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: 11.29.12 Edition: Aero-TV: It's ALL About Attitude -- Lee Lauderback Explains 'UAT' Aggressive New Unusual Attitude Training Program Targets Commercial Pilots Its not easy flying in the NAS... and its only gotten more complicated over the years -- especially if you are a busy commercial pilot. But Lee Lauderback's Stallion 51 operation believes that they can ease the life of today's commercial pilots... and keep them from harm when one of the most disabling emergency scenarios goes from being postulated to being real... Just a few days ago, Stallion 51 announced that it will now offer real-time, real-life Unusual Attitude Training in a specially equipped L-39 turbojet. The new program is the next evolution in Stallion 51’s 25-year heritage of offering training in high performance aircraft. “Our new Upset Prevention and Recovery Training Program definitely raises the bar even higher for pilots who fly for a living and under all types of conditions,” said Lee Lauderback, Stallion 51’s president. The former chief pilot for golf legend Arnold Palmer noted that the unique curriculum has been five years in the making. “We now have a comprehensive program that covers all areas of prevention, recognition and recovery from unusual attitudes of flying.” The UAT L-39 is outfitted with a state-of-the-art Electronic Flight Instrument System with the design capability to withstand extreme flight attitudes. The EFIS equipment closely simulates current corporate and executive aircraft cockpit layouts. The UAT L-39 is also equipped with specially-designed onboard cameras that allow for accurate visual and audio debriefs of the training from both inside the cockpit and outside the airplane.

The company conducted a "flawless" first flight Tuesday at its headquarters in Brazil. Embraer test pilots Mozart Louzada and Eduardo Camelier with flight test engineers Gustavo Paixão and Alexandre Figueiredo flew the aircraft for one hour and forty five minutes, performing handling and performance characteristics evaluation. As a result of the extensive simulation use and ground testing, the aircraft was able to cover a significant flight envelope on the maiden flight. Aircraft systems were assessed including landing gear retraction. “The flight was a success, precisely according to plan. In fact, it was flawless,” said Capt. Louzada. "This remarkable airplane symbolizes the future of executive aviation and is the product of the innovation, talent and dedication that is part of the Embraer culture," said Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer President and CEO. “This is the aircraft that will move us from industry player to industry leader,” said Ernest Edwards, President, Embraer Executive Jets. “It is hard to overstate the importance of fly-by-wire technology. Fly-by-wire does for business aviation what GPS has done for navigation. It will empower more precision, efficiency, safety and comfort every time the aircraft flies." The Legacy 500 is a “clean-sheet” design which Embraer says included extensive input from operators and customers. The airplane is the first midsize business jet incorporating a fly-by-wire control system and full six-foot, stand-up cabin with a flat floor. It will be followed by Embraer’s fourth clean-sheet design, the mid-light Legacy 450, which will enter service one year later. “Clean-sheet designs are part of our DNA. They are the reason we can be so responsive to customer needs without compromise,” said Marco Túlio Pellegrini, Senior Vice President Operations & Chief Operating Officer, Embraer Executive Jets. . Embraer’s popular entry-level Phenom 100 and light Phenom 300 are also clean-sheet designs. The Legacy 500 is powered by two advanced, fuel-efficient Honeywell HTF 7500E turbofan engines, each capable of producing 6,540 pounds of thrust. The aircraft features Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics with synthetic vision. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2014.

