The strategy also calls for the construction of a new mega-hub airport in Warsaw, which ultimately would have four runways and a capacity to accommodate 100 million passengers per year, or about five times the capacity of Warsaw Chopin airport, the city's main airport. PGL stands as the new umbrella company of LOT Polish Airlines, MRO providers Lotams and LS Technics, and LS Airport Services (LSAS), which offers ground handling services for passenger, private, military, and government aircraft at several airports in the country. The company said it will operate in similar fashion to aviation groups organized around major airlines such as the Lufthansa Group, IAG, and Air France KLM. The establishment of PGL also echoes a reversal of the divestment policy initiated by Poland's national carrier less than a decade ago when it sold LOT Aircraft Maintenance Services, its ground handling services subsidiary LOT Services, and LOT Catering to other state-owned companies to generate cash to remain afloat. Competitors alleged the transactions represented hidden public financial support, but the European Commission in 2012 cleared the sale and said it did not involve illegal state aid. The company stressed the creation of PGL does not mean that Lotams, LS Technics, and LSAS will serve as a benefactors of LOT. "All entities of the group will retain their identity [and] capital separation," it said. The establishment of PGL dates from January, but Poland's Office for the Protection of Competition and Consumer Protection approved PGL's takeover of LOT, Lotams and LSAS and LST only in August. Planned investments include a new MRO facility for Lotams, located in the Rzeszów-Jasionka Port in the southeast part of Poland, to service widebody aircraft such as the Boeing 787, Boeing 777, and Airbus A350. PGL also aims to incorporate a lessor. PGL describes itself as "another step towards consolidation of the CEE market, which is the most fragmented in Europe." Passenger potential of the entire CEE region accounts for 180 million inhabitants. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/air-transport/2018-10-10/poland-completes-formation-lot-umbrella-group Back to Top Announcing Double M Aviation's New ABS Center of Excellence Designation and Maintenance Services in Lakeland, FL LAKELAND, FL, October 11, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Double M Aviation, located at Lakeland Linder International Airport, would like to announce their new aviation maintenance services, and that they are now an American Bonanza Society Center of Excellence and certified to repair, maintain, and inspect all types of general aviation Beechcraft aircraft, including Barons, Bonanzas, Debonairs and Travel Airs.

The 'Unsung Hero of the Year' and 'Engineering Innovation of the Year' awards recognise the company's achievements in the past 12 months, by a panel of aviation industry experts. The Technical Sales and Customer Service team at Etihad Airways Engineering was awarded the 'Unsung Hero of the Year' award which recognised the multi-cultural team for playing a key role in enabling the UAE's vision to become a global aerospace hub. The team actively expanded the company's global client portfolio and revenue opportunities through its strategic vision and business development efforts, increasing its reach to the global market. As a result, the team has been instrumental in attracting an exponential number of tier one airlines including flag carriers from all over the world to Abu Dhabi for aircraft maintenance across a wide range of fleets including the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Abdul Khaliq Saeed, Chief Executive Officer, Etihad Airways Engineering said: "Our entire team has worked tirelessly to deliver innovative operations and excellent service levels that exceed the expectations of our customers and these awards are a testimony to their efforts. "Innovation and customer service are part of our DNA and we are proud to be rewarded by the industry for our commitment to excellence." The 'Engineering Innovation of the Year' award recognised the developments in next-generation inflight wi-fi connectivity that Etihad Airways Engineering is currently pioneering. The high-speed connectivity initiative has been in development for more than two years in partnership with Yahsat, the UAE based satellite operator. The technology features a highly integrated on-board network, consisting of a dual band Ku-Ka antenna and a new generation technology broadband satellite network, and can handle up to 200 Mbps of traffic. This technology is expected to be in operation in 2019 and will provide airlines with the technological ability to offer a true broadband user experience for all passengers on board. Etihad Airways' Technical Training team was Highly Commended in the 'Training Provider of the Year' category for its state-of-the-art training facilities and extensive training programme. In addition, the technical training team runs a UAE National graduate training programme, which boasts a high number of Emirati females, and develops local talent in the