LIVERMORE, Calif. (KGO) -- A pilot killed in a plane crash Monday night north of Livermore has been identified as 75-year-old Michael Seal, of Pleasanton. The crash occurred around 9 p.m. near the end of Hartford Avenue off North Livermore Avenue in an open field, according to Alameda County fire Battalion Chief Bob Hopken. The pilot of the Piper PA-22 radioed the tower right before the accident to report problems. "Four Charlie, I have a slight control problem. I'm going to circle here to check it out and then head back to the pattern," Seal said. The crash started a two-acre grass fire, which firefighters extinguished, Hopken said. Witnesses posted pictures of the burning wreckage on social media. Authorities say the pilot was killed and was the only one on board. "The reaction if something like this happens is always extremely sad and we question ourselves how can did this happen," Airport General Manager Leander Hauri said. The general manager at the airport said the crash will likely have pilots doing even more thorough pre- flight checks even though he says they are all very safety conscious. The airport is helping in the investigation and is also in mourning. "Filled with our fellow tenants and we're close to 500 tenants in the airport, but long-time tenants, we know each other, I mean this really is extremely sad like a family member was taken from us," Hauri said. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating and are working on gathering evidence. They plan to move the wreckage to a storage facility where they can examine it. Local emergency responders are also lending support. "We've maintained the scene all night with deputies to make sure because this is a crime scene, so you want to make sure that nobody enters into your scene and so now the FAA and NTSB will take over," Alameda County Sherriff's Office spokesperson Sgt. J.D. Nelson said. Federal officials told ABC7 News it could be weeks before they release their official results. http://abc7news.com/news/ntsb-faa-investigating-fatal-livermore-plane-crash/762888/ Back to Top Georgia, France to ink air safety agreement Georgia and France will soon sign an agreement on air safety, said Tinatin Khidasheli, Georgia Defense Minister at the meeting in Brussels. Khidasheli denied media reports on frustration on the deal with France. Earlier Georgian media reported that ex Defense Minister, Irakli Alasania blamed former colleagues, in particular, Georgia Prime Minister, Irakli Garibashvili in deliberately disrupting the signing of an agreement with France on air safety in 2014. Alasania said despite the PM's wishes he signed the memorandum on October 28, 2014 in France, and was supposed to sign the agreement on air safety by late 2014, which, unfortunately, did not happen. Khidasheli highlighted that so-called agreement frustration with France was erroneous and everything that were claimed contradict the reality. "I can only confirm that we will soon sign an agreement," Khidasheli added s. The defense minister will visit Paris in a week within the scope of which will clarify all details of the agreement. Due to an agreement between Georgia and France on air safety, Georgia would possess tactical and operational capabilities. The country could defend itself against attack of planes and all kinds of bombers. Furthermore, foreign aircrafts would not be able to enter its airspace, thus guaranteeing the independence of Georgian air space. http://www.azernews.az/region/82997.html Back to Top Woman killed in Chatham County plane crash remembered as safety advocate Two people were seriously hurt early Tuesday when a small plane crashed while trying to land at Siler City Municipal Airport, according to investigators with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol. SILER CITY, N.C. - A flight instructor who taught safety courses was killed Tuesday morning when the small plane she was in crashed while attempting to land at Siler City Municipal Airport. Barbara Harris Para, 69, and her husband, pilot Frederick Calvin Para, 72, both of Whispering Pines, were attempting to land a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza A-36 for a second time when they crashed into the woods near the runway at about 8 a.m. "On that second attempt, then they turned the aircraft, that is when the engine stalled," North Carolina State Highway Patrol Trooper Chris Knox said. "We do have the info that the engine stalled and they had a loss of power. That is what caused the plane to go into the wooded area." Barbara Para, a certified instructor recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration, is