The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) Prohibition Act of 2011 (S.1956) directs the Secretary of Transportation to prohibit U.S. aircraft operators from participating in the ETS. The law directs the FAA, the DOT, and other appropriate officials to enter into international negotiations, including agreements to pursue a worldwide approach to address aircraft emissions, and to take appropriate measures under existing authorities to ensure U.S. air carriers are held harmless from any ETS unilaterally imposed by the EU. The measure also prohibits the use of FAA, DOT, Aviation Trust Fund or any other appropriated funds from being used to pay any tax or penalty imposed on a U.S. operator pursuant to the ETS. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John L. Mica (R-FL) (pictured, left) and Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Tom Petri (R-WI) (pictured, right) were among the primary sponsors of the bipartisan companion bill in the House of Representatives. In 2011, Mica led a Congressional delegation to the European Union to convey opposition to the EU’s plan. Mica also led a subsequent delegation to Montreal to meet with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) leaders, representatives of the EU, and other officials regarding U.S. opposition to the ETS. The original “European Union Emissions Trading Scheme Prohibition Act of 2011,” authored by Mica, Petri, and other House leaders, overwhelmingly passed the House on October 24, 2011. “After fighting an uphill battle to move the U.S. Senate, which sat on the House bill for the last year, I am pleased that this measure has been signed by the President over suggestions by some environmental groups to veto the bill,” Mica said. “The law signed (Tuesday) is a clear signal that the United States will not accept the EU’s go-it-alone attempt to impose emissions taxes on other nations for activities far outside the EU’s own borders. This European emissions trading scheme is an unlawful infringement upon U.S. sovereignty, and the sovereignty of numerous other nations. “Furthermore, this global emissions tax, on flights that may occur almost entirely outside of the EU’s airspace, lacks true transparency or requirements that taxes collected be spent on emissions reduction,” Mica continued. “In reality, this plan smacks of an attempt to help replenish depleted EU coffers. Although European leaders have temporarily pulled back their tax proposal, the law signed by the President (Tuesday) will help ensure the EU scheme will not resurface next year like a phoenix rising from the ashes. “In order to address the continued reduction of aviation emissions worldwide, the EU, the United States, and other nations should work appropriately within the scope of the International Civil Aviation Organization rather than taking a unilateral and unfair approach,” Mica added. Petri said, “The EU is free to impose taxes within their own borders but cannot and must not be allowed to impose taxes on activities carried out in other sovereign countries. Whoever came up with the crazy idea of taxing airlines for the non-European portion of flights to or from Europe needs to be reminded that the age of European imperialism is a thing of the past. “I’m pleased that the President has signed our bill, and that’s proof positive that we can actually agree on some things around here,” Petri continued. “The U.S. is in discussions about emissions with ICAO, which is the correct forum for an international agreement on the matter.” The airline industry also welcomed the President's move. "With the President's signature (Tuesday), the United States has sent an unequivocal signal to the EU and the world that while the illegal and unilaterally-imposed EU ETS is the wrong way to proceed, there is a steadfast commitment to the right way – a global sectoral approach at the international level," said A4A President and CEO Nicholas E. Calio (pictured). "Working within the framework of the International Civil Aviation Organization, the United States will continue to lead the effort to secure a policy that will meet the twin goals of allowing for industry growth and continuing improvements in fuel efficiency and reduced emissions." Earlier this month, the EU announced that it would suspend enforcement of the ETS. While the airline industry and its customers should view this with cautious optimism, the suspension is only temporary, and action from the U.S. government is still needed. Calio also indicated that, to the extent the EU ultimately withdraws its unilateral scheme on international aviation, there is hope that a legal challenge under Article 84 of the Chicago Convention would not be necessary.

Speaking in a conference call with RBC Capital Markets analysts and investors, 787 program head Larry Loftis said that some of the later models which need to be re-worked ... those that require fewer modifications ... can be rolled off the ramp by the end of next month. But some of the first airplanes that came off the line and need extensive modifications could be in the shop until 2015. The Seattle Times reports that Senior Vice President Pat Shanahan said during the conference call that final assembly is currently divided between three production lines ... two in Everett and one in South Carolina. As production ramps up to 10 airplanes per month, Shanahan said he anticipates 70 percent of the airplanes will be made in the Puget Sound region, while the east coast facility will produce 30 percent. Now, he said, the company is starting to look at cost savings. Loftis said that delivery of major structural components for the -9 version of the Dreamliner are starting to be built. Final assembly on the first 787-9 should begin in the 2nd quarter of next year, and the airplane should fly within a year after assembly begins.

