– Martin Sloane; chemical engineer, propulsion scientist and Midland Gliding Club member
Born in 1961, Martin Sloan watched Apollo space missions as a boy and dreamed of being a rocket scientist; unlike most of his generation, he actually became one. With a Master’s degree in chemical engineering, he joined the UK’s leading centre for solid rocket motor production near Kidderminster, becoming R&D Manager, before working overseas including for NASA.
Martin says “Whenever my wife, who is a keen walker, and I were back in the UK, we would visit the Shropshire Hills. One day on the Long Mynd she saw a sign at the gate of the Midland Gliding Club airfield and booked a course for me as a present.”
That was in 2007. Martin returned several times over the years, learning to glide at his own pace on holiday courses, but he knew that flying for a few days at a time was not the best way to make real progress.
“I picked up the rudiments and remembered enough from year to year to take to the sky with an instructor, but I decided to join the Club when my family and work commitments reduced. I like the people, the way the Club operates, and the skill and patience of the instructors – and the Long Mynd is such a beautiful place to spend time, one that my wife enjoys as much as I do.”
In 2016, within a year of becoming a full member, Martin flew solo for the first time. He now flies two or three times a week and finds being on the airfield completely absorbing. He likes the mix of people and enjoys helping to get others into the air as much as his own flying.
“Gliding certainly appeals to technical types, engineers and the like, particularly ones with time on their hands, but you don’t have to be a retired rocket scientist to enjoy it. I often fly with members of an informal group that includes an A-level science student who soloed when she was 15 years old, a professional electrician, a ship’s captain, construction and software engineers and a fast-jet-turned-commercial pilot.
As one of a select few to have flown a Space Shuttle, albeit in NASA’s Huntsville simulator, Martin has some unique gliding experience. Martin has now bought a share in a glider of his own and is spreading his wings by flying cross-country from the Long Mynd. | aerospace |

CEO Greg Hayes announced the elimination of 15,000 jobs during an investors’ call last week, he also said that the defense part of the business has never been stronger.
He said the company has a backlog of $73 billion in orders for defense-related products, such as missiles. The Andover location on Lowell Street is a missile and defense facility and is known for its contributions to the Patriot Missile program, among many other types of defense technology.
“On the defense side, we continue to grow,” Hayes said, adding that the company is actually hiring 8,200 people in its defense division in the coming year to keep up with the demand.
Last Wednesday he announced that the company would be eliminating 15,000 jobs at its corporate offices, jet engine-maker Pratt & Whitney and aviation and military equipment manufacturer Collins Aerospace amid the downturn in the airline industry resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company, which has 195,000 employees and sales of $74 billion in 2019, is divided into four, main groups, including Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace, both of which make products for commercial aviation. The other two divisions focus on outer space and missiles and defense.
Both of those divisions are showing tremendous growth, Hayes said.
However, if layoffs are made in corporate offices, as suggested, that could mean job losses in Waltham, the location of the company’s corporate headquarters.
A spokesman for Raytheon, Chris Johnson, said the company was not releasing any information on how the layoffs could affect specific locations.
The job cuts are nearly double the total the company initially announced in July.
Hayes, speaking during a Morgan Stanley analysts conference via webcast, said the cuts amount to administrative cost reductions of about 20% at Pratt & Whitney, based in East Hartford, Connecticut, and about 12% at Collins Aerospace, based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Pratt & Whitney has seen shop visits decline 60% since the second quarter, and Collins Aerospace saw a 65% drop in commercial spare parts orders, Hayes said, noting global commercial air traffic is currently down about 45%, after an 80% drop in March.
Hayes also noted that the company was reviewing its “high-cost locations” and in the coming months would be studying “which factories make sense long-term” in an attempt to reduce costs.
Hayes said revenues from defense contracts was a “bright spot in the business” and now account for about two-thirds of sales.
Patriot Missiles, and Raytheon’s Andover facility, gained fame and notoriety during the first Gulf War in 1990 when the company was asked to manufacture the missiles at an accelerated pace because they were needed to shoot down Iraq’s Scud missiles in mid-air. The Patriot missiles soon became known as “Scud-busters.”
One media report noted that the Andover facility was working 24 hours a day and seven days a week to build as many Patriot missiles as possible to send to the Persian Gulf to protect military and civilian assets from the Scud missiles.
Hughes also said the company’s space division was also growing and “proving to be very profitable.”

Yikes! Could the sky literally start to fall? According to a new study from the U.S. government accountability office, some important GPS satellites could begin to fail as early as next year, and all sorts of GPS users — public safety, military and consumers — could begin to experience regular blackouts, failures and inaccurate readings.
That’s unsettling for everyone, but especially the military and first responders who are now relying on GPS for all sorts of applications — from monitoring criminals to responding to an emergency.
The GAO report, which was presented to Congress, says that the Air Force, which has been in charge of overseeing the constellation of GPS satellites since 1990, has struggled to build new GPS satellites within cost and schedule goals and has faced some major technical problems — as well as contractor problems — that are delaying significant updates to the system.
“It is uncertain whether the Air Force will be able to acquire new satellites in time to maintain current GPS service without interruption,” said the report. “If not, some military operations and some civilian users could be adversely affected.”
The GAO says the Air Force hasn’t executed the necessary actions to keep the constellation of satellites running smoothly. “As a result, the current IIF satellite program has overrun its original cost estimate by about $870 million, and the launch of its first satellite has been delayed to November 2009 — almost three years late,” the report stated.
The Air Force is structuring its new GPS IIIA program — a satellite system that will improve accuracy, provide better indoor coverage and improve anti-jam performance — to avoid mistakes made on the current IIF program. The Air Force is trying to deploy these next-generation satellites three years faster than the IIF satellites.
The GAO called this schedule to optimistic, given the program’s late start, past trends in space acquisitions and challenges facing the new contractor.
“Of particular concern is leadership for GPS acquisition, as GAO and other studies have found the lack of a single point of authority for space programs and frequent turnover in program managers have hampered requirements setting, funding stability, and resource allocation,” the report said.
The GAO said the time period between the contract award and the first launch for the GPS III satellites is shorter than most major space programs. And perhaps the biggest hurdle of all is the fact that contractor experience with GPS III technology at this point is minimal and technologists may need some time to get up to date with the new technology.
Another problem, according to the GAO is that the contractor also is being asked to develop a larger satellite bus to accommodate “future GPS increments” and to increase the power of a new military signal “by a factor of ten.”
“In view of these and other schedule issues, we believe that there is little room in the schedule to accommodate difficulties that the contractor or program may face,” the report said.
That means if the Air Force doesn’t meet proposed timelines, there is an increased possibility that in 2010, old satellites could stop working and not enough satellites will be working in the constellation to ensure adequate GPS service.
The Air Force has established an independent review team to examine the risks of using a smaller constellation of satellites to provide military and civilian GPS services, should a few satellites fail. But the Air Force, according to the GAO report, believes the best course of action is to plow ahead its current schedule for GPS IIIA deployments and mitigate risks associated with that effort. This despite the fact that military field equipment may not be ready for several years to accommodate the new GPS signals, the report said.
The GAO did acknowledge Air Force and DoD efforts in recent years to improve the situation. The agency is recommending that the secretary of defense “appoint a single authority to oversee the development of the GPS system, including DoD space, ground control, and user equipment assets, to ensure that the program is well executed and resourced, and that potential disruptions are minimized.”
I have no doubt that the government will be willing to throw all of its best minds and plenty of money at the problem. But if things don’t go flawlessly with the GPS IIIA system — which would be remarkable by itself — what impact will that have on U.S. military and first responder operations going forward?
Given the numerous vital applications that depend on GPS, I’m crossing my finger — on both hands — that these older satellites have more life in them.

Probably one of the best war flight sims on the home computers. Note that the flight dynamics is one of the most accurate for its time. For example, when landing, you should use your AoA (Angle of Attach) indicators in order to get a successful landing (a feature not simulated on most other flight sims at the time!). You pilot the F-16C in assignments as diverse as dogfights, bombing raids or reconnaissance missions. It is up to you to plan your flight route by setting waypoints on the tactical map prior to take-off (not found on the C64 cassette version though); you can also select the armament of your plane. As you advanced with your missions (staying alive of course), you may advance to Mission Commander which gives you the opportunity to control a squadron of other pilots which could be assigned missions by you!
Due to limitations in processor speed, memory, disc capacity and cassette loading time, there a few compromises made in order to produce an 8bit version of F-16 Combat Pilot game. The most significant missing (but found in the 16bit versions only) are the following:
- The following weapons are not avaitable: Mk 83 1OOOlb bomb, Mk A4 2OOOlb and Snakeye bomb.
- The zoom thermal image is not available tor Maverick AGM-65D operation
- There are no intelligence reports during the pre-flight briefing.
- Setting waypoinls on the pre-flight briefing map does not display your flight path.
- The air-to-air radar does not have Single Target Track (STT) modê.
- The air-to-air ground radar does not have a Ground Target Track (GTD mode).
- There is no digital artificial horizon option on the MFD'S.
- Only one enemy aircraft may be tracked on the Up Front Control panel.
- There are no left, right or rear views from the cockpit
- Callsigns have no purpose.
Presentation is pretty good on ZX and quite similar to the CPC but limited to each color-palette. There are no bridges or helicopters in the simulation (as in all 8bits). Wire-frame graphics are used throughout (3D objects not filled with any color). The cockpit though is detailed and colorful, depicting most of the instruments found in an F-16C. Still flight dynamics of an F-16C are fully featured and modeled, while the cockpit instruments are fine modeled and up to the 8bit hardware capabilities (mentioned above)! The frame-rate is low, which is normal for a 3D graphics-based game release on the 8bit Amstrad (and Commodore, Spectrum ZX) but the playability is good.
The sound is quite sparse and basic and limited to engine thrusts (which sounds pretty good though!). | aerospace |

Commercial rocket achieves orbit, deploys communications satellite
The Elon Musk–backed SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has made its much-anticipated voyage to geostationary orbit.
We have liftoff...finally!
The company on Tuesday was able to launch the rocket and then maneuver the craft into place above the Earth's equator, where a second burn was able to place the craft into its intended orbit for the deployment of the SES-8 commercial telecommunications satellite.
The craft launched from Florida's famed Cape Canaveral at 5:41pm Eastern time with its payload. Shortly after, the second burn took place and SpaceX announced that the satellite payload had been delivered to orbit.
Restart was good, apogee raised to 80k km (50k miles). Yes!!!— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 3, 2013
The launch marks a major victory for SpaceX, which had twice been forced to scrub its first mission to the lucrative geostationary orbit point at which commercial satellites are placed. Known as the Money Ring, reaching the orbit point is seen as essential for any would-be commercial spaceflight company.
SpaceX had previously delivered cargo to the International Space Station with its Dragon delivery system.
The successful launch of the craft comes after a pair of delays set the departure of the Falcon 9 SES-8 mission back by more than a week. Originally scheduled to depart Earth on November 25, the craft was beset by technical problems and its launch had to be postponed. Its departure was pushed back a second time when further issues meant that SpaceX would have to wait even longer for the launch window to re-open.
With the craft in place, SpaceX can now move forward with its plans to commercialize spaceflight and fill the launch gap which has been left by NASA as it looks to develop its next-generation Space Launch System. ® | aerospace |

This experiment proved that living creatures can survive in weightlessness.
As the scientist and inventor Konstantin Tsiolkovsky wrote, the first step of mankind is to fly out for the atmosphere and become satellites of the Earth. The first artificial satellite of the USSR launched on October 4, 1957. And then the question arose – can a person be in space? At the end of 1948, on the initiative of academician Sergei Korolev, a huge study was begun on determining the reactions of a living being to the effect of flight conditions on a rocket. After long discussions, they decided that they would use a dog for research.
A State Commission on the organization and conduct of flying animals on rockets was established. Then, at the Kapustin Yar test site, pilot experimental launches of so-called “academic” rockets with dogs on board were conducted.
And on November 3, 1957, Sputnik-2 with dog Laika entered the near-earth orbit. The purpose of this launch was to determine the possibility of living creatures at an altitude of up to 100-110 kilometers, followed by ejection and descent by parachute. Unfortunately, the dog had been living in orbit for only a few hours and died from overheating and increased stress.
The English Society for the Protection of Animals even directed the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Nikita Khrushchev, a protest against animal cruelty. But the stay of Laika in space proved that all living beings, including men, are able to survive in conditions of weightlessness. As for the rocket itself, Sputnik-2 made 2570 revolutions around the Earth and burned in the atmosphere on April 4, 1958. | aerospace |

Although I’m then waiting at Lisbon Airport for a flight to Seville, again with TAP Portugal.
The flight was around fifteen minutes late leaving, but the boarding process was efficient.
This is the aircraft that I flew on, the Airbus A320. This photo is from the in-flight magazine, a relatively interesting publication that was conveniently in both English and Portuguese.
I hadn’t realised until just before take-off that TAP provide free food and drinks on their flights, something I’d rather British Airways still did. A crew member handed out the package containing the chicken roll, an apple juice and some aircraft-shaped sweets. I think that there was a cheese version of the roll for vegetarians, although it was the meat version that was automatically handed out. It all tasted fine, and was perfectly adequate for a flight of under three hours.
The drinks service came a few minutes later, and it looked like a wide selection of soft drinks were on offer. I opted for a water, but there were coffees and teas available as well.
A reasonable number of flights at Lisbon Airport appeared to require bus transport, which meant that I had a wait on the tarmac in a bus for a few minutes. My view was of TAP’s maintenance depot.
Overall, I thought that the flight was better than I had expected, especially since I hadn’t realised that food and drink were included. The crew were multi-lingual, friendly and welcoming, whilst the aircraft was clean. Perhaps the biggest negative about the flight was that some of the passengers applauded and shouted excitedly when the captain landed the aircraft, and being British, I fouTAP nd this behaviour far too raucous. | aerospace |

NEW DELHI: The IAF on Friday got a long-delayed booster shot to shore up its air defence capabilities, with a Rs 5,400 crore deal being inked with defence PSU Bharat Electronics for seven additional squadrons of the indigenous Akash surface-to-air missile systems.
Sources said the delivery of the new Akash-2 squadrons, which are geared to intercept hostile aircraft, helicopters, drones and sub-sonic cruise missiles at a range of 25-km, will begin in 18 months. “All the seven squadrons will be delivered within three years,” said a source.
IAF had earlier ordered eight Akash-1 missile squadrons for Rs 6,200 crore, six of which are deployed in the north-east to counter Chinas build-up of military infrastructure all along the Line of Actual Control, which includes eight fully-operational airbases in Tibet. The other two squadrons have come up at the Mirage-2000 fighter base in Gwalior and Sukhoi-30MKI base in Pune.
The Army, in turn, has inducted two Akash regiments at a cost of Rs 14,180 crore, while another two are in the pipeline. The fully-automated Akash air defence missile systems, which have all-weather capability and can handle multiple aerial threats attacking from several directions simultaneously, are meant to prevent enemy fighters, helicopters and drones from attacking vital military installations and bases.

