FireFlies: Look Who’s Lighting up The Sky!

"Smoke on... pyros on...break break... GO!" That's the call from the FireFlies lead pilot Jon Gowdy as he and his team-mate Andy Durston literally light up the sky with their stunning twilight synchro display... With their debut just over two years ago the FireFlies are taking the UK display circuit by storm with their dazzling and innovative displays. But it’s not just the UK that's getting the bug to see more of them... they've got booking requests coming in from across Europe and even further afield. But who are the wizards behind the smoke and mirrored loops?

Introducing the Team… Lead pilot Jon Gowdy drives the display from his frontman aircraft G-SPRK, a Vans RV4. Jon's background includes a professional career with Air Atlantique flying the DC3, a stint down at the South Pole flying Twin Otters for the British Antarctic Survey, and presently as a pilot for British Airways on its 747 fleet. Gowdy has flown on every continent, which is something few pilots can say. His Display career includes such highlights as flying the Dragon Rapide, the Vampire and the Spitfire – not to mention a successful season (or three) in the much-loved Twister Duo Display Team. Formation pilot Andy Durston follows Jon's every move at speeds of up to 210mph just feet away in his RV4, G-SPRX. Andy's professional career started in the Royal Navy flying the Tucano, Hawk and the infamous Harrier. His current working seat is, like team-mate Jon, at British Airways on the 747 fleet.

Andy has displayed in Yaks and Pitts and has remarked that the highlight of his flying career is having been lucky enough to fly ML407, the Grace Spitfire. Following two very successful seasons the FireFlies are looking to shine even brighter this year as they prepare to enter the 2018 season with a full calendar of bookings and the exciting news of their new sponsor (shared with GA Buyer Europe first!), Catto Propellers.

A Sparkling Line-Up

Catto is an industry leader in the complex world of propeller blade dynamics and development, and team-mates Andy and Jon are very enthusiastic about the new relationship. "We're thrilled to be associated with such a great company as Catto and the aircraft are in the best shape we've ever had them coming into this season. It's going to be a great year for us," promises Andy.

The Daytime display is an exhilarating mixture of close formation and opposition flying, utilizing dynamic manoeuvres and smoke trails to highlight what man and machine can really do.

"I just got back from visiting Catto in California, what an impressive operation they run. First class! I'm proud to wear their badge," Jon adds. "We’re delighted to be supporting the FireFlies," says Nicole Catto, Director of Sales. "The FireFlies are innovative and very exciting to watch, we're thrilled they're using our Catto Propellers to maximize the performance of their aircraft. We wish them every success with the coming season," she adds.

But enough of the talk... what are the FireFlies serving up for the spectators this year? The FireFlies offer a fine choice of displays including a daytime aerobatic display and a twilight pyrotechnic display.

The twilight display is something altogether different. Something only a handful of pilots in the world are able to put on for the open-mouthed spectator below. Using specially designed pyrotechnic rigs fitted to the wingtips, controlled and sequenced from the cockpit (along with the smoke), Jon and Andy put on the best firework display you'll ever see as they rocket through the dark sky creating a dazzling spectacle of light and colour. Think shooting stars... but in formation! The team also makes availability in their display calendar for a few private functions too. So if you want to mix a top event with a bit of top gun... then check out the website below to learn more about how the FireFlies can light up the sky for you. From corporate events to weddings, from a giant hashtag to a beautiful big heart painted in the sky, the FireFlies always put on a show that will put a smile on your face. Look up and look out for the FireFlies Display Team as they light up the sky during the very exciting 2018 display season.

Under the supervision of the Swiss Federal Office for Civil Aviation (BAZL), engineers and aircraft craftsman were able to gradually bring a piece of aviation history back to life. Compromises with modern technology were made in as few areas as possible. The search for a reliable powerplant resulted in the installation of a 450hp Pratt & Whitney R-985 ‘Wasp Junior’ radial engine, which is still in use worldwide. First flight brought its challenges since no pilots with prior F 13 experience who could have offered insights into the F 13's flying qualities remained. Nevertheless, everything went smoothly, and the team was surprised at the benign handling characteristics. Future plans include small-scale production in response to individual market demand, using the experience gained in the construction of the first airplane.