The recommendations urge the FAA to require active fire suppression systems in all cargo containers or compartments of cargo aircraft. They also recommend improving early detection of fires within cargo containers and pallets and urge that cargo containers provide better fire resistance. The NTSB has led or participated in the investigation of three fire-related accidents involving cargo aircraft in the past six years. One involved a UPS aircraft in Philadelphia that was substantially damaged in 2006; another was a UPS flight that crashed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2010; and the third was an Asiana Cargo flight that crashed into the East China Sea off the coast of South Korea in 2011. The Dubai and South Korea investigations are ongoing under the direction of the General Civil Aviation Authority of the United Arab Emirates and the Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board of Korea respectively. “These fires quickly grew out of control, leaving the crew with little time to get the aircraft on the ground,” NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman said in a news release. “Detection, suppression and containment systems can give crews more time and more options. The current approach is not safe enough.” NTSB investigators found that the early stages of a fire burning inside a cargo container are concealed from detection. In later stages, when the fire grows and does become detectable, it rapidly intensifies and burns through the container to become a substantial threat to the aircraft and crew. In the UAE crash, the crew had just two-and-a-half minutes between the fire detection and the onset of aircraft system failures. “I also want to commend the air cargo industry for actively researching and implementing new fire prevention and suppression technologies,” said Hersman, who was briefed this week by UPS on its efforts. FedEx is in the process of installing a fire-suppression system on its long-haul fleet.

The 63,500-square-foot facility, which will generate 200 engineering jobs by the end of 2016, adds to Embraer’s economic impact across the Space Coast and its growing footprint at the airport, which is also home to the company’s final assembly plant and customer center. Those two facilities, a combined 138,000 square feet, represent a capital investment of more than $50 million. “As we continue to create a better business climate, we are also bringing more jobs to Florida,” Governor Scott said. “These 200 new jobs mean more families will be able to bring a paycheck home, and although our work isn’t done, we’ll continue to work to grow jobs so every Florida family can enjoy the American dream.” “Breaking ground on the newest facility at our growing aeronautical cluster in Melbourne is an important milestone for Embraer on its path to becoming a truly global company” said Gary Spulak, president of Embraer Aircraft Holding Inc. “This latest achievement is a testament to the close partnership we have with the state of Florida and economic development authorities on the Space Coast and Melbourne, without which this aviation campus would not have been possible." Space Florida, Enterprise Florida, the EDC and their coalition partners have worked with Embraer since the Brazil-based company considered coming to the Space Coast more than four years ago. “Embraer reflects the type of company that will keep Florida’s aerospace-related economic engine running into the foreseeable future,” said Space Florida President and CEO Frank DiBello. “We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with such a forward-thinking aviation company and help them expand their operations here in Central Florida.” The Embraer Engineering & Technology Center USA will be financed, built, owned and operated by Space Florida for Embraer. The EDC worked closely with Embraer and state and local officials to develop a competitive and comprehensive local incentive package. “The EDC has had a window seat to Embraer’s dynamic growth on the Space Coast, from its first-ever North American assembly operation, which opened in February 2011 at Melbourne International Airport, to the $24 million Engineering and Technology Center we are thrilled to help get under way today,” said Lynda Weatherman, president and CEO of the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast. “We knew when the EDC began working with this company that Embraer had the potential to help reshape the Space Coast economy and spark a post-shuttle resurgence. Clearly that potential has become reality. There is no better place than the Space Coast for engineering and technology, and we look forward to the 200 jobs and numerous innovations Embraer will create at this cutting-edge facility.” Melbourne Mayor Kathy Meehan has enjoyed watching Embraer -- and her city’s relationship with the company -- grow. "Melbourne has been extremely fortunate to be in a position to land and build upon an excellent partnership with Embraer, a world class company,” Meehan said. “The success of this partnership is a testament to the collaboration and business savvy of many here in Brevard County as well as the State of Florida, but most importantly to the efforts and vision of Embraer. We are amazed and awe-struck, and that takes a lot."