The “Mercury Seven” were Scott Carpenter, L. Gordon Cooper, Jr., John H. Glenn, Jr., Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, Walter M. Schirra, Jr., Alan B. Shepard, Jr., and Donald K. “Deke” Slayton.
Mercury Control was still undecided on the course of action to take with the heat shield problem. Some controllers thought the retrorocket pack should be jettisoned after retrofire, while other controllers thought the retro pack should be retained, as added assurance that the heat shield would stay in place…
“I am in a big mass of some very small particles, they’re brilliantly lit up like they’re luminescent. I never saw anything like it! They round a little: they’re coming by the capsule and they look like little stars. A whole shower of them coming by. They swirl around the capsule and go in front of the window and they’re all brilliantly lighted.” John Glenn – Friendship 7
With the passing of John Glenn last week, I thought it would be appropriate to pause my coverage of Apollo 10 for a week and create an episode that celebrates the life of the American Icon, John Glenn. I covered John Glenn’s Mercury flight in episodes 30-31. I am going to re-release those episodes over the next 2 days. So I won’t spend a lot of time on his Mercury flight in this episode, that will be covered tomorrow.
After Scott Carpenter’s science heavy Mercury-Atlas 7 flight, Nasa’s next mission would concentrate on the technical and engineering aspects of space travel. Mercury Atlas 8 became the third manned orbital flight of the Mercury program. The pilot selected was Walter M. Schirra, Jr., but most people called him Wally…
“Dear friends, you who are close to me, and you whom I do not know, fellow Russians, and people of all countries and all continents: in a few minutes a powerful space vehicle will carry me into the distant realm of space. What can I tell you in these last minutes before the launch? My whole life appears to me as one beautiful moment. All that I previously lived through and did, was lived through and done for the sake of this moment.” Yuri Gagarin prior to launch of Vostok 1.
Mercury-Redstone 4 was the fourth mission in the Mercury-Redstone series and the second U.S. manned suborbital spaceflight. The mission was essentially a repeat of Alan Shepard’s Freedom 7 flight. So why was it necessary to launch another sub-orbital mission? Why not proceed with an orbital flight to match the Soviet Vostok 1? Among other things the U.S. needed more space experience to corroborate the “Man-in-Space” concept. Also the Redstone was the only booster NASA had that was approved for manned launches. The Atlas booster was available but not ready. Atlas was capable of putting a Mercury Capsule into orbit, but it had been launched three times with unmanned capsules, and it had exploded on 2 of the 3 attempts.
As Procedures Officer, Kranz was put in charge of integrating Mercury Control with the Launch Control Team at Cape Canaveral, Florida, writing the “Go/NoGo” procedures that allowed missions to continue as planned or be aborted, along with serving as a sort of switchboard operator using teletype between the control center at Cape Canaveral and the agency’s fourteen tracking stations and two tracking ships located across the globe. | aerospace |

I have no issues to report. Our team is ready. Discovery is ready.” Mother Nature may not be as cooperative. NASA forecasters said a new weather system is moving into the area Sunday, bringing with it rain and low cloud cover, lightning and possible visibility problems at Kennedy Space Center next week. According to Blackwell-Thompson, NASA has enough fuel and supplies on hand for four launch attempts over five days. The first launch window is 10 minutes long, starting at 11.33 a.m. Tuesday. NASA's plan is to aim for the middle of the first window. With a 60 percent chance of good weather sometime in the launch period, NASA was upbeat that Discovery would lift off as scheduled. | aerospace |

It's illegal to fly unmanned aerial drones at any height, anywhere within 9 kilometres of an airport
A pilot taking off from the Region of Waterloo International Airport had a close call with a drone on Sunday, coming within three metres of striking the unmanned aircraft, according to Waterloo Regional Police.
Investigators say the near miss happened just north of the airport on Sunday when the pilot, who was bound for Tennessee, had just taken off.
There are drones out there that are the same size as airplanes, it's crazy.- Chris Wood, general manager of the Region of Waterloo International Airport
Police say the aircraft was about 500 metres from the airstrip when both aircraft passed within three metres of each other over a wooded area at the end of one of the runways.
Investigators say no one was hurt and the pilot did not have to take evasive action to avoid a mid-air collision, but authorities are taking the matter seriously.
Drones putting aircraft in harm's way
Once the exclusive realm of military forces and researchers, drones are becoming increasingly popular for commercial applications and as the playthings of amateurs, increasingly putting aircraft in harm's way.
Amid growing safety concerns, the federal government drafted a new set of proposed rules to better govern recreational and commercial drones under 25 kg back in May.
Even though Transport Canada regulations prohibit flying unmanned aerial drones at any height, anywhere within 9 kilometres of any airport, it doesn't seem to stop people from flying drones dangerously close to commercial airports.
Sunday's near miss in Waterloo Region is not the first time a pilot has reported a close call with a drone near the airport.
"There have been drones in the area that we've been aware of," Chris Wood, the airport's general manager said Monday. "I know at other airports there have been some near misses too."
"It's definitely something the industry is paying very close attention to," he said. "There are drones out there that are the same size as airplanes, it's crazy."
15 close encounters this year
An online search of Canada's Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Report System (CADORS) shows at least 15 reports involving sightings of unmanned aircraft near Ontario airports in the last year.
While a few are reports of weather balloons along flight paths, most are reports from pilots spotting drones close enough to their aircraft that they can describe colour, number of propellers, even in some cases the make and model of the robotic aircraft.
"An individual called Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport security office about a drone operator, flying a Phantom 3 drone, within 8km of the airport," one report dated July 9, 2015 states.
In another report, dated July 28, 2015, airport security at Toronto's Billy Bishop Airport spoke to the drone operators, who reportedly claimed to have permission from air traffic control.
"When [the drone operators] were advised that police had been contacted the drone was brought down and the individual left the area," the report said. | aerospace |

1) I bought a flight with them. They canceled the flight but didn't even let me know
2) I had to book a new flight with my own money. I requested a refund for the canceled flight
3) They said it was not their fault that the flight was canceled. Therefore, they will not refund me any money
I couldn't believe it, I have never seen an airline behaving this way.
Never, ever use them. Avoid at all costs. | aerospace |

It consists of Haas balloon-launched orbital rocket, Haas 2 airplane-launched orbital rocket, Haas 2b ground-launched suborbital rocket and Super Haas ground-launched orbital rocket.
Haas was a Romanian carrier rocket, which was developed[when?] by ARCA as part of the ELE programme. It was designed to be air-launched from a high-altitude balloon, similar to the American Rockoon experiments of the 1950s. Prior to the development of Haas, ARCA had already launched two Stabilo rockets from balloons. It is fueled by hydrogen peroxide and bitumen.
The Haas rocket was to be a three-stage rocket intended to be capable of placing 400 kilograms of payload into low Earth orbit. Its maiden flight was to carry the European Lunar Explorer spacecraft, ARCA's entry into the Google Lunar X-Prize, following a series of engine tests which began in 2009.
It was abandoned when ARCA decided to stop using solar and helium balloons for their space program.
Haas 2 is an orbital two-stage launcher intended to be carried under the fuselage of the IAR 111 supersonic plane. It is powered by the new Executor liquid-fueled rocket engine under development at ARCA. Its intended launch altitude is approximately 17,000 m. It is intended to place a 400 kg payload into low Earth orbit.
Haas 2c is a flight testing platform for the Executor engine. It was an intended single-stage-to-orbit vehicle due to its lightweight fuel tanks and, as of June 2012[update], had been planned for an early 2013 launch.[dated info] ARCA announced that after the successful flight test of Executor engine, that they would construct a multi-stage rocket based on Haas 2c in order to win the Google Lunar X Prize competition. Engine tests are scheduled to begin in June 2012 [dated info]