Robin Aircraft Could Build the CAP10C Again

CEAPR (Robin Aircraft) is currently investigating the resumption of series production of the two-seater CAP10C aircraft. The first CAP10C NG (New Generation) could roll out of the workshop in Darois in January 2019. This is good news for air sports clubs and aerobatics organisations who would be able to buy a side-by-side aerobatic single piston, and also for the owners of old CAP10 who can hope for cheaper spares prices.

CAA Bridges Delay in EASA Amendment to Aircrew Regulations

The UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) planned to introduce a series of exemptions to allow UK General Aviation pilots and training organisations to continue to operate during a delay to the publication of the EASA amendment to the aircrew regulation.

Ninety-nine years after the maiden flight of the Junkers F 13, its historic replica has been certificated. Program founder and investor Dieter Morszeck was excited that after the completion of extensive flight testing the airplane was certified. The all-metal construction of the original F 13 was revolutionary, and the construction of the replica required the company to re-learn long-forgotten construction techniques using corrugated aluminium.

Junkers Aircraft Factory is Back in Business

MAY 2018

Werft Zell, located in Zell am See, Austria, has become a maintenance and repair partner for Stemme sports aircraft. Werft Zell was founded in 2012 and is led by Ewald Pfeiffer and Nora-Lisa Anichhofer. The company employs a staff of eight who work in a modern hangar. I More information from: www.stemme.com

The EASA amendment, originally due to be published in March, would enable certain regulated GA activities to continue after 8 April 2018 and introduce new ones. To reduce the impact on the GA community the CAA was working with the UK Department for Transport to publish several exemptions before 8 April 2018. These replicate the expected EASA amendment and will: • Enable Registered Training Facilities to continue after April 8, 2018 • Permit the continued use of UK national pilot licensing arrangements to operate EASA balloons, sailplanes and powered sailplanes after April 8, 2018 • Assist NPPL(A) SLMG pilot licence holders. There was, however, no means for the CAA to implement the new Declared Training Organisations (DTOs) that are also part of the EASA change until the relevant European regulation comes into force. This meant that DTOs would not be available from April 8, 2018 as expected. The CAA understands that EASA hopes to implement the aircrew regulation later this summer with no further changes to the regulation. Meantime, the CAA will publish the UK exemptions on its website as an official record.

Could Alice be set to Revolutionize Regional Travel?

According to Eviation Aircraft’s Omer Bar-Yohay (pictured right), aviation is one of the world’s dirtiest industries. Thus, Eviation has been developing Alice, an electric aircraft which it says will soon be capable of flying up to nine passengers 650 miles on a single charge, at minimal cost… Unlike medium - and heavy-duty transportation markets which have been radically transformed by technology innovation over the last several decades, aviation remains one of the most carbon-intensive industries. Indeed, aviation is projected to consume one-fourth of the world’s carbon budget by 2050 and it is currently lagging behind its counterparts on the ground in the race to electrify.

in electric aircraft may help to change perceptions. With dropping battery prices and tremendous technical advances in composites, regional electric air flight could soon provide commuters a safe, quiet, emissions-free option aboard aircraft able to take advantage of the thousands of airfields that are infrequently used in Europe, North America (as many as 20,000) and elsewhere.

Relatively little has been done to electrify aircraft carrying packages and people from one place to another.

Users would be able to summon these aircraft via an app on their phones, and when shared with others the cost of the flight could be comparable to a bus ticket today.

Approximately, 50% of the world’s 4.5 billion annual passenger flights are 500 miles or less, a distance classified as ‘regional’. For some of these shorter trips, flying may not even currently be an option, and (with much of the world lacking high-speed rail) many passengers have no choice but to drive, which often means wasted hours of sitting in traffic.

Introducing Alice Eviation Aircraft has been building the tools that it believes will change the way we travel. Specializing in the manufacture of all-electric air mobility solutions, the goal of the company is to make clean regional air travel accessible for all.

