We welcome and encourage your comments, criticism and suggestions... and hope that you'll become active members of the ANN community, though we'd like to ask you one big favor... PLEASE TELL EVERYONE ABOUT AERO-NEWS! NEWS SUMMARY: Remember... You Have to Go to www.aero-news.net to read the WHOLE story! There's much more! ----------------------------------------------------------------- ANN Daily Sponsor: 12.18.12 Edition: Aero-TV: Redbird's Sharp--Transforming the Art & Craft of Flight Instruction (2) Redbird's Roger Sharp Reports Results On The First Year Of An Exciting Experiment (Part 2 of 5) Aviation has been undergoing some rough years... and the future is, as yet, quite uncertain. There are few facets of the aviation world more uncertain, though, than that of the flight training industry and community. Years of "...that's the way we've always done it," have created a serious culture clash among those who feel the old ways are the good ways, and those who feel that its time for something "completely different." Redbird Flight Simulation's Skyport experiment was specifically designed to look at the future of flight training... to retain the best of what works and to overhaul what doesn't. At its Migration Flight Training Conference last October, Redbird announced the school has graduated 20 Private Pilots, as well as completed 18 instrument ratings, one multi-engine rating and one instrument instructor certificate. It took an average of 38 flight hours to complete the private pilot rating, which is less than two-thirds the national average. Roger Sharp, Director of Flight Operations for the Skyport, offered up an extensive report on what they have learned... from Skyport as well as the 46 products that have come out of this process thus far -- with more on the way. "We found that we needed to completely rethink the learner, the materials and delivery methods... We identify better methods every week." Some of these products are high-tech, such as a Guided Independent Flight Training or GIFT, which demonstrates maneuvers in the simulator and scores student performance on that maneuver automatically. Sharp points out that most instructors don't enjoy teaching the basics in a simulator, so GIFT and the communications-training software Parrot automate the process until the student is ready to practice with live person watching. The instructor can be more a coach and mentor that a primary teacher, which suits most instructors better. ANN is pleased to present an excerpted hour of one of the most intriguing presentations we witnessed in 2012... and look forward to far more in 2013.

Under the current rules, in an emergency appeal situation, the NTSB defers to the FAA on the facts of the case. NBAA has advocated for several years for the NTSB to change this position. NTSB recently declined to do so, noting a lack of resources to hold hearings on petitions contesting emergency determinations. “This is fundamentally unfair and contrary to all notions of due process,” said attorney Paul Lange, who is leading NBAA’s initiative to change this policy. Furthermore, NBAA believes the board’s position is contrary to Congressional intent with the recently enacted Pilots Bill of Rights. In the comment letter regarding due process, the NBAA said that "the FAA need do nothing more than carefully draft the factual allegations in its complaint so as to prevail in any challenge to its emergency determination," the letter states. "The overwhelming percentage of cases decided by the Board in favor of the FAA on this issue proves the point." As to the PBOR, the NBAA said that "there was no debate regarding what Congress intended" when passing the Pilot's Bill of Rights. The organization also said that the board failed to follow appropriate administrative procedures. The NBAA said in its letter that it "truly appreciates the NTSB's willingness to revisit the appropriateness and effectiveness of its regulations dealing with the rules of practice in air safety proceedings and the Equal Access to Justice Act of 1980." They say they will support any NTSB efforts to update and improve these regulations.

Of the 10,193 eligible pilots, 97.66 percent participated in the ratification vote. 67 percent approved the agreement. This agreement brings both pilot groups together, working under a single contract. It will begin to be implemented immediately, and will provide gains in compensation, work rules, job protections and retirement and benefits for the pilots. Union officials said the contract ratification represents a giant step toward finalizing the merger between the two airlines. "The era of bankruptcy and concessionary contracts is now over," said Capt. Jay Heppner, chairman of the United Master Executive Council and Capt. Jay Pierce, chairman of the Continental Master Executive Council, in a jointly-issued statement. "For too long, the pilots of United and Continental have had to shoulder more than their share of the burden as our respective airlines struggled through the difficult economic times of the past decade. We now stand ready to embark on a fresh start for the pilots and the airline. "We call on United management to seize this opportunity for a new beginning, and to work with us as equal, respected partners in building United Airlines as the world's preeminent airline." Captains Heppner and Pierce also thanked the Joint Negotiating Committee for its tireless work in negotiating this agreement for the pilots, as well as the National Mediation Board for their assistance in helping the parties reach this agreement. Now that the combined contract has been approved, the union leaders said integrating the seniority lists represents the next major hurdle in combining the two pilot groups into a single, 12,000-member strong unit. The seniority integration process is expected to take several months to complete. The process is independent of airline management and involves negotiations between the two pilot groups. Absent an agreement, binding arbitration will be used to settle any remaining differences. The process follows a predefined timeline following contract ratification that was agreed upon by the two pilot groups shortly after the merger was announced. "The ratification of this agreement is an important step forward for our pilots and the company," said Fred Abbott, United's senior vice president of flight operations. "We look forward to the efficiencies and teamwork we will achieve as our pilots become one group once they complete their seniority integration." "I want to thank both negotiating teams and the National Mediation Board for their efforts in reaching this agreement that provides both improvements for our pilots and increased competitiveness for United," said Mike Bonds, United's executive vice president of human resources and labor relations. "We are making good progress working together with our remaining employee groups to reach joint agreements to become a fully combined workforce." The agreement runs through December 2016.

