Many of the clubs also relocated to Biggin but he needed more customers, so in 1963 he staged the Biggin Hill Air Travel Fair in the hope of promoting the fledgling package tour industry, according to Flight International 165,000 people attended, designed as a one off marketing day.

It was obvious to Jock it had a future.

Jock joined the RAF in 1942, where he flew aircraft types that many of us simply dream about (the Anson, Harvard and Spitfire, to name but a few). At the end of the war he left the RAF but was quickly recalled this time to fly the Meteor and Vampire. Combat missions came when he was posted on exchange to the USAAF flying the F86 Sabre and was posted to Korea, where he was responsible for shooting down a pair of MIG 15 s for which he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. On his return he flew Venoms as a Squadron Leader during the Suez Crisis.

For the second time he left the RAF and set up Maitland Air Charters and Maitland Drewery Air at Croydon airport, but he soon realised that Croydon had no future with the encroachment of housing so with the RAF moving out of Biggin Hill made the move to the airport we now know.

He took over the lease of the airport from Surrey & Kent Flying Club, who were initially running it under the name Surrey Aviation.

Artwork for the 2009 Biggin Hill Air Fair DVD, it was to be sadly, the penultimate show.

Out of the Air Travel Fair came the International Air Fair, Jock built around him a small dedicated team that developed the Air Fair into one of the best in the UK, as you can imagine over a period of 48 years many people where involved as either an employee or volunteer, far too many to mention by name, Jock had time for them all and valued their contribution.

For his achievements in civilian aviation Jock Maitland was awarded the Jeffrey Quill Memorial Medal and the MBE.

It is with great regret that we have to announce the passing of Sqn Ldr Jock Maitland DFC MBE. Aged 87, Jock passed away peacefully on the 16th March.

He played a huge part in the History of the most famous of all of the RAF Fighter stations, not only leaving his mark publicly with the Biggin Hill International Air Fair from 1963 until 2010, but also privately with the many people that came into contact with him at Biggin Hill over the past 55 years.

Growing up in Scotland, and attending school near RAF Turnhouse (now Edinburgh International Airport), gave Jock Maitland a life-long love for aeroplanes. From the sidelines he would watch the young men take-off and land in their elegant Hawker Hart and Fury biplanes and realised then that he had to fly.

OBITUARY

(2) 208B 2006 CARAVANS Super Cargo Master

MAY 2012

Jock was held in high regard and I am sure he will be remembered with fond affection, many of us owe a great deal to Jock for his inspiration, guidance, trust and most of all friendship.

When you next drive on to the airport look left and you will see the sign erected by the airport in Jock s honour "Maitland View" it would be worth taking a moment to think would this road be leading to a housing or industrial estate had it not been for Jock Maitland!!

Details of the funeral will be promulgated in line with the wishes of the family once they are known.

On a very personal note, Jock gave me my very first job in Aviation - working weekends and holidays in the Tower as an assistant and subsequently as a controller...

I owe Jock an incredible amount and will miss him, but never forget him …..

LAA also looks after a high proportion of the UK’s Vintage and Classic aircraft fleet, and these aircraft can offer some of the most pleasurable and cost effective flying available.

Sywell Aviation Museum (SAM) has recently completed an expansion and will be unveiling two brand new display halls charting the history of the United States Army Air Force in Northamptonshire during WW2 and the impact of the German Luftwaffe across the County.

Alex Ayling (Show Director) commented, “WAI - Women in Aviation International - who have exhibited at AeroExpo UK for several years, appreciate the value of the event and will have a much larger presence and involvement in 2012.

For those not aware of the WAI, they are a powerful group of 8,000 members globally who have their own publication and annual conference.”

The Light Aircraft Association (LAA) is well known as the organisation that looks after amateur built aircraft, everything from a simple single seat machine to a state-of-the-art, 200mph four seat Van’s RV10. What many people may not realise however, is that the

The Robinson R66 incorporates many of the design features of its popular predecessor the R44, including a two-bladed rotor system, T-bar cyclic and open interior cabin configuration.

But with a newly developed turbine engine, delivering increased performance and the additional seat and baggage space, the R66 is bound to be of great interest to buyers wanting that bit more from a private or business helicopter.

Bitburg - Then

Bitburg - Now

Bitburg Air Base was a NATO base during the Cold War, and the home of the US Air Force 36th Fighter Wing between 1952–1994. It is located 2 miles (3 kms) south-east of Bitburg, 20 miles (32 kms) north of Trier, and 135 miles (217 kms) west of Wiesbaden. Construction of the airbase began in western Germany’s Eifel mountains in Rheinland Pfalz in 1951.

The 36th Fighter Wing was the first European wing of the US Air Force to receive the latest aircraft, the F4 Phantom and F15 Eagle being famous examples Under contract with the United States Air Force, the French Army began construction of what would become Bitburg Air Base in Western Germany's Eifel Mountains in RhinelandPalatinate in early 1951. Located in the French zone of occupation, the air base was situated on farm land that had been a Wehrmacht tank staging and supply area for the Battle of the Bulge in early 1944.

The air base and its housing area occupied nearly 1,100 acres (445 ha), with a 8,200-foot (2,500 m) long runway (with 1,000-foot (300 m) overruns at each end, total length would be 10,200 ft).

Bitburg Airbase was where Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the moon, served as a Flight commander in the 22nd TFS; US President Ronald Reagan also has some connection to the base during the 1950s.

36th Fighter Wing

Bitburg AB PartyTime NCO Club Detachment 1, 31st Weather Squadron

In July 1952 the 53rd Fighter-Bomber Squadron (FBS) from the 36th Fighter-Bomber Wing (FBW), from Fürstenfeldbruck Air Base a few miles west of Munich arrived at the newly built base. Throughout the summer, elements of the 36th FBW moved into Bitburg, with the wing officially arriving in November 1952.

Under various designations, the 36th would remain at Bitburg for the next 40 years.