Relatively few commuters consider General Aviation as a viable travel alternative – although developments

Eviation’s Alice aircraft debuted at the Paris Air Show in June 2017 and the company believes it will soon

be capable of flying up to nine passengers on a single charge for 650 miles. Essentially, Alice offers the following four key capabilities: Electric Design: The Eviation team has radically and holistically reimagined the entire aircraft, including the airframe, propeller and motor, while maximizing energy management and flight efficiency. This allows for more aerodynamic design, lower maintenance and energy costs, higher propulsive efficiency, low noise and zero emissions. Ultra-Light Design: Eviation has utilized a state-ofthe-art, all composite body to compensate for the weight of the battery, which takes up 65% of the aircraft’s weight. High Energy Density Battery System: Having recently partnered with Kokam, a leading battery manufacturer based in South Korea, Eviation has outfitted the early Alices with a compact battery cell design and an industry-leading energy density of 260 Watt-hours per kilogram, optimized to achieve light, energy-efficient solutions that meet the safety demands of an aircraft. Autonomous Flight: Alice was built from the very beginning as an Optionally-Piloted Vehicle for increased flexibility and expansion of services today, and full autonomy for when flying regulations permit. Bright Future for Alice? The regional transportation market is primed for ‘disruption’, projects Eviation, and Alice will soon be able to address the needs for access to regional transit corridors in North America, Europe and beyond. Imagine traveling from London to Berlin in comfort, aboard an on-demand, emissions-free, hour-long flight. Eviation is working hard to make that a reality.

How is Avidyne Breaking Ground in New Territory

Company's approach makes flying easier and safer, with more accessible information. Avidyne Corporation recently announced certification of R10.2.1 software for its IFD540 and IFD440, as well as approval for their installation in Robinson R22, R44 and R66 Helicopters. The new software, for all its additional usefulness for helicopters, continues Avidyne's focus on providing information that is truly useful to pilots of both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. Announcing the product at the recent HELI-EXPO in Las Vegas, Avidyne CEO Dan Schwinn said, "R10.2.1 delivers product improvements for IFD customers flying any type of aircraft. We are especially excited to add helicopter enablement features that focus on the specific needs of helicopter operators." These features and improvements were well received.

plus knobs and buttons for easier operation through all phases of flight. Additional enhancements include improved support for Avidyne's GTX345 ADS-B interface. All IFDs also provide remote COM channel increment and frequency transfer capabilities, which are particularly helpful in the high-workload operating environments. Operators who upgrade to these IFDs also have the option to add Wi-Fi connectivity with Avidyne’s IFD100 (an iPad-based version of the panel-mounted IFDs). The IFD100 provides independent, large-screen display and control of the panel-mounted system and provides a large-screen 3D synthetic vision view for improved situational awareness.

A HELI-EXPO First

Pricing and Availability

Avidyne is well-known for its industry-leading integrated avionics systems, displays and safety systems for general aviation aircraft, but HELI-EXPO marked the first time the company unveiled a product specifically for helicopters. Of particular use to helicopter pilots are the additional modifications of the MapMx interface to support more than 31 waypoints, and, in answer to Avidyne's customer research and response, a way to allow fuel range ring time to be configurable. Further addressing helicopter operators' specific needs, pilots flying with the IFD540 or IFD440 and the new R10.2.1 software will have easy access to heliports, helicopter SID/STAR/ Approaches, VFR waypoints, AWIS frequencies on the frequency list, and helicopter 'ownship' on Map and Synthetic Vision displays.

R10.2.1 software is currently shipping with all new IFD units and is available for download through Avidyne dealers as a field upgrade. R10.2.1 is available from Avidyne at no charge. Helicopter Enablement is a $499 option. (Pricing does not include any labour charges.) Schwinn said in an interview, “Helicopter operators are finding out what many of our fixed-wing customers already know, and that is what sets Avidyne apart - the company's focus on ease of use. We are the leader in pilot-centric avionics."

More information from: www.avidyne.com/heli

Of Particular Interest to European Flyers... Avidyne’s new R10.2.1 software includes VFR Reporting Points, operation on 8.33khz, and an EASA AML STC that exploits the plug-and-play, slideout/slide-in replacement in existing racks that previously housed legacy GNS430/530 units. Avidyne's new IFD550 features synthetic vision, and an attitude determination system is incorporated into this GPS navigator and communications unit, with its hybrid-touch user interface that incorporates touch,

How Cirrus is Fulfilling One Man’s Vision to Fly

Taking Flight on the Fast Track

He took delivery of his second Cirrus aircraft at the company’s Vision Center in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Andrew explains they take “very good care of you”.

Andrew Gilbert is not afraid of a challenge. At the age of 23, he launched Node4, a startup that is now a leader in cloud computing. And that same entrepreneurial attitude drove him to tackle his lifelong dream of learning to fly.