field of aviation engineering. Earlier in the year, Etihad Airways Engineering also received the prestigious UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) Aeronnovation award in the 'Improving Aviation Safety' category for its 'Fuel-Drain Doctor™'. The innovative new technology saves up to 80 per cent of the time required for fuel and water draining during aircraft maintenance. Etihad Airways Engineering's state-of-the-art facility is located in Abu Dhabi, adjacent to Abu Dhabi International Airport. Aircraft hangars at the facility cover approximately 66,000 sq metres, including 10,000 sq metres of aircraft painting facilities and a custom-designed hangar that can accommodate up to three Airbus A380 aircraft simultaneously. The company has successfully completed maintenance projects over the years for airlines across the world. https://www.albawaba.com/business/pr/double-win-etihad-airways-engineering-aviation-business-awards-1198328 Back to Top MRO Costs May Differ Substantially For Leased Versus Owned Aircraft Troubles at the end of an aircraft lease often stem from the different perspectives lessors and airlines have toward the leased aircraft. These differences can lead to differences in maintenance spending on aircraft an airline owns, versus the ones it just leases. "It is not easy to quantify the maintenance-cost difference between leased and owned aircraft, but in some cases the difference can be substantial," explains Tiymor Kalimat, manager of aircraft contracts at Jazz Aviation. One reason for difficulty is that leases vary considerably between operators and may vary considerably within an operator for different aircraft. And MRO costs for leased aircraft depend on the specific contract between airline and lessor. Nevertheless, some general considerations apply. In setting maintenance policy for leased aircraft, an airline's main priority is achieving a certain maintenance status of an aircraft toward the end of the lease term. The airline also wants to reduce maintenance costs while complying with regulations. In contrast, lessors aims to control and protect the value of aircraft throughout their lifespans and facilitate transferability of aircraft from one operator to another. "Maintenance is the main element they have to achieve this," Kalimat notes. These conceptual differences can create spending differences between leased and owned aircraft. "Airlines look at leased aircraft as commodities, and their main goals are operations and reducing investment," Kalimat says. "Lessors consider aircraft assets, and their main goal is value and return on their investment." Airlines may take the same attitude as lessors toward their owned aircraft, maximizing asset value, but not toward leased aircraft. To ensure this asset-preservation approach is applied to leased aircraft, lessors need to specify value-preserving maintenance policies in lease contracts. And then both sides, lessor and airline, need to make sure these policies are followed. The Jazz manager says this means setting up an interactive channel of communication between the lessor and the airline's technical division as well as other concerned divisions. "Establishing communication as early as during initial lease negotiations and continuing until aircraft redelivery will ensure that all departments are aware of lessor expectations and what is required to meet lessor goals." This ongoing communication between airline and lessor during lease term is essential to clarify any ambiguities in lease terms and conditions well before the end of the lease term. https://www.mro-network.com/airlines/mro-costs-may-differ-substantially-leased-versus-owned-aircraft Back to Top BIAL encourages women to explore careers in non-traditional aviation roles BENGALURU: The India chapter of Women in Aviation International (WAI) collaborated with the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), which owns the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, to celebrate 'Girls Aviation Day' on Wednesday. The initiative was organised to encourage women to pursue careers in aviation and related industries. Aligning with the government's Skill Indiainitiative, about 40 technical education students from colleges near the airport were invited for a tour to help them understand various roles like traffic controller, airline dispatch, aviation maintenance technician, aeronautical engineer and aviation management. Radha Bhatia, president, WAI India Chapter, said that while India has the largest number of female pilots in the world, other aspects of aviation remain relatively unknown. "Our aim is to offer girls from Karnataka the opportunity to explore exciting career opportunities available to them." Since its inception in 2015, the India chapter of WAI, a nonprofit, has mentored and provided scholarship opportunities to over 1500 young girls to explore careers in aviation-related industries. Apart from presentations and quizzes around the industry, the students participating in the event also interacted with BIAL employees to get better insight into job roles and functions. "We encourage more women to participate in non-traditional aviation roles. With aviation growing at a rapid pace, there will be a need for more well-trained resources in this industry," said Sajit TC, chief human resources officer, BIAL. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/jobs/bial-encourages-women-to-explore-careers-in-non-traditional-aviation-roles/articleshow/66151477.cms Back to Top Dassault Aviation Documents Claim Joint Venture With Reliance 'Mandatory' For Rafale Deal: French Journal Mediapart New Delhi, October 10: In what is likely to turn the Rafale deal row murkier, internal documents of arms manufacturer Dassault Aviation reportedly claim that it was "mandatory" to select Reliance Defence Ltd as the offset partner for inking the pact with the Indian government. The documents, accessed by French investigative journal Mediapart, will act as ammo for the Indian Opposition which has accused the Narendra Modi-led central government of benefitting Anil Ambani's defence firm at the cost of national interest. France 'Did Not Choose Reliance', Only Dassault Can Comment on This, Says Francois Hollande. The report by Mediapart comes days after it quoted former French president Francois Hollande saying that the government he presided over in 2015 had "no other choice" than to accept Reliance as the domestic partner in the deal. Hollande had later clarified over his remarks, claiming that though the French government was told that Reliance will be offset partner, the decision was taken solely by Dassault Aviation. Notably, Reliance was not part of the erstwhile Rafale deal, which was being negotiated during the tenure of Indian government led by Dr Manmohan Singh. Under the then pact, the state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) was to be roped in by Dassault as the maintenance partner. The Modi government, however, has refuted the irregularity and graft allegations pressed by the Opposition, calling it a "baseless propaganda". Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the selection of Reliance was a decision taken by Dassault, with the Indian government "having no say in it". In an interview, Sitharaman further claimed that the HAL was not equipped to handle the Rafale deal -- a claim which the former chief of the public ordnance firm has contested. https://www.latestly.com/india/news/dassault-aviation-documents-say-joint-venture-with-reliance-mandatory-for-rafale-deal-french-journal-mediapart-430444.html Back to Top Operators Warned To Book ADS-B Upgrade Slots or Be Grounded Aircraft owners and operators in the U.S. and Europe are facing crunch time for finding slots for their fleets to be upgraded to ADS-B, which will be required for them to continue to fly in controlled airspace beyond the end of next year in the U.S., or mid-2020 in Europe. Eric Stuck, product manager with Satair (Booth 1441; Satair is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Airbus) told AIN that his experience managing parts for Honeywell-equipped aircraft that are being upgraded has highlighted that an extremely serious situation is developing. This is set against a backdrop of the FAA having mandated the upgrade of all aircraft to ADS-B Out some 10 years ago (under FAR 91.225), so the administration has ruled out pushing the deadline back, said Stuck. It affects operations in all Class A airspace, much of the Class B and C airspace within 30 nm of designated larger airports, but excludes Class F and G airspace, and Class E below 10,000 feet (or above 10,000 feet but below 2,500 feet agl). Stuck's focus is the upgrading of aircraft in the U.S. that have Honeywell's Primus Epic II avionics, and he says these fits are not behind schedule for customers who have acted in time. "I want to highlight the gravity of the situation in the U.S. and Europe with the lack of uptake. There could be 5,000 turbofan aircraft that don't make the mandate. We have the equipment on the shelf now and the capacity but everyone thinks they can do it in 2019." Stuck's bottom line: book a slot by the end of 2018 or you will probably not get one before the mandate kicks in. He pointed to a November study by Duncan Aviation with the FAA that estimated 6,000 turbine aircraft in the U.S. fleet still need to be updated to ADS-B to meet the mandate and it appeared 2,000 would not make the deadline due to maintenance capacity being issues. The study has since been updated and the total revised up to almost 10,000 aircraft, with 5,000 forecast not to be able to find a shop that can perform the upgrade in time. "Unlike RVSM and EGPWS, there is no workaround for ADS-B," said Stuck, who noted that the mandate lead time is far shorter for those programs in terms of the period from mandate issue date to compliance deadline. "Everyone is going to try to get a slot in Q4 and find there are no slots left until 2021," he warned. "It could be 2022 before you can get it done." And adding to the crunch are all GA aircraft that need to use controlled airspace, and aircraft from Latin America and Canada that have to upgrade or won't be able to enter U.S. airspace. "This