Risk of midair collisions sharply reduced near 2 O'Hare runways, FAA says 2 close calls last year helped spur revised safety measures After two near-collisions of airliners above O'Hare, new air-traffic procedures are being followed to reduce risks involving takeoffs and landings on two nearby runways, the FAA said. The risk of midair collisions at O'Hare International Airport has been significantly reduced as a result of revised air traffic procedures and creation of a "virtual intersection" to better manage two runways where planes land and depart seconds apart, the Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday. The FAA's assurances of improved safety at O'Hare followed the release by the National Transportation Safety Board of an update into investigations of two similar close calls three months apart in 2011 in which pilots escaped midair crashes. Based on the new data, along with radio transmissions and pilot and air traffic controller interviews with NTSB investigators, controller errors appear to be at least partly responsible for the planes flying within several hundred feet of colliding in both incidents, although the safety board has not yet made a final determination. The focus of the investigation is a critical area of O'Hare where planes approaching to land toward the east on Runway 9 Right cross over at low altitude part of another active runway, 32 Left, where planes are on a high-speed takeoff roll toward the northwest. The job of air traffic controllers is to safely sequence landings and takeoffs - allowing an arrival to pass over before clearing a takeoff - and to issue new directions quickly if potential problems develop. It is a fast-paced working environment for pilots and controllers at the nation's second- busiest airport, reflected by the fact that apparently none of the passengers on the planes involved in the near-collisions realized they had encountered a close call, officials said. On May 16, 2011, the pilots of an ExpressJet Airlines plane that was cleared for takeoff on 32 Left suddenly spotted a SkyWest Airlines plane descending toward them, according to the NTSB report. Instead of executing a normal takeoff climb, the ExpressJet crew remained about 100 feet off the ground to let the SkyWest plane pass over. The SkyWest pilots, who were issued a belated "go-around" order by air traffic control to abort their landing, cleared the ExpressJet by only about 275 feet vertically, the safety board said. "What the (expletive) was that?" the ExpressJet pilot radioed to O'Hare tower. "Where do you want (us) to go now?" A controller issued directions, then added, "Sorry about that." In a subsequent interview with the NTSB, according to the report, the controller said he "forgot about the arrival when he issued (ExpressJet) a takeoff clearance." Asked by investigators how O'Hare tower managers could help prevent the near-tragedy from happening to a controller-in-training, the controller responded, "Tell the story." The FAA changes put in place as a result of the incident include issuing an automated warning in O'Hare tower if a plane is near a new "virtual intersection" developed for Runway 32 Left departures and Runway 9 Right arrivals, the FAA said. Such an alert by the already existing Airport Surface Detection Equipment was not issued in either close call at O'Hare because its software was not programmed to detect a hazard just above the runway, the NTSB said. Also, pilots who are landing are now being instructed to cut off their approach and go around the airport if they are within 2.75 miles from the end of 9 Right while another plane is on 32 Left, the FAA said. Pilots on 32 Left are now issued a "line up and wait" order before being issued a takeoff clearance, officials said. The changes will be needed until the O'Hare expansion program is completed, officials said. The 9 Right/32 Left intersection will be eliminated upon the eventual closing of 32 Left under Chicago's plan to reconfigure O'Hare's decades-old crisscrossing runways into a predominantly parallel runway format. A similar near-collision occurred Aug. 8, 2011, on the same O'Hare runways. As his jet approached takeoff speed, the captain of a Trans States Airlines plane acted quickly to keep the plane on the ground and slightly delay takeoff to avoid a collision with a Chautauqua Airlines plane flying overhead to land, according to the safety board investigation. The Chautauqua plane passed 125 feet over and 350 feet in front of the Trans States plane, the safety board said. A warning from a controller was issued, but it might have been too late if the Trans States pilots had not taken evasive action on their own to delay their takeoff, they told NTSB investigators. Some controllers and FAA supervisors interviewed after the incident said an islandlike platform in the middle of the O'Hare tower floor might have obstructed controllers from seeing and coordinating with one another effectively about incoming and outgoing traffic. One controller told the NTSB the platform was like "the elephant in the room." The platform was removed a few months ago, FAA spokesman Tony Molinaro said. Also, controllers working certain jobs in O'Hare's tower are now positioned closer together to improve communication, he said. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-ohare-close-calls-0926- 20120926,0,4196486.story Back to Top DGCA keeping watch over Kingfisher Airlines' financial health (India) MUMBAI: The Director General of Civil Aviation said it is monitoring the financial health of Kingfisher AirlinesBSE 8.65 % along with other procedural lapses that popped up during the safety audit conducted by the regulator recently. "Financial issues at an airline may sometime also become safety issues and we are keeping a watch on Kingfisher as it has some unpaid dues to its pilots," said Arun Mishra, DGCA. The regulator said the audit did not throw up serious safety issues for both Kingfisher and Air India Express, but both these airlines are violating some established procedures. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/transportation/airlines-/- aviation/dgca-keeping-watch-over-kingfisher-airlines-financial-health/articleshow/16550916.cms Back to Top Man charged with leaving gun at Orlando airport ORLANDO, Fla. -- A central Florida man faces charges after authorities say a loaded gun was found in his backpack at Orlando International Airport. Police say 47-year-old Edward Jody Calderon was stopped Sunday morning after a security screener spotted a .22-caliber pistol, which was loaded with six rounds. An additional magazine with 10 rounds was also found in the bag. The Orlando Sentinel reports that Calderon, who has concealed weapon permit, told police he forgot the weapon was in his backpack. He told them he had taken the handgun with him on a recent hunting trip for snakes he might encounter. Calderon was arrested and charged with carrying a firearm in a place prohibited by law, a second- degree misdemeanor. http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/article/275411/4/Man-charged-with-leaving-gun-at-Orlando- airport Back to Top Airbus Tianjin plant delivers 100th A320 aircraft (Xinhua) TIANJIN - The Airbus assembly plant in north China's Tianjin Municipality on Tuesday handed over its 100th A320 aircraft to a Chinese airline operator. The aircraft was delivered to Air China, which had previously taken seven aircraft from the Airbus (Tianjin) Final Assembly Company, since the first delivery in June 2009. The plane, powered by International Aero Engines V2500 engines, is designed with 158 passenger seats. It is scheduled to fly on Wednesday to Shanghai, where it will go into commercial operation on Friday. Nigel Varley, general manager of Tianjin Airbus Delivery Center, called the delivery a "remarkable achievement" for the assembly plant at a hand-over ceremony. "We can feel the fast development and the growing production capacity of the assembly line," said Li Gengsheng, a top official of Air China's Shanghai branch. The A320 assembly line in Tianjin, the only final assembly line outside Europe for Airbus, began operation in September 2008 as a joint venture between Airbus and a Chinese consortium of Tianjin Free Trade Zone and China Aviation Industry Corporation. Back to Top Boeing Deal Set to Improve Indonesia's Aviation Industry Boeing is expanding its presence in Southeast Asia through an alliance with Indonesia. In a sign of improving confidence in Indonesia's airline business, US aircraft manufacturer Boeing announced on Tuesday a new alliance to help boost the country's aviation sector. Boeing and the government announced that they will cooperate on commercial aviation safety and aerospace industry development in Indonesia. This enhanced cooperation will support Indonesia's plans economic development and grow the country's aerospace sector, Boeing said in a statement on Tuesday. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono witnessed the signing of a memorandum of agreement with Boeing at Indonesia Investment Day on Monday at the New York Stock Exchange. In November last year, Jakarta-based Lion Air placed an order for 230 Boeing aircraft at a list price totaling $22.4 billion in a Bali ceremony witnessed by US President Barack Obama. Dudi Sudibyo, a senior editor at Angkasa magazine who has been reporting on the aviation industry for more than 35 years, said the deal would benefit Indonesia, where the sector has been hampered by a lack of skilled labor. "The deal was an offset for Indonesia buying hundreds of Boeing planes," Dudi said. "We deserve this deal because we have helped the US 'creating jobs back home,' to quote Obama." Even with the cooperation, Dudi said, Indonesia's aviation companies would continue to lack the expertise to compete with peers in the region, including carriers Singapore Airlines and Thai Airways International. "We are lacking pilots, engineers, technicians, you name it," Dudi said. "That's because aviation schools here are limited, so we have to send students abroad. It would be good if we could bring trainers here." Indonesian Ambassador to the United States Dino Patti Djalal said the partnership with Boeing marked a strengthening of economic ties with the United States, the world biggest economy. "As Indonesia's economy takes off, we are proud to have a solid partner in Boeing to help accelerate that growth in a safe and efficient manner," Dino said in the Boeing statement. The agreement lays out several areas where Boeing will engage with Indonesia's ministries of transportation and education, Directorate General of Civil Aviation and