the first member of the Experimental Aircraft Association, based in Carthage, to die in a crash in more than a decade, said Roland Gilliam, organization president. Barbara Para was part of several aviation groups, including one group for elite female pilots, Gilliam said. "When they crashed, Fred called one of our members and talked to him and said they had crashed," Gilliam said. "From that conversation, it looked like they were both going to be okay." The Paras, who Gilliam described as experienced pilots, were conscious and alert after the crash, authorities said. The couple was taken to UNC Hospitals, where Barbara Para died. Frederick Para was listed in stable condition Tuesday evening. The airport, which is a few miles southwest of Siler City, contains a 5,000-foot runway and full-length taxiways. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash. http://www.wral.com/wife-dead-husband-injured-in-chatham-county-plane-crash/14684526/ Back to Top Air Force Fighter Jet Crashes in Odisha, Pilots Injured (India) Two Indian Air Force pilots were injured today after an advanced jet trainer aircraft crashed in a paddy field at Kudarsahi in Mayurbhanj district. The pilots ejected themselves out of the aircraft before it crashed, an official said. One of the injured pilots has been identified as Sachin, he added. The advanced jet trainer aircraft crashed after flying for about 50 km from the Kalaikunda Air Base on a routine sortie, Air Force officials said. The reason behind the crash is not known yet and a Court of Inquiry has been ordered by the Air Force, they said. Odisha police chief Sanjeev Marik said, "We have got information that one aircraft crashed in a paddy field in a village under Bisoi Police Station area." Asit Panigrahi, Inspector General (DIG), northern range, said, "The accident took place between 1.20 PM and 1.30 PM." He said the fire on the aircraft has been contained. Additional District Magistrate Surath Mullick said two pilots had been traced to a place about two to three km away from the accident site. Both were found injured. Both the pilots have been admitted to the district Sadar hospital, he said. A chopper from the Kalaikunda airbase has reached the accident spot, an official said. Earlier on May 8, a MiG-27 had crashed near Alipurduar town in West Bengal following a technical problem. http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/air-force-fighter-jet-crashes-in-odishas-mayurbhanj-district-pilots-eject- safely-768339 ***************** Date: 03-JUN-2015 Time: Type: BAe Hawk Mk 132 Owner/operator: Indian Air Force (IAF) Registration: A3492 C/n / msn: 0913/HT013 Fatalities: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 2 Other fatalities: 0 Airplane damage: Unknown Location: E India, Mayurbhanj district, Odisha - India Phase: Unknown Nature: Military Departure airport: Destination airport: Narrative: Crashed, pilot(s) ejected. www.aviation-safety.net Back to Top Swearingen Metro II Accident (Mexico) Status: Preliminary Date: Tuesday 2 June 2015 Time: ca 14:35 Type: Swearingen SA226-TC Metro II Operator: Aeronaves TSM Registration: XA-UKP C/n / msn: TC-376 First flight: 1980 Crew: Fatalities: 2 / Occupants: 2 Passengers: Fatalities: 3 / Occupants: 3 Total: Fatalities: 5 / Occupants: 5 Airplane damage: Destroyed Airplane fate: Written off (damaged beyond repair) Location: near Querétaro Airport (QRO) ( Mexico) Phase: Unknown (UNK) Nature: Test Departure airport: Querétaro Airport (QRO/MMQT), Mexico Destination airport: Querétaro Airport (QRO/MMQT), Mexico Narrative: A Swearingen SA226-TC Metro II turboprop aircraft was destroyed when it burst into flames after impacting the side of a highway, shortly after takeoff from Querétaro Airport (QRO), Mexico.

Hypersonic is more than just breaking the sound barrier. Hypersonic speeds are classified as Mach 5 through Mach 10, which is approximately five to ten times faster than the speed of sound. Hypersonic aircraft are so fast that a traditionally five-hour flight from Los Angeles to NYC would be cut down to, roughly, 30 minutes. These hypersonic flights are for unmanned aircraft and weapons, only. To reach these speeds, the acceleration is too much for humans to withstand. "What they are trying to do now is build the whole system so that it is not just about the engine. You have to have materials that can operate at the kind of temperatures you have when you are going at hypersonic speeds. You have to have guidance systems that will function when you are going at those types of speeds. There are a bunch of technological challenges