"We had a passenger becoming violent. No weapons involved. He's restrained by other passengers now, though," the pilot is heard telling air traffic control in a recording. "We don't know his mental health condition. Sounds like he's restrained for now. We just need to get on the ground." The Boeing 737 with 33 passengers and a crew of six returned at about 10:40 p.m. ET, according to airport authorities. United spokesman Luke Punzenberger said in an e-mailed statement that Flight 1074 returned after takeoff when a passenger failed to comply with crew instructions. He said local law enforcement met the aircraft at the gate and detained the passenger. Airport spokeswoman Kimberly Gibbs said the passenger was taken to a local hospital for evaluation. Flight 1074 departed at about around 10:23 p.m. Eastern time. The incident began about 15 minutes into the flight, the airport officials said. One passenger told NBC News that other passengers had to tackle the disruptive flyer after he tried to reach the cockpit and he made claims that he had a bomb. John R. Ford told NBC News that fellow passengers checked the man for explosives and none were found. The passenger also repeatedly apologized, Ford told NBC. Airport officials said there was no impact to airport operations. According to flightaware.com, Flight 1074 left Dulles just before 1 a.m. local time and safely landed in Denver just before 2:30 a.m. local time. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/03/17/united-flight-disturbance/24886535/ Back to Top Jet lost control during takeoff in deadly Yuma mishap A training aircraft that hit a vehicle and killed the Marine inside at an Arizona military air station on Wednesday lost control during takeoff, according a Yuma International Airport official. Gladys Wiggins, the airport's director, said a T-59 Hawk operated by a government contractor lost control during departure around 11:45 a.m., and struck a vehicle occupied by a Marine safety observer. The Marine, who was overseeing a military crew that was setting up equipment near the runway, was taken to Yuma Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead upon arrival. The name of the Marine has not yet been released pending notification of the service member's next of kin. The pilot and passenger inside the T-59 exited the aircraft after it came to a stop, Wiggins said. Pictures of the scene show a burned aircraft with an open, but intact, canopy with seats inside the cockpit. The primary cause of the deadly mishap has not been determined. Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board arrived in Yuma on Wednesday afternoon. They are examining the accident scene and interviewing aviators and others, Wiggins said. "That included records, reviews and inspections of the paperwork for the fuel and the aircraft, and pilot interviews," she said. The FAA did not return phone or email requests for comment. Air Force 1st Lt. Katrina Cheesman, a spokeswoman for Air Force Special Tactics, said the T-59 belongs to Air USA, a contractor that provides close air support for a joint terminal attack control course for service members. Air Force Special Tactics participates in the contract with Air USA. Air USA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company's website states it is "licensed, certified and actively purchases, possesses and releases ordnance, day and night, for the purposes of [military] training." All ordnance-handling and employment procedures are in line with Air Force and/or Navy procedures, the site states. And all Air USA ordnance is handled by current or retired U.S. military ordnancemen. The company's pilots are current or retired military fighter weapons school graduates or combat veterans, according to the site. They fly four different types of jet aircraft, including the MIG-29, the Alpha Jet, and the L-59 Super Albatros, in addition to the T-59. The Marine Corps and Yuma International Airport have shared the airfield since 1956, and military jets operate alongside commercial and private flights. http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/story/military/2015/03/12/trainer-jet-lost-control-during-takeoff-in-yuma-mishap/70240464/ Back to Top Unruly Passenger Taken Off Plane at Miami International Airport A Pennsylvania woman was arrested at Miami International Airport for allegedly being disorderly on a flight and not complying with the flight crew, according to a police report. Karen Halnon, 52, was on an American Airlines flight headed from Managua, Nicaragua to Miami on Saturday. Officials and passengers said Halnon, a Penn State University professor, started ranting about halfway through her two and a half hour flight. "The United States has declared war on Venezuela! The United States has declared war on Venezuela!" the woman repeatedly said, according to iPhone footage shot by a fellow passenger. "Venezuela has been declared an international security threat!" The video also showed the woman lighting up a cigarette and trying to blame another passenger. Reached by phone Monday night, Halnon told NBC 6 she was "protesting U.S. military global domination, U.S. imperialism." Halnon, who