will only serve to compound the situation." Stuck said that many operators he has spoken to seem unaware of the urgency, and believed it was something they didn't have to worry about until 2020. "This is going to ripple through the aviation industry," he said. To a certain extent maintenance companies are ramping up their capabilities and creating mobile teams, in some cases. However, Stuck believes that they will not be keen to turn away other work from existing customers who are already ADS-B compliant just because there is a line of desperate customers. Stuck also said there is a lack of awareness as to what's involved. An aircraft will need between a week and three weeks in the shop, the cost ranging from $50,000 to $170,000, approximately. "The industry simply doesn't have the capacity to perform all these upgrades in one year," said Stuck. Many operators, he said, are going for a basic avionics "brick" upgrade rather than a full FMS upgrade (costing more than $100,000). "The FMS upgrade is a two- to three-week event in itself," said Stuck. The standard for the ADS-B is DO260B (this is similar to the 260A that was mandated some years ago in Australia, but with WAAS capability added, the equivalent in Europe is EGNOS). Stuck warned that the situation in Europe is "shaping up to resemble [that in] the U.S." with the deadline for any aircraft with a transponder to be upgraded being June 5, 2020. "There will be a third of the fleet that doesn't make the mandate," he warned. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2018-10-10/operators-warned-book-ads-b-upgrade-slots-or-be-grounded Back to Top Leading aviation experts will come together for Helitech's new Technology Showcase Theatre The latest innovations in rotorcraft technology come under the spotlight in a series of dynamic presentations at this year's Helitech International.

According to Duncan, reclaimed engine parts provide value in cost control and extension of aircraft life. Under this agreement and per Honeywell technical data, Duncan can purchase, inspect, recertify, and repair serviceable parts. "It's simple economics," said Duncan Aviation engine services manager James Prater. "Reclaimed engine parts give operators more options to control costs, experience faster turn times, and reduce operating costs to extend the life of their aircraft." Duncan is a Honeywell TFE731 heavy maintenance facility and the two companies have worked in partnership for almost 40 years. The company said all parts are returned to service with an FAA 8130-3 and EASA dual-release tag. Duncan will be exhibiting at Booth 3896 next week during NBAA 2018. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2018-10-09/duncan-and-honeywell-ink-tfe731-engine-pres-agreement Back to Top SpaceX set to Launch its First Crewed Mission in June 2019 According to NASA, the first manned flight to the International Space Station (ISS) using a SpaceX rocket is planned for June 2019. What it means is that for the first time since 2011, when the space shuttle program came to an end, a crewed mission will be launched from the territory of the U.S. At the moment, the only way for the American astronauts to get to the ISS is to travel to Kazakhstan in order to get on board of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. NASA has also announced that Boeing spacecraft's launch will follow soon after, in August 2019. The launch dates could still be postponed Considering the fact that the expected dates of both launches have been changed on few occasions in the past, NASA announced that it will update us on deadlines every month. Phil McAlister, who is the director of Commercial Spaceflight Development at the NASA Headquarters, said that "this new process for reporting our schedule is better, nevertheless, launch dates will still have some uncertainty, and we anticipate they may change as we get closer to launch." He also added that since these spacecraft are new, they require a lot of work before they could be safely launched. Further tests are needed The two missions will be used to test new systems, so every rocket will take two astronauts to the ISS for just two weeks, after which they will return to Earth. In the future, if everything goes well, the regular missions will be held using SpaceX and Boeing rockets, each lasting around six months. Before the manned launches take place, both companies will test their vehicles without any crew. First, in January 2019, SpaceX will launch its Falcon 9 rocket, which will take a Crew Dragon capsule into a space. Two months later, Boeing will test an Atlas V rocket, with a Starliner ship attached on top. NASA hopes that both missions will be successful, because in November 2019 its contract with the Russian space agency is set to expire. https://advocator.ca/news/spacex-set-to-launch-its-first-crewed-mission-in-june-2019/6491 Back to Top ADVERTISE WITH FLIGHT SAFETY INFORMATION and AVIATION MAINTENANCE AND TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE Flight Safety Information (FSI) Newsletter has been publishing timely aviation safety news for over 25 years.