All 29 people on board the Embraer E120ER turboprop survived the ditching. USA Today reports that, according to The Aviation Herald, the plane departed Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport near the Comoros capital of Moroni. It was reportedly unable to maintain altitude, and went down in the water about 200 yards off shore. CNN reports that the pilot recognized that there was a problem with the airplane almost immediately after takeoff, and was attempting to return to the airport when he was forced to put the plane in the water. The airplane had 25 passengers and four crew on board, and all were rescued by fishermen who helped them get to shore. One person who had been on board the airplane, described as a "senior military official," told Reuters that he saw fuel leaking from the airplane after takeoff. The pilot attempted to return to the airport after being made aware of the problem. The flight was heading to the nearby Comoros island of Anjouan.

The Washington Post reports that according to a Facebook posting, "The Free Syrian Army has downed an attack helicopter using anti-aircraft weapons in the Sheikh Salman area in the western countryside." The paper reports that the page was created by the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, a rebel umbrella group. In the YouTube video from which the still images shown here are captured, some kind of missile is shown traveling towards and then hitting a helicopter that resembles a Russian-built Mi-8, which would be consistent with aircraft flown by the Syrian military. The blog EA Worldview reports that there is at least some credence to reports that one military helicopter was shot down, and that conflicting claims that it was a missile and machine gun fire could be due to more than one rebel group firing on the same aircraft, and each thinking they had brought the helicopter down. In one of the videos, what look like parachutes can be seen in the vicinity of the aircraft, leading some to believe that the aircrew got out before the helicopter impacted the ground and exploded. The incident occurred outside Aleppo in Syria. The Washington Post indicates that, if confirmed, it could be a significant event because the government forces have effectively used aircraft to suppress rebel activity. The ability to shoot down a helicopter could be a considered a small shift in that dynamic.

A Balance Approach' It's no secret that lawmakers have only a couple of weeks to come up with a solution to the looming "fiscal cliff" that will trigger automatic tax increases and spending cuts at the first of the year. As negotiations continue, Marion C. Blakey, President and CEO of the Aerospace Industries Association, issued a statement urging a balanced approach to getting the nation's fiscal house in order. "On behalf of the aerospace and defense industry, which employs more than one million workers across all 50 states, we are encouraged that there are serious negotiations occurring between the White House and Congressional leadership to avoid our nation's imminent fiscal cliff," Blakey (pictured) said in the statement. "It is imperative that we set aside the looming disaster that sequestration would bring, both to our national security and our economy, and at the same time provide our country with a path to fundamental fiscal reform that provides stability and addresses the drivers of our deficit and our debt." "Last year, significant reductions were made to discretionary spending as part of the Budget Control Act. We urge negotiators to focus on a balanced approach that considers all reasonable solutions and ultimately produces a plan that also includes adequate revenue and entitlement reform. Our country's long-term national security and financial health depend on it."

Boeing, meanwhile, is not letting the charges go unanswered. In one recent ad, Airbus depicts a Boeing aircraft as Pinocchio ... with an elongated nose. The headline: "Why is our competitor stretching the truth?" John Leahy, the head of sales for Airbus, told Reuters that Boeing is "blatantly misrepresenting the truth by orders of magnitude" when it comes to comparing the 737 MAX and 747-8 to the Airbus A320neo and A380. But Mark Birtel, Boeing Commercial Airplanes spokesman, said the company stands by its airplanes and their performance data. "Ultimately, our customers will decide," he said. The advertising comes as both companies are seeing record orders for their single-aisle airplanes over the past couple of years. Airbus took the 2011 round with large orders for its re-engined A320neo, but this year, Boeing has made several multi-billion-dollar deals for the 737MAX. Analysts have indicated that Boeing has once again become the world’s top seller of airliners. Boeing is claiming that the 737MAX will be 8 percent more efficient than the A320neo, and that the existing 737s are 8 percent more efficient than the A320s that are currently flying. Airbus says the re-engined A320 will have a 3.3 percent per-seat edge over the new 737. In its own ads, Boeing says that the total cost of flying 747-8 is 26 percent less than the same trip flown by an A380. Airbus acknowledges that the 747-8 is 10 percent less expensive, but at a 30 percent size advantage, the A380 wins by virtue of additional seats. Meanwhile, this is not the first time Pinocchio has been invoked in the airliner wars. A Boeing executive made the comparison referring to an Airbus exec at the 1994 Farnborough Airshow, according to Flight International.