Initially, it was formed on the basis of the transfer of measurement methods and information processing from geodesy to the field of astronomy. Currently, geodetic astronomy is closely related to space geoinformatics, comparative planetology and space geodesy. Currently, comparative planetary science has begun to use more measuring methods and methods of comparative analysis. Measuring and comparison methods link geodetic astronomy and comparative planetary science. Advanced methods of geodetic measurements link space geodesy and geodetic astronomy. The principles of technology integration and data integration from space geoinformatics have been transferred to the field of geodetic astronomy. Common to space geodesy, space geoinformatics, comparative planetology and geodetic astronomy is the trend towards using angular measurements and a small number of linear measurements. Common to these sciences is the study of spatial relationships on Earth and in space. What they have in common is the use of advances in computing technology to process observations and measurements. There were described four celestial spheres, which are used in geodetic astronomy. The basic coordinate systems used in geodetic astronomy are described. Methods for ensuring the uniformity of time measurements in geodetic astronomy are described. The article reveals the content of geodetic astronomy through the main directions of its application. The features of astronomical definitions characteristic of geodetic astronomy are described. The evolution of geodesic astronomy has led to the fact that its modern content is significantly different from its original content.
Abstract: The article discusses the development of space monitoring. It is shown that space monitoring is based on the integration of methods of terrestrial monitoring and the integration of earth sciences into space research. The software can be extended to outer space. Space monitoring uses remote sensing technology and instrumental visual observations. Space monitoring is greatly influenced by: space geodesy, geodetic astronomy, comparative planetology, space geoinformatics and the use of systems analysis in space research. A necessary factor in modern space monitoring is the use of different types of modeling. The article gives the systematics of space monitoring carried out in different aspects. Space monitoring has two directions. The first group is aimed at exploring extraterrestrial space. The second group aims to support the exploration of the Earth from space and a portion of near-Earth space. The article introduces a new term "information monitoring situation". The article shows the delineation of the scope of application of geoinformatics and space geoinformatics. The article reveals the content of outer space as objects of space monitoring research. The difference between sublunary and for the lunar spaces is shown in the aspect of meteorite hazard. The article reveals the content of the coordinate support of space monitoring. Space monitoring uses: galactic, heliocentric, geocentric and topocentric systems. The content of these systems is revealed. The difference between the galactic latitude and longitude and the heliocentric one is shown. The features of determining the position of space objects in different coordinate systems are noted and recommendations are given on the use of these coordinate systems.
Abstract: The author published a paper on the gravitational force generated by an interaction between matter and the ZPF field in the vacuum. This paper shows a new model of gravitation which is based on the interaction between matter and the ZPF field in a vacuum. From the equation of quantum electrodynamics, it can be derived that a gravity constant is not a constant but it can be decreased by the strong electromagnetic field. From this result, it can be seen that the celestial body with a high intensity electromagnetic field has a gravitational force which is different from the celestial body with no electromagnetic field. If the cutoff frequency of the zero point field is not so high as the Plank frequency, the weight of the material will be decreased by applying extremely high frequency electromagnetic radiation.
Abstract: This paper presents a doctrine analysis established in the criminal law – Actio Libera in Causa – i.e. “action free in its cause”, namely against the background of “Ethics of authenticity” by Charles Taylor, philosopher of politics, the conception “unfree in action” is reinterpreted.
The leitmotif of the paper is the idea that events shall fit the conceptions in the normative dimension and not concepts with the events, which means the reality in itself is beyond the value assessment, moreover, it can be neglected for normative standardization of events. For defining the social organization criteria, the initial point is not the ideal of truth in itself, but a substantiated model of balance of interests in the form of so-called “agreed truth”. Hence the need to subordinate the events to concepts is the core point in analyzing “action free in its cause”.
Abstract: The article examines the system of two bodies "Earth Moon". It is shown that, like any system of physical bodies, this system has a common center of mass or barium center. The Earth and the Moon revolve around the barycenter. The incorrectness of the statement that the Moon revolves around the Earth is noted. The moon revolves around the common center of mass of the system. which is displaced with respect to the center of mass of the Earth, but is located in the body of the Earth. The parameters of the bodies' orbits in the Earth-Moon system are estimated. It is hypothesized that the ebb and flow occur due to the daily rotation of the Earth and the displacement of the center of the water mass relative to the barycenter. The phenomenon of libration points in the Earth-Moon system is described. Stable and non-stable libration points are described. Calculations of libration points in the Earth-Moon system and the associated Sun-Earth system have been carried out. The expediency of using libration points for the construction of space stations is noted. It is hypothesized that the libration points of the Sun-Earth system can contribute to the formation of debris rings in near-Earth space.
Abstract: The article examines the photogrammetric method for determining the characteristics of a moving body in space research. The object of research is comets. The method belongs to the field of space photogrammetry and space geoinformatics. A comet is considered as a moving body, but the technique can be used to track meteorites and other small celestial bodies. Stroboscopic shooting is proposed as a method of observation and measurement. A simple stroboscope in the form of a circle with a circular hole at the edge is proposed. Stroboscopic shooting allows not only photographing sections of the trajectory, but also linking them to time. Stroboscopic shooting allows you to change two parameters: shooting frequency and exposure time. These parameters are selected for the speed of the moving object and its distance from the shooting point. The basic diagram of stroboscopic shooting is described. Three qualitatively different sections of the trajectory of a moving object, which are obtained during stroboscopic shooting, are described. The plots characterize the approach of the subject to the shooting point. The most informative is the second section of the trajectory, which corresponds to the middle of the trajectory. A schematic diagram of photographing a moving object is described. Estimation formulas for determining the velocity of a space body are given. A practical example of shooting with an open shutter and using a stroboscope is given. The method allows one to study the dynamics of an object's movement, including its destruction or collision with another object. The method can be applied to survey ground objects, for example, aircraft or missiles of any range.
Abstract: The article relates to the field of space geoinformatics and comparative planetology. The difference between space geoinformatics and terrestrial geoinformatics is shown. The great connection of space geoinformatics with geometry is noted in comparison with terrestrial geoinformatics. The most common methods of planetary exploration are space imagery and radar sensing. Laser sensing is mainly used for ranging only. The article proposes to use laser rangefinders for a new purpose. The article proposes a new method for measuring coordinates on the planet's surface, called Trinitarian. The technique allows, on the basis of measuring the distance to a point, to determine two more of its coordinates. The technique is applicable when the spacecraft moves in the gravitational field of the planet as an artificial satellite. The coordinates are called conditional because they are not measured in the coordinate system of the planet's surface or in the system of its center of mass, but in the coordinate system associated with the trajectory of the spacecraft. An analogy between this technique and the measurement of coordinates using global navigation satellite systems is shown. Coordinates are measured by measuring the range from two points of the spacecraft trajectory and measuring the baseline on the trajectory between the observation points. Calculation formulas are given and errors are analyzed. The relativity of coordinates is that the technique allows you to measure only two coordinates out of three. The technique is compared with the terrestrial analogue of the global navigation satellite system. The similarities and differences between the proposed Trinitarian methodology and the existing global navigation satellite system are shown. Further improvement of the methodology is proposed. | aerospace |

It would seem that there are no hard and fast rules, and once the aircraft has a certificate announcing its airworthiness the owner can make modifications to the seats to render them non functioning.
It has been quite a battle to find out what exactly can and can't be done but below is the situation so far:

EX - MILITARY AIRCRAFT ON PERMIT TO FLY
11. EJECTION SEATS IN EX-MILITARY PERMIT AEROPLANES
The purpose of this procedure is to present a set of guidelines to be followed when addressing the approval of aircraft which were operated in military service with live ejection seats.
The reader is also referred to AMSD TPM E2-E8 covering Aircraft Ejection Seat - maintenance/service information, which describes differences between some seats, and shows typical lives of cartridges.
In principle, ex-military aircraft should conform as closely as possible to the standard for which the CAA accepted the service safety record. This means that ejection seats, canopy jettison systems and MDCs should be maintained “live”, and the CAA recommend that they be maintained thus.
However it is recognised that such charged systems carry an inherent risk and under some circumstances the CAA may be prepared to accept that they be disarmed.
For the CAA to consider accepting that such systems be disarmed, the aircraft must first be shown to have a landing speed low enough (and with benign handling) that it is reasonable to expect the pilot to be able to make a forced landing in a field. Although it may be argued that the 61 knot stall speed limit of JAR-23 would provide a criterion consistent with civil codes, this has not been employed in the past. Examples where disarmed ejection seats have been accepted include:
Threshold speed, knots
Stall speed, knots
Jet Provost Mk 5
90 - 95
73 - 77 gear down, full flap
100 knots at typical weight
85 - 95 knots
67 - 80 gear down, full flap
These are all aircraft with seats of low capability (not “zero-zero”) which would not work at the critical parts of the flight envelope - immediately after take-off and prior to landing.
Disablement of ejection seats is a modification and as such must be defined (usually via a company procedure) and submitted to the CAA Aircraft Projects Department for approval as a Major modification. (Form AD282 unless covered as part of the initial investigation.)
11.3 Design Investigation
11.3.1 Aircraft with “Live” seats, Limitations
For aircraft operated with live seats, the appropriate type of seat must be fitted and it must be maintained in accordance with appropriate publications. These are to be referred (type, manufacturer, serial number, publication) on the AAN approving the aircraft.
Cartridges powering such seats will be life limited and the lives should be quoted in the AAN. Manufacturers lives are employed rather than those arbitrarily extended by Eastern Bloc military authorities short of cash.
In the past, no particular attention was paid the occupant weight limitations for ejection seats, but military experience with light/female pilots has shown that it is necessary that such limitations be determined and recorded appropriately. These limitations must be placarded such that they are clearly visible to the occupant. The seat occupant weight limitations are to be shown in a Supplement to the Pilots Notes (raised by the E4 Design Organisation) and the AAN will refer to this.
Note 1: Training of occupants with respect to use of ejection seats is covered under the CAP 632 operational approval.
11.3.2 Aircraft with disabled seats
If disablement of the ejection seats is proposed, it will be addressed as follows. Simple disarming via removal of explosive charges or cartridges is not sufficient for aircraft capable of aerobatics, as the occupants must be able to abandon such aircraft manually (consistent with JAR 23.807 (d) which requires that it must be possible to abandon the aircraft at all speeds between Vs and Vd). Aspects to be covered in this event include:
184.108.40.206 Canopy Jettison.
It is not true that a canopy will always detach unaided under the action of the freestream. On some canopies the pressure distribution is such that large forces exist at significant forward speeds. Unless the aircraft Type Design Organisation can give assurances that the canopy will open and jettison freely without the charged system, the system must remain live. It may be necessary to promulgate a warning to the effect that canopy separation may take a significant time (eg some Jet Provost Mk 5s).
220.127.116.11 Parachute deployment.
The parachute must remain operable. The military service disarming procedure does not necessarily address this aspect. It may be necessary to disconnect parachute withdrawal line from the guillotine in order to ensure that the parachute will completely separate from the seat. The CAA may require physical demonstration of this.
This was highlighted in the AAIB investigation following an incident in 1994 when a disabled ejection seat fell out of a Jet Provost during aerobatics.
18.104.22.168 Non-aerobatic Aircraft
If the aircraft is of low enough landing speed and is not to be approved for aerobatics, the ejection system may be disabled without addressing canopy jettison and parachute deployment. In this instance rapid egress after landing must remain possible, even with total systems failure (ie no electric power available).
22.214.171.124 Placards and Marking
Disabled ejection seats must be clearly placarded as such. External markings (which may remain for authenticity) should be over-stencilled “disarmed” or “inert” (unless the canopy jettison is cartridge driven and remains live) and seat top boxes painted white.
NB At the time of writing (2000) this latter had not yet been adopted as standard, but it is to be promulgated as a standard by Flight Ops.
126.96.36.199 Pilots Notes/FRCs - Procedure
If ejection seats have been disabled, the procedures in the Pilots Notes (E4 Design company Supplement to be approved by the CAA under AAN) must be address:
- the manual abandonment procedures with any amendments found necessary by the Design Surveyor during investigation.
- emphasise continued need for checking the integrity of the top latch prior to flight.
NB This was highlighted in the AAIB investigation following an incident in 1994 when a disabled ejection seat fell out of a Jet Provost during aerobatics.
Flight Reference Cards, if employed, must be similarly amended

1. Materials, symbols, and ideologies of progress, pp. -21
MATERIALS, SYMBOLS, AND IDEOLOGIES 7 end of World War I to the end of World War I, metal almost completely replaced wood. During World War I, the major combatants built approx- imately 170,000 airplanes, almost all using wooden construction.9 Dur- ing World War II, the major powers produced roughly 750,000 airplanes, the vast majority with metal structures.' A comparable shift to metal oc- curred in commercial aircraft. Only in small, private airplanes and military trainers did wood retain its place as a structural material through World War II. Wood remained unchallenged as the dominant material for airplane structures until late in World War I. In the typical airplane of the war, wood comprised all major structural elements, with metal used only for fittings and tension wires (figure 1.2). The wings consisted of two spruce spars running the length of the wing, with wooden ribs placed crosswise to give the wing its shape. Strong steel wire braced the resulting grid of spars and ribs, creating a framework to support the linen cloth that formed the wing surface. A similar rectangular frame of wooden struts, also wire braced, formed the fuselage. Even the landing gear was likely to be of wood." Despite the dominance of wood, early airplane designers had not ignored metal. Even before the Kitty Hawk flights, airplane pioneers Maxim and Langley had experimented with metal structures. The French airplane builder Breguet began using steel in 1910, and other designers experi- mented with the metal monocoque fuselage as early as 1912.12 Nevertheless, on the eve of World War I no airplane in production had a metal structure. Like many developments in aviation, the metal* airplane was a child of World War I. Chapter two recounts these wartime origins, and the postwar enthusiasm that ensued. Germany was the first nation to make widespread use of metal in aircraft structures. Over a thousand German warplanes used the welded steel-tube fuselage developed by Anthony Fokker. But a much more potent symbol was the all-metal airplane of Hugo Junkers. Junkers' first airplane used sheet iron, but in later models he switched to duralumin, a high-strength alloy developed shortly before the war. By the end of the war, Junkers and other German manufacturers had developed numerous metal designs, and a few metal airplanes even made it into combat. The U.S. Army also experimented with metal aircraft during the war, though with less success than the Germans. * In discussing the use of metal in aircraft, one needs to distinguish between all-metal construction and the partial use of metal. The aeronautical community did not apply a consis- tent terminology. "All-metal" generally referred to airplanes that used metal almost exclusively for both the internal structure and the external covering, while the term "metal airplane" also included aircraft with internal metal structures but fabric or wood covering. I follow this usage in the book when referring to "all-metal" and "metal airplanes." Many airplanes, however, used both wood and metal structures, for example a metal fuselage and wood wings. Such airplanes were sometimes referred to as metal, at other times as wood, and sometimes as "composite." In this book, "wooden airplane" or "wooden construction" refers to any airplane in which a major part of the structure was made of wood.

In the near-miss incident Wednesday July 13, an Aeromexico Boeing 737-700, registration EI-DRD performing flight AM-421 from Merida to Mexico City, was cleared for takeoff and was accelerating for takeoff from runway 10 at 10:32 a.m. local time. But the crew rejected takeoff at high speed due to sighting another aircraft on the runway, according to reports in the Aviation Herald and other media.
The Aeromexico 737 aircraft braked heavily, and the crew managed to avoid a collision. The pilot reported there was another aircraft on the runway, when the air control tower queried for the reason of rejecting takeoff, reacting astonished about the presence of another aircraft.
An Interjet Airbus A320-200, registration XA-MTY performing flight 4O-2526 from Mexico City to Merida with 136 people on board, had landed at 10:31 a.m. local time and was turning to backtrack the runway to the apron when the tower cleared the Aeromexico plane for takeoff.
The Aeromexico jet returned to the apron. The aircraft was able to depart 5 hours later and reached Mexico City with a delay of 5 hours.
The Interjet plane departed Merida for the return flight 4O-2527 about 4 hours later with a delay of 3.5 hours.
Mexico’s Transport Ministry reported flight AM-421 rejected takeoff when the crew observed an obstacle on the runway. The recordings of the communication between crew and Air Traffic Control have been forwarded to the aviation authority for investigation. Preliminary analysis suggests the tower controller cleared AM-421 for takeoff without verification of the runway being clear.
The tower controller on duty reportedly has been suspended temporarily pending outcome of the investigation.