“Freedom” is the word Andrew uses to describe how flying has changed his life. He travels more and makes it home in time for dinner. He also takes his family on more adventures, and connects with his young sons through flying.

“Learning to fly was a long-standing ambition of mine,” Andrew reflects. “So, as soon as my schedule opened up to include a bit of free time, I knew I had to make the commitment.”

“I think my boys like the idea that their own dad is a pilot,” Andrew comments. “They are still quite young but they love the experience and get excited when we take the plane out. And my 7-year-old has started to sit up front and ask questions.”

Though a free schedule is a great excuse to start working towards a private pilot’s license, Andrew needed just a bit more motivation – and that was provided as he took delivery of, and was able to train in his first Cirrus SR22 at The Flight Academy, a Cirrus Certified Training Center located in Seattle, Washington. There’s nothing like wanting to solo your brand-new plane to spur your training along. Not unlike his cloud computing business, Andy chose a very fast path to getting his pilot’s license. He traveled from the UK to Seattle and committed to an intense training schedule of six days a week, for six weeks straight. “Training in Seattle was a fantastic experience,” Andrew recalls. “It was hard to be away from my family, but being outside of my normal environment forced me to focus. And training in my own aircraft at a certified training center provided the confidence I needed to stick to a slightly daunting accelerated approach.”

‘Vision’ for the Future Idling along is certainly not Andrew’s modus operandi. He plans to pilot his own Vision Jet, an ambitious plan that would definitely make the folks at Cirrus proud. As the world’s first single-engine Personal Jet, the Vision Jet was designed to do exactly that – be flown by the owner and pilot. Andrew’s training ground was Boeing Field – an international airport in Seattle and home to airliners and plenty of air traffic. In his words, it was “a proper flying experience”. Stressful at times, but also realistic and challenging, it more than prepared him for his first solo flight: 200 nautical miles of crisp blue February skies to a rural airport on the west coast. It was surreal. It was exhilarating. It was addictive, and Andrew hasn’t turned back since. “Coming from the IT world, I immediately connected with the avionics,” Andrew says. “The integration allows me to plan everything from the route to the weight and balance, and seamlessly connect via Bluetooth. My work load as a pilot is greatly eased, which means I can basically step into my SR and fly.”

Freedom of Flight Andrew completed his training in 2016 and he hasn’t stopped since. He upgraded to an SR Series G6 in 2017 and is quickly approaching delivery of his much-anticipated Vision Jet this summer. 22 PISTON BUYER EUROPE MAY 2018

Andrew’s central location in the UK has allowed him to fly across the snowy mountains of the Swiss Alps and the azure waters of Southern France. So, it’s only fitting that his bucket-list Vison Jet trip is to the (slightly less tranquil) desert of Las Vegas, Nevada. Here’s to hoping that gamble has as much of a pay-off as those intense weeks of training for the first time in his Cirrus.

EASA Approval for Garmin G500 TXi, G600 TXi, EIS TXi

G500 TXi

TXi Series Flight Displays in a Baron

Boasting a clean-sheet touchscreen design and vibrant presentation, Garmin’s new G500 TXi/G600 TXi flight displays incorporate greater situational awareness tools and an innovative feature set into a contemporary avionics platform. EIS TXi Three displays are available, offering optimal flexibility for panel configurations. These include a large 10.6-inch display, and two versions of 7-inch displays, in portrait and landscape orientations. The 10.6-inch display can operate as a primary flight display (PFD), multi-function display (MFD) and optional integrated EIS in a highly customized package, while the 7inch portrait display can be dedicated to any one of those functions.

Say Goodbye to Standbys

In configurations with multiple displays, the TXi series offers a reversionary mode capable of displaying all pertinent flight and EIS information, on a single display in the event one display goes offline. Additionally, the 7-inch TXi displays are compatible with an optional back-up battery, which can power the display for 30-minutes in the event the aircraft electrical system fails.

The 7-inch landscape display is available exclusively as a dedicated EIS solution. The G500 TXi system is intended for Part 23 Class I/II aircraft under 6,000lbs. and the G600 TXi flight displays are intended for Class III aircraft that weigh up to 12,500lbs.

Aircraft owners that install a dual 7-inch G500 TXi system on the pilot’s side of the cockpit, with dual ADAHRS and a back-up battery can also forego the requirement for standby flight instruments.