"After years of research and experimentation, 12 seconds of powered flight over the hills of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, vindicated the passion and resolve with which Wilbur and Orville Wright pursued their lifelong dream. Like so many Americans before and after them, these two men achieved the unthinkable, and their achievements changed our way of life. On Wright Brothers Day, we reflect on their astonishing feat and celebrate the ambition it still inspires more than a century later. "Wilbur and Orville Wright were the kind of entrepreneurs Americans everywhere root for. Their inspiration sparked from their mother, Susan -- a gifted mathematician in her own right who challenged her children to think big and dream bold. The brothers overcame years of personal hardship to open their own bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, quickly improving on the designs of the bikes they sold and eventually expanding to manufacture their own models. As they mastered their craft, they turned their attention skyward. Similar stories of resilient, canny entrepreneurship have unfolded throughout our Nation's history -- from the founding of our airlines and auto industry to the growth of our research institutions and small businesses. While each journey has been unique, all have advanced that same brand of rugged determination to stay ahead of the curve and keep America moving forward. "With their game-changing feat, the Wright brothers earned their place in history as innovators who helped trigger America's rise as an economic superpower, and whose example inspired the kind of businesses and industries that built and grew our middle class. As we mark Wright Brothers Day, let us carry their legacy forward by taking on new challenges with tenacity and meeting our hardships with courage, confident that our shared future is bright and our best days are still ahead. "The Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 17, 1963, as amended (77 Stat. 402; 36 U.S.C. 143), has designated December 17 of each year as "Wright Brothers Day" and has authorized and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. "Now, Therefore, I, Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim December 17, 2012, as Wright Brothers Day."

The contract, which was the largest award by NASA in this round, is to be completed by May 30, 2014. It will begin in January 2013 and will provide a path for a robust relationship between SNC and NASA for the communication of technical interchange, concluding with the delivery of certification documentation to the agency. Craig Gravelle, Space Systems senior director who led the SNC proposal effort commented, "The SNC team is thrilled with the opportunity to work with NASA to certify the Dream Chaser Space System for crewed low Earth orbit flight. This FAR-based contract will leverage SNC's success to date working with the Commercial Crew Program, as well as our partners’ expertise in developing human spaceflight hardware.” “The SNC team is now working with NASA through two Space Act Agreements which rapidly advance Dream Chaser Space System design and development. This contract brings NASA's investment in the program to approximately $350 million and allows SNC and NASA to jointly approve our Dream Chaser crew transportation certification plan. SNC will execute some of the tests and analyses in the plan over the coming months to begin working toward achieving NASA certification of Dream Chaser as this Nation's next human space transportation system. SNC is committed to reestablishing the critical space transportation services lost after Space Shuttle retirement," said John Curry, Space Systems director responsible for systems engineering and integration of the Dream Chaser. The Dream Chaser orbital crew vehicle is on schedule to complete its first free flight test, in conjunction with NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, in early 2013.