Flight Training Process
(Medical Exam, Knowledge, and Practical Tests)
to Pay for Flight Training
Discovery / Introductory Flight
A Discovery Flight is an introductory "mini flight lesson"
that gives you the opportunity to see what’s involved
in learning how to fly an airplane. This "mini flight
lesson" generally involves spending a few minutes on
the ground learning about the airplane (i.e. preflight, radio
operations, etc.), and a 30-minute flight with a certified
flight instructor that will allow you to actually take the
controls and fly the airplane, with the guidance of the instructor.
Your Discovery Flight will help you determine whether or not
you would like to become a pilot and/or train at that particular
Discovery Flights cost approximately $50
(costs vary at each school), which includes both the airplane
and instructor. If you are thinking about learning how to
fly, contact a local flight school and schedule a Discovery
Flight. A Discovery Flight makes a great gift for anyone
interested in becoming a pilot. You can also use Discovery
Flights to compare different flight schools.
Obtain a Student Pilot/Medical Certificate
A Student Pilot/Medical Certificate is equivalent to a driver’s
learning permit when flying. This certificate is not required
to start flight training. However, it is highly recommended
that you obtain your Student Pilot/Medical Certificate prior
to starting any flight training to ensure that you meet
the FAA medical standards. Finding out immediately whether
or not you meet the medical standards could save you time
It is a requirement at some flight schools
for students to obtain their Student Pilot/Medical Certificates
before starting their flight training program. As a student
pilot, you are restricted from carrying passengers, and
can only fly in the area or to the airports that your flight
instructor has authorized.
be eligible for a Student Pilot Certificate, you must:
at least 16 years of age
able to read, speak, and understand the English language
at least a current Third-Class Medical Certificate or
in the case of a glider or balloon, certify that he
or she has no known medical defect that would make him
or her unable to pilot a glider or balloon.
The cost for a FAA medical certificate range from $80 -
$120 depending on your location. When the Student Pilot
Certificate is issued by a Flight
Standards District Office (FSDO), there is no charge.
to obtain a Student Pilot/Medical Certificate
There are approximately 6,000 Aviation
Medical Examiners (AMEs)
throughout the U.S. (and the world) authorized
by the FAA to issue airmen medical certificates. To obtain
your Student Pilot/Medical Certificate, contact an AME for
an appointment. You can locate an AME near you by searching
Online AME Directory. You should also seek the advice
of fellow pilots when selecting an AME.
your visit, you will be required to complete FAA
Form 8500-8 (Download PDF - Adobe
Acrobat Reader required).After completing this form,
the AME will conduct a 3rd Class medical examination and
determine whether or not you meet the medical standards
to ensure that you can safely perform the duties of a pilot
certificate. Normally, the medical examination can be completed
within one day. It may take longer if specialized tests
must be performed outside the physician's facility. If you
pass the medical examination, the AME will issue you a 3rd
Class medical certificate and it will also serve as a Student
Pilot Certificate on the reverse side. This combined certificate
is valid for 24 calendar months.

Kermit Weeks Videos YouTube
The motor sounds incredible! I always find videos like this amazing – it shows you that being a pilot is not easy peasy. For one, there’s a lot of work just to get this war bird flying. Think about how it was during World War 2 when there was extreme pressure (e.g. they have to go against zeros in an hour or less) and they have to prepare for the flight not to mention the dogfighting itself. These pilots are the real deal, bad ass to the bone.
The Grumman Wildcat is a fine machine with impressive performance during the war. Although it wasn’t superior to the Zero in terms of maneuverability, rate of climb and speed; it more than compensated for all that with its tough construction and superior firepower. It’s a nasty little beast that shouldn’t be underestimated. It was easy to fly and fairly stable.

Best Space and Military Electronic Manufacturing Company
For electronics specifically, space is an unforgiving environment, as the conditions up there are vastly different from those on the surface of the earth. Electronic assemblies must function flawlessly not only after leaving the assembly line, but must also complete their life span without faltering—there is no concept of maintenance or servicing in space.
With electronic manufacturing companies developing and manufacturing complex electronic assemblies for missiles, satellites, and spacecraft, each electronic device must be customized for the specific requirements of the purchaser to ensure superior quality, affordability, and prompt deliveries.
When dealing with military and aerospace requirements, it is insufficient to produce decent quality products. Military and aerospace assemblies must be of only the finest quality capable of enduring the stringent conditions.
Therefore, NADCAP certified electronic manufacturing services with exclusive qualities are required to produce devices that can weather the challenges from space programs with the help of radiation toughened electronic assembly services. Manufacturers gain this certification to make sure the PCB assemblies they product conform to the military and aerospace specifications.

SpaceX is making rapid progress with the construction of their first stainless-steel flight vehicle - Starship SN1, at their South Texas assembly facility. The vehicle's first test flight will take place sometime after March 16, it will fly 20 kilometers above Boca Chica Beach. Last night, SpaceX teams started stacking Starship SN1's stainless-steel barrel and bulkhead section that will makeup the vehicles internal structure.
Elon Musk, the Chief Engineer and founder of SpaceX has been spending the last couple of weeks at the assembly facility in Boca Chica working alongside crews he shared a video clip of Starship's mid section under construction. He had previously explained that the reason they chose to design a stainless-steel flight vehicle is because "it’s obviously cheap, it’s obviously fast -but it’s not obviously the lightest. But it is actually the lightest. If you look at the properties of a high-quality stainless steel, the thing that isn’t obvious is that at cryogenic temperatures, the strength is boosted by 50 percent" Musk explained to Popular Mechanics reporters, "Most steels, as you get to cryogenic temperatures, they become very brittle. You’ve seen the trick with liquid nitrogen on typical carbon steel: You spray liquid nitrogen, you can hit it with a hammer, it shatters like glass. That’s true of most steels, but not of stainless-steel that has a high chrome-nickel content. That actually increases in strength, and ductility is still very high. So you have, like, 12 to 18 percent ductility at, say, minus 330 degrees Fahrenheit. Very ductile, very tough. No fracture issues."
Liquid nitrogen cryogenic strength test underway ☃️ pic.twitter.com/qRPBLInqm0— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 29, 2020
In fact, SpaceX recently conducted a cryogenic pressurization test on a propellant dome tank to test the stainless-steel structure also its weld strength under super-chilled temperatures (pictured above). The fuel tank demonstrated that under cryogenic conditions, stainless-steel is strong enough to withstand the pressure it would experience on future human missions to space. The propellant test tank reached an internal pressure of 8.5 bar, the tank needed to withstand a pressure of at least 6 bar for an orbital flight without humans onboard. SpaceX aimed to increase the bar strength to ensure the vehicle ends up being safe for crewed flights. Musk explained other benefits of building a stainless-steel Starship:
"I think is quite important, when you consider this as a reentry vehicle. See, here’s the other benefit of steel: It has a high melting point."
"Much higher than aluminum, and although carbon fiber doesn’t melt, the resin gets destroyed at a certain temperature." He added, "So typically aluminum or carbon fiber, for a steady-state operating temperature, you’re really limited to about 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s not that high. You can take little brief excursions above that, maybe 350." Starship is designed to become a fully reusable launch vehicle that must be capable of withstand the highest temperatures upon the fiery atmosphere reentry when returning from space, in order to be reused. When asked where the stainless-steel comes from Musk responded:
"It’s just 301 stainless. Let me put it this way: 304 stainless is what they make pots out of. There’s plenty of it."
This makes Starship production a bit more cost effective compared to the production of other rockets, "The carbon fiber is $135 a kilogram, 35 percent scrap, so you’re starting to approach almost $200 a kilogram. The steel is $3 a kilogram." So, stainless-steel is the most affordable option that offers strength and heat-shield properties. This year the rocket company could build up to 20 test flight prototypes that they will use to preform high-altitude flights that will test the vehicles design and Raptor engines' power. They also aim to conduct Starship's first orbital-flight test before this year ends.
Manufacturing several Starship's this year will sure test out the company's ability of building a Starship production assembly line under a tight schedule. In the future, they have plans of manufacturing at least two Starship vehicles per week in order to achieve transforming humanity into a spacefaring civilization. The final version of Starship will need to be capable of being reused several times per day, as well as take megatons of cargo per year to Mars to establish and maintain a permanent human settlement. So, one day SpaceX will build 100 Starship's per year! For now, Starship SN1 will be the first fully assembled vehicle that will conduct a 20km flight -with production of Starship SN2 flight vehicle simultaneously underway.

Doing it so that you actually record a beautiful clip is a heck of a lot harder. Those swooping shots of expansive landscapes don’t exactly shoot themselves, after all. The 3DR Solo wants to make it easier.
Made by the same guys behind the IRIS drone, the GoPro-armed quadcopter comes with an assembly of tools designed to automate and simplify your aerial recordings. Yes, it comes with a follow-me mode similar to IRIS, but the darn thing steps it up big time in the automation department.
For instance, you can define the 3DR Solo’s flight path by simply drawing a line on your phone, which spurs it to fly back and forth along that exact path, filming everything within its view. You can also select an object from the camera feed, then select “Orbit” to send the drone flying in a perfect circle, while keeping its camera focused on the subject full-time. Like many camera-based gadgets, it comes with a selfie mode that, when chosen, automatically trains the drone’s camera your way and makes it hover at an ideal distance for a selfie. Those smarts are provided by a pair of integrated 1GHz computers, both running Linux.
Each drone includes a controller styled like an old-school joystick, with a built-in dock for holding an iPhone or iPad (it works together with the accompanying app). Unlike other drones, it comes with direct access to the GoPro camera’s settings, allowing you to control the camera from the drone app (no more switching between the two). More importantly, it’s highly customizable, with almost all parts easily replaceable, lots of room for add-ons (infrared sensors, parachutes, and more), and an open software that will let you program it to give the drone an entirely new set of abilities.
Pricing for the 3DR Solo is set at $1,000 for just the drone and $1,400 if you want it with a purpose-built GoPro gimbal in tow. | aerospace |

In this post, I will list the top flight schools in the world for pilot training.
There are many flight schools around the world, with the United Kingdom, the United States, Greece, the Netherlands, South Africa, Phillipines, Germany, and Kenya at the top of the list of best countries for pilot training. Some people’s decisions about which flight school to attend are affected by the expense, opportunities, and courses offered. Students may study aviation maintenance, aviation management, air traffic control, or another aviation-related career at top aviation colleges. To kickstart your journey, here are the requirements/qualifications you’ll need to enrol in a flight school if you’re ready.

Qualifications to become a pilot
Academic credentials are not needed to hold the licenses required to fly a commercial plane. To attend a specific flight school or enter a specific airline and use your license, you will need some form of academic qualifications, but this varies by country and airline.
To serve as a First Officer on a commercial passenger plane for an airline, you must have the following requirements as a bare minimum:
- A frozen Air Transport Pilots License (ATPL) that includes the CPL, MEIR, MCC, and ATPL Principle.
- Medical report
- Possess a good command of the English language
- Valid passport
- Have the legal right to live and work in the country where the airline is headquartered.
Please note: Some airlines would also require you to have a minimum standard of academic credentials, such as a high school diploma or a secondary school diploma with a passing score. In countries such as the United Kingdom, this consists of 5 GCSEs (A-C) in Mathematics, English, and Science, although in other countries it may be a Secondary School Certificate (SSC) of an acceptable standard.
Although some airlines, such as British Airways, used to mandate applicants to have at least two A-Levels with grades of A-C, this has been replaced with a minimum UCAS point threshold to ensure that BTECs, apprenticeships, and international qualifications are taken into account.
Even though you might not require any academic qualifications to obtain a Commercial Pilots Licence, if you want to get the qualification at a reputable flight school through a full-time integrated training program, some flight schools require you to have a minimum level of qualifications.
Must be 18 years and above before you can register for pilot training.

This academy also provides airline crew training, aircraft maintenance training, aircraft dispatcher training, and air traffic control training in addition to pilot flight training.
You don’t necessarily need an advanced degree like a B.sc or masters degree to become a pilot, however, the requirements vary from one school to the other. Major airlines in the United States and some Asian countries usually require you to have a university degree as a minimum prerequisite. You can find flight schools in almost every country but in terms of quality and services rendered, some are rated ahead of others. So, if you’re looking for some of the top flight schools in the world for pilot training, you can select any of these, but in all sincerity, these flight schools are not the cheapest in the world, countries like Greece, Maldives, and Kenya, are among the countries with the cheapest aviation schools.

– Folding GPS drone with automatic return to home and landing capability on command, loss of signal, or low battery.
– 8520 brushed motors are powerful, and cheap/easy to find should you need to replace them.
– Records 1080p video directly to a microSD card. No WiFi video frame dropping on this one. And the video quality looks reasonably good for a toy drone.
– Bright front LED lights, can be used at night to illuminate video (up close only).
– Real time in-flight video can be viewed and recorded to your smartphone using the “CSJ GPS” app available on Google Play here and iTunes here App also provides advanced capabilities of follow me, circle position, and waypoint flying, although how well they work may depend on the quality of your phone.
– FPV video is transmitted via common 2.4Ghz WiFi. It should work and be compatible with most phones.
– 3.7V 1800mah battery provides about 11 minutes of flight time per charge.
– Brushed motors, will need to eventually be replaced.
– I couldn’t get waypoint flying to work with the app.
– Although the app’s Follow Me feature does work, it would cause the drone to fly with erratic movement, with resulting jerky video.
– The drone’s 2.4Ghz controller interferes with the WiFi FPV reception. This causes short FPV range. The manufacturer realized that, and included default 30 meter geofence to keep the drone within FPV range. However, the geofence can be turned off if you wish to venture in long range line of sight flying. Video recording will still be maintained through the SD card should you lose FPV signal.
– Low battery automatic return to home will maintain whatever altitude the drone is at when activated. So be careful when flying in low battery state and make sure that there are no obstrcutions between the drone and its landing pad on the return route.