commercial airlines. Boeing will work with Indonesian airlines, airports and regulatory agencies to support air traffic management initiatives focused on enhancing safety, capacity and efficiency. Boeing said it forecast air travel in Southeast Asia to grow at an average annual rate of 6.5 percent over the next 20 years. Air traffic in the region is expected to grow at a rate of 7.6 percent per year. Boeing has long-standing relationships with Indonesia's commercial airlines. http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/business/boeing-deal-set-to-improve-indonesias-aviation- industry/546532#Scene_1 Back to Top Back to Top Navy To Produce Jet Fuel From Seawater The U.S. Navy is seriously considering an alternative technology that will allow it to produce jet fuel out of seawater. Some drag racers using jet fuel to power their race car may want to consider this alternative ... If it ever becomes widely available! Refueling U.S. Navy vessels, at sea and underway, is a costly endeavor in terms of logistics, time, fiscal constraints and threats to national security and sailors at sea. In fiscal year 2011, the U.S. Navy Military Sea Lift Command, the primary supplier of fuel and oil to the U.S. Navy fleet, delivered nearly 600 million gallons of fuel to Navy vessels underway, operating 15 fleet replenishment oilers around the globe. From Seawater to CO2 Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) are developing a process to extract carbon dioxide (CO2) and produce hydrogen gas (H2) from seawater, subsequently catalytically converting the CO2 and H2 into jet fuel by a gas-to-liquids process. "The potential payoff is the ability to produce JP-5 fuel stock at sea reducing the logistics tail on fuel delivery with no environmental burden and increasing the Navy's energy security and independence," says research chemist, Dr. Heather Willauer. NRL has successfully developed and demonstrated technologies for the recovery of CO2 and the production of H2 from seawater using an electrochemical acidification cell, and the conversion of CO2 and H2 to hydrocarbons (organic compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon) that can be used to produce jet fuel. "The reduction and hydrogenation of CO2 to form hydrocarbons is accomplished using a catalyst that is similar to those used for Fischer-Tropsch reduction and hydrogenation of carbon monoxide," adds Willauer. "By modifying the surface composition of iron catalysts in fixed-bed reactors, NRL has successfully improved CO2 conversion efficiencies up to 60 percent." A Renewable Resource CO2 is an abundant carbon (C) resource in the air and in seawater, with the concentration in the ocean about 140 times greater than in air. Two to three percent of the CO2 in seawater is dissolved CO2 gas in the form of carbonic acid, one percent is carbonate, and the remaining 96 to 97 percent is bound in bicarbonate. If processes are developed to take advantage of the higher weight per volume concentration of CO2 in seawater, coupled with more efficient catalysts for the heterogeneous catalysis of CO2 and H2, a viable sea-based synthetic fuel process can be envisioned. "With such a process, the Navy could avoid the uncertainties inherent in procuring fuel from foreign sources and/or maintaining long supply lines," Willauer said. NRL says it has made significant advances developing carbon capture technologies in the laboratory. In the summer of 2009 a standard commercially available chlorine dioxide cell and an electro- deionization cell were modified to function as electrochemical acidification cells. Using the novel cells both dissolved and bound CO2 were recovered from seawater by re-equilibrating carbonate and bicarbonate to CO2 gas at a seawater pH below 6. In addition to CO2, the cells produced H2 at the cathode as a by-product. These completed studies assessed the effects of the acidification cell configuration, seawater composition, flow rate, and current on seawater pH levels. The data were used to determine the feasibility of this approach for efficiently extracting large quantities of CO2 from seawater. From these feasibility studies NRL successfully scaled-up and integrated the carbon capture technology into an independent skid to process larger volumes of seawater and evaluate the overall system design and efficiencies. Electrochemical Acidification Carbon Capture Skid. The acidification cell was mounted onto a portable skid along with a reverse osmosis unit, power supply, pump, carbon dioxide recovery system, and hydrogen stripper to form a carbon capture system. The major component of the carbon capture skid is a three-chambered electrochemical acidification cell. This cell uses small quantities of electricity to exchange hydrogen ions produced at the anode with sodium ions in the seawater stream. As a result, the seawater is acidified. At the cathode, water is reduced to H2 gas and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is formed. This basic solution may be re- combined with the acidified seawater to return the seawater to its original pH with no additional chemicals. Current and continuing research using this carbon capture skid demonstrates the continuous efficient production of H2 and the recovery of up to 92 percent of CO2 from seawater. Located at NRL's Center for