And Spaceport America acknowledges that Sir Richard Branson could easily pack up his tent and set up shop elsewhere. Spaceport Executive Director Christine Anderson told the Associated Press that they could move on "if they are not committed," but added that she hopes that the company has plans to stay in New Mexico. Virgin Galactic does have other options, such as facilities in Texas and Florida, which are aggressively courting the commercial space sector. But facilities in those states are re-purposed airports and military bases. Spaceport America was built from the ground up on spec as a place for Virgin Galactic to launch tourists on suborbital flights, and it was expected to become an attraction unto its self, drawing as many as 200,000 tourists a year just to see it, along with high-paying jobs. Virgin has not yet activated its lease at Spaceport America, and its first flight has been pushed back to sometime in 2014. There is a clause in the lease that would cost the company $2 million if breaks the lease and begins operations within two years in another location, but it has not yet paid the deposit to the state. George Whitesides, president and CEO of Virgin Galactic, told the AP that it will activate its lease "when the Spaceport Authority finished the level of the work that it has agreed to provide on our building." He denied reports that the company would look elsewhere if the New Mexico legislature did not pass a liability exemption for suppliers for a third year in a row. New Mexico, as well as other states with space facilities, have passed laws protecting the companies carrying passengers from liability, but New Mexico has not passed a law that would protect those in the supply chain for Virgin Galactic or other commercial space companies from liability, as some other states have. Meanwhile, some in the state say that building the spaceport on the taxpayer's dime was a boondoggle from the start. One resident, a rancher, told the AP that they should convert the "hangar" into something like a concert hall that "would actually generate money."

In the letter, the company said the move was taken as the result of "product liability litigation costs incurred with respect to our former carburetor line and does not reflect upon the viability of the business itself." The company said in the letter that it continues to be financially viable and stable, with a record of on-time product delivery. "It is our desire and expectation to maintain this high standing with our customers-which is why we have voluntarily chosen to take this action," the letter states. Precision Airmotive said it "fully anticipates delivery of product to continue per agreed upon terms." The company said that the filing will allow it to "restructure and emerge as an even stronger and healthier organization," and that the move is "in the best interest of both Precision Airmotive and our valued partners." On its website, the company says it is the Original Equipment Manager (OEM) of RSA Fuel Injection Systems. "Because we are the only manufacturer of this time-proven fuel control, engine manufacturers around the world rely on our expertise and engineering excellence to design systems for new generations of aircraft. Precision's engineers have updated the existing RSA Fuel Injection System and supply these systems for installation on new Cessna Aircraft currently in production."

The airplane touched down at Baghdad International Airport and was welcomed with a traditional water cannon salute. The ceremony was attended by senior government leaders, including His Excellency Hadi al-Ameri, Iraqi Minister for Transportation, and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Steve Beecroft. “We are rebuilding our country’s aviation sector and the purchase of the Boeing 777-200LR will help us begin developing the long-haul market,” said al-Ameri. “This airplane has the proven capability of connecting virtually any two cities in the world non-stop, in addition to carrying a full cargo payload. With its unparalleled efficiencies, the 777-200LR will be a strategic addition to the fleet.” The Republic of Iraq also has 30 Next-Generation 737s on order, the first of which are scheduled for delivery in mid-2013, as well as 10 787 Dreamliners. “We are proud to be part of the new beginnings of the Iraqi aviation sector and appreciate the trust that the Republic of Iraq has placed in Boeing products,” said Marty Bentrott, vice president of Sales, Middle East, Russia, and Central Asia, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “We look forward to growing and strengthening our partnership with the Republic of Iraq.” (Image provided by Boeing) FMI: www.boeing.com For the WHOLE story, go to http://www.aero-news.net/news/commair.cfm?ContentBlockID=8313f1c6-2097-44f6-be90-156863707865 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Brazil Plans Massive Airport Construction Program At Least 800 Regional Airports On The Drawing Board In The South American Country Saying the continent-sized country needs more than railroads, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff indicated Wednesday that her nation would embark on an ambitious program to build at least 800 regional airports, bringing service within 40 miles of any city with at least 100,000 residents. Speaking in Paris, Rousseff said that the country "needs more than railways. Some people in Brazil can travel only by air." She also said that the airports are "a necessity for the country's growth." The French News Service AFP reports that Brazil has privatized Sao Paulo's Gharulhos and two other airports ahead of the 2014 World Cup, which will be held in several cities around the country. The Rousseff administration auctioned the rights to operate the airports, raising some $14 billion to upgrade already-congested terminals. Roberto Kriete, the president of the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association, said recently that there would be problems during the major sporting event if "things don't improve." Statistics indicate that commercial air transportation has grown over 120 percent over the past decade, with more than 30 million people traveling by air for the first time during that period.