described herself as a revolutionary, said she didn't mean any harm and said the cigarette was a joke. "That was more in jest, every good revolutionary smokes," she said. "You have to have a sense of humor when you're in this kind of situation. Blake Goodwin said he was sitting in the aisle seat next to the woman. "That was the first time I was actually nervous for my safety because I was in close proximity to the woman," Goodwin told NBC 6 in a phone interview Monday. "As we were landing she was calling us fascist and capitalist." A flight attendant is later heard telling Halnon she's going to be taken off the plane by police. "So I'm gonna say my piece before I'm arrested," Halnon said, before continuing her rant. Police said when the plane landed and an officer approached her, she was asked to stop yelling but refused. She was asked to exit the plane but replied, "(Expletive) you. This is not a democracy." Halnon reportedly refused to calm down and was escorted off the plane where she was later arrested for disorderly conduct. She was taken to Miami's Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Halnon said she was questioned by the FBI and was mistreated. "They made the room extremely, extremely cold, they chained me to what you might call a bed but it was just a metal, flat thing, and would not allow me to go to the bathroom," she said. Halnon was released and flew back to Philadelphia on Monday without incident. She said it was worth it, and hinted that it may not be the last time she protests. "I would do it again," she said. http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Unruly-Passenger-Taken-Off-Plane-at-Miami-International-Airport-296462071.html Back to Top Ethiopian Airlines pilot found guilty of hijacking his plane (Reuters) - An Ethiopian Airlines pilot has been convicted in absentia of hijacking his own plane and flying it to Geneva, 13 months after he surrendered to police there and sought asylum. The high court in Addis Ababa issued its ruling on Monday and said it would sentence Hailemedhin Abera Tegegn on Friday. If he ever returns to his home country he could face up to 20 years in jail. Hailemedhin, second-in-command on the Feb. 17, 2014 flight to Rome, took control of the aircraft when the main pilot left the cockpit for a toilet break, Swiss police said. He then sent a coded signal announcing he had hijacked his own plane. With the jet on the tarmac, an unarmed Hailemedhin scrambled down an emergency rope and surrendered to police without harming the 193 passengers on board the Boeing aircraft, 139 of them Italians, 11 Americans and four French. Swiss police have said Hailemedhin asked for asylum because he did not feel safe in Ethiopia. Opposition politicians and rights campaigners often accuse the government of stifling dissent, a charge dismissed by the government. Authorities say there have been growing numbers of people from north and east Africa traveling to Europe to flee poverty and conflicts -- though Hailemedhin left behind a well-paid job on the flagship airline in one of Africa's fastest-growing economies. Ethiopian officials said at the time Addis Ababa may ask for his extradition. There were no details on his current whereabouts. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/17/us-ethiopia-hijacking-idUSKBN0MD15P20150317 Back to Top Posting drone videos to YouTube could get you into hot water You might want to think twice before uploading that video footage from your drone to YouTube. The Federal Aviation Administration sent a cease and desist letter postmarked March 9 to Jayson Hanes, a YouTube user who regularly uploads drone videos. The note warned him that he was violating drone regulations by using them for commercial purposes without the proper authorization. Hanes claims that he uses drones purely as a hobby. The FAA argued that Hanes hosting the videos on YouTube made them commercial products. Google frequently pays its users through Google AdSense, for example. "This office has received a complaint regarding your use of an unmanned aerial vehicle (a.k.a. drone) for commercial purposes referencing your video on the web site Youtube.com as evidence," the letter reads. "After a review of your web site, it does appear that the complaint is valid." Hanes told Mashable that "monetization is enabled" on his YouTube account but that he has not accepted any payments from Google. He could face fines and legal action from the FAA. Depending on how you look at it, this could have huge implications on drone policy. Ryan Calo, an assistant law professor at the University of Washington and co-director of the school's Tech Policy Lab, told Mashable said this is an "aggressive interpretation" of what "commercial use" means. If Hanes does accept money from YouTube, then it could constitute as a commercial use If Hanes does accept money from YouTube, then it could constitute as a commercial use, Calo said. "It's not the same thing as telling people they can't publish to YouTube," he said. But if the FAA sent the legal notice to Hanes merely because he uploaded the videos to YouTube, Calo said, it is a potential violation of free speech, as it makes it "functionally impossible" to upload drone videos to the platform without the threat of legal consequence. The FAA claims that it contacts all parties they suspect are illegally using drones for commercial purposes. "Whenever we find out about a suspected commercial operation, we either send them a cease-and-desist order or we may call them," an FAA spokesman told Motherboard. He added that most people have "not been found to be acting in a careless and reckless manner." The FAA proposed long-awaited regulations for commercial drones, which were widely considered reasonable, last month. The new rules are not yet approved laws, but they would mandate that pilots keep drones within their line of sight. Flights would be restricted to daylight hours. Altitude would be limited to 500 feet; speed would be limited to 100 mph. Posting drone videos doesn't automatically mean the FAA will contact you. For one, Hanes was contacted after someone submitted a complaint against him. And, as mentioned, he said "monetization is enabled" on his account, though he has never received a payment. The FAA did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment. http://mashable.com/2015/03/12/drones-youtube-policy/ Back to Top Hong Kong airport gets green light for $18B third runway The Hong Kong government gave final approval Tuesday for a third runway at the Asian financial center's airport, aiming to meet surging growth in passengers and air cargo. Officials said the project will begin next year and cost 141.5 billion Hong Kong dollars ($18.2 billion). About 650 hectares (1,600 acres) of land will be reclaimed from the sea for the runway and a new passenger building. Construction is expected to be completed by 2023. Hong Kong International Airport expects to reach maximum capacity under its current layout by 2022 at the latest. Strong growth in China has been a key driver of Hong Kong airport traffic. Most of the visitors to the specially administered Chinese region come from mainland China, which is one of the fastest growing air travel markets. For the rest of the world, Hong Kong is also a gateway to China. Last year, the airport handled 63.4 million passengers and 4.4 million metric tons of cargo, both records. The airport predicts that the third runway will allow it to handle 102 million passengers and 8.9 million tons of freight a year by 2030. Across Asia, airport operators are scrambling to build new terminals or expand existing ones to keep up with growth in air travel. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/national-business/article14906906.html#storylink=cpy Back to Top Stowaway on Arik Air raises questions on safety of Nigerian airports, airlines Indigenous carrier, Arik Air, risks being sanctioned by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) over the dead stowaway man found in the main wheel of its Airbus A345-500 aircraft over the weekend. It is believed that Arik Air might have flown the dead man on a round trip from Lagos to New York, which is the route where the Airbus A345-500 aircraft was deployed to operate before it was eventually discovered in Lagos that it had started decomposing. The discovery of the decomposing body by Arik Air engineers who were checking the aircraft in preparation for a flight has raised serious questions on the state of safety of Nigerian airlines and airport. It has also forced stakeholders to raise such queries as to what could stop the planting of a bomb in the belly or cargo compartment of a Nigerian aircraft, if a dead man could remain in the main wheel of an Arik Air flight undetected for days. Worried by the negative publicity to the image of the country, it was learnt that NCAA has summoned both the management of Arik Air, and Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to explain what led to the security breaches that allowed the stowaway man inside the aircraft without being spotted. "It is very clear that there were security lapses at the ramp area where the aircraft is usually parked before take-off, which could have allowed the stowaway to sneak in," said Daniel Atam, a passenger who spoke to Daily Sun at the Lagos international airport. "It is either there was collaboration between the man and the airline ground staff, or even those of other security personnel around because that ramp area is usually restricted to some people. But the weightier question is: what if he was a suicide bomber?" he added. The security of the inner ring of the airport, which included the tarmac, airside and the runway, among others, is usually managed by FAAN while the responsibility for the security of the outer ring, which included the ramp area where the aircraft was parked, is in the hands of airlines. There are also suggestions that the stowaway could have gained entrance through the several porous access gates within the airport, thus necessitating the questioning of FAAN security men who usually overlook persons entering the airport through the Shasha area of Lagos and some other areas with collapsed fences. Yakubu Dati, spokesperson for FAAN told journalists that the agency is currently reviewing footages of the CCTV system and airside security