Hi am a newbie Would this work on a 4g phone am, looking to get a GPS drone what would u recommend most of the ones I like are 5g even a clone great channel ✌️✌️✌️
On your recommendation and a few others I bought this drone. I only got to fly it twice before it flew away.
I did not realized it would fly in wifi-only mode and as soon as it got above the trees the wind took it and I could not get it back. return home does not work in Wi-Fi mode.
If you buy this drone the first thing you should do it's put a label on it with your name address and phone number in case someone honest finds it.
If you buy this drone make sure you have properly calibrated the GPS by launching it walk over to the Drone and shove it to one side if it moves back to where it was you have correctly calibrated the GPS.
If you launch the Drone and it drifts along with the wind you have not calibrated the GPS.
I did not know this and now I have no drone but I have two batteries a remote some charging cords and a drone case.

Steven James Haley, son of James Ray Haley, filed the lawsuit in Oakland County Circuit Court Feb. 10. Judge Martha Anderson is assigned to the case.
The plane, a rented Cessna 172 private, single-engine aircraft, crashed at 1:40 p.m. June 21, 2013 in a field at the airport’s north end. The crash killed four people -- the pilot Troy Brothers of Fraser. his 53-year-old mother Sandra Haley, 58-year-old stepfather James Haley, and 34-year-old cousin Jamie Jose.
Sandra Haley, who was in the backseat of the plane, was transported by ambulance from the scene and pronounced dead at a Pontiac hospital. The three men died on impact.
Federal investigators later determined the plane was overweight and that its flaps were not set correctly.
Staff at Flight 101 reached Friday Feb. 14 said the company had no comment on the case.
In the lawsuit, Steven Haley is listed as the personal representative for his father’s estate, in Macomb County Probate Court.
The lawsuit states Flight 101 LLC is a Michigan company that provides aircraft rental services at Oakland County International Airport in Waterford.
On June 21, 1013, Flight 101 LLC entered into a rental agreement with Troy Brothers and rented Brothers a Cessna CE172M, according to the lawsuit. It was understood Brothers would be flying the aircraft on that day. Brothers would be taking three passengers, including James Ray Haley, the lawsuit continues.
“At or about 1:40 p.m., Brothers requested taxi instruction for visual flight rules. Prior to the flight, no flight plan had been filed and no pre-flight checklist was accomplished,” the lawsuit reads.
The plane was cleared for takeoff on runway 09L, and lifted off, attaining an altitude of about 100 feet, according to the lawsuit.
“Shortly thereafter the pilot advised he was ‘a little overweight’ and would need to return and land.
The plane was then seen impacting the ground and a fire ensued with all occupants dying in the crash.
Brothers, said the lawsuit, conducted the takeoff with flaps extended. “As a consequence...the airplane experienced increased drag and lack of thrust.”
The lawsuit states that Flight 101 LLC is liable for the negligent acts of Brothers by virtue of their expressed or implied consent to his operation of the aircraft pursuant to Michigan Complied Laws, 259.180a et al.
The lawsuit states the flight school should have conducted a pre-flight checklist inspection of the aircraft including operation of the flaps, and that there was negligence related to the weight of the plane.
Because of the negligence, the lawsuit states that Steven Haley claims damages under the Wrongful Death Act including loss of companionship, pain and suffering, loss of parental guidance and support. The damages claimed exceed $25,000. | aerospace |

Islamabad: 21 bodies have been recovered so far from the wreckage of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight PK-661 that crashed on Wednesday with over 40 passengers aboard.
A government official on the scene said that there are unlikely to be any survivors.
"All of the bodies are burned beyond recognition. The debris is scattered," said Taj Muhammad Khan, a government official based in the Havelian region.
Global aviation watchdog Aviation Herald said that PK-661 crashed near Abbottabad due to engine problems. TV reports also point towards a fault in the left engine, and ascribe blame to a technical fault in the aircraft.
However, these claims have not been verified by the PIA, reports the Dawn.
"It remains to be seen if this was a technical fault. In Pakistan, there is a big question regarding whether international safety standards are followed when it comes to aircrafts," said Air Marshall Shahid Latif.
The ATR plane PK-661 with 47 people, including singer- turned-Islamic-preacher Junaid Jamshed, on board crashed near Havelian while en route to Islamabad from Chitral in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
The national carrier's flight departed from Chitral around 3:30 pm and was expected to land at Islamabad's Benazir Bhutto International Airport at around 4:40 pm.
A PIA spokesman confirmed that the pilot of the ill-fated plane had given a 'mayday' distress call to traffic control before it went off the radar.
"The ATR aircraft flight had 42 passengers, including nine women and two infants, along with two air hostesses and three pilots," he said.
The flight initially left from Peshawar for Chitral and was returning to Islamabad from there before it went off the radar.
The PIA spokesman said that Pakistan army had dispatched a helicopter and troops to the crash site.
Jamshed had gone to Chitral for religious preaching, his brother said. District Police Officer Abbottabad confirmed the aircraft crashed near Havelian between Majab and Piplian.
Eyewitnesses were quoted as saying by media reports that they had seen a plane crash in a hilly area near Havelian.
Clouds of smoke could be seen rising from the area of the reported crash. Ground rescue teams had been sent to the area, officials said.
"PIA's ATR-42 aircraft operating as PK-661, carrying around 40 persons lost its contact with the control tower on its way from Chitral to Islamabad a short while ago," PIA Spokesman Daniyal Gilani tweeted. "All resources are being mobilised to locate the aircraft."
Pakistan has had a poor air safety track record in recent years. In 2012, a Bhoja Airline plane, a Boeing 737 carrying 121 passengers and six crew members, crashed near Islamabad just before touchdown.
The worst aviation tragedy on Pakistani soil came in July 2010 when an Airbus 321 passenger jet operated by the private airline Airblue crashed into hills overlooking Islamabad. The flight was coming from Karachi.
All 152 people on board were killed in the accident, which occurred amid heavy rain and poor visibility.
Another deadly civilian plane crash involving a Pakistani jet occured in 1992 when a PIA Airbus A300 crashed into a cloud-covered hillside on its approach to the Nepalese capital Kathmandu, killing 167 people. | aerospace |

We’ve seen air traffic controller towers every time we pass an airport. These large towers are usually isolated from the main ground, but how much do you really know about the control systems? How do air traffic control systems work and what are they designed for? The aviation crew at our air traffic controller school take a closer look and provide an in-depth explanation about those towers in the sky and the people inside of them.
What Does an Air Traffic Control System Do?
The role of an air traffic controller is quite complex. They’re the person who works from the control tower, giving clearance for aircraft to take off and land safely in the airport. The air traffic controller works within a system, coordinating patterns to ensure aircraft keep a safe distance in the air and on the ground. The main goal of an air traffic controller is to ensure the safety of aircraft, pilots, flight attendants, and of course, the airline passengers.
An air traffic controller will communicate with pilots throughout their entire flight, relaying information back and forth between incoming and outgoing flights. They use a large system of computers, radars, and visual references during this communication. They must provide pilots with an in-depth explanation about the weather and should be prepared for any necessary flight path changes.
There are seven phases in air traffic control: preflight, takeoff, departure, in the air, descent, approach, and landing. Preflight is when the weather forecast is communicated from the air traffic control tower to the pilot and clearance is provided for the flight’s route. Takeoff is when the tower gives the airplane clearance to lift off the ground. Departure occurs when the plane is five miles beyond the airport and flight control is transferred to a Terminal Radar. In the air describes when the oversight is given to an Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), which is a radar system supervising flights within the area. Descent is when the plane is within 50 miles of its destination airport. During the approach, the TRACON controller fuses several streams of descending airplanes into one even pace. Finally, landing is when the local controller gives clearance for landing and directs pilots through taxiways.
TRACON and Air Traffic Control
According to the FAA, “TRACONs are FAA facilities that house air traffic controllers who use radar displays and radios to guide aircraft approaching and departing airports generally within a 30- to 50-mile radius up to 10,000 feet, as well as aircraft that may be flying over that airspace.” When landing at the destination airport within five miles, TRACON controllers hand off the aircraft to the local air traffic controllers and vice versa during departure. However, TRACON controllers aren’t responsible for landings and takeoffs.
Why Are Traffic Controllers Important?
The role of an air traffic controller is very important. Pilots cannot fly an airplane without the safety of an air traffic control system. In the event of an emergency, an air traffic controller will notify authorities and calmly handle the situation, thinking while under pressure and multitasking throughout the event.
To be an air traffic controller there are certain skills you must possess. You must be great under pressure, have the time and concentration to sit long hours while reading graphs and visuals, and you must also be proficient in math.
What Qualifications Do You Need to Be an Air Traffic Controller?
If you’re wondering how to become an air traffic controller, acquiring the proper certifications is a great start. You will need three years of schooling in the National Air Traffic Services (NATS). To begin, you must be at least 18 years of age or older. Speaking English as well as completion and passing a medical examination as well as a security clearance are also requirements.
With the proper air traffic controller qualifications, you will then be assigned to one of three specific air traffic control positions:
- Area Controller
- Approach Controller
- Aerodrome Controller
It takes a certain skill level and several requirements to become an air traffic controller. Although this is a great job, it is not meant for everyone. However, there are other aviation jobs similar to air traffic controllers that may better suit you if you are interested in a career in aviation.
An aircraft dispatcher is one of the other great professions to look into. Being an aircraft dispatcher requires patience and training. The excellent professors at Sheffield School of Aeronautics teach aircraft dispatcher courses for those interested in a career with airlines. Contact our aviation crew at the Sheffield School of Aeronautics if you have questions about the programs and certifications we offer and get started on your air traffic controller education!

A drone sighting stalled departures
The military are preparing to deploy anti-drone equipment after a drone sighting stalled departures earlier today.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said: “We are in contact with Heathrow Airport concerning the drone sighting.
"I have already spoken to both the Home Secretary and Defence Secretary and the military are preparing to deploy the equipment used at Gatwick at Heathrow quickly should it prove necessary.”
A spokeswoman from the Metropolitan Police said they were called at just after 5pm to "reports of a sighting of a drone in the vicinity of Heathrow Airport".
Flights from Heathrow were halted but resumed shortly after a drone was spotted flying in the area today.
Scotland Yard said it "received reports of a sighting of a drone in the vicinity of Heathrow airport" at about 5.05pm.
It added that "officers based at Heathrow" were investigating, along with colleagues from the airport.
This disruption comes after a drone led to Gatwick airport coming to a standstill last month.
Heathrow released a statement earlier today explaining that they stopped departures as a precautionary measure while investigations took place.
We are responding to a drone sighting at Heathrow and are working closely with the Met Police to prevent any threat to operational safety. As a precautionary measure, we have stopped departures while we investigate. We apologise to passengers for any inconvenience this may cause.

There are a handful of FW-190D-9s on this sheet. The usual late war colors for these planes was RLM 82/75/76, though there were exceptions, a couple of which are on this sheet. Though designed for the DML kit, there are several others that have been released since 1994 that would be just as good if not better.
First up is a plane assigned to II./JG 26. Like most planes it has a mottled fine and rudder. However, this one has the RLM 75 replaced by RLM 81.
Next is a JG 6 aircraft that has some of the upper surface color reaching to the side and in this case filling the fuselage insignia.
This feature is also on the next plane with a lot of the lighter upper surface color covering the sides. It was assigned to JG 2.
Fourth is another JG 6 plane, though this time with the Reich defense band overpainted.
Finally a real mixture of colors and parts with this II./JG 6 aircraft. The undersides are 'RLM 84' though the tail section is still in RLM 76. Left wing upper surface is in RLM 82/84 while the right is RLM 75/82. Upper surfaces are RLM 74/75 as is the upper surface of the elevators/stabilizers. Gear doors are RLM 75.
The sheet has fuselage bands for those that need them and there are enough insignia for two planes and data for three. An addendum sheet is provided for those that want to be sure of proper registration for some of the markings.