The delivery was celebrated in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. The aircraft will join Air Astana’s fleet, which already includes 10 A320 Family aircraft, operated on the airline’s domestic and international network. The airline’s A321, powered by IAE V2500 engines, features a two class cabin layout, seating 28 passengers in business class and 151 in economy. Air Astana started commercial service with its first Airbus aircraft, an A320, in 2006, and is currently operating one A319, seven A320s and two A321s. “The arrival of the first owned Airbus A321s at Air Astana is not only a major event for the airline, but also for the government of Kazakhstan. Having launched the airline with minimal capital in 2002, we are pleased to have built up sufficient financial strength to the point where we are now taking delivery of a new fleet of substantial value. Air Astana has entered an important new phase of its development,” said Peter Foster, President of Air Astana. “We congratulate Air Astana on their first delivery of directly ordered Airbus aircraft. We are confident that the market leading A320 Family will strongly contribute to Air Astana’s growth”, says John Leahy Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers. To date, more than 8,800 Airbus A320 Family aircraft have been sold and more than 5,300 delivered to 380 customers and operators worldwide.

The USAF will field new technology developed by the Australian company Locata to provide them with extremely accurate "reference truth" positioning across a vast area of White Sands when GPS is being completely jammed. In a recent USAF technical report the need for a new non-GPS based positioning capability was described by the 746th Test Squadron (746TS) as the key component for "the realization of the new 'gold standard truth system' for the increasingly demanding test and evaluation of future navigation systems for the U.S. Department of Defense." Locata is the new technology now contracted to enable this "gold standard capability" for the USAF's future truth reference, the Ultra High-Accuracy Reference System (UHARS). The report documented extensive testing of Locata's new capabilities when a LocataNet covering 1,350 square miles was first deployed at White Sands. The USAF and 746TS proved a LocataNet can accurately position USAF aircraft over a large area when GPS is "denied." In fact, Locata delivered superbly accurate independent positioning which was as good as, or better than, the USAF's current CIGTF Reference System (CRS). The CRS is arguably the most accurate reference system available for flight and ground testing today. It's an extremely sophisticated hi-tech system, combining a differential dual-frequency GPS solution and a high accuracy inertial measurement unit with integrated gravity deflection of vertical corrections. The CRS is the system which has provided reference in support of a plethora of high-accuracy navigation tests for the USAF over the last decade. The Locata non-GPS based positioning capability is core to the UHARS which will now replace the CRS in 2014. "Locata delivered a LocataNet for use in our October 2011 technical demonstration on White Sands Missile Range that provided time and position truth, independent of GPS, that was better than 6 inches per axis while flying at 15,000 and 20,000 feet above mean sea level profiles," said Christopher Morin, Technical Director for the 746TS. "The solutions provided by the LocataNet were within the accuracy tolerance of the squadron's CIGTF Reference System and met our threshold objectives. Further analysis has shown that if we optimize the LocataNet deployment, characterize its errors and tightly couple its range and carrier-phase measurements with the other GPS and inertial components on the UHARS pallet into the UHARS solution post-processing software, I am confident we will be able to meet our 5 cm (2 inch) per axis truth reference objective. I am very pleased with the LocataNet's demonstrated ability to produce an accurate, dynamic truth reference from the relatively static implementation they had already deployed in the mining industry." "Locata products developed and sold by important commercial partners like Hexagon and Leica Geosystems have already shown our new technology is a game-changer for positioning over industrial-sized areas," said Nunzio Gambale, CEO and co-founder of Locata. "However, proving Locata can provide the USAF with cm-accurate non-GPS positioning over a vast military area when GPS is jammed instantly elevates our technology achievements into a completely new league. It's important to grasp the scale of what we've done here. The 2,500 square mile LocataNet at White Sands will be 74 times the size of Manhattan Island. It must be clear, our ability to deliver cm-level (inch-level) positioning over an area that large, without using GPS satellites, is both unique and totally revolutionary! No-one else on earth can do this. Many valuable industrial and consumer apps will now be built around our amazing inventions, created by Locata's co-founder David Small and our brilliant engineers." "This contract makes it clear you are witnessing the arrival of one of the most important technology developments for the future of the entire positioning industry," added Gambale. Under this new contract, Locata will provide the USAF with Locata Receivers and LocataLite transmitters to blanket 2,500 square miles of the White Sands Range. Locata will also: 1) Deliver extended hardware warranty, along with ongoing Locata software and firmware upgrades, through to the year 2025. 2) Supply multi-year support for the installation, fielding and testing of Locata networks. 3) Provide long-term consultation and expert technical advice to ensure optimal operational performance of the USAF's fielded LocataNet systems. Prof. Chris Rizos, Head of the UNSW School of Surveying and Geospatial Engineering and Chair of the Working Group that developed the Australian Strategic Plan for Global Navigation Satellite Systems said the demand for an accurate, reliable and repeatable positioning capability in all environments and at all times grows stronger daily. "However," he said, "it is clear that satellite-based systems alone cannot meet positioning expectations for future applications in machine automation, robotics, mining, heavily wooded or rugged terrain, urban and indoor environments, as well as where there is intentional (or unintentional) GPS interference such as at White Sands. It is becoming critically important for the world to have a real, locally controlled 'GPS back-up' that addresses obvious GPS vulnerabilities. Locata must now be factored into any analysis of a viable alternative, or future augmentation, to GPS."