This first part, a Legacy 500 empennage, is on its way to Embraer headquarters in São José dos Campos, Brazil. "As serial production of the new Legacy 500 aircraft approaches, the completion and shipment of this first empennage from Portugal to Brazil represents a major and important milestone for Embraer and a great achievement by the whole Embraer Compósitos team,” said Paulo Marchioto, President of Embraer Portugal and Board member at Embraer Compósitos. “With close support from Brazil, the team at Embraer Compósitos has demonstrated great skill allowing us, in a very short time since inauguration, to deliver such a sophisticated part.” In full compliance with the requirements set by Embraer headquarters, the empennage is made mainly of carbon fibre parts. It was assembled in a semi-automatic line in one of two Embraer plants in Évora, allowing for higher efficiency in operations like drilling and riveting of primary structures made in composite. “This first delivery from Évora is a landmark in Embraer’s globalization strategy and our activities in Europe, reflecting our commitment to call on local expertise to support us in the development and manufacturing of our products,” added Hélio Bambini, Vice President, Embraer Industrial Operations.

The new AS350 B3e will be based in Fairbanks, Alaska, bringing enhanced capabilities to the agency’s existing helicopter fleet, which also includes an AS350 B3. “When we decided to add another helicopter to our fleet, we knew we needed something with the performance and capacity that would allow us to complete our wide variety of missions,” said Colonel Gary Folger, Alaska Wildlife Troopers. “The AStar’s wide cabin and flat floor gives us plenty of room for mission equipment and cargo, which is important when supporting our troopers and citizens on the ground.” The AS350 B3e is the latest version of the AStar family, one of the most popular, high-tech helicopter platforms in the U.S. Airborne Law Enforcement community. The AStar is known for its performance, reliability and multi-mission flexibility. The B3e brings next-generation performance to the family. The aircraft is powered by a new Turbomeca Arriel 2D engine that delivers a higher cruise speed and is equipped with a new dual-channel FADEC and Engine Data Recorder, which enhance safety and system management. “The AS350 B3e will be a great addition for the Alaska Department of Public Safety,” said Ed Van Winkle, American Eurocopter’s Sales Manager for Airborne Law Enforcement. “It will provide them with a reliable platform to conduct a wide range of law enforcement and utility missions in a challenging operating environment.” The Alaska Department of Public Safety utilizes its helicopters to support operations throughout the State of Alaska, and they supplement a large fleet of fixed-wing aircraft. Since most areas of Alaska are not accessible by roads, the agency’s fleet acts as a force multiplier for troopers on the ground – all with the goal of providing a safe and secure environment for the citizens of the State of Alaska.

These fees are in addition to other charges you paid at the time of ticket purchase, and the coalition says they were entirely concealed from passengers. Two pro-consumer groups, FlyersRights.org and Business Travel Coalition (BTC), along with dozens of corporations and national consumer groups, have joined forces to demand the Department of Transportation (DOT) support restoring true comparison shopping for airline consumers. The coalition has kicked off a 30-day public awareness campaign, demanding transparency in airline ticketing and revealing all hidden fees, with the goal of true air travel comparison shopping. "At a time of slow economic recovery, the flying public is being financially damaged by the airlines' refusal to post the hidden ancillary fees next to the base fares so that flyers can compare apples to apples when comparison shopping for air fares," said Kate Hanni, Director Flyersrights.org. By December 25, FlyersRights and BTC aim to have 25,000 signatures, thereby pressuring the White House to formally review this request and provide a public response. The public is called upon to sign a White House "We the People" petition and join the campaign to urge the Administration to require airlines to enact true comparison shopping for consumers. "It's outrageous," said Hanni, "these are deceptive pricing tactics that the airlines use to give the flyer the illusion of a lower fare. Airlines use hidden ancillary charges as an indirect way to raise fares in a manner which makes it impossible to predict the total price of a ticket." Ms. Hanni continued, "Business travelers who have to account for their travel costs have to aggregate all of their receipts in order to get reimbursed, and it's just impossible for them to handle. The hidden fees can raise the cost of a ticket by up to 40%!"