China’s Manned Space Engineering Office said the Tiangong-1 spacecraft “mostly” burned up in the atmosphere.
Any pieces that failed to disintegrate during the fiery trip back to Earth fell harmlessly into the ocean.
It took about two hours for the craft burn up once it hit Earth’s atmosphere.
There had been predictions parts of the space lab would land in the South Atlantic with some pieces posing a very small threat to people on the ground
Tiangong-1, was the size of a school bus and weighed eight and a half tons.
Tiangong-1, which means “Heavenly Palace” in English, was the largest manmade object to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere in a decade.
It was launched in 2011 and served as an orbiting laboratory for manned Chinese space missions until officials determined its lifespan was complete. It was taken out of service in 2016. | aerospace |

QZ8501: Co-pilot Remi Emmanuel Plesel was flying plane?
Jakarta – Indonesia’s National transportation Safety Commmittee announced Thursday that Air Asia QZ8051 had been piloted by co-pilot Remi Emmanuel Plesel, and not the captain as previously believed.
Plesel, 46, who was also the president of a French pilot association, had only completed 2,275 flying hours with Air Asia Indonesia as compared to Captain Irianto. The captain had clocked up 20,000 flying hours, of which 6,100 were with AirAsia on the Airbus 320 in his six years of service with the budget carrier.
Irianto had worked for another airline in Indonesia for 13 years prior, and started his flying career with the Indonesian Air Force.
The co-pilot was flying the ill-fated plane, as the captain monitored the flight that crashed in the Java Sea during a regular flight from Surabaya to Singapore, killing all 162 people on board.
Chief investigator for the committee Mardjono Siswosuwarno told media that the plane had been in good condition and that the crew were all qualified.
Indonesian aviation investigators are investigating why the Air Asia Flight went down in an area of heavy thunderstorms December 28 while planes in the vicinity completed their journeys safely.
Indonesian authorities have succeeded in recovering 70 bodies from the sea, leaving 92 still unaccounted for. | aerospace |

Owners were asked to return their drones with the promise of a full refund, while GoPro investigated why the 2500 pieces sold failed to complete a full flight. The reason for recalling was “lost power during operation“. Now, a video shows exactly what made the company stop selling drones at less than two weeks after launch #actionmagic
User @BrianWarholak uploaded a clip showcasing the error GoPro was talking about. At about 170 feet in the air, according to Brian, the drone suddenly loses power and lands hard on the ground. From that height, you better believe it crashed arms and propellers. To make things worse, this was his second flight with Karma before having to return the UAV and get his money back.
“2nd time flying my GoPro Karma, and it loses connection at about 170 feet and falls to the ground. I have contacted GoPro Support, and uploaded the pics and flight logs. Hoping they at least send me a replacement arm and props. Luckily, I only broke one of the arms and 2 props. Other than that, it works fine”, said Brian in the description of the video before other users gave him the news of the recall:

Yet, regardless of where they have come from or where they are flying to, they all have one thing in common: at one point in their journey, they have all travelled through an airport.Mangalwar ke vrat mein kya khana chahie
What keeps things moving, though, is the people that work there. In every airport across the globe, workers from a wide variety of backgrounds and capabilities fulfil an eclectic mix of roles and responsibilities that are all vitally important to the bigger picture — and you could be one of them.
Concessionaires are responsible for managing and operating the numerous restaurants, gift shops, coffee houses and brand stores that you encounter and peruse during those long waits for your flight. Their services are especially handy when you need a caffeine hit at 6am, just before you embark on that important business trip to Frankfurt.
You get to meet lots of interesting people passing through, and the extended opening hours mean there are plenty of opportunities for overtime. There are no educational requirements to be a baggage handler, but due to the labour-intensive nature of the job have you seen what some people pack?!
Although the exact requirements of the role can vary depending on the size of the airport, custodians manage the general upkeep of the airport each day. This includes upholding passenger zones such as waiting areas and toilets to a high standard of cleanliness, as well as performing other minor maintenance and janitorial tasks. Again, there are no educational requirements to be a custodian, although you should ideally have experience in a similar role elsewhere.
Cabin cleaners are responsible for cleaning the interiors of an aircraft in between flights, as well as restocking the food and drink trollies and getting rid of toilet waste. Known in the US as transportation security officers TSOssecurity handlers have been a part of the airport furniture for some time now.
Every year, they screen millions of passengers and their carry bags before they are permitted to board flights.How to Join/ Become Airport Ground Staff? Airport Ground Crew Job: Age, Qualification, Salary
These often include in-depth security checks. You will also need to demonstrate strong communication and customer service skills. Like cabin cleaners, the timeframe in which to complete these tasks is often limited.
Ticket agents are employed directly by airlines and are often the first people you meet at the airport. They check passengers in and assist with any administrative issues. They also liaise with flight dispatchers and cabin crew prior to take-off to finalise passenger lists.
Customer service skills are essential for this role, especially when there are delays or cancellations and passengers can become angry. Of course, on the flipside, there are also long hours, unruly passengers and unpredictable weather conditions to contend with, not to mention the highly competitive recruitment process.
Avionics technicians are responsible for inspecting, maintaining and repairing the electronics systems of aircraft, either through scheduled routine inspections or when particular issues arise.
With experience and further training, you can then explore more opportunities in the aeronautical and wider aerospace field. Flight dispatchers primarily liaise with pilots in order to create flight plans prior to take-off. These must take into account weather conditions, emergency planning and all aspects of fuel management.
Being able to multitask is hugely important, as well as the ability to work under pressure. They perform a similar role, inspecting, maintaining and repairing any issues with the plane, including the engine, landing gear and brakes.Ground staff jobs or the ground staff work typically for the aviation industry, where they have a lot of various roles and responsibilities that they have to fulfill. These responsibilities include ensuring the safety and comfort of the passengers while they board the plane and during the journey too.
It might seem to be a really fascinating job but at the same time, it is challenging too. Tasking care of each and every passenger could be hard because we know every individual has their own temperament and dealing with such individuals could be sometimes frustrating too.
But if you have a way with people then and you know you can tackle them then this is just the job for you. You can find Indian airlines jobs in abundance here.
But then the question arises what are the key roles and responsibilities of a ground staff because it is important to know the job roles before you make your mind to pursue this as a career. So, below is the brief job description of ground staff jobs profile that can give you a little knowledge about the responsibilities that a person has to fulfill in this job.Honda gx120
Responsibilities of professionals working as ground staff at airport. There is no such particular qualification needed to pursue your career in this field. This criterion is really important as they have to deal with several people and to understand and act accordingly it is necessary to have certain primary education. Even if there is no need to have a high qualification, people in this field need to have a good command over a language, for example, English along with the regional language of the place.
It is important to know a couple of languages to create a bond with the passengers. Though this seems to be an easy job, in reality, it is not. There are so many crucial situations that the ground staff has to deal with, which can be difficult for any other person but the staff does it really well because they undergo rigorous training and sessions which make them prepare for any situation that may come.
Therefore the salary is according to these criteria. In India, for a fresher, it is around 35k to 40k per month. And when the person gains some experience in this field then the salary increase many folds and on an average, a person can earn up to 1 lakh. Similarly, there are various types of jobs in different categories. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Along with helping the passengers they also have to work at the ticket counter. Helping in the reservation of the seats.

Whether you want to spend the majority of your time traveling from one place to another, or you're fascinated by the mechanics of aviation and want to learn about the inner workings of an aircraft, there's a job for you in aviation. Shortages of pilots and mechanics are creating several openings in these areas, but there are many other opportunities to explore that may cater uniquely to your interests and talents.
Image via Flickr by revedavion. The airline pilot shortage has been an ongoing story for half a decade. The Continental Express crash in led to a new mandate that first officers for commercial airlines must hold an Airline Transport Pilot certificate. The result is a more timely and costly education and thus a shortage of commercial airline pilots. Add to this the fact that a large portion of the workforce is reaching the age of retirement, and you have ample opportunities for job seekers willing to amass the required flight hours for this position.
Airline pilots need a bachelor's degree, commercial pilot's license, and Airline Transport Pilot certificate. Airline and commercial pilots also undergo on-the-job training, which typically includes six to eight weeks of ground school and 25 hours of flight time.
Aircraft mechanics and avionics technicians handle scheduled maintenance and repairs for aircraft. They evaluate flight data, diagnose problems, repair and replace components as needed, and inspect completed work. These professionals typically attend an Aviation Maintenance Technician School. There are several different certificates and licenses available that may determine the exact position that a mechanic or technician holds.
Boeing predicts that aviation maintenance technicians will be in high demand in coming years, with a need foremployees in this field by Air traffic controllers coordinate air traffic by issuing landing and takeoff instructions, responding to emergencies, and providing pilots with essential information. From runway closures to weather updates, air traffic controllers need to understand everything going on in their sphere of control.
While the most important concern for these professionals is obviously safety, they must also strive to maintain efficient and timely dispatches when all is running smoothly.
This program is available as part of a two- or four-year degree program. Upon completion, students must pass the Air Traffic Standardized Aptitude Test, which takes about eight hours. This is an incredibly lucrative job, but highly competitive for the same reason. Applicants need a bachelor's degree, preferably in aviation management. Aviation safety inspectors typically have previous experience as a pilot, navigator, repairman, or other aviation professionals.
Aviation safety inspectors may work in one of two specialties.

The use of GPS positioning satellites, in a global real-time positioning, navigation system, known as the global satellite positioning system, referred to as GPS. GPS is an all-around, all-weather, full-time, high-precision satellite navigation system developed and developed by the US Department of Defense. It provides global users with low-cost, high-precision navigation information such as three-dimensional position, velocity, and precise timing. The application of satellite communication technology in the field of navigation has greatly improved the level of informatization in the earth society and effectively promoted the development of the digital economy. GPS can provide vehicle positioning, anti-theft, anti-robbery, driving route monitoring and call command. To achieve all of the above functions must have three elements: GPS terminal, transmission network and monitoring platform.
The original GPS program was born under the leadership of the United States Joint Planning Agency, which placed 24 satellites on three orbits that were 120 degrees apart. There are 8 satellites in each orbit, and 6 to 9 satellites can be observed at any point on the earth. In this way, the accuracy of the coarse code can reach 100m, and the precision of the fine code can be 10m. Due to the budget compression, the GPS plan had to reduce the number of satellite launches, instead of distributing 18 satellites on six tracks that were 60 degrees to each other. However, this solution did not guarantee satellite reliability. In 1988, the last modification was made: 21 work stars and 3 spare stars work on 6 tracks that are 60 degrees apart. This is how GPS satellites work.
The GPS navigation system is a radio navigation and positioning system that provides information such as three-dimensional position, three-dimensional velocity, and the like to all over the world based on 24 positioning satellites around the world. It consists of three parts, one is the ground control part, consisting of a master control station, a ground antenna, a monitoring station, and a communication aid system. The second is the space part, which consists of 24 satellites and is distributed over 6 orbital planes. The third is the user device part, which consists of a GPS receiver and a satellite antenna. Civilian positioning accuracy can be up to 10 meters. | aerospace |

455th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan -- Despite inclement weather and the possibility of snowfall, a new runway was opened and celebrated by Air Force and Army personnel, civilian contractors, and Afghan officials Dec. 20.
The $68 million project was executed by Contrak International from Cairo, Egypt with an Afghan workforce supervised by the Army Corps of Engineers and Air Force personnel.
"Bagram Airfield has been here in this valley for decades," said Brig. Gen. Christopher Miller,
An A-10 Thunderbolt II assigned to the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing lifts off the new runway opened Dec. 20 at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan. The new runway is 2,000 feet longer than the previous runway and can support all of the aircraft in the U.S. inventory
455th Air Expeditionary Wing commander. "Afghan irmen have flown from this field in years past and I look forward to the day when it again can be a purely Afghan Airfield, serving whatever roles the people of Afghanistan choose,"
"This is a vital runway and an essential part of Afghanistan's future," he added.
The runway project began in 2004, when it became evident that the older Russian-built runway was not able to support the continuous operations in and out of the airfield. The runway was being subjected to use beyond its capability. On average, the airfield saw a landing or take-off once every four minutes.
"The old runway could serve for years to come, but it needs daily repair by our Airmen to keep it in active service," said General Miller.
Utilizing a work force of Afghan nationals upwards of 400 working each and every day, Contrack International worked closely with their military partners to build a runway and aircraft ramp capable of handling most aircraft in the military inventory.
The new runway is 2000 feet longer than the older and is 11 inches thicker, which gives it the ability to handle larger aircraft if necessary, such as the C-5 Galaxy or the Boeing 747.
"This runway is designed to accept the majority of aircraft in the military inventory and mainly in place to accept 'medium load' aircraft; however, it can accept the larger aircraft, but it will wear out faster if heavy airplanes use it on a regular basis," said Lt. Col. Eric Mulkey, CENTAF Construction Management Officer.
Speaking to the large crowd, General Miller emphasized the importance of the airfield in the continuing effort to secure a modern infrastructure for the country.
"This is a milestone in Bagram Airfield's ability to support the battle for a strong and stable Afghanistan. This is a concrete and lasting expression of America's commitment to the future of the Afghan people," said General Miller. | aerospace |