Corrosion Science Engineering facility in Key West, Fla., (NRLKW) the carbon capture skid has been tested using seawater from the Gulf of Mexico to simulate conditions that will be encountered in an actual open ocean process for capturing CO2 from seawater and producing H2 gas. Currently NRL is working on process optimization and scale-up. Once these are completed, initial studies predict that jet fuel from seawater would cost in the range of $3 to $6 per gallon to produce. How it Works: CO2 + H2 = Jet Fuel NRL has developed a two-step process in the laboratory to convert the CO2 and H2 gathered from the seawater to liquid hydrocarbons. In the first step, an iron-based catalyst has been developed that can achieve CO2 conversion levels up to 60 percent and decrease unwanted methane production from 97 percent to 25 percent in favor of longer-chain unsaturated hydrocarbons (olefins). In the second step these olefins can be oligomerized (a chemical process that converts monomers, molecules of low molecular weight, to a compound of higher molecular weight by a finite degree of polymerization) into a liquid containing hydrocarbon molecules in the carbon C9-C16 range, suitable for conversion to jet fuel by a nickel-supported catalyst reaction. Can we say this is as close to "water-powered" as possible without actually having water in the fuel tank? http://www.hybridcars.com/news/navy-produce-jet-fuel-seawater-52497.html Back to Top Stewart International seeks NextGen system to boost safety, efficiency Federal Aviation Administration Regional Administrator Carmine Gallo, center, briefs the Stewart Airport Commission Tuesday on progress being made in implementing the NextGen air traffic control systems. At left is Michael Torelli, Stewart's business development manager. At right is Paul Quartararo, a member of the commission. In rear is Leo Prusak, FAA's manager of tactical operations for the northeastern U.S. NEW WINDSOR - Stewart International Airport and all others around the nation will be safer, more efficient, better able to handle congestion and more environmentally friendly through saving on fuel. That's the future, and it's beginning to be implemented now, said Carmine Gallo, regional administrator for the Federal Aviation Administration. He described the NextGen Air Transportation System as a "suite of all these technologies coming together," ranging from satellite guidance to digital data communications systems. NextGen is in its early stages of implementation and will bring increasing benefits to air travelers that the agency estimates nationwide to total about $24 billion through 2020. It may cost the federal government as much or more during that time, and airlines face expenses to install equipment and do training. Flight delays in 2009 cost the nation about $2 billion and caused lost income to airlines and others of about $9 billion, he said. Better landing procedures enabled by NextGen save money by streamlining flight paths, including landings. A test in Miami found planes used 50 gallons less in fuel in new landing procedures. Such efficiency also translates to less carbon and pollution, Gallo said. A new control center is being planned for the New York region and Stewart has asked to be considered for it. Gallo said Stewart has a chance. "You're on the list," for research, he said. The decision is a long way off and existing facilities are in the immediate New York City area, including a large center in Ronkonkoma, Suffolk County. A large number of jobs would be at the center, but Gallo declined to give a number. Advocates of keeping the facility on Long Island say they see 900 jobs at stake. "I just want them to come up here and look around and compare it," said James Wright, chairman of the Stewart Airport Commission. Another official at the FAA, Leo Prusak, said Stewart is likely to be a parking lot for many of the planes expected in the region for the 2014 Super Bowl game at MetLife stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The FAA is planning where to park the 800 to 1,000 planes expected, Prusak said. It is likely Stewart will play a key role, he said. "The Super Bowl is going to create a really huge problem for us. It's really parking," Prusak said. "We don't know until two weeks ahead of the game how big our problem will be. It depends on the teams." Most of those planes are private craft owned or chartered by well-heeled sports fans. Meanwhile, passenger traffic at Stewart is down about 4 percent for the year while cargo is up about 11 percent, said a Port Authority official, Michael Torelli, based at Stewart. The July traffic was down 12.2 percent; August was off by 8.7 percent. http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/article/20120926/BUSINESS/309260004/Stewart- International-seeks-NextGen-system-boost-safety- efficiency?odyssey=mod%7Cnewswell%7Ctext%7CPoughkeepsieJournal.com%7Cp Back to Top American Airlines Announces Up to 11,000 Potential Job Cuts KANSAS CITY, Mo. - American Airlines has announced that it has sent potential layoff notices to more than 11,000 employees across the country, including 42 in Kansas City and 164 in St. Louis. The potential layoffs come amid a bankruptcy restructuring plan, which began last November and which the airline hopes will save over $1 billion in labor costs. The notices are for potential layoffs - the airline says that it expects to actually cut only a fraction of those 11,000 workers. The airline says that at KCI, 37 fleet service clerks and crew chiefs are expected to lose their jobs, as well as three airport agents and two plant maintenance workers. Officials with American Airlines say that any cuts will likely be permanent http://fox4kc.com/2012/09/26/american-airlines-announces-up-to-11000-potential-job-cuts/ Back to Top Canada might train F-35 pilots CFB Cold Lake would be ideal location, source says Defence planners are examining a proposition that would see Canada run an advanced multinational training course for the F-35 if the contentious stealth fighter program gets the go-ahead from the Harper government, industry sources say. Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake, a sprawling, isolated air-force facility in northern Alberta, would serve as a training school for pilots already qualified on the aircraft to learn to use the plane's weapons systems. The airfield is already home to an air-to-ground weapons school for the country's current fleet of CF- 18s, but the proposition would see Canada transition to the F-35 and open up instruction to other countries that are part of the program. "So this allows Canada to run a graduate-level training centre, which brings resources into Canada, which brings countries in to fly; that brings revenue and a whole bunch of other things and capabilities that are augmented by these countries who don't have this kind of airspace," said a defence source with knowledge of the scenario. "No plans are finalized yet, but I know (Canada's Department of National Defence) knows what they have. The question is, what are they going to do?" The fact that Cold Lake is situated in the middle of vast plain well inside Canadian airspace makes it attractive to defence planners and industry types who are eager to preserve the multi-role fighter's more secret capabilities, said the source. The Harper government insisted that any talk of a future training facility is speculative. "The government of Canada has not yet purchased a replacement fleet of aircraft for the current CF- 18 fighter jets," said Michelle Bakos, communications director for Public Works Minister Rona Ambrose. "As a result, no arrangements for pilot training for the replacement fleet have been finalized. It would be pre-mature to discuss any possible training for potential replacements."

The airport, which is east of Denver, is considered the ideal location for a spaceport. Spaceport Colorado reached a crucial milestone Tuesday when Colorado U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall announced the Federal Aviation Administration's approval of a $200,000 grant to fund the site's feasibility study. " This is what we've called the domino that needs to fall," said Dennis Heap, executive director of aviation at Front Range Airport, the proposed site for the spaceport facility. Colorado, California and Hawaii received funding from the FAA's new Space Transportation Infrastructure Matching Grants, which totaled $500,000. The feasibility study is the first step in the licensing process. It will determine all of the logistics for operating a commercial spaceport, such as the requirements for the operating vehicles, storage, launching and landing, and other operational details. "It does two things: It will start the process," Heap said. "And it shows that the FAA believes Spaceport Colorado could be a viable entity." There are eight licensed spaceports around the U.S., but Spaceport Colorado would be the first to offer horizontal launch. Proponents say the spaceport could offer space tourism, unmanned spacecraft facilities and global point-to-point travel. "We see Spaceport Colorado as a key driver for bringing a wide array of spaceflight-related business to our state, including spacecraft development and manufacturing, advanced scientific research, and crew training," said Tom Clark, chief executive of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. in a news release. The federal matching grants provide up to 50 percent of the total project cost. Private sponsors, along with state and local governments, must provide the remaining funds. The federal matching grants require that at least 10 percent of the total project is funded by private donors. "These investments will help us continue to develop a safe and robust commercial space industry in the United States," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in a statement. Front Range Airport - which is 6 miles east of Denver but remote enough to foster future growth - is considered the ideal location for a spaceport. "Having a spaceport in Denver will make Colorado a leader in space travel and solidify our reputation as a pioneer in the 21st century innovation economy," said Bennet in a news release. "It will bring jobs to our state and fuel economic development and scientific research." The next steps for Heap and his team include more fundraising from public and private sources, conducting an environmental study and submitting the licensing application to the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation. "By the end of next year," Heap said, "we will hopefully be in the position to have a spaceport license."