A demonstrator engine, part of a program that will deliver an upgraded 74,000lb thrust version of the Trent 1000, successfully completed a first flight on a Rolls-Royce 747-200 flying test bed (pictured) at Tuscon, AZ. A series of test flights will progressively demonstrate new technologies for the 787-9 engine, including an advanced turbine case cooling system. A second engine, built to the 787-9 certification configuration, successfully completed its 150-hour endurance type test and FAA overtemperature test in Derby, UK. The 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft is due to be delivered to Air New Zealand in 2014. The Trent 1000 powered the Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s entry into service with All Nippon Airways (ANA) in October 2011 and has now completed more than 41,000 flying hours with better than 99.9% engine dispatch reliability.

At the agency's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, engineers conducted the final test-firing of the J-2X powerpack assembly, an important component of America's next heavy-lift rocket. The J-2X engine is the first human-rated liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen engine developed in the United States in decades. Designed and built by NASA and industry partner Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne of Canoga Park, CA, the engine will power the upper stage of NASA's 143-ton Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The powerpack is a system of components on top of the engine that feeds propellants to the bell nozzle of the engine to produce thrust. "The determination and focus by teams at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and Stennis on designing and perfecting the J-2X engine helps show the great strides of progress made on the overall program," said SLS Program Manager Todd May. "We are inspired to stay the course and pursue our goal of exploring deep space and traveling farther than ever before." The powerpack was worked out separately from the engine to more thoroughly test its limits. It also can be operated under a wider range of conditions. The tests provide a trove of data to compare with analytical predictions of the performance of several parts in the turbopump and flexible ducts. "These tests at Stennis are similar to doctor-ordered treadmill tests for a person's heart," said Tom Byrd, J-2X engine lead in the SLS Liquid Engines Office at Marshall in Huntsville, Ala. "The engineers who designed and analyze the turbopumps inside the powerpack are like our doctors, using sensors installed in the assembly to monitor the run over a wide range of stressful conditions. We ran the assembly tests this year for far longer than the engine will run during a mission to space, and acquired a lot of valuable information that will help us improve the development of the J-2X engine." The powerpack assembly burned millions of pounds of propellants during a series of 13 tests totaling more than an hour and a half in 2012. The testing team set several records for hot-firing duration at Stennis test stands during the summer. NASA engineers will remove the assembly from the test stand to focus on tests of the fully integrated engine. Installation on a test stand at Stennis will begin in 2013. The SLS will launch NASA's Orion spacecraft and other payloads from the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The program is managed at Marshall.

This ‘E-Nose’, as it is called, will measure the crew’s exposure to bacteria and fungi in the Russian segment of the space station from 2013. E-Nose will detect microbiological hazards from bacterial and fungal cultures using qualitative and quantitative methods. Monitoring is essential as excessive exposure to fungi and bacteria poses a not inconsiderable risk to both the on-board technology and the health of the crew. This specially developed analytical instrument allows cosmonauts to carry out measurements in every location of the ISS Service Module. Also in the luggage will be a ‘target book’ containing various material samples (aluminium, PCB material, cable marking material, and Nomex, a special flame-resistant clothing material which is used to make the suits worn by fire fighters and racing drivers). Biological cultures can colonize these materials. Their presence will be measured by the cosmonauts at two-month intervals. On completion of a measurement cycle lasting about six months, the target book will be sent back to Earth, where the samples will be evaluated by the Moscow-based Institute for Biological and Medical Problems (IBMP) in cooperation with EADS Innovation Works, the corporate research organization of EADS. The measurement system built by Astrium is called an electronic nose because it records specific odour patterns using ten different semiconductor sensors. The system takes advantage of the distinctive properties of the gas molecules emitted by the biological cultures. These molecules are produced by the metabolisms of the biological cultures, and are species-specific. Scientists in the laboratory down on Earth can create specific odour patterns based on the different ways in which individual sensors are stimulated. The data measured on the space station will then be compared against the data from the cultures ‘trained’ on Earth in order to find correlations. The conventional sampling method (swipe sample) with subsequent ‘processing’ in an incubator would require expert knowledge and be very time-consuming in the ISS, whereas the new E-Nose enables a prompt analysis of the situation thanks to its data connection to the ground station. “In the long run, the E-Nose will make an important contribution to ensuring the safety of the crew on board the ISS. This applies both to the entire space station and also to possible long-term missions (e.g. to Mars),” says Astrium project manager Thomas Hummel. There are also potential applications for the E-Nose down on Earth, e.g. on commercial passenger aircraft or submarines. E-Nose is a German Aerospace Center (DLR) project, with Astrium as prime contractor.