Jack Deutscher, Madison Tower/TRACON
On February 21, 2013, Jack Deutscher, a controller of 12 years, was working approach at Madison Tower/TRACON (MSN) when the chief pilot at nearby Watertown Municipal Airport called to report a distressed pilot reporting trouble over the airport’s UNICOM frequency.
Deutscher issued a squawk code and a frequency to be relayed to the pilot of the distressed aircraft.
The pilot then contacted Madison Approach, stating he was disoriented and needed help. Earlier in the day, he had taken off for a few touch-and-gos, but flew into worsening weather and now, due to icing, he could barely see. His plane was getting harder to control, and he didn’t know where he was.
Deutscher issued a vector to the pilot in an attempt to get him back into Watertown Airport, but increasingly low ceilings and poor visibility prevented that. Since the pilot had only one or two IFR lessons years ago, it would be nearly impossible for him to land in those conditions. Deutscher decided to vector the aircraft to MSN and attempt an ASR approach, during which air traffic control gives a pilot every heading and altitude.
During the ASR approach, the aircraft strayed from the headings Deutscher had given. As the aircraft neared Madison, Deutscher guided the pilot over the airport a number of times to help him catch sight of it, which was increasingly difficult because the pilot could only see it through the small corner of his windscreen that wasn’t covered in ice. The tower, in an attempt to help the pilot, had put all of the airport lights on their highest setting.
Deutscher: November Niner Delta Mike, you’re a half mile away from the Madison Airport. It’s just ahead and to your left. If you can see anything, let me know. The lights are all the way up on all the runways.
N229DM: We’re doing just a little bit out of the corner of the window and barely.
Deutscher: Alright, so you’re not seeing the airport at all? I mean I can take you out for an ILS but I’m going to need to have you climb. You’re getting really low.
N229DM: I got it full throttle. We’re not going nowhere.
Finally, the pilot saw one of the runways through a gap in the ice and went in for his last-chance landing – the pilot was flying full throttle at only 95 knots and was still losing speed because the plane was so heavy with ice.
When the pilot was lined up to land, the tower controllers called Deutscher to let him know. Deutscher relayed the information to the pilot, but by then the ice on the Piper’s antenna was breaking up their communications. Deutscher stayed on the landline with the tower to hear whether the pilot landed. After a few tense moments, the tower reported the pilot’s safe landing. | aerospace |

Once again, members of McConnellsburg High School Class of 1948 came together to refresh their bonds on October 16, 2011. The occasion took place at Weaver’s restaurant in Hancock. Storytelling episodes of the past year varied from an Alaskan cruise-ship adventure to one class member announcing that a relative had captured a senior championship high jump event. Another member announced publication of a book dealing with local family genealogy. Also coming into play was a hospital confinement. One member and her grandson journeyed by auto from California to Pennsylvania and another member spoke of her beautiful rose garden. Of course politics entered the scene from the perspective of Texan Rick Perry running for his party’s nomination.
All members were presented with a copy of a space flight certificate autographed by astronaut Chris Ferguson, commander of the last Space Shuttle Atlantis’ Mission STS-135 that occurred July 2011. The certificate represents NASA’s Face-in-Space program that invited the public to fly a digital picture into space and return. Last year’s group picture was submitted on behalf of all class members and accepted by NASA and rode “piggy back” on the last Space Shuttle mission.
All attendees spent quality time together and agreed to meet again next year. | aerospace |

The most important short-term goal of the program is to make a hard landing on the Moon with a spacecraft using national and original technologies in 2023. While Turkish engineers work day and night for this purpose, all details, including the engines of the rockets to be fired in space, are meticulously focused on.
MINISTER VARANK EXAMINED THE STUDIES ON SITE
Varank inspected the test area before launch, received information about the assembly and pre-flight preparation stages of SORS.
“TARGET 100 KILOMETER LIMIT”
Recalling that one of the goals of the National Space Program is to make a hard landing on the Moon in 2023, Varank told AA correspondent, “We have now started the design of our spacecraft.” said.
Giving information about the tests carried out by Delta V in Sinop, Varank said, “The ultimate goal here is to be able to cross the space limit, which we call 100 kilometers, with hybrid engine rockets.” used the phrase.
Stating that a foreign company (Virgin Galactic) has recently traveled in space using hybrid engines, Varank said, “Here, if we can test this engine and give it a history in space, we will have achieved an important expansion in the field of space with these hybrid engines. Turkey will be one step ahead in this area. ” he said.
Explaining that the work carried out for the “Moon Mission” is progressing successfully, Varank said, “We are getting closer to the moon step by step. We are getting closer to our goals in the lunar mission.” said.
Expressing that they will accelerate the process of sending people into space, which is another goal of the National Space Program, Varank expressed that they are aware of the interest in this mission.
“HIGH PERFORMANCE, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY”
Delta V General Manager Karabeyoğlu emphasized that the SORS, which is ignited, has one of the most advanced technologies used in the world, “We are talking about an engine that uses liquid oxygen and paraffin fuel, burns very quickly and offers high performance.” said.
TUA President Yıldırım, stating that they have made progress in all 10 targets in the National Space Program, said, “When we come to 2030, Turkey will take its place as a space power and will be one of the 7-8 countries in the world.” used the phrase.
COUNTS BACK FROM 10
After the completion of the pre-launch filling process and other preparations of the probe, which uses liquid oxygen as an oxidizer, Minister Varank and his entourage moved to the launch control building.
After the final security checks here, it was counted down from 10 and the launch test of SORS was done. The probe rocket launched with the command of Minister Varank successfully passed the test in Sinop.
Delta V’s work on increasing the rocket’s altitude continues. SORS will have more oxidizer capacity with its enlarged tank. Thus, the launched rocket will be able to reach altitudes much higher than 100 kilometers.
It is aimed that the ground tests of the large oxidizer tank, whose production has been completed, will be carried out in August and used for launches to be held in September.
PREVIOUS TESTS ALSO SUCCESSFUL
The vertical firing test of SORS’s propulsion system and the hybrid rocket engine planned to be used in the “Hard Landing on the Moon” mission were carried out in April, and the tests were completed successfully.
SORS will be an important building block for the “Moon Mission”, as well as demonstrating Turkey’s success and technological competence in hybrid rocket engines. The critical components of the hybrid engine to be used in the Moon Mission will be taken to the space environment and tested with the SORS system, and their suitability for space missions will be confirmed.
HYBRID ROCKET ENGINES MORE GREEN
Hybrid rocket engines are innovative rocket systems obtained by combining solid fuel and liquid oxidizer, and have the advantages of safety, cost and being more environmentally friendly, which are not found in solid or liquid systems.
These systems have become demanded in commercial space activities where cost is a priority, and in new application areas such as space tourism where safety and environmental sensitivity are at the forefront as well as cost. Thanks to hybrid fuel rockets, it will be possible to develop new generation launch systems, upper stage propellant engines and suborbital systems. | aerospace |

Unusual flight attendant requirements
Everything about the experience works together to provide this sort of surreal feeling. Being up among the clouds and secluded from the world, we rely on the cabin crew for essentially everything. The pilots and flight attendants are our keepers for those hours in the sky. And for some reason, flight attendants are notoriously thought of as sexy, whether because of the uniform, or maybe because we look to them for everything from sustenance to safety while up in the air. It is not difficult to find sexy airline stewardess photos, but those easily found are more often than not just models in costumes, either for Halloween or perhaps a men's magazine.
The warning comes following an onslaught of sexually explicit advertising campaigns released by airlines around the world. Earlier this week Russian start-up airline Avianova launched an advertising campaign showing bikini-clad flight attendants washing planes. Secretary of the Flight Attendants Association of Australia Jo-Ann Davidson said raunchy advertisements are offensive and place cabin crew at risk. Airlines are increasingly turning to raunchy advertisements in a bid to lure travellers to the skies, but risk offending their passengers in the process. | aerospace |

The press office of the Azerbaijani President said on Tuesday that “Aliyev made a phone call to the Russian President and expressed his condolences over the tragedy of the downing of the Russian Air Force helicopter on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border.”
The statement read: “the Azerbaijani President apologized to his Russian counterpart for the tragic accident.”
The statement said that the Azerbaijani air defense units thought the Russian helicopter was part of the Armenian Air Force because of the darkness.
Aliyev stressed that “those responsible for the accident will be punished and Moscow will be informed of this.”
On Monday, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that a helicopter belonging to the Russian military forces had fallen over Armenian territory. The chopper, which was identified as an Mi-24, crashed over Armenia and resulted in the death of two crew members.
In a related context, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry affirmed that “the Azerbaijani side apologizes to the Russian side regarding this tragic accident, which was not directed against Russia, stressing that Baku is ready to pay compensation to Russia for shooting down the helicopter.”
In this regard, the Russian Foreign Ministry, commenting on the statement of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry regarding the downing of the Russian helicopter, said that Moscow evaluates positively Baku’s immediate recognition of the downing of the Russian Mi-24 military helicopter.
On September 27, armed clashes broke out on the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces in the disputed Karabakh region and adjacent areas, in the most dangerous escalation between the two parties in nearly three decades, amid mutual accusations of starting fighting and bringing in foreign militants. | aerospace |

Solar Impulse 2 (SI2), the world's first completely solar-powered aircraft to attempt a transoceanic flight, has finally begun its flight across the Pacific Ocean. The flight from Nanjing, China to Hawaii will cover 5,000 miles and will take an astounding six days to complete. In fact, this will be the longest solo flight in history if it's completed as planned. Onboard are a week's worth of food and water and Captain Andre Borschberg's seat can recline into a bed. He'll be able to take naps once in a while, but never for more than twenty minutes at a time. The flight had been delayed for months as very specific weather and wind patterns are required for the mission to be successful, and Mother Nature simply didn't want to cooperate. The team was finally able to begin their journey early Sunday morning. You can follow the journey live from inside the cockpit and Mission Control in Monaco on the Solar Impulse website. The feed itself is actually pretty entertaining. Last time I checked in, Captain Borschberg was singing to himself. I can imagine how a six day solo flight could get pretty boring. The aircraft is currently on a five month mission to circumnavigate the globe and prove that solar and other renewable energy technology has a future in the transportation industry and the World at large. SI2 took off on its first leg from Abu Dhabi to Muscat, Oman in March and has since stopped in India, Myanmar and China. After the current leg to Hawaii, it will fly to Phoenix, somewhere in the Midwestern USA (depending on weather conditions), New York City, Southern Europe, and Northern Africa before returning to Abu Dhabi. Solar Impulse 2 is nothing short of an engineering marvel. Its wingspan is about 250 feet across yet its lightweight carbon-fiber fuselage means that it only weighs about 5,000 pounds. The large surface area of the wing allows for the use of almost 20,000 photovoltaic cells. It only travels at about 90 miles per hour, but the fact that it is 100 percent reliant on energy from the sun, and thus requires absolutely zero fuel whatsoever, allows it to complete long-haul flights such as today's from China to Hawaii. The goal of Solar Impulse's round-the-world flight is to prove to the world that responsible energy sources can be used in ways that have always been thought of as impossible. I mean, if they can fly around the world with zero fuel, is there really anything that can't be done? In an era when most news is centered around world-conflict or politics, it is refreshing to see a group of adventurers that is dedicated to creating a better future for all of us on a global scale. Follow along with Solar Impulse on their website, Facebook, or Twitter for updates on the mission. | aerospace |

2011 Cirrus SR22T: Commemorating 10 Years Of GA Innovation
Cirrus refines the SR22T with a 2011 Limited Edition
The SR22T features Garmin's Synthetic Vision to create a three-dimensional view of the world outside the airplane on the pilot's PFD. The SVT includes terrain warning, traffic indicators, flight-path markers, runways and airport signs, and Garmin's cool "highway in the sky" feature that makes flying the airplane almost like a video game. Just steer the airplane "through" the magenta boxes depicted on the PFD, and you're where you need to be. This version even has a guide for turns, so you control your pitch to match the yellow line depicted on the PFD, and you get a level, controlled turn every time.
The infrared Enhanced Vision System is really cool if you've never used it (and most of us haven't). With infrared technology pioneered by the military, sensors on the airplane allow the pilot to see the world at night or in low visibility. It gives pilots a real-time unobstructed view of terrain, airport surfaces and everything around the airplane. Think of it as X-ray vision for pilots. Perspective puts it on the MFD, so combined with all the information on the PFD, there aren't too many low-visibility or night situations that would prevent normal operations. Playing with the system gets your mind racing at the possibilities.
Control pressures are firm, and I used lots of trim to keep the forces balanced. Though I wouldn't consider the SR22T to be nimble, it maneuvers very well, but the stick forces are moderate. I hand-flew the climb to get to know the airplane, and I felt comfortable at once. We switched to the autopilot while Goble showed me features of the Perspective, including the engine screen with its plethora of information.
With the turbocharged TCM TSIO-550K in the Special Edition SR22T, we were turning 315 hp, and it was smooth and quiet. Goble showed how to set up the performance so it becomes a single-lever operation once set. It makes leaning a snap and, like other Cirrus innovations, makes the workload lighter.
With the SR22T's amphitheater visibility, it makes the whole interior calm and airy. The contrast of dark and light gives the effect of a naturally lit gallery.
Since part of our flying day included a photo mission with both the new SR22T and SF50 Vision jet, I got to experience flying side by side with the V-tailed beauty. Our SR22 pilot for the mission was Jens Hoepfel, one of only three test pilots on the SF50. Though Hoepfel had told me that the jet's speeds were very similar to the SR22T, it was remarkable to look out the window and see the jet in formation with us at near-cruise speeds. It's a testament to the SR22 that we flew the jet's wing for quite a while without even pushing the airplane hard. One gets a sense of the lineage of both machines, and it's not hard to imagine the SR22 as merely a stepping stone to the Vision jet. Another odd sensation was that we could barely hear the jet, even just off our wing. Cirrus has seemingly perfected quiet operations.
The SR22T is wildly successful because it appeals to those who use aviation as a tool—for business or for pleasure. The SR22T—and especially this Limited Edition model with every bell and whistle that Cirrus offers—is an airplane that can help steer aviation from a highly specialized pastime for an elite few, to a universally appealing activity that can realistically replace the arduous world of airline travel for those who can afford it. Combining safety and innovation, the SR22T is a game changer in the industry. Here's to what's coming next for Cirrus.

