtechnik, Lehr- und Forschungsgebiet Fahrzeugsicherheit, led by Prof.

Harald Bachem, of Wolfsburg, Germany. The university maintains a test site on a former military base where they commonly do full scale impact simulations with automobiles.

The full scale crash test will be done with the C4 load test airframe swung into the ground to simulate a heavy, but survivable impact. The test article C4 will be suspended from two mobile cranes with a third one to hold the aircraft into pre-test position.

The aircraft will be equipped with four anthropomorphic test dummies, load sensors and will be monitored by numerous high speed cameras. This test setup is very close to what NASA does in the USA at the NASA Langley facility in Hampton Rhodes, Virginia.

“We were very pleased that Flight Design C4 crash test version.

Ostfalia Hochschule offered their facility and staff for this important test of the Safety Box concept using the C4 as a test article,” commented Oliver Reinhardt, Head of Airworthiness for Flight Design’s Design Organization. “The university has great experience doing full scale vehicle testing but the test of a light airplane is a first for them and a great project for their students and staff.”

“The University sees good possibilities to offer this service to other parties in the future, said Reinhardt.

“Considering this type of testing is envisioned as an alternate means of compliance in the new Part 23 [rewrite] proposals, this is very attractive.”

In preparation for the crash test, Flight Design is currently producing seat shells that were completed

by Autoflug in January. In parallel Flight Design is completing preparations of the test sample airframe.

Helicopter Museum puts in £2 Million Lottery funds bid

Gatwick Museum goes under cover

The Helicopter Museum at Weston-super-Mare in Somerset has entered a £3 million bid with the UK Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), to build new facilities for the collection and its visitors. The museum, which holds the world’s largest line-up of rotary-wing aircraft has set itself a £1 million fund raising target to match-fund a £2 million request to the HLF.

More than 28 years after becoming the founding aircraft of the Gatwick Aviation Museum collection, Sea Hawk FB6 was the first aircraft to be towed into the museum’s new 20,000-square foot building at Charlwood, Surrey, on November 28.

The museum was officially opened to the public by HRH Prince Andrew in 1989, with temporary buildings providing initial display space and visitor facilities.

Since then the museum has built hangarage to house a growing collection of aircraft, together with workshops for restoration, archives and education space. However the original temporary buildings, which include a former mobile home used for offices and a Pratten building which houses introductory displays, admission, retail and catering, are now well past repair and need replacing.

The museum wants to replace the structures with a new frontage building, which can offer additional space for artefacts and meet the demands of a growing number of visitors, as well as providing new educational facilities for colleges and schools teaching science and technology subjects.

The trustees are also keen to construct a new “sponsor” hangar on the site, to house aircraft currently stored outdoors in the local saline environment and to extend the restoration work. This will include the rebuild of a rare Piasecki H-21 “Flying Banana” recently discovered in mainland Europe, and restoration of an early Whirlwind helicopter, which found fame in a Beatles movie in the 1960s. This hangar is costed at £300,000 and the museum is open to naming it after a major donor, if one comes forward.

Earlier in 2015 the museum was successful in a bid to the Coastal Communities Fund for funding towards the restoration of the original 1935 airfield control tower and 1940 Pilots Block, which are now being converted to tell the wider history of aviation in the town, which included aircraft manufacturing during the war years and subsequent until 2002, and Royal Air Force training and trials work over a similar period.

SR-71 for Virginia Spy plane disassembly has begun at Virginia Aviation Museum ahead of move to Science Museum. As the wing of the old spy plane slipped away from the body, Marty Batura couldn’t resist running his fingers along the internal parts that gave this bird its tremendous power.

Batura is leading a four-man crew charged with taking apart the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane that has sat for the past 15 years on the front lawn of the Virginia Aviation Museum and reassembling it inside the Science Museum of Virginia.

He has pulled apart or put together this kind of plane 14 times before, but something about the world’s fastest and highest-flying airplane still captivates him.

“You touch it and realize that travelled faster than a .30-06 bullet,” said Batura, owner of the Nebraska-based Worldwide Aircraft Recovery. “This is one of my favorite aircraft because of the history involved.”

The SR-71 was an early stealth plane used for spy missions in the 1960s. With a top speed of 2,193 mph or more than 3,200 feet per second - it could simply outrun any missile aimed in its direction. Flying at altitudes of more than 85,000 feet, pilots could sometimes see the curve of the Earth from the cockpit. Of the 32 Blackbirds ever built, a dozen were lost in accidents.

Avro Museum Opens The Avro Heritage Museum opened its doors to the public at Woodford, Cheshire, UK, on 13 November.

The museum is housed in the old airfield fire station, which has been completely refurbished since being donated by BAE Systems.

Among the display is a Vulcan B2 nose, which has full cockpit visitor access, a ‘hands-on’ Nimrod MRA4 work-station – representing the last aircraft of its type built at Woodford in 2010. Outside is long-time Woodford resident – Avro Vulcan B2, which is due for a full exterior refurbish and re-paint this summer. Another possible arrival is Avro Shackleton MR3/3 which is currently at Bruntingthorpe and has been offered on loan by owner Gary Spoors. The museum is open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10.00-16.00hrs, with last admissions at 15.30.

The Sea Hawk was followed inside by Meteor T7 and former Swiss Air Force Venom FB50. On December 1 an Olympus 320 engine from a TSR2 was the first of nine engines to come out of storage for display. Further aircraft have followed during January including, Sea Vixen, Harrier, Lightning and Buccaneer. The museum should be opening to the public during March.