operations with a view to identifying the gaps and personnel failure, if any, in order to take remedial actions following the latest stowaway incidence. "FAAN has intensified efforts at improving security and safety at both land and airside through the installation of high tech screening machines, CCTV surveillance cameras and patrol teams," Dati said. "The authority is assuring all travelling passengers of safety of lives and property throughout the nation's airport," he added. Aside the usual space for the aircraft tyres, the undercarriage compartment of the Airbus A345 is usually big enough to accommodate a person. But experts have consistently warned that survival rate is usually rare as the compartment is never pressurised meaning that the absence of oxygen over a long stretch of flight hours could result in the death of the stowaway. And then there is also the high risk of a person being crushed by the wheels. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=109512 Back to Top Back to Top Firm to convert sawdust, pine needles into jet fuel Red Rocks Biofuels of Fort Collins gets financial support to build a $200 million refinery in Oregon. Terry Kulesa can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, but he can make a pretty fair jet fuel out of pine needles and sawdust. And Kulesa's company, Fort Collins-based Red Rocks Biofuels, is a step closer to doing that as it announced Tuesday a partnership with Flagship Ventures to build a $200 million refinery in Oregon. Flagship, based in Cambridge, Mass., is a venture-capital firm managing a $900 million portfolio. "These are the guys who are going to help us get over the finish line," said Kulesa, Red Rocks' CEO and co-founder. In September, Red Rocks received a $70 million federal grant to build the Lakewood, Ore., refinery. Flagship will add capital and investors, Kulesa said. "Their product saves money for customers and offers a stable alternative to the volatile crude oil market, while reducing carbon emissions - a growing priority for companies," Brian Baynes, a Flagship partner, said in a statement. Baynes will become a member of Red Rocks board of directors. The refinery is being located in Oregon because Red Rocks has a long-term agreements with a sawmill, the Collins Co. Red Rocks uses technology from Centennial-based TCG Global to turn the woody material into a gas. It then uses the Fischer-Tropsch process, developed in Germany in 1925, to turn the gas into a liquid. "The designing of the Fischer-Tropsch technology to a biofuels scale was a key innovation," Kulesa said. The refinery will take about 140,000 tons of needles, sawdust and tree branches a year and turn it into 12 million gallons of jet, diesel and naphtha fuel, Kulesa said. Red Rocks signed an agreement in September to provide about 3 million gallons of jet fuel a year to Southwest Airlines. "We've got to do this at competitive prices," Kulesa said. Red Rocks was started three years ago as a spin-off of IR1 Group, a biofuels consulting firm created by Kulesa and other members of a team from Pacific Ethanol Inc. who had come to Colorado to build an ethanol refinery in Windsor. Between biofuels research at Colorado State University in Fort Collins and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado is a good home for a biofuels startup, Kulesa said. http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_27724646/firm-convert-sawdust-pine-needles-into-jet-fuel Back to Top Solar-Powered Mega-Jet Would Accommodate 800 Six hydrogen fuel engines would be necessary to power the zero-emissions Progress Eagle Designer Oscar Viņals recently unveiled his concept designs for Progress Eagle, a futuristic mega-jet for long-haul journeys. As his Behance page explains, his goal for the project was to depict safe, high-performing, and environmentally friendly transport. To achieve this, his design take into account this century's "future advanced technologies," particularly those in the field of quantum mechanics, with "ambits like nanoparticle properties and applications, [and] knowledge [of] subatomic particles." The three-deck plane would accommodate 800 passengers, feature six hydrogen fuel engines (five superconductive ones and a "central screw-type engine" at the rear for thrust), and have wings covered in hexagonal solar panels. Once the Eagle reaches cruising altitude, the rear engine would be turned off and used as wind turbine, which-in combination with energy from the solar panels-would continue powering the plane. The result, Viņals suggests, would be a quiet, zero-emission airliner (even able to offload any excess stored energy upon landing). The Eagle's proposed wingspan measures a mighty 314 feet (with an optional wing-folding feature for snug airports), besting the Airbus A380's 262 feet. And while the Airbus weighs over 300 tons when empty, the Eagle would, Viņals imagines, be constructed from lightweight materials like aluminum, ceramics, titanium, and carbon fiber, contributing to its efficiency. Viņals, who has also envisioned various space vehicles (and one commercial space port), made waves a year ago with his designs for another and not-dissimilar