Greater Scalability, Building Block Design & Simplified Upgrades

The G500 TXi and G600 TXi also support additional features and options, including:

Multiple panel configurations and display orientations allow pilots and aircraft owners to better leverage their current or future avionics investment. Three display formats support 26approved cockpit configurations and over 600 aircraft makes/models. Installation configurations vary as the TXi family is also capable of displaying engine information on a dedicated 7-inch display or in split-screen mode on the 10.6-inch display. Up to four displays can be installed in a single cockpit, offering superior scalability in hundreds of aircraft.

Industry-First Touchscreen EIS Solutions

Available as an integrated solution within the 10.6-inch G500 TXi and G600 TXi system or as a standalone 7-inch EIS display, the TXi series display real-time engine indications in an easy-to-read format. The TXi family supports various features, including lean assist mode, pilot-configurable advisories and more, providing pilots with the opportunity to achieve greater fuel economy, improved engine efficiency and superior engine operation. Compatible with single-engine and twin-engine normally aspirated or turbo-charged aircraft, the EIS TXi system supports Lycoming or Continental 4/6-cylinder engines, offering a broad range of aircraft compatibility. The integrated EIS TXi solution also allows for a variety of integration possibilities with the G500 TXi and G600 TXi glass flight displays.

Crossing the Atlantic in a Cirrus SR22 Tips on Preparing for an Atlantic Crossing, by Roger Harr

Crossing the Water The water in the North Atlantic is between 2°C and 4°C. Without a survival suit, you would have perhaps 1-2 minutes to board a life raft. If unsuccessful, you don’t have any chance for survival. Thus, I took special survivor training in Germany in an indoor pool where they simulated waves, wind and darkness. Roger Harr

In 2016, Roger Harr made his second NorthAtlantic flight crossing in his Cirrus SR22. Roger spoke to Aircraft Guaranty Corp about his experience.

We practiced everything, such as how to ditch from an upside-down airplane, how to exit the plane underwater, making it to the surface, and boarding the life raft. I learned quite a lot about the different types of survival suits and life rafts. This is critical knowledge for pilots planning such a trip.

When you plan a flight such as an Atlantic crossing, it’s very, very important to know all that you can in advance. You must prepare for everything as highlighted by Roger here…

Long-Distance Aircraft Communications Make sure you understand communication capabilities along your flight path. For my trip, I learned the following:

Flight Plans and the Weather Before my first Atlantic crossing three years ago, I studied the weather for two months prior to the trip. Every morning, I studied the weather charts of the North Atlantic, writing down if the weather would allow me to fly the leg from A to B on that day or not.

• There is a corridor north of Scotland (Iceland Kulusuk - Sondrestromfjord – Iqaluit) where you usually have radio contact if you are flying at FL140 or above. • Iceland and Greenland accept satellite phones. • When flying from Narsarsuaq to Goose Bay below FL250, you need to have a HF radio.

In the evening, I’d check the weather again to see if the decision I had made that morning was correct. This proved to be an effective and accurate training exercise that helped me understand the weather situation in the North Atlantic. (It’s certainly not the same as it is back home!) Your Aircraft and the Weather Crossing Greenland is the most difficult part of a North-Atlantic flight crossing. Most people know about Greenland’s ice coverage, but it’s not common knowledge that the ice is two-miles thick. The ice at several places is so heavy that it presses the ground underneath it to sea level. When crossing Greenland, you must be absolutely sure that you can fly either higher than the clouds or below them. When the clouds are lying on the surface of this ice shield, it results in negative degrees Celsius. I know that it’s impossible to do this for hours with a Cirrus. So, be sure to understand the North Atlantic weather, and also the capabilities of your airplane. 30 PISTON BUYER EUROPE MAY 2018

I had three different satellite datalinks which provided weather information and let me contact my family with text messages while en route. I was also equipped with a portable satellite beacon that could contact rescue teams via text messages in case of an emergency. Often there is no radar coverage over the ocean for the low flight levels, but oceanic controllers must still make sure all the aircraft are safely separated by distance and altitude. Since they can’t “see” the aircraft, controllers rely on pilots to report their position at regular intervals. A position report provides an aircraft’s location, speed and altitude so the controller can build a 3D picture of all the traffic. Pilots are required to report their position by radio every 10° longitude. Fuel Planning Alternates are rare in Greenland, so I prepared and planned with this understanding. Pre-flight planning must include calculating a Point of No Return (PNR). The PNR is also known as the Point of Safe Return (PSR), the furthest point along a track that you can fly towards the destination and have sufficient fuel to divert to an alternate, with safe reserves on arrival.