The flight was conducted under NAVAIR’s Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) services contract. AAI field services representatives conducted the nearly 10-hour mission and provided real-time full-motion video (FMV) to Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron (VMU) 3. Under ISR services, the Aerosonde 4.7G UAS is a contractor-owned and operated system. The 70-pound air vehicle provides real-time FMV and other sensor capability to Marines deployed in Afghanistan. “ISR services continue to be a very important piece of our kit and allows us to quickly and efficiently fill the demand for our current theaters of operations,” said Col. Jim Rector, program manager for the Navy and Marine Corps Small Tactical UAS (STUAS) Program Office (PMA-263). “Until we field our current expeditionary STUAS Program of Record for this class/group of UAS, the requirement for both land- and ship-based ISR services are going to continue for the Marine Corps.” PMA-263 currently supports the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Special Operations Command with ISR services, Rector said. In June 2012, PMA-263 awarded a land-based task order to AAI under the NAVAIR ISR services contract. Under the contract, AAI provides up to 3,600 hours per month of ISR services and manages all operations and maintenance of the UAS for up to one year, with options to extend. AAI is concurrently supporting training and UAS familiarization exercises at Twentynine Palms, CA, for the Marine Corps.

Qatar received its third airlifter earlier this year. "The C-17's reliability, along with its unique strategic and tactical capabilities, has expanded our reach and ability to support missions worldwide on a moment's notice," said Brig. Gen. Ahmed Al-Malki, head of Qatar's airlift committee. "Doubling our fleet strengthens our ability to support humanitarian, disaster-relief and peacekeeping missions." Qatar’s C-17s earlier this year supported the NATO-led operation in Libya and provided relief for drought victims in Kenya. In early 2010, QEAF C-17s delivered humanitarian aid to Haiti and Chile following devastating earthquakes. "Boeing salutes the Qatar Emiri Air Force and its brave C-17 crews who continue to respond to crises around the world," said Bob Ciesla, Boeing vice president, Airlift and C-17 program manager. "We are proud to be their partner and appreciate their confidence in the world’s most reliable airlifter." Qatar, the first Middle East nation to order the C-17, signed an agreement with Boeing on July 21, 2008, for two advanced airlifters and associated equipment and services, with options for two additional aircraft. Boeing delivered Qatar's first two C-17s in 2009. As a member of the worldwide C-17 "virtual fleet," Qatar’s C-17s are supported through the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III Integrated Sustainment Program, a performance-based logistics program. The GISP arrangement ensures mission readiness by providing all C-17 customers – with varied fleet sizes – access to an extensive support network for worldwide parts availability and economies of scale when purchasing materials. Boeing has delivered 249 C-17s worldwide, including 218 to the U.S. Air Force active duty, Guard and Reserve units.

Airplanes AD NUMBER: 2012-25-02 PRODUCT: Certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2012-25-02 ACTION: Final Rule SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the product listed above. That AD currently requires revising the airworthiness limitations section (AWL) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) of the Canadair Regional Jet Maintenance Requirements Manual (MRM) by incorporating new procedures for repetitive detailed and special detailed inspections for cracking of the aft pressure bulkhead. This new AD requires revising the maintenance program to incorporate a revised task specified in a certain temporary revision, which requires an improved non-destructive inspection procedure; and adds airplanes to the applicability. This AD was prompted by multiple reports of cracks on the forward face of the rear pressure bulkhead (RPB) web. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking in the RPB, which could result in reduced structural integrity and rapid decompression of the airplane. DATES: This AD becomes effective January 16, 2013.