Bitburg’s North American F-86F "Sabre" replaced the Thunderjets.

In August 1953, the North American F-86F "Sabre" was introduced to the wing, replacing the F-84s. In August 1954, the wing was redesignated as the 36th Fighter-Day Wing.

22nd Fighter squadron Pilots infrontv of an F-86F

After transitioning to the Sabre the 36th TFW added two new squadrons, the 32nd Fighter Day Squadron from Soesterberg Air Base in the Netherlands, and the 461st Fighter Day Squadron from Hahn Air Base. At first the 36th's F-86 markings consisted of Korean Theater-styled yellow and blackbordered bands, but squadron-specific colored bands were eventually applied to all the 36th FDW Sabres.

The 1st Pilotless Bomber Squadron, equipped with the B-61A Matador, was assigned to the 36th Fighter Bomber Wing, Bitburg Air Base, Germany, on 31 March 1954, making it the first operational U.S. missile unit.

The 36th Fighter Bomber Wing was renamed 36th Fighter Day Wing (no change of station) a year later on 14 March 1955, and the 1st Pilotless Bomber Squadron was renamed to the 1st Tactical Missile Squadron at that time.

The B-61A Matador was renumbered to the TM-61A Matador.

The 1st Tactical Missile Squadron was detached from the 36th FDW, no change of station, and assigned to the newly formed 7382nd Pilotless Bomber Group headquartered at Hahn Air Base, on February 1, 1956.

The 1st PBS remained at Bitburg Air Base.

The 7382nd Tactical Missile Group was inactivated on 15 September 1956, and the 1st Tactical Missile Squadron was reassigned to the newly formed 585th Tactical Missile Group, Bitburg Air Base, as part of the newly formed 701st Tactical Missile Wing, headquartered at Hahn AB. The 1st PBS became the 1st Tactical Missile Squadron, and was later redesignated as the 71st TMS. The unit converted from the TM61A to the TM-61C Matadors during that time.

By readers of Professional Pilot magazine* 2011 Headset Preference Survey

When Bose first introduced active noise-reducing headsets more than 20 years ago, we forever changed the way pilots fly. Today, the A20 Aviation Headset sets the standard for in-flight ®

communication. Engineered for increased noise reduction in even louder environments, it’s also more comfortable than any headset we’ve ever made, all without compromising the acclaimed clear audio you expect from Bose. Featuring Bluetooth communication, an auxiliary audio input, ®

priority switching and more, the Bose A20 Aviation Headset meets or exceeds all TSO requirements. ®

®

Fly with it once, then try flying without it.

LIGHT AIRCRAFT NEWS FEATURED AIRCRAFT

LISA Airplanes Successful AKOYA Test Runs - Freezes Material choices for aircraft

AKOYA flight tests campaign: Lift-off at low speed (25km/h, 13 knots)

In preparation for the S-LSA American certification, LISA Airplanes carries on its series of test runs on both Chambery-Savoy Airport and Bourget Lake. Meanwhile, the French company is completing its industrial process and unveils its technological choices regarding materials.

LISA Airplanes, the French manufacturer of the revolutionary amphibious skiplane AKOYA follows up its flight tests from both the airport runway and the Bourget Lake. Lately, intensive taxiing tests on the lake proved the stability of the Seafoils and maneuverability of the AKOYA at low speed.

stall tests with several weight and balance configurations and different flap positions in which the aircraft showed a safe behavior. The AKOYA does not have a “nose-down” tendency, which means that at 45 knots, the airplane tends to go down but the nose of the aircraft always stays above the skyline.

The airplane keeps its lateral and longitudinal stability; the pilot just needs to push the stick to restore the speed and reverse the stall. This behavior results from 4 years of experimentation in wind tunnel and in flight that enhanced our design choices related to pilot safety.

Carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) resin pre-impregnated (pre-preg) supplied by Umeco.

Meanwhile, LISA’s engineers are completing the AKOYA’s production preparation. All structural components and materials choices are now frozen.

The fuselage, wings and many small parts are made of composite materials: fiberglass, Kevlar, and mostly light-weight sandwich structures made of polymer foam core material and carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) resin pre-impregnated (pre-preg) supplied by Umeco.

This composite is well known for its great durability and its unequalled strength/weight ratio.

The mechanical parts are made of aluminum and titanium, which excellent properties are well attested.

“The AKOYA flows easily upon contact with water at a speed up to 90km/h (49 knots), widening even more AKOYA’s capabilities. We’re thrilled with the Seafoils performance and with the maneuverability and stability they provide. We’ve broken the seaplane rules but the result of our work is now acknowledged by the most renowned aviation experts,” explains Jean-François CLAVREUL, Research and Development Manager. Flying every week, the first production AKOYA allows the validation of most of the announced performance.

Recently, the test pilot Gérald Ducoin completed

ENGINE ROTAX engine – Latest Information - Everything You Need to Know About the New Rotax 912 iS from Leading American Rotax Expert, Phil Lockwood

Phil Lockwood with the latest Rotax 912 iS engine.

To a warm worldwide reception Rotax announced on March 8th their new fuel- injected engine.

Attendees of Sun ‘n Fun 2012 have a golden opportunity to hear Phil Lockwood, one of the most knowledgeable - and best known - speakers about all things Rotax, as he explains the new engine at Sun ‘n Fun. “I’ll have all the latest info about the new Rotax 912 iS, still with 2,000 hour TBO,” said Phil. Lockwood joined many others in Austria just two week ago as the company launched it newest engine. Rotax is one of the largest aircraft engine manufacturers in the world and is the dominant powerplant supplier for Light-Sport Aircraft with more than 75% of the LSA market.

Phil continued with more news, “After my presentation I’ll take questions and provide answers in an open session.”

LSA PERFORMANCES Successful Flight over Everest The Slovene pilot Matevž Lenarcic, who is flying around the world in his modified Virus SW 914 Turbo with an Intercooler unit, made a successful flight over the world’s tallest mountain, Mount Everest.