This activity started with creation of the mission’s payload “stack,” beginning with the installation of Pléiades 1B atop its Fregat upper stage on November 21. Performed inside the Spaceport’s S3B payload processing building, the integration was followed by the “stack’s” completion on November 22 with its encapsulation by the two-piece Soyuz ST payload fairing. In parallel, the Spaceport’s ELS launch site for Soyuz also was busy as the basic three-stage launcher was raised from the tooling used for its integration in the MIK assembly building and placed on a horizontal transporter/erector rail car November 23 for transfer to the launch pad. Soyuz’ rollout from the MIK facility occurred today, enabling the Soyuz to be erected in its vertical position at the pad, where it is now suspended in place by four large support arms. With this step completed, all was ready for the purpose-built 53-meter tall mobile gantry to be moved into position around the launcher, providing a protected environment for tonight’s installation of the Pléiades 1B payload “stack” – which will be hoisted inside the gantry and secured atop the Soyuz. Friday’s nighttime Soyuz launch with Pléiades 1B is to mark Arianespace’s fourth mission for the medium-lift vehicle at the Spaceport since its French Guiana service entry in October 2011 – and the second performed by the company with the Russian-built launcher this year from South America. With a fueled mass of approximately 1 metric ton, the dual-use Pléiades 1B spacecraft will provide very-high-resolution optical imaging coverage for the French and Spanish defense ministries, civil institutions and private users. It will operate from a 430-mile circular orbit, joining the twin Pléiades 1A spacecraft launched by Arianespace last December on Soyuz’ second mission from the Spaceport.

One year after launch and 16 weeks since its dramatic landing on target inside Gale Crater, Curiosity has returned more than 23,000 raw images, driven 1,696 feet and begun helping researchers better understand the area's environmental history. The car-size rover is at a site called "Point Lake" overlooking lower ground to the east, where the rover team intends to find a target for first use of Curiosity's rock-sampling drill. During a two-year prime mission, researchers are using Curiosity's 10 science instruments to assess whether the study area in Gale Crater ever has offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2012-23-08 ACTION: Final Rule SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. That AD currently requires replacing the drain tube assemblies and support clamps on the aft fairing of the engine struts. This new AD requires replacing the drain tube assembly of the left and right engine strut aft fairings with a new one, which includes an integral support clamp made of nickel alloy 625. This AD also adds airplanes to the applicability. This AD was prompted by a report of a broken drain tube assembly on the left engine strut at the clamp support location under the aft fairing compartment, inside the heat shield cavity of the aft fairing. There have also been reports of tube wear at this clamp location on additional airplanes. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the drain tube assemblies and clamps on the aft fairings of the engine struts. Such failure could allow leaked flammable fluids in the drain systems to discharge onto the heat shields of the aft fairings of the engine struts, which could result in an undetected and uncontrollable fire. DATES: This AD is effective December 31, 2012. FMI: AD For the WHOLE story, go to http://www.aero-news.net/news/commair.cfm?ContentBlockID=df5d74ff-862a-43ec-9840-7a6d59a9543a ----------------------------------------------------------------- AD: Airbus Airplanes (A320 Family) AD NUMBER: 2012-23-10 PRODUCT: All Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2012-23-10 ACTION: Final Rule SUMMARY: This AD was prompted by reports of the escape slide of the raft inflation system not deploying when activated due to the rotation of the cable guide in a direction which resulted in jamming of the inflation control cable. This AD requires modifying the affected slide rafts. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent non-deployment of the inflation system of the escape slide raft, which could result in delayed evacuation from the airplane during an emergency, and consequent injury to the passengers. DATES: This AD becomes effective December 31, 2012.