that have to be addressed to make a functioning system that will work." After initial development costs, hypersonic air vehicles could be far less expensive to manufacture than traditional jets which feature turbine engines because the hypersonic engines have fewer parts. The Air Force and DARPA are aiming to have a new hypersonic aircraft created by 2023. The US Air Force's previous hypersonic jet broke the world record for the longest hypersonic flight. You can take a look at the actual flight and take off from the wing of another plane, here. http://www.slashgear.com/u-s-air-force-to-develop-new-hypersonic-jet-02386437/ Back to Top NetJets Names New CEO in Midst of Labor Dispute With Pilots Berkshire Hathaway's NetJets unit rehired two longtime executives to lead the company in the midst of an ongoing contract dispute with its pilots union. NetJets, which sells partial ownership interests in business jets, said Monday Jordan Hansell is stepping down as chairman and CEO. A group of NetJets pilots protested outside Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting in May because they object to the concessions NetJets has been seeking since 2013 in contract talks. Previously, Berkshire's CEO Warren Buffett had praised Hansell's cost-cutting leadership of NetJets since 2011. Buffett didn't immediately respond Monday to questions about the changes. Hansell had been NetJets' general counsel before he took over the top job at the firm in the wake of David Sokol's sudden resignation in 2011. Sokol had been one of Buffett's top executives before questions were raised about him buying stock in a company Berkshire later acquired. Hansell continued the tight cost controls Sokol established at NetJets because the demand for private jets fell during the recession. Hansell also helped NetJets gain access to the Chinese market. "NetJets is very well positioned for future success and to grab hold of the opportunities before it," Hansell said in a statement that didn't address his plans. The NetJets pilots union said the benefit cuts the company is demanding from it 2,700 pilots are unwarranted because NetJets is more profitable now that the economy has improved. The union and NetJets are meeting with a federal mediator to try and resolve the dispute. Union President Pedro Leroux said he's optimistic about the change, but it won't be clear immediately whether NetJets' position on contracts will shift. "I think it's a good change for NetJets and the employee groups," Leroux said. The union has had good relationships with both of the new leaders in the past, and Leroux said he appreciates their background in operations. Berkshire said NetJets contributed to a nearly 10 percent jump in revenue from its service businesses last year, but it didn't break out NetJets results in detail. Berkshire said NetJets' earnings improved in 2014 because revenue grew and it had lower restructuring, aircraft impairment and finance charges. Buffett said at Berkshire's annual meeting that he's confident NetJets will eventually reach a contract agreement with its pilots. Buffett said NetJets pilots' compensation is competitive and plenty of pilots from other companies want to join the company. NetJets said Adam Johnson will become chairman and chief executive of the Columbus, Ohio, firm. Bill Noe will be president and chief operating officer. Both men are longtime NetJets executives who had left the company this spring to pursue other opportunities. "NetJets has been my passion for nearly two decades," said Johnson, who worked in marketing and operations at NetJets from 1996 until April. "I am truly humbled - and excited - about the opportunity to lead this extraordinary company and its people and to contribute to its success." Noe came to work at NetJets as a pilot in 1993 and worked his way up to chief operating officer. Noe said he's looking forward to being able to influence every aspet of the company in his new role. NetJets is one of more than 80 companies Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire Hathaway owns. NetJets has a global fleet of more than 700 aircraft and nearly 6,400 employees. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/netjets-names-ceo-midst-labor-dispute-pilots-31443227 Back to Top Iberia to hire 120 new pilots Iberia has announced that in coming weeks it will begin hiring to fill 120 pilot positions, after 11 years without accepting applications. The new pilots will join Iberia over the next two years, starting this summer, according to a company statement. "Agreements between Iberia and the pilots union SEPLA signed in February 2014 brought improvements in cockpit costs and productivity, while changing entry-level conditions for new pilots, aligning them with those of other airlines. New pilots will replace those retiring, and enable the company to meet current and future needs," Iberia said. The additional cockpit staff will also allow Iberia to promote 100 senior co-pilots to captain within a year, it said in a statement. Iberia's chairman and CEO Luis Gallego said "The hiring of new pilots is a another milestone for the new Iberia, in keeping with all the good news of recent months, such as our new routes, new aircraft, leadership in flight punctuality, and the operating profit following six years of losses. This all stemmed from the agreements with employee unions, and our Future Plan, which involves all company areas." http://atwonline.com/labor/iberia-hire-120-new-pilots Back to Top Air India shelves plan to acquire Boeing 787-9 aircraft National carrier Air India has shelved its plan to acquire five Boeing 787-9, the higher range variant of Boeing Dreamliner (787-800) aircraft, after failing to secure the nod of its Board and would stick to the original model. Air India currently has 20 Dreamliners in its fleet. The carrier had signed a deal with the American aircraft maker Boeing Co in 2005 to acquire 68 planes, of which 27 are the Boeing 787-800s. The rest 41 are Boeing 777s (23) and 737-800 (18). Of the remaining seven planes, which are to be delivered to the Air India by mid-2016, the carrier had late last year proposed to replace five of them with Boeing 787-9. "Air India had put across its proposal to acquire five Boeing 787-9 in lieu of Boeing 787-800s to its Board recently. But the board did not accept it (the proposal)," an official source said. The airline was looking at inducting the higher range variant of the aircraft, which has more seating capacity than the existing model for its ultra long-haul routes such as the US and Canada. The Boeing 787-800 has 256 seats, of which 18 are in business class and remaining 238 in economy class. Currently, these aircraft caters to Air India's European and some Asian routes besides servicing some domestic destinations. Government had early last month said that Air India was evaluating switching its order for Dreamliner aircraft from Boeing 787-8 to the larger version 787-9. Model substitution rights are available for Air India under the purchase agreement for the B787-8 aircraft signed by it with Boeing. The national carrier has set up a committee, comprising representatives from finance, commercial, engineering and strategy & planning departments, to evaluate the option to exercise the model substitution rights, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Mahesh Sharma had said. Boeing had provided four interior layout options for the B787-9 in two class (executive + economy) configuration, Sharma had said. http://www.thehindu.com/business/Industry/air-india-shelves-plan-to-acquire-boeing-7879- aircraft/article7278603.ece Back to Top Aircraft Order From Air China Affiliate Boeing Co. won a commitment from an Air China Ltd. affiliate for single-aisle jets valued at $4.3 billion as domestic regional carriers expand their fleet to meet rising travel demand. Shenzhen Airlines signed a purchase agreement for 46 737 models, Beijing-based Air China said Wednesday in a filing to the Shanghai stock exchange, without giving more details. The price of a jet in the 737 family ranges from $78.3 million to $113.3 million, according to list prices on Boeing's website. Buyers usually get a discount from the manufacturer when ordering in bulk. Shenzhen Air, based in the southern Chinese city that borders Hong Kong, will take delivery of the planes over five years starting in 2016. The new order will help the carrier increase capacity by 6 percent from 2014, said Air China, the country's biggest carrier by market value. The airline will pay for the purchase in cash installments, Air China said in the statement. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-06-03/boeing-wins-4-3-billion-aircraft-order-from-air- china-affiliate Back to Top Commercially derived carbon braking systems enhance airplane efficiency What does it take to safely stop a 150,000-pound aircraft in its tracks? While this is a complex process, the main answer is the brakes. Traditional steel brakes have played this essential role in bringing speeding aircraft to a halt for more than 75 years, but today, innovative, long-lasting and lightweight carbon brakes are triggering radical improvements in aircraft braking efficiency. UTC Aerospace Systems engineers have developed carbon brakes with fewer parts and a lifespan that is many times longer than steel brakes, enabling aircraft to fly longer and more often, with long-term cost savings for both commercial airlines and military fleets. And, since most aircraft carbon braking systems were first deployed on civil commercial aircraft, the military has reaped the benefits of using these systems without having to invest in the up-front development costs. Modern examples include the carbon brakes for the F-16, which were derived from those in use on the Boeing 747-400, as well as the new C- 130 carbon brakes, which were a derivative of those in use on the Airbus A320 and Boeing 777LR. Rick Pyatt, director of defense and aerospace policy at United Technologies Corporation (UTC) Global Government Relations, and Jeff Atkinson, director of military programs for UTC Aerospace Systems Landing Systems, explained why these carbon brakes make a big difference, and how the military is benefitting from these commercially-derived innovations. Here are four ways carbon brakes work better for military and commercial aircraft: Less downtime Carbon brakes have a much faster cooling rate versus steel brakes, which can require over an hour to cool down. Carbon brakes also "operate better at higher temperatures than steel brakes," Atkinson said. This innovative technology means aircraft spend less time on the ground cooling their brakes, so planes can turn more quickly for the next flight or mission - a critical requirement for the military. This is especially important for U.S. Central Command military flights operating in high-temperature regions like the Persian Gulf where crews must land, refuel, rearm and fly again. Lighter weight = less fuel burn = savings, and enhanced operational flexibility "On big airplanes, if you take steel brakes off the plane and use carbon brakes, you can reduce the aircraft weight by 2,000 pounds, saving thousands of dollars in fuel costs annually," said Pyatt, who is a former Air Force pilot and commercial airline Captain. This grows to millions of dollars when aggregated across a fleet of aircraft. Equally important, carbon brakes enhance operational flexibility, allowing pilots the option to carry more fuel, more cargo, or more people per mission. As an example, on long range flights, Pyatt said "the ability to carry more fuel provides an important operational advantage; giving pilots the opportunity to re-route around bad weather, hold while destination weather improves, have enough fuel to make another approach to the runway when the weather is really bad or divert to a suitable alternate airfield." This provides additional cost savings, according to Pyatt. "There are costs associated with not completing a flight or mission as planned," Pyatt said. "Carbon brakes provide fuel saving up front and dollar savings at the end of the flight because my airplane, its people, and cargo are where they're supposed to be." Less maintenance Carbon braking systems last longer than steel braking systems. "They perform as well on the 2,000th landing as on the first," Atkinson said. Carbon brakes are widely used in U.S. Air Force planes such as the C-130 and C-5 cargo planes, as well as various fighter aircraft like the F-15 and F-16 and are factory- installed in most new aircraft. "Carbon brakes stay on the aircraft longer, reducing taxpayer costs, reducing work for maintainers and the downtime associated with more frequent brake changes," Pyatt said. Shorter braking distance Pilots have reported shorter stopping distances using carbon brakes versus steel brakes. "The stopping advantage of carbon brakes provides an enhanced safety cushion for pilots, especially when they are landing on shorter runways, landing with higher than normal gross weight and when stopping during an aborted takeoff." Benefits of Using Carbon Brakes and Lock Ring Wheels on C-130 Aircraft: Despite these benefits, carbon brakes are not on every airplane. UTC Aerospace Systems hopes to change that. "Carbon brakes developed for the commercial market have brought major benefits to the commercial airlines, and now to the U.S. Air Force. This innovative technology also offers improved braking performance and fuel savings, operational flexibility, lower maintenance costs, and longer brake life for the Army, Navy and Marine Corps too," Atkinson said. http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/brand-connect/wp/enterprise/commercial-airline-carbon-braking- systems-enhance-military-aircraft/ Back to Top Boeing Starts Assembly of 737 Max Jet Jet is scheduled to make its first test flight early next year Keith Leverkuhn, vice president and general manager of Boeing's 737 MAX program, speaks to international aerospace journalists. RENTON, Wash.