38 LIGHT AIRCRAFT EUROPE MAY 2012 WWW.AVBUYER.COM

On the 29 March at 1:15 Central European time, Matevž flew by the Nepal side of the Mt. Everest summit at the height of 29,344 feet (8,944 meters).

This means he flew even higher than the top of the mountain, which is 8848 m. “The weather was very beautiful, the temperature was relatively high, "only" 27°C, north westerly wind of 40 kts and from time to time some turbulence. The Pipistrel Virus performed perfectly,” Matevž wrote on his website http://www.worldgreenflight.com/

Besides, all parts are treated against corrosion.

This global weight optimization – aeronautics main obsession and even more at LISA Airplanes – allowed to design a 410kg (903lbs)-empty weight aircraft while featuring an impressive standard equipment and instrumentation package : -

Emergency airframe parachute, Folding wings, Electrically operated canopy, Retractable landing gear equipped with skis, Pearl painting, Whole cockpit lined with high-end materials such as leather etc.

 More information visit - www.lisa-airplanes.com/en

Visitors are sure to experience an informationpacked hour and leave far better informed.

Phil’s standing-room-only seminars are available in many airshows.

“So many improvements come with the Rotax 912 iS engine that pilots and mechanics alike will want to come and increase their awareness,” explained Lockwood, who is president of Lockwood Aviation Supply, the number one Rotax service center in North America. All Rotax owners or operators may benefit by attending.

Lockwood enterprises have also been deeply involved with testing new oils to work with longer-lived engines and different fuel sources. Offering a first-hand view of the testing and results from these new products, Phil walks his audience through the possibilities. In addition, with concerns about the long-term supply of 100LL avgas, Phil discusses ethanol additives and using premium auto fuel in Rotax engines. Using his signature presentation, a computer slide show with dozens of detailed photos, Phil delivers his talk on Rotax engine operation, care, and maintenance. Exit interviews from his talks have shown those who attend feel they get a great deal of expert information.  A&P mechanics that wish to gain further engine training can contact Aero Technical Institute (ATI) visit - www.aerotechnicalinstitute.com  Phil Lockwood can be contacted on -

This historic moment means the first-ever flight of a Slovene aircraft over the world’s tallest mountain.

“We have a proof that Matevž flew this high,” said Ivo Boscarol, the general manager of the Pipistrel company that manufactured the modified Virus aircraft. “It is data released from an automated tracking device which tells the location, altitude and direction of flight. After landing in Jaipur, Matevž told me by telephone that the aircraft performed really well and would be able to climb even higher if he wanted or needed. This proved that our forecast, that the modified aircraft would be capable of reaching 10,000m was correct.” To be able to accomplish this feat, Matevž needed a specially modified aircraft able to withstand the temperatures reaching -30°C. He had to brave similar temperatures once before when he landed his aircraft in the Antarctic.  More information visit – www.pipistrel.si

Please – no tyre kickers and time-wasters.

Following a seven year restoration, volunteers of the Dutch Early Birds Foundation on March 14 saw the first flight of their restored North American P-51D Mustang. The aircraft was successfully piloted at Lelystad Airport (EHLE)

by Belgian pilot Frederic Vormezeele .

please contact:

Fi156@gmx.de BEAGLE

The restoration project lasted more than seven years.

A dozen volunteers finished the tremendous job, so the aircraft in the livery of ‘Trusty Rusty’ became airworthy at last.

PIPER

Dating from the 1945, the P-51D Mustang flew until 1957 in the U.S. Air Force, and was sold to a private owner in the 1960’s. In 1993 it competed in the Reno Air races called ‘Miss Ashley’. Then the aircraft was dismantled, and transported in 1995 in crates to The Netherlands. It was stored at Schiphol and later at the home of Early Birds at Lelystad Airport.

The painstaking reconstruction of aircraft X4650 coincides with a public competition to design a permanent memorial to the aircraft's designers. It also shines a spotlight on the extraordinary story of young pilot Howard Squire who was flying the plane on a training mission led by RAF legend 'Al' Deere when the pair collided over North Yorkshire. The wreckage was only discovered in the long, hot summer of 1976 when low river levels exposed the metal embedded in a clay riverbank on farmland near Kirklevington, Cleveland. It had been there since December 28 1940, after Sgt Squire, then 20, bailed out after colliding with X4276 flown by Al Deere, Flight Commander of 54 Squadron at RAF Catterick.

STINSON

The Vickers Wellington saw service in the European Wellington IA bombers flying over theater, as a night the Surrey countryside. bomber and later in South Asia and Africa. Later, in 1944, Wellington bombers were equipped with radar to help direct British Mosquito's, to attack German He-111 bombers that their radar had detected during their raids. Today, this tactic, or technology, is still used.

For example: America's AWAC's - which stands for - airborne warning and control system.

The Wellington was powered by two Bristol Pegasus, nine cylinder, radial engines with a top speed of 235 mph. The Vickers Wellington had a service ceiling of 18,000 feet and a range of a little over 2,500 miles. The Wellington was armed with six to eight .303 Browning machine guns and could carry 4,500 lbs of bombs. The Wellington is easily identified by the mesh or lattice structuring on the windows on the side of the aircraft, the outward indication of Barnes Wallis’s geodetic concept.  More information visit - www.brooklandsmuseum.com

The project originated in June 1967, when the late Doug Bianchi of Personal Plane Services at Booker advertised in Exchange & Mart for old aircraft parts.

A reply from St Leonards, East Sussex, offered him a collection of Sopwith Dolphin components comprising many parts.

The restoration got seriously under way at the museum’s workshops at Cardington in 1997, horizontal tail surfaces, including elevators, were donated by the Shuttleworth Trust. The project was moved to Cosford in November 2001.  More information visit - www.rafmuseum.org.uk

‘Berlin Airlift’ C-47 to go on Gatow Display Following 32 years as a gate guardian at Berlin-Gatow barracks in Berlin, Germany, the C-47 will be fully restored to represent an aircraft that participated during the Berlin Airlift 1948-49.