mega- jet. Called the Sky Whale, it boasts self-repairing wings, large passenger windows, room for 755 passengers, and even the capability for vertical take-offs. At the time, MIT aeronautics and astronautics professor Mark Drela commented to the BBC that, when it comes to proposing a viable new plane type, the Sky Whale's eye-catching design doesn't make up for its impracticalities: "The airplane fuselage is a pressure vessel. It really needs a circular cross section for that," he explained. "You don't see scuba diving tanks that are rectangular [...the Sky Whale is] more of a stylistic concept." A number of concept designs for tomorrow's planes have emerged recently, suggesting innovations that are, perhaps, less drastic than Progress Eagle's, and meant for a nearer future. These propose everything from as interactive, wall-covering screens and windowless cockpits to vast private cabins for the most luxurious travelers. It seems likely, in any case, that changes to commercial aircraft are coming at speed, and that, when those next-generation vehicles touch down, we may be unable to recognize them. http://www.psfk.com/2015/03/progress-eagle-solar-powered-mega-jet-oscar-vinals.html Back to Top Turkey seeking to build its own 'regional jet' Turkey's aerospace authorities have silently launched studies into an ambitious program to design, develop and manufacture what will become the country's first indigenous regional jet. Under the plan, scores of jet aircraft will be manufactured for both civilian and military use, officials said. "For years the government has mentally busied itself with the idea to build an indigenous regional jet. With the arrival of... defense procurement chief Ismail Demir [in April 2014], the program has gained remarkable pace." Demir is a notable aviation expert and the former general director of Turkish Airlines' repair and maintenance subsidiary, Turkish Teknik. Under its regional jet program, Turkey wants to use a commercially-available aircraft body as a "base and starting point." One official said Turkey has been in quiet, preliminary talks with Dornier to use either of its D328 or D428 models as the primary body for the Turkish regional jet. The Dornier 328 is a turboprop-powered commuter airliner. It was initially produced by Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH, which in 1996 was acquired by Fairchild Aircraft and renamed Fairchild-Dornier. The Dornier 328 was produced at the company's plant in Germany and sold worldwide from its Texas, United States, offices. Fairchild-Dornier also undertook the Fairchild-Dornier 428JET program to develop a 44-seat regional jet. Aviation industry sources say the licensing rights for the Dornier series of jet aircraft are presently held by a Turkish businessman residing in the United States. In addition to its civilian use, Turkish officials are planning to produce hundreds of regional jets for military missions in both the Navy and the Air Force. These missions could include aerial and naval surveillance, border surveillance and small cargo transport, they said. They said in addition to Dornier aircraft, Ankara would be prepared to assess other models produced by other manufacturers. "The idea is to move the production line of the selected model to Turkey," one official said. "This is an open-ended program with unknown but countless aircraft to be manufactured." http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkey-seeking-to-build-its-own-regional-jet.aspx?pageID=238&nID=79741&NewsCatID=483 Back to Top Intelsat, Phasor to Enable Ku-band Connectivity to Small-Jet Aviation Market Intelsat has signed an agreement to co-design and produce an ultra-thin, active phased array, Ku-band satellite antenna solution with Phasor, a developer of high throughput, modular, electronically steerable antennas. The Ku-band antennas will be developed exclusively for Intelsat and optimized for the Intelsat EpicNG High Throughput Satellite (HTS) platform, the first satellite of which is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2016. This also marks the first cost-effective fuselage-mount Ku-band antenna suitable for installation on civil and government small jets, which represent an underserved segment of the fast-growing aviation broadband market, according to Intelsat. Seventy-five percent of civil small-jet passengers are high-level corporate executives who consider these aircraft "offices in the sky" with a need for broadband service that is as important in the air as it is in the workplace on the ground. When used in conjunction with Intelsat EpicNG Ku-band satellites, Phasor's ultra-thin, fuselage- mount active array antenna is expected to enable broadband speeds to small-jets of more than 15Mbit per second to the aircraft and 5 Mbit per second from the aircraft. http://www.satellitetoday.com/telecom/2015/03/16/intelsat-phasor-to-enable-ku-band-connectivity-to-small-jet-aviation-market/ Back to Top Graduate Research Study/Survey You are receiving this message as a courtesy to Ms. Ulreen Jones, a PhD candidate at Florida Institute of Technology's doctoral program in Aviation Sciences in the College of Aeronautics.