Aircraft Garanty edit April18.qxp_TURBINE NEWS AUG 16 05/04/2018 11:38 Page 2

In other words, it is your last chance to assess the prospect of a successful approach and landing at your destination, and to decide whether to go on or to divert. If any doubt exists, divert to the alternate. In North Canada there are problems with the availability of AVGAS. During my first Atlantic crossing in 2014, I paid $1,300 for a 54Gal AVGAS drum. A bit further to the south, they were even asking $2,000! It’s worth phoning around to find the best solution for your trip. For flights like this, I have a manual fuel pump and filters in my equipment box. Aircraft Icing Procedures It’s important to fully understand the icing systems for your aircraft. The G2 TKS inadvertent ice system on the Cirrus SR22 is not approved for flights into known icing. It’s certified as a “No Hazard” system for normal operations only. Therefore, no determination has been made as to the capability of the system to remove or prevent ice accumulation.

Why should I register in the US? • It helps non-US Citizens register with the FAA. • It makes it easy for foreign nationals to make frequent trips to their US homes. • The FAA’s maintenance and registration requirements are favorable for GA aircraft. • It helps publicly traded corporations meet FAA requirements. • It enables foreign businesses to lease planes in the US. • Short-term trusts allow non-US citizens to temporarily register while preparing for deregistration. • Repossessed or stored aircraft can be registered, maintained and remarketed to US buyers. • Foreign manufacturers can register in the US to demo and sell aircraft to US buyers.

The Cirrus SR22 G2 wing anti-icing system does not cover the entire wing. The TKS titanium panel does not deliver coverage on a portion of the beginning wing root and the outer wing tip. Coverage was later increased on the Cirrus SR22 G3 wing.

WWW.AGCORP.COM | Tel. +1 281-445-7594

If icing is inadvertently encountered, the pilot must decide on the most appropriate TKS operating mode. The system allows a pilot to start delivering anti-icing fluid to the wing leading edges, stabilizer and prop blades. Normal mode should be selected when conditions for icing are encountered and before ice accretion. The Cirrus SR22 G2 wing TKS system operating time while in “normal” mode is up to 60 minutes. If ice has accreted to flight surfaces, the pilot should select TKS maximum mode. The Cirrus SR22 G2 wing TKS system operating time while in “maximum” mode is up to 30 minutes. Equal time point (ETP) is the point along the planned track where the flight time would be the same forward to the destination as it would be to track back to the departure. Obviously, the wind plays a big part in determining the location of the ETP as it determines our ground speed. In nil wind, the ETP will be the halfway point distance-wise. When wind is introduced, the ETP will move towards the destination. Cirrus pilots are cautioned not to operate the TKS system for extended time in clear air, at high altitudes and very cold temperatures. Doing so can result in “flash” evaporation of water and alcohol from the de-icing fluid. Flash evaporation will result in a glycol rich fluid that can become gel like on wing and windshield surfaces. De-icing fluid capacity on the G2 TKS system is 2.9 gallons. I knew I had to to stay out of clouds when the temperatures were below freezing level. Contingency and Emergency Planning As pilots, it’s ideal to always know where we are along our planned flight track relative to our departure and destination points. If we don’t know where we are, how do we know what the best plan of action would be should there be a problem during flight?

Other Flight Items Following are some additional supplies you should not overlook when stocking your airplane for a similar trip: • I had two external GPS, two iPads, and paper charts for the whole route.

• Emergency food and water for four days were taken.

• Polar survival equipment for the eternal ice of Greenland.

• My camera was a Sony Cyber Shot DSC-RX100 IV (one of the best-available compact cameras). Important: You have to be able to take pictures with one hand and you will get the best quality doing so with a collapsible rubber lens hood you can press on the window to avoid reflections.

What Makes the Pilatus PC-12 a Stand-Out Aircraft?