REFURBISH

Two-seat Buchon to UK Four Hispano HA-1112 Bouchons from the famous ‘Connie’ Edwards collection at Big Spring, Texas, will soon arrive in the UK, including the rare two-seat HA-1112-M4L. This fabled machine was used as a camera ship during the making of the ‘Battle of Britain’ film at Duxford during 1968. The four aircraft are part of the cache of eight HA-1112 Buchons – the Spanish-built Rolls-Royce Merlin-powered Messerschmitt Bf 109 derivative. The three single-seaters are thought to include one of the aircraft that flew in the film and two spare ships that were used by Spitfire Productions at Duxford during 1968, and still retain their Spanish Air Force colours.

Raisbeck’s 2016 King Air Pricing Package - Raisbeck Holds Most 2015 Pricing for 2016‚ Introduces EPIC Package, Completion Special Pricing & Expands Combo Options

Improvement Systems have been increasingly appreciated over the past 35 years, and today enjoy a reputation for reliability and value second to none. With our new pricing incentives, more operators will make 2016 the year they choose Raisbeck Systems to enhance their operations.”

AVIONICS

Garmin G950 Flight Deck Adds Utility and Expands Operational Life of Sherpa Aircraft

Cadow cited three important elements: - First‚ 2015 prices for individual systems have generally been extended through 2016.

Super King Air.

In early January, Raisbeck Engineering released their 2016 pricing for its product offerings for the entire line of King Air models. New and more deeply discounted Combination Packages are also being offered.

Bill Cadow‚ VP‚ Sales, made the announcement.

“We have worked closely with our suppliers and are joining them to pass these savings on to our dealers and end-users. With today’s world economic situation what it is, airplane operators are more sensitive to how they spend their money. Our goal is to fit within these sensitivities and give our customers truly more of what they bought their King Air for.”

CEO James Raisbeck added‚ “Thanks to our customer base, Raisbeck Performance

- Second‚ Combination and EPIC Completion packages have been expanded and priced with greater discounts. They now include Raisbeck/Hartzell Swept Blade Propellers.

A full EPIC Performance Package for the C90 series, including Swept-Blade Propellers, Dual Aft Body Strakes, and full FAA-approved AFMs is $107,809‚ a $13‚750 savings. Similarly, the Crown Wing Lockers and Dual Aft Body Strakes for the King Air 250/200 family are offered in combination. Individually‚ the price would be $85,408; together they are $76‚408‚ a $9‚000 savings.

- Third‚ operators who replace their original Raisbeck Turbofan Props with Raisbeck/Hartzell Swept Blade Propellers are treated to EPIC Completion discounts.

Garmin G950 Flight Deck.

Garmin have announced the selection of the G950 Integrated Flight Deck for the fleet of Sherpa aircraft operated by the USA forest Service. The G950 provides the USFS with an advanced avionics suite to increase mission effectiveness, while also providing an added cost-savings that solves avionics obsolescence, exceeds regulatory requirements and expands the operational life of these versatile aircraft.

This pricing philosophy includes Raisbeck’s newest offering‚ the King Air 350 4-bladed Aluminum Propeller with Swept Blade Technology, priced at $98‚500 with no trade-in required. Deliveries of these propellers begin this month.

Air Service Vamdrup Norway’s Garmin Dealership

Tonny working on a Garmin installation.

Air Service Vamdrup have been approved as an official Garmin dealer! Garmin is one of the largest and most popular brands in aviation when it comes to avionics and navigation. “ We have been working to get this dealership for several years – and it’s not something you just have handed over without deserving it.

Garmin is one of thelargest brands in the market with regard to navigation equipment for aircraft and helicopters, so naturally, it’s important for us to be able to offer this particular service to our customers,” Torben Biehl Jensen, Business Development Director, explained.

The Tango dual-port wall charger can quickly charge both the headset and panel interface batteries at the same time, providing 75% charge in less than an hour and a full charge in two hours.

The batteries can also be charged while the headset is in use or easily replaced on the go.

The battery for the headset and panel interface are interchangeable, and spare batteries can be purchased separately.

I More information visit – www.gps.co.uk/lightspeed and www.lightspeedaviation.com

Faster and Better Service Apart for installing Garmin products, the new dealership allows Air Service to perform e.g., warranty repairs in both Denmark and Norway, and to access general sparring and factory repairs with Garmin.

To their customers, the approval mainly means that workflow will be faster and service related to Garmin products better. When units need repair, warranty cases caretaking etc., we are able to deal with the whole process ourselves instead of having to go through others as happened before. This eases and shortens the workflow, and since you all want as little downtime for your aircraft or helicopter as possible, this is a significant improvement.

The Garmin dealer status also means that we may sell Garmin products directly to the end user. Many aircraft and helicopter owners in both Denmark and Norway will benefit from our new dealership. So naturally, we’re looking forward to be able to benefit from it’s huge potential.

“In cooperation with Field Aerospace in Oklahoma City, Garmin is excited to have been selected as the Sherpa upgrade avionics provider with the G950 and to further expand our relationship with Field Aerospace,” said Carl Wolf, vice president of aviation marketing and sales. “This modernization programme brings next generation avionics capability, expanded utility and NextGen compliance to the Sherpa fleet.

EUROPEAN BIZAV REVIEW

BizAv Activity – Europe - A Medley of Industry Trends, Analyses, Reports and Data

There were 51,563 Business Aviation departures in Europe in December 2015, the low point in the year but a 1.7% increase in YOY activity. This took the final 2015 trend to -0.6%, equivalent to 4,866 fewer flights than in 2014.

The boost for December’s activity came from Piston activity, which increased 28% YOY, and ended the year up by 5%. Business jet activity, accounting for 60% of all Business Aviation flights in Europe, declined by 4% for December, with full year jet activity down by -2.5%.