The restored aircraft will be placed in front of the tower at the Luftwaffe Museum, also at Gatow, where in mid-May the aircraft will be rolled out in front of 600 British veterans including Sir Richard Corbett, the last commander of the British sector in Berlin. Several hundred historic military vehicles will also be on show.  More information visit – www.luftwaffemuseum.com

Wildcat Arrives at Old Warden The Shuttleworth Collection has announced the safe arrival of it's latest acquisition, a Grumman FM-2 Wildcat. The aircraft arrived at Old Warden Aerodrome on February 19th amidst great excitment from both staff and visitors alike. The aircraft is on display in the aero workshops of hangar 1. The aeroplane’s fuselage is standing on its own undercarriage and the main wings although not fitted yet are adjacent to the aeroplane for visitors to see. The aircraft currently bears US Marine Corps colours and will be repainted as a Fleet Air Arm Grumman Martlet.  More information visit – www.shuttleworth.org/news

MUSEUM New Hope for Dutch Aviodrome A large Dutch company, with existing interest in museums looks likely to step in to save the Aviodrome Museum and aviation collection in the Netherlands. It was hoped that this might be the outcome when the Aviodrome suffered financial problems at the start of 2012. As a safeguard for the collection being auctioned which was the greatest threat, Schipol Airport has confirmed that it would take over the collection to avoid this happening.

PRODUCTS & SERVICES NEWS 1 FUEL

LYCOMING’s Engines Await EASA Unleaded Fuel Approval - to Enable EASA SIB 2011-01R1 for Multiple Aircraft Platforms Lycoming Engines, has submitted for ASTM D7547 UL 91 unleaded avgas approval on numerous engine models across the 233, 235, 320 and 360 engine families. Engines in the 540 family will follow as Lycoming completes additional validation.

UL 91 has entered into distribution in Europe largely to serve engines approved to operate on automotive specification fuels.

European Aviation Safety Administration UL91 availability in France (EASA) Safety from February Information Bulletin 2011-01R1 provides aircraft level approval on the basis of engine approval.

Lycoming’s UL 91 approval will be announced via release of Lycoming Service Instruction 1070R. Together with the EASA Safety Information Bulletin, it will immediately enable the use of UL 91 on certain Lycoming-powered aircraft produced by manufacturers, such as Cessna, Diamond, Piper, American Champion, Aviat, Maule, Tecnam, Cub Crafters, Zenair, and more; certain Lycoming-powered helicopters produced by manufacturers such as Robinson, Helicopteres Guimbal and more; experimental aircraft kits manufactured by Van’s, Glasair, Lancair, Zenith, Safari, Inpaer, and others; and all 233 powered aircraft.

“Many of our engines have been approved to operate on unleaded aviation fuel since 1995,” says Michael Kraft, Lycoming senior vice president and general manager. “Recognizing that not every fuel is available worldwide, we are continuously working to expand our specified fuels list to give pilots the

flexibility they need to operate safely in the broadest range of locations. Our approval of UL 91 supports recent actions by European fuel producers and EASA to stabilize aviation fuel supplies for light aircraft and respond to environmental concerns over lead in aviation fuel.

European Union EASA Safety Information Bulletin No. 2011-01R1 states that: “No additional approval is required for the aeroplane, provided the aeroplane is already approved for operation with Avgas (according to ASTM D910, Def Stan 91-90, Mil-G-5572, GOST1012-72 or equivalent) or Mogas and the engine is already approved to use unleaded Avgas UL 91.”

The Light Aircraft Association in the United Kingdom reports that nearly 15 U.K. airfields currently offer UL 91 and another 10 are making arrangements to offer the fuel. Manufacturer TOTAL also reports that the fuel is available at 13 airfields in France and Switzerland, with some more preparing to offer it.

Plans are also in place to offer the fuel at airfields in Germany and Belgium.

“Avgas UL 91 is more environmentally friendly and our goal is make it more widely available at airfields in Europe,” says François Guay, senior aviation fuel developUL91 availability in the UK from ment manager February of TOTAL in France, which produces UL 91. “Lycoming’s approval will help widen our coverage and distribution.”

When finalized, the Lycoming approval will enable engines and their respective aircraft originally certified to operate on 80/87 leaded aviation fuel and/or 91-93 AKI automotive fuel to also operate legally on ASTM D7547 UL 91 in the European Union, Kraft says. In the United States, UL 91 will require an additional approval by the airframe manufacturer to operate aircraft using that fuel.

There are no known distributors of UL 91 in the United States at this time.

Propeller Overhaul

MAY 2012 “UL 91 is not a replacement for 100LL, but it is a very robust aviation-suitable alternative to automotive gasoline,” he adds. “For many regions of the world it may provide an aviation purposed fuel at lower prices than 100LL for a significant segment of the fleet. Lycoming remains vigorously supportive of a long-term unleaded 100LL replacement fuel which could serve the entire installed base.”  More information visit - www.lycoming.com

UK’s Wycombe Air Park Introduces AVGAS - Total UL91 AVGAS introduced, plus a very special £5 visitors landing fee!

In the tower at Wycombe Air Park

With immediate effect, Total UL91 AVGAS is now available at Wycombe Air Park. Visitors to Wycombe Air Park purchasing 20 litres or more of Total UL91 AVGAS now pay just a £5 landing fee.

Developed by Total, this new UL91 octane unleaded and environmentally friendly fuel is now available at Wycombe Air Park in addition to the standard 100LL AVGAS offering. To encourage both more General Aviation operators to both convert to Total UL91 AVGAS and visit Wycombe Air Park, David Phillips, MD of BAOL, has introduced a introductory visitors landing fee of just £5! Down from the normal rate of £14.30.To benefit from the £5 rate, visitors need to purchase a minimum of 20 litres of Total UL91 AVGAS. Total’s has removed the Tetra-Ethyl Lead (TEL) content from 100LL AVGAS to create Total UL91 AVGAS. A new fuel not only better for the environment but better for aeroplane engines too!

By removing TEL from the 100LL fuel offering, Total UL91 AVGAS eliminates the risk of both lead build up which can cause spark-plug fouling and fuel system damage. Total UL91 AVGAS is approved for a increasing range of engines powering General Aviation aeroplanes, including offerings from Rotax.  More information visit - www.wycombeairpark.co.uk

Growing naturally from her Formula One driver husband Thierry’s business at Boutsen Aviation, which has delivered over 220 jets since its founding in 1997, Boutsen Design selects, sources, and supports the finest “Arts of the Table,” from flatware to place settings to glassware, to comfortable and elegant accessories. The interior design is not fully integrated until attention has also been paid to soft goods and incidental items for the office, bath, and stateroom, including such important details as linens and pillows.

“Having a beautiful aircraft that embodies the absolute best taste and quality is important to the aircraft owner; maintaining consistency in the items, in the logbook, and in the manifest is just as important to the operator,” says Ms. Boutsen.

Noting that “A business aircraft interior is incomplete until the table is set, until the accessories are placed,” Boutsen Design works not only with Boutsen Aviation on its many client aircraft, but also works with independent owners, at the design and completion stages. Additionally, existing aircraft are now invited to display a new feeling of elegance by employing the design and sourcing team at the Monaco-based company.  More information contact daniela.boutsen@boutsen.com or visit www.boutsen.com continued on page 46

Cessna, wrestling with sluggish sales, is joining with units of the state-run Aviation Industry Corp. of China to make some of its existing planes in China and develop an all-new jet.

The move into business jets rounds out China’s aerospace-industry expansion. It is moving from being a supplier of business aircraft to a manufacturer.  More information visit – www.cessna.com

The Cessna Citation M2, a CJ1+ derivative launched in late September at the NBAA Convention in Las Vegas, achieved its maiden flight today from the aircraft manufacturer’s headquarters at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.

The M2 is designed to fill the gap between the Mustang and the CJ family. FAA certification (Part 23) is expected in the first half of 2013.  More information visit - www.cessna.com

The DA42 V1 is a much improved follow-up to the DA42NG, the first model that sported the Austro engines, developed by Diamond's sister company. The airplane has improved aerodynamics concentrated on the engine cowling and rudder and is considerably faster than the previous model. AVweb was given a brief test flight in the airplane and noted that its single-engine performance about 15,000 feet yielded nearly 400 FPM of climb.

which was up 5.4% from January. Part 91 and part 135 activity followed, up 3.7% and 3.3% respectively. The aircraft category results were also positive led by mid-size cabin aircraft.

The only month-overmonth decreases were in the fractional turboprop and part 135 large cabin markets which both posted a -3.8% decline.

The largest month-overmonth increase came in the fractional mid-size cabin sector, up 8.4%. Reviewing activity year-over-year (February 2012 vs. February 2011) aircraft activity increased 6.1% overall. Adjusting for the additional day in February 2012, year over-year aircraft activity still showed an increase of 2.4% and averaged 178 more flights per day than February 2011.

Also on view there will be an entirely new model, the DA52. This aircraft is based on Diamond's large-cabin DA50 idea, which was originally to have a large-displacement Continental gasoline engine or an as yet unannounced diesel. But, said Dries, "the DA50 will never have a 350-hp Continental engine." What it may have, he said, is a turbine engine. He declined to offer details but said the potential turbine will come from the east, not the west. Meanwhile, the DA52 twin will have the Austro engines, Dries said. The cabin is wider and longer than the DA42 and will be capable of accommodating 5 to 6 people.

NetJets’ recently released annual letter to shareholders delivers some topical thoughts from the sage of Omaha, Warren Buffett.

“A few years ago NetJets was my number-one worry – its costs were way out of line with revenues, and cash was haemorrhaging,” he outlined. “These problems are now behind us.”

NetJets delivered $227 million in pre-tax earnings last year, up $20 million from 2010.

- 2012 A Pivotal Year for European Business Aviation Business aviation faces many challenges, and with a host of new EU legislation, the industry expects more to come. So now is the time to be proactive. This was the message during the European Business Aviation Association’s (EBAA) Annual General Meeting held yesterday in Brussels at Eurocontrol headquarters.

As emphasized by EBAA CEO Fabio Gamba, European decision-makers must recognize the circumstances of aviation. Business aviation in particular is trying to make a healthy recovery after the difficult years following the worldwide economic crisis. It does so, however, in the face of new political hurdles and rising operating costs. These include a worrying proliferation of national taxes, a burdensome EU ETS, a faulty Single European Sky due to the lack of Member States’ political will, a recast of the slots regulation that deprives business aviation of historical rights under current form, and other important initiatives in domains such as ground handling, noise, and Community Guidelines on State aids at regional airports.

“We fully expect to take up our responsibilities as respected members of the European airspace community,” said Rodolfo Baviera, EBAA Chairman.

Grooving the runway at Lyon-Bron is a first for France’s business aviation airports since French Civil Aviation standards do not include grooving. It is therefore not mandatory.

Having just joined the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and in an effort to break into the UK and US markets, Lyon-Bron is adapting and improving its offer for international operators.

The JAR OPS rules (standards concerning the certification and operation of aircraft) specify that aircraft must come to a stop within 60% of the available runway length and in wet weather, the distance required for aircraft to land and brake is increased by 15%. These two rules are highly restrictive for airlines when it comes to choosing their airports.

The FAA grooving standard allows these airlines to disregard the 15% increase for landing on wet runways. This will mean that a wider range of aircraftwill be able to land at Lyon-Bron airport, whatever the weather.  More information visit – www.lyonaeroports.com

“But we are also working with legislators and regulators to ensure that the measures put in place help boost the European economy, not weaken it.”

“We may be facing headwinds, but that means we must push harder against them. We must demonstrate the significance of our industry.

And we must use our expertise and influence to assist politicians and regulators as they weather the global crisis,” stated Fabio Gamba, EBAA CEO. Another important initiative includes business aviation's campaign to curtail illegal charter flight activity within Europe. It aims to discourage the operation of aircraft without a valid Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) or which are non-compliant with traffic rights. EBAA has published guidance for operators, brokers, passengers, politicians, authorities and regulators. Additionally, it was a recent guest presenter at the European Commission where it won the commitment of national inspectors and EASA to work together to devise solutions to prevent and repress illegal flights.

“Twenty-twelve is a pivotal year for our industry.

There are many tough choices to make and challenges to face,” Fabio concluded, “and we – the collective we of industry and government – must do so sensibly and wisely.”  More information visit - www.ebaa.org.

BIZAV CONFERENCE

London airports Terminal Manoeuvring Areas (TMAs) without a pre- booked slot.

The zone covers 40 airports with the potential to impact on Southeast England controlled airspace.

There is no exemption to this rule, which even applies to Head of State flights. They also need to acquire airport slots and their flight plans could possibly be suspended if there is any discrepancy between what was filed originally and the actual flight plan.

BBGA Conference 2012 – Olympic Readiness and Training for our Future Olympian effort The British Business and General Aviation Association (BBGA) held its annual conference and AGM this month. Naturally the Olympics were a key theme. As ever this year’s British Business and General Aviation Association (BBGA) Conference took place in the Sopwell House Hotel in St Albans, Hertfordshire this month. It was the first one under the auspices of new CEO Marc Bailey, and drew some lively lunchtime discussion.

Chairman Marwan Khalek kicked things off with a reminder that the BBGA supports a ustainable general aviation industry in the UK. The value of this market to Britain annually is more than £2 billion.

The association’s patron His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent gave his traditional keynote speech, telling the audience that Britain is “a great place in which to live and do business.” He went on to discuss the paucity of skills in the executive aviation market. He said, “Training is not something we can rely on someone else to do. Every organization must play their part. It is vital that this drive for trained staff is fully integrated into our regional and national framework.”

Illegal charter Brian Humphries CBE, president of the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) highlighted the 570 operators, and 4,266 business aircraft installed in Europe last year. The aircraft types broke down into 2,936 jets, 1,279 turboprops and 51 BBJs. Total business aviation movements were 654,514, which represented 7.2% of all movements in the EU. Of these flights, 45% were commercial and 36% were non-commercial, and mostly took place in Europe’s economic heart.

The grey charter market is of great concern, and refers to non-commercial EU operators performing public transportation within EU territory without a valid Air Operators Certificate (AOC), or non-EU operators performing public transportation within the EU without traffic rights or /and without a valid AOC.

Olympic Games BizAv Provisions

Regulation EC300 and APD

The Olympics were the dominant thread of the day for most there. HRH concluded, “As a nation we are in a strong position to make the Olympics something special.” Ex Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) chairman, currently Deputy Chair of (LOCOG), Sir Roy McNulty, CBE gave the keynote speech, centering on the conference themes.

Next up were Paul Nickson, of the London Olympics 2012 Organizing Committee, Dawn Lindsey of the CAA, Brendan Kelly of the National Air Transportation Service, David Shephard from the Department of Transport and Lee Campbell of Airport Coordination, sharing insights about how operators should provide for the Games.

Regulation EC300 has long posed a problem for BBGA members. UK airports operate according the National Aviation Security Programme (NASP), a British body of rules and regulations on aviation security, which capture the requirements under the EU Regulations, but also include UK-only ‘More Stringent Measures’ (MSMs). This often results in confusion for travellers, particularly those coming from other EU countries.

The CAA has set up a dedicated hub in Canary Wharf. According to Nickson, the slot coordination team is working on temporary controlled airspace for the duration of the Games within the very busy Southeast England area, but said, “as yet there is uncertain demand because of late decision making by people who may attend.” He stressed, “We want to offer a positive visitor experience and limit disruption to business as much as possible.

Aircraft parking and runway constraints are likely to be the biggest problems.” He called on people to apply for permits as early as possible. Between the 21 July and 15 August 2012 inclusive there will be no IFR arrivals or departures into or out of the

Regulation 300 is the baseline security measure set out by the European Union and transposed into the UK specific ‘Single Direction’.

The direction came into force on 30th April 2010 replacing the previous NASP requirements.

During the first half of 2010 the DfT consulted on possible derogations for flights that pose a lower risk. The BBGA is campaigning for further investigation for its operators due to differing levels of risk. Marc Bailey highlighted the nature of most GA flights in the UK. The BBGA conference ended with breakout sessions covering training, operating during the Olympics, plus human factors and business aviation safety management systems.  More information visit - www.bbga.aero

- Green Light for Europe-wide state aid to helicopter manufacturers AgustaWestland and Eurocopter One of the final hurdles for Eurocopter to get state funding for its X4 programme has been cleared following a ruling by the European Commission. The commission has given a green light to the French government to provide the manufacturer with a €470 million loan for the project.

At the same time, the commission concluded that the Italian government is able to provide a €272 million zero-interest subsidised loan

MAY 2012 allowing AgustaWestland to proceed with the development of the AW169.

In a statement released on 7 March, the European Commission ruled that the measures are compatible with the EU rules on state aid, particularly as the planned public funding is justified, proportionate and without risk for competition.

European Commission VP in charge of competition policy, Joaquín Almunia, said: 'These two helicopters will bring significant progress in terms of flight security and reduced environmental impact.

They will also help to increase European know-how in leading-edge technologies.

The public support for these two highly innovative projects is fully justified.

repayable advance covering around 30% of total €470 million costs eligible for aid.

The statement said that 14.5% of the money will be used in ‘industrial research’, while the other 85.5% will be used in 'experimental development'.

Eurocopter’s X4 Concept

Details released by the EC reveal that Eurocopter will be paid a €143 million

The advances will be repaid in full when a pre-defined and unreleased sales target is attained while each additional delivery beyond this target will trigger the payment of a royalty fee to the French government.

AGUSTAWESTLAND

AgustaWestland's loan is spread over 19 years and the EC noted that it took account of AgustaWestland plans to carry out part of the AW169's development in depressed areas of Italy, the Campania, Lazio and Apulia regions in particular.

The NMEA INTEGRA e-Nav enables a connection to the data output from the aircraft’s own panel-mounted GPS, using the NMEA0183 interface, with the aircraft’s position being continually recorded and updated inside the e-Nav during normal operations. In an emergency, the INTEGRA will first attempt to get a position fix from its internal GPS, as this is the current and therefore most accurate information.

If this is unsuccessful, due to shielding of the metal fuselage, the position from the NMEA INTEGRA e-NAV will be used. This records the last known position (before the Master Switch is turned off on final approach during a forced landing), close to the aircraft’s eventual position.

“This joint Cessna and Bell facility is bringing first-class support and maintenance to our customers in this region,” said Dave Brant, Cessna’s senior vice president, Customer Service. “With the growing fleet of Citations in eastern and central Europe, business already has been brisk.”

Whether the data is from the INTEGRA ELT’s unique built-in GPS receiver or from the NMEA INTEGRA e-Nav, the emergency services will be able to pin-point location within a few minutes of the beacon being activated.

The European Union is investigating the possibility of a unified coast guard, bringing together national assets and offering SAR as a 'functional service' across Europe. A European Coast Guard feasibility study has been launched by the European Commission, and is expected to go to contract at the end of the year and be completed by the end of 2013.

Speaking at the SAR Europe conference on 15 March, Chris Reynolds, director of the Irish Coast Guard, said the study, which is being led

by DG Move, was currently having its terms of reference defined and would examine how to offer a standardised SAR service across Europe.

'The European Union is going to have to show that such a unified coast guard can bring improved effectiveness and efficiencies, at a reduced cost for the member states to sign up to this. Looking at the coast guard as a function, what is the best way to link groups of assets together to offer that service?' Reynolds said.

Stressing in his presentation that it was a personal view and the Irish government had yet to take an official position on the possible creation of a European Coast Guard, Reynolds outlined the possible areas of collaboration the feasibility study would examine, including the structured cooperation between national organisations at the operational level, ad hoc coordination in how nations offer their SAR services and permanent coordination in certain areas. As one example, he highlighted the greater buying power Ireland and the UK could gain by working together when renewing assets.

This is not the first time the EU has examined the concept of a unified coast guard and a previous study stalled before offering any firm recommendations to the commission.

Indeed, Reynolds admitted that a number of challenges stood in front of any effective changes being made in the sector, such as the fact that SAR policy at the member state level was often spread across many government departments and 'it is reasonable to say that many countries have only began to consider the concepts involved'.

FlightSafety International has reported a sharp increase in demand for its training services in the Middle East, in particular from operators of Sikorsky helicopters. In a press release on 8 March, the company reported that since 2007 training programmes for Sikorsky aircraft had increased by 84%.

The company, which offers simulation training on Bell, Eurocopter and Sikorsky helicopters as well as fixed wing training, provided more than 2,000 ‘training events’ to customers from the Middle East in the past year. This included pilot,

NH90 Pre-selected for Future Norwegian SAR NHIndustries has announced that Norway has pre-selected the NH90 helicopter for the ongoing NAWSARH (Norwegian all weather search and rescue helicopter) competition that aims to replace the search and rescue helicopters operated by the RnoAF 330th Squadron.

According to the company, the NH90 offered to Norway for the NAWSARH competition is the optimal platform for the Norwegian Rescue service since it is able to operate in the harshest weather conditions to perform search and rescue, air ambulance, disaster relief and special operations support missions.

The helicopter will be equipped with state of the art sensors for a good situational awareness in order to quickly locate and rescue people needing immediate assistance. The wide unobstructed cabin of the NH90 will be fitted with a complete medical care suite in order to take care of injured persons in flight.

Irish Coast Guard to Receive UK MCA S-92s in 2013 The Irish Coast Guard’s new Sikorsky S-92A will commence operations from its Shannon SAR base in July, with the remaining four aircraft expected to transfer from the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) contract in Scotland during 2013, according to CHC Ireland.

At the SAR Europe conference in Dublin on 15 March, representatives for the company outlined the introduction activities for the aircraft, which is part of a comprehensive fleet-wide replacement programme for the Irish Coast Guard.

Under the €500 million programme, CHC is contracted to provide SAR services to the coast guard through to 2022 from bases located near Shannon, Dublin, Waterford and Sligo.

CHC Ireland managing director Mark Kelly said the training programme for crews has been underway since October and will be completed

by June, ready for the start of operations by 1 July. utilized for SAR missions and operate from bases located near Shannon, Dublin, Waterford and Sligo, Ireland.

The first system was delivered in January and remaining systems are scheduled to be delivered during 2013.

The MX-15i will provide the Irish Coast Guard with the most technologically advanced multi-sensor EO/IR imaging capability available.

The system has been engineered as a one-line replacement unit solution, which reduces installation weight by 25 percent and increases much-needed cabin space for transporting rescue victims. The system’s digital IR camera is capable of a 20 percent increase in visual range, allowing missions at night or in inclement weather to result in a higher search success rate.  More information visit – www.l3wescam.com

‘The training FlightSafety provided to operators in the Middle East increased the most during the past year among those based in Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Kuwait, Oman, and Turkey,’ a statement from the company said.