The Oriens Aviation Team

Oriens Aviation’s CEO Edwin Brenninkmeyer has enjoyed many years in aviation. During that time, one particular aircraft has captured his interest. GA Buyer Europe spoke with Mr Brenninkmeyer to discover what it is about the Pilatus PC-12 that really stands out? GAB: Edwin, where did your involvement with Pilatus PC-12s begin? You’ve been flying a long time, but what was it about the PC-12 that really stood out and captured your interest? Brenninkmeyer: A good friend of mine has been a PC-12 aficionado for many years and even though I have been flying for a long time, I was still astonished by the sheer size of the aircraft the first time I saw it up close at Biggin Hill in 2010. Since then, I’ve flown with my owner/pilot friend in his PC-12 on short, VFR trips within the UK as well as longer trips around Europe. I was so impressed to see such a large aircraft operating routinely in strips such as Courchevel and became ever-more aware of their presence at the large international airports too. I always thought the PC-12 was somewhat unobtainable, but when I learnt that the per-mile fuel costs and maintenance costs rival (even beat) the cost of operating my own six-seat piston-single, I never looked back. GAB: One of the key selling points of the PC-12 is the versatile interior. On the one hand it’s spacious and comfortable, on the other it must need to withstand plenty of wear and tear from transporting just about anything (Kayaks, Motorbikes, even stuffed alligators per one Pilatus video). What is the secret of the PC-12 interior that allows it to offer the best of both worlds seamlessly? What did BMW get so right? Brenninkmeyer: It’s the combination of the durable BMW quality with Pilatus’ design philosophy which allows rapid conversion

from one interior to another. It’s the ability to quickly remove any seats that may become scuffed and separate the seating area from the cargo area with a strong net that acts as a barrier, allowing any cargo to be securely tied down not only for safety but also to ensure that nothing can move and damage any interior trim. The completely flat floor facilitates cleaning and the huge cargo door at the back means that cargo can be very easily and conveniently loaded and unloaded in an area that is wholly separate from the plush seats. This makes it so easy to keep the interior looking absolutely fresh and ready for conversion back into the executive configuration. GAB: Tell us how the PC-12’s safety record compares against similar aircraft… Brenninkmeyer: The aircraft is still flown by a large number of owner/pilots around the globe - often with no commercial pilot’s licences. Despite this, the accident record is, hands down, better than any other owner-flown aircraft flying today. Indeed, the accident record is half as good again as that for the fleet of all US business jets between 1964 and 2015, most of which are professionally flown. The PC-12 has been designed to be an easy aircraft to operate. It is large and very stable to hand-fly with sophisticated avionics and systems designed with a relatively low-hours, single-pilot in mind to enable him or her to cope in any emergency. GAB: And how about the maintenance needs of the PC-12? This aircraft is built for durability and ruggedness - what advantages does it hold over similar aircraft on the market in terms of its maintenance costs/needs? Brenninkmeyer: The best example is to consider the American PC-12 operator that flies approximately 2,000 hours per airframe, per year. That’s an average of over five hours of

flying, per day, 365 days per year. This simply cannot be achieved in an aircraft that requires heavy maintenance (and usually aircraft that fly that hard, do require heavy maintenance). The PC-12 takes it all in its stride… For the first five years of typical owner utilisation (approx. 300 hours per year), the total maintenance bills for the large 10-seater are similar to, or lower than for my ageing six-seat, complex, piston-single. The airframe is simple and comes with a seven-year factory warranty. There is only one powerplant (under a five year warranty) and even the complex avionics can be fully covered under extended warranty programmes (once the initial three year warranty has expired) allowing for complete peace of mind. The first major scheduled maintenance item occurs after seven years and the engine hot section inspection after 1,750 hours, both of which cost in the region of only £10-15k each. GAB: Oriens Aviation is a Pilatus Approved Service Centre. How widespread are the maintenance services you offer? Are your clientele operating within a specific region with specific needs, or is your coverage more wide-spread? Brenninkmeyer: Oriens Aviation is a one-stop shop for all your Pilatus warranty and maintenance requirements and can arrange everything for you. Most maintenance is done in-house, but for specialist work such as propellers, interior refurbishment, paint and engine overhaul, we work with trusted partners. We are delighted to be supported by Goodwood (also an approved Pilatus maintenance centre). Though we only promote and market ourselves actively within the British Isles, any Pilatus customer may choose to use any Pilatus Service Centre, anywhere in the world.