- Boeing Co. said Tuesday that it has started assembling the first major parts of its first 737 Max jetliner, a key milestone in the upgrade of its best-selling single-aisle jetliner. Keith Leverkuhn, vice president and general manager of the 737 Max program, said wing assembly for the first test aircraft began on May 29, marking "the kick off of the build of the airplane." Investors are closely watching Boeing's progress in building the 737 Max and managing the transition from its predecessor. The single-aisle 737, which has been in continuous production in multiple versions since 1966, is among the largest single contributors to the company's cash flow and earnings. The first Max jet will undergo final assembly on a dedicated line beginning in September when its wings are joined to the fuselage, and is scheduled to make its first test flight early next year and enter service on time with Southwest Airlines Co. in the third quarter of 2017, said Mr. Leverkuhn. The start of assembly in the factory south of Seattle begins a complex transition for Boeing as it simultaneously boosts output of the existing version. Boeing and rival Airbus Group SE are locked in fierce competition to woo buyers with the promise of a minimum changes to the design of their best-selling single-aisle jets but far better operating economics. Boeing said its 737 Max, with new generation CFM International Leap engines, will consume 14% less fuel than today's model. CFM is a joint venture between Safran SA and General Electric Co. Boeing received its first order for the 737 Max in Dec. 2011 and has earned 2,724 firm deals for the updated jet versus the 3,794 for the Airbus A320neo aircraft, as of late May. Airbus secured its first orders for the A320neo, or new engine option, about a year earlier. Single-aisle jets from both manufacturers, which have approximately 125 to 240 seats, are the workhorses of the world's airlines and the backbone of world air travel. Boeing delivered 723 jetliners last year, 485 of which were single-aisle 737s. Monthly output is set to climb from 42 to 47 in 2017 and to 52 in 2018. The battle for orders has squeezed jet prices, said company leaders, and the record orders and production tempo are pushing Boeing to equip its factories with more automation to build even faster while maintaining its profit margins. Boeing in February first brought online new 50-ton robotic machines to drill the upper and lower skins of the 737 wings and fasten them to strengthening stringers. Boeing will slowly transition fully to the automated system in 2016, but is using the new advanced production technology on its 737 Max from the assembly of its first unit. The 22-foot tall machines, which translate down the length of the wing skins, drill 18,000 holes for each set of wing skins per plane that were once drilled by hand and notoriously hard on the body of its machinists. "This is now showing us the future of what this facility is going to become," said Mr. Leverkuhn. Eight machines will drill 36,000 holes each manufacturing day to support building 42 airplanes a month. Boeing will eventually automate 90% of the wing assembly process, up from 70% at present. Barry Lewis, director of 737 wing manufacturing, said the automation won't change the workforce size, which will be stable through 2018 even as it increases production. Boeing said it aims to reduce employee injuries by 50% and reduce defects by 60%. http://www.wsj.com/articles/boeing-starts-assembly-of-737-max-jet-1433262600 Back to Top Upcoming Events: IS-BAO Auditing June 10, 2015 Toluca, Mexico https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?eventid=1710550 Fundamentals of IS-BAO June 15, 2015 CBAA 2015: St. Hubert, Quebec Canada https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?eventid=1659064 IS-BAO Auditing June 16, 2015 CBAA 2015: St. Hubert, Quebec Canada https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?eventid=1659075 Fundamentals of IS-BAH June 15, 2015 St. Hubert, Quebec Canada https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?eventid=1659069 IS-BAH Auditing June 16, 2015 St. Hubert, Quebec Canada https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?eventid=1659079 6th Pan American Aviation Safety Summit June 22-26th Medellin, Colombia http://www.alta.aero/safety/2015/home.php Safety Management Systems Training & Workshop Course offered by ATC Vantage Inc.