Whenever a solar powered vehicle comes to life, it often has to prove its worth by completing some feat of endurance. The same holds true for the Solar Impulse 2, a solar powered plane that aims to promote green energy and cost effective air travel by completing an ambitious round-the-world trip. The plane will be flown by Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg, who will certainly put his own body to the test as he tries to fly around the world.
It's been a 13 year journey for Borschberg as he has been developing the Solar Impulse 2 plane with fellow Swiss pilot Bertrand Piccard.
Capable of travelling between 50 km/h to 100 km/h, the Solar Impulse 2 features a 13 kW electric motor, as well as several rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries, all of which draw power from 17 000 solar cells located on its wings.
The Solar Impulse 2 departed from the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi yesterday, and is destined to touch down in Oman to complete the first leg of its trip. After this the Solar Impulse 2 will make 12 stops in total, with the amount of flight time expected to last a combined total of 25 days.
It is set to take a total of five months to complete its journey, and the plane will travel through the Arabian Sea, India, Myanmar, China, Hawaii and New York among others. The longest portion of the trip will be an estimated 8500 km, as the Solar Impulse 2 will travel across the Pacific Ocean in its journey from China to Hawaii.
For those interested in monitoring Borschberg's progress over the next five months, head here.

James Fryer doesn’t recommend telling that to the daredevil sky captains who’ll be performing at this year’s Al Ain Aerobatic Show.
No sooner than the aeroplane had been invented, man became bored of simply flying from A to B in a calm and sensible manner, and instead decided to test his new found flying machine to the limit, simultaneously wowing those below with thrilling displays of aerobatic manoeuvrability.
Wilbur and Orville Wright were the first to perform aerobatic stunts in the early 1900s, and by World War I all of the basic aerobatic tricks had not only been ticked off, but were routinely being performed by the courageous dog fighters of the day. The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) is as old as the first aerobatic stunt and will once again be involved with the Al Ain Air Show where spectators will be given the chance to enjoy aeronautic acrobatics including amazing combinations of loops, rolls, spins and hammerheads (forcing the aircraft into a vertical descent) – taken to the very extremes of mechanic and human limits as the pilots duck and dive through the UAE’s ever-blue skies.
The FAI World Grand Prix event will also be performed to music (selected by the competitors) with tunes fighting for attention alongside the sound from the aeroplanes that fills the skies like the roar of thunder. It’s much like synchronised swimming, only in this case it’s not girls in swimming costumes and nose clips, but huge chunks of metal travelling at breakneck speeds with only their engines to keep them afloat in the sky. The piston, turbine and jet engine aeroplanes dancing in the air will all be judged by an expert panel who’ll be deciding which solo pilot, civilian formation team or military formation team is the king of the sky.
Highlights from this year’s military teams will hopefully include the Royal Saudi Air Force’s Saudi Falcons with their Red Arrows style smoke display and repertoire of snap rolls, loops, splits, mirror rolls and Cuban eights, the UAE Airforce putting its latest jets to the test and the Indian Airforce’s elite pilots taking to the skies in the form of the nine-aircraft flying formation Suryakiran team.
Individual top guns to watch out for include Freestyle World Aerobatic Champion Klaus Schrodt, test pilot Jurgis Kairys, famous for being able to make his aircraft hover like a helicopter, wing walking duo Bob and Kenny Forsythe and Dan Buchanan, a man who overcame paraplegia, returned to his passion and is legendary for his dazzling hang glider performances.
Civilian aerobatic display teams set to keep the crowd’s eyes permanently fixed on the sky include the UK’s Honda Dream Team, climbing 3,000ft straight up like a rocket, the Breitling Jet Team, dazzling spectators with their five jet aeroplanes and the X-Team, performing an array of stunt flying and pyrotechnics from their Masters Of X-Treme show.
But, before you fork out for a Cessna aeroplane and try your hand at a loop-the-loop, you should know that all of the pilots and human-aeroplanes (as they like to be known) taking part in the event have trained to be at the very height of their profession – the pilots need to maintain the flow of blood to their brains as they pull off stunts and the force of gravity or G-force increases by eight times.
As if all of the above didn’t provide enough of a fun-filled star-gazing fest, this January’s five day show will also see displays from the UAE parachute team, Nadia H AdamAli – the self-proclaimed only professional Arab woman skydiver with a whopping 900 jumps under her belt, and up to 70 of the finest free-flying skydivers from around the globe who’ll be joining together in an attempt to make the largest ever airborne formation, breaking the current world record.
Fasten your seatbelts and take off for one of the greatest spectator events in the UAE. Chocks away for man and his miraculous flying machine.

Eecorted we began conducting sg-71 SR intercepts, the escorter began a special air safety program and we all underwent an intense series of emergency procedure checks in the simulator, because we were flying at the outer edges of the envelope and at higher risk.

The first thing P-O Eldh noticed was that the sky had suddenly become dark. The empty weapons pylons are visible.
The centreline pylon was the only wet pylon and was usually occupied by an external fuel tank. A pair of air-to-air missiles were intended to be placed on the outboard wing pylons, which were more lightweight than the other attachment points. Various munitions could be carried, such as several types of rockets: The KCA was carried, along with rounds of ammunition, in a conformal pod under the fuselage.

Over the long term, the Viggen required 22 man hours per flight hour of maintenance work at the depot level, and nine man hours per flight hour at the front line. Despite heavy jamming from the SR, target illumination was maintained by feeding target location from ground-based radars to the fire-control computer in the Viggen.

The rule entailed that an airline based in India will need to have at least five years of experience of flying within the country and 20 aircraft on its fleet before it qualifies to fly overseas.
Ten years later, the government allowed foreign carriers to buy up to 49% in an Indian airline paving the way for Etihad to buy 24% stake in Jet Airways and AirAsia to set up an airline in India in partnership with Tata.
Soon after, the new entrants, who were keen to fly overseas, started lobbying for the 5/20 norm to be relaxed, but the legacy carriers firmly opposed the move fearing competition.
It was in 2016, when the Cabinet approved the National Civil Aviation Policy that the 5/20 norm was replaced with 0/20 allowing airlines to launch international operations with no domestic experience but at least 20 aircraft (or 20% of its entire fleet size whichever is higher) for domestic operations, in a move that was expected to benefit both AirAsia India and Vistara, which is a joint venture between Tata and Singapore Airlines. While Vistara has announced that it will be launching international operations in the second half of 2018 after it recently inducted its 20th aircraft, AirAsia has only 18 planes on its fleet and intends to launch flights on international routes in early 2019. | aerospace |

Parts of the device in titanium do not meet the standards of strength required for the 787 built in the last three years.
“We have received a notification from one of our suppliers regarding some parts that were not manufactured correctly,” a Boeing spokesperson told AFP.
“An investigation is underway, but we have determined that this does not present an immediate safety hazard to the fleet of aircraft already in service,” he continued.
“The planes which have not yet been delivered will be reshuffled as it should be before their delivery to the customers”, also affirmed the spokesperson.
This is not the first incident involving the 787 Dreamliner.
Manufacturing defects were first discovered at the end of summer 2020 on the connection of a portion of the fuselage as well as on the horizontal stabilizer.
In mid-July, Boeing announced that it had discovered another defect on the nose of the aircraft, which forced the company to suspend deliveries and reduce production rates.
The safety of Boeing planes is at the heart of the concerns of the American air regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), especially since the two close accidents of the 737 MAX which killed 346 in 2018 and 2019.
According to Wall Street Journal, the FAA opened an investigation on Aug. 18 into possible breaches of quality standards by Boeing in its commercial aircraft division.
The regulator accuses the manufacturer in particular of allowing unqualified employees to approve quality controls.
Asked by AFP, Boeing declined to comment on an ongoing investigation. The FAA did not react immediately. | aerospace |

The day also witnessed the handing over of FOC Certificate and Release to Service Document (RSD) to the Chief of Air Staff in the presence of Defence Secretary and CMD, HAL.
FOC involves addition of key capabilities to the Initial Operational Clearance (IOC) aircraft which in main are Beyond Visual Range Missile capabilities. Air-to-Air Refuelling, Air-to-Ground FOC earmarked weapons and general flight envelope expansion.
The RSD provides the capabilities, features and technologies that FOC standard Aircraft will have on Induction into IAF. The FOC standard Aircraft drawings have already been handed over to Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) to start production after incorporating key changes over the IOC standard Aircraft.
Initial Operational Clearance (IOC) of the aircraft took place in 2013 and IOC standard aircraft were inducted into IAF No. 45 Squadron, in July 2016. The IAF Squadron has since flown over
About 1,500 sorties successfully on the aircraft. It is a proud day for all the agencies involved in the design, development and production of the aircraft i.e., Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), the autonomous society of DRDO as the design agency and HAL as the manufacturer. Many other DRDO laboratories such as ADE, GTRE, LRDE and CEMILAC , as well as other agencies such as BEL, CSIR, DG-AQA, and private sector agencies have contributed in the journey of LCA.

2021 brings a host of new requirements for both commercial and hobbyist UAS operators, the most important and hotly debated rulings mandate equipping Remote ID technology, and also allow for Operations Over People in certain scenarios. Buried within the Operations Over People ruling is a shift in the FAA’s policy that has required Part 107 operators to undergo the tedious and often confusing process to obtain a Part 107.29 Daylight Operations Waiver.
Starting March 16th, 2021 the rule will go into full effect and allow Part 107 operators to fly at night, defined by the FAA as the time between the end of evening civil twilight (30 minutes after official sunset) and the beginning of morning civil twilight (30 minutes before official sunrise). Instead of requiring submission of a Daylight Operations Waiver to the FAA, which has been the most popular and also the most granted waiver submission since Part 107 has been released, the operator only needs to meet two requirements:
- The remote pilot in command must complete an updated initial knowledge test or online recurrent training, and
- The small unmanned aircraft must have lighted anti-collision lighting visible for at least three (3) statute miles that has a flash rate sufficient to avoid a collision.
It is expected that the updated initial knowledge test and recurrent training curriculum will be available next month, operators need to make sure that they have proof of this training available if they plan to operate at night. Training will cover human factor considerations when operating at night and other operational considerations. In addition, the operator is responsible for verifying their anti collision lighting meets visibility requirements before operating at night. Just as in manned aviation, the intensity may be reduced at the decision of the RPIC due to certain conditions.Interestingly, the FAA does not require position lighting for night operations, which give the operator situational awareness to determine the direction of the UAS flight path. Keep this in mind if you’re new to night flight! Also, the FAA did not set minimum requirements on flash rate for the anti-collision light, so use your best judgement.
Iris Automation has requested additional clarification on how the new rule will interact with Low Altitude and Notification Capability (LAANC) services, which typically required both an airspace authorization and a waiver. As an extra layer of safety, reach out to your local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) for clarification before you attempt to request a LAANC authorization at night. Keep in mind that even if you don’t meet these new requirements, the FAA may still issue a night waiver if you’re able to prove the operation can be conducted safely.

There are many reasons why a person or organization would want to fly a drone at night—either for operations that specifically occur at night, such as delivering emergency medical equipment, to avoid other aircraft since there are fewer flights at night, or to avoid flying over people. In order to fly at night legally in the United States, a Daylight Waiver (specifically a waiver from Part 107.29 – Daylight Operations) is required. You can apply for a Daylight Waiver from Part 107.29 by submitting an application on the FAA’s Dronezone website.
Part 107 are the regulations governing the commercial drone space. When it comes to flying a drone at night, the FAA based these laws on the manned private pilot regulations Part 61 and Part 91, which prohibit flying during the night without special training and instruments. Night is defined by the FAA as the time between the end of evening civil twilight (when the geometric center of the sun reaches 6° below the horizon, or 30 minutes after official sunset) and the beginning of morning civil twilight (when the geometric center of the sun is 6° below the horizon, or 30 minutes before official sunrise). Neither private planes nor commercial drones may fly during this time without anti-collision lights as specified by the FAA, and operating a drone requires a Part 107.29 Daylight Operations waiver.
Daylight Operations waivers are the most common Part 107 waiver applied for and one of the more simple applications. The waiver is called the Daylight Operation waiver because when you ask for permission to fly at night, you’re asking to have the Part 107 rule requiring UAS pilots to fly only during daylight hours temporarily waived (Part 107.29). The application asks, in part, how a drone operator will maintain visibility and knowledge of the position