FlightSafety is currently investing in the design and manufacture of 14 new Level D-qualified simulators, including AgustaWestland AW139 and Sikorsky S-76D. These will be installed at FlightSafety Learning Centres this year and next.  More information visit – www.FlightSafety.com

North American F-100C 54-192336th Fighter Wing, Bitburg AB

In 1956, the wing received the North American F-100 "Super Sabre," marking the first time a wing in USAFE flew supersonic jets. One of the F-100 pilots was future Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who served as a flight commander at Bitburg Air Base, Germany in the 22nd Fighter Squadron. Squadron-specific colored bands were applied to the tail fins of the F-100s, with five tail stripes for the wing commander's aircraft.

On 15 May 1958, the 36th FDW was redesignated as the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW), with its squadrons redesignated as Tactical Fighter Squadrons, because its missions had now grown to include delivery of tactical nuclear weapons under NCA and SACEUR direction.

525th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron - F-102 Era Convair F-102A “Delta Dagger” of the 515th FIS served at Bitburg AB from early 1959.

In January 1959 the 86th Air Division at Ramstein Air Base assigned the 525th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron to Bitburg flying the F-102A/TF-102A Delta Dagger. The 525th FIS became the first European-based F-102 squadron when it received its first aircraft (TF-102Bs) on 3 January 1959. The mission of the 525th was to confront Soviet fighter aircraft over the skies of Western Europe and operated under the USAFE 86th Air Division (Defense) at Ramstein Air Base West Germany on 1 July 1960. This transfer was made in order that all USAF fighter assets in Europe could be concentrated in one command. The F-102As were identified by blue stripes on their tails.

In November 1959, the 36th was assigned to Seventeenth Air Force. In May 1961, the wing received the Republic F-105 "Thunderchief".

Formal USAFE acceptance of the Mach 2 fighter-bombers was held at the Paris Air Show on 3 June 1961. Deliveries of the F-105D model were completed in 1963, and the 36th carried on its Cold War mission of tactical nuclear weapons delivery.

Republic F-105D Thunderchief aircraft from Bitburg’s 36thTFW in the 1960’s.

The first of the wing's 2-place F-105Fs arrived in March 1964, and all were on base by the end of the year. The F-105Fs performed the same roles and missions as the single-seat D models, except they provided for training new pilots in the thud's characteristics. The F-105s in Europe were specifically designed for the nuclear strike role, with the primary armament being a "special store" (a euphemism for a nuclear weapon) housed in the Thud's bomb bay. This weapon was usually a Mk 28 or a Mk 43 nuclear weapon. However, a Mk 61 store could be carried underneath the left or right inboard underwing pylon and a Mk 57 or a Mk 61 store could be carried underneath the centerline pylon.

However, as nuclear conflict became less and less likely in the European theater, the nuclear weapon carried in the bomb bay was usually replaced by a 390-gallon internal fuel tank, the offensive load being carried on four underwing pylons and/or on a pylon mounted underneath the fuselage on the centerline (attached to the bomb bay doors).

By 1966 the Thud was being phased out of NATO, being replaced by the McDonnell F-4D “Phantom II”. By December 1966, all the 36th TFW Thuds had been ferried Stateside for combat crew training duties at McConnell AFB, Kansas, or on to warfighting glory in SEA after stateside refurbishment.

F-4Es of the 23rd TFS, 36th TFW, based at Bitburg AB, carried Bicentennial markings in 1976.

During November 1968 the F-102s of the 86th AD were sent to Air National Guard units at CONUS and the 525th FIS was re-equipped with F-4Es and assigned to the 36th TFW. In 1969, the 23rd TFS left the 36th TFW and moved to the new 52nd TFW at neighboring Spangdahlem Air Base. In 1970 the Tail Code concept was established, with the following squadron insignia: 22d TFS "BR", 53d TFS "BT" and the 525th "BU". The 36th would continue to fly the F-4 until 1977, and all Bitburg tail codes were eventually streamlined to read "BT", and the aircraft's squadron was then identified by a color band tail flash.

39th Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron – Douglas EB-66C/E "Destroyer" Douglas EB-66C/E “Destroyer" of the 39th Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron

On 4 January 1969 the 39th Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron from Shaw AFB South Carolina was activated at Spangdahlem Air Base and assigned to the 36th TFW. The 39th TEWS flew the Douglas EB-66C/E "Destroyer" aircraft which engaged in various forms of electronic warfare. The B-66s were identified with tail Code "BV", with a black stripe on tail.

In August 1972 the 52d TFW was activated at Spandahlem. With this activation, the 39th TEWS and the 23d TFS were transferred to the 52d TFW. In September, the F-4Ds of the mid-1960s were replaced with the F-4E model with upgraded avionics and more importantly, the addition of an M61A1 cannon which give the Phantom an increased air-to-air combat capability. The tail coding of the 36th TFW aircraft were also standardized with "BT. The operational squadrons of the 36th TFW in 1973 were: 22d Tactical Fighter Squadron (Stingers: red tail stripe) 53d Tactical Fighter Squadron (Tigers: yellow tail stripe) 525th Tactical Fighter Squadron (Bulldogs: blue tail stripe)

President Ronald Reagan Visits Bitburg AB President Reagan’s visit to Bitburg Air Force Base in 1985

On 5 May 1985 President Ronald Reagan visited Bitburg Air Base as part of a visit to Kolmeshohe Cemetery near the town of Bitburg. West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl requested his visit to pay respects to the soldiers interred there.

By 1976 a major modernization of USAFE was necessary. The Soviet Union's new MiG and Sukhoi fighters made NATO military planners anxious. Indeed, intelligence reports about the MiG-25 left little room for comfort; the performance of this latest Russian combat aircraft was far superior to any NATO aircraft.

The twin-engined MiG-25 reached speeds of over 3,000 km/h even at high altitude (over 70,000 ft) and it could be armed with radar-guided AA-6 Acrid air-to-air missiles.

When the Soviets stationed large numbers in the Soviet Union and later in the GDR, NATO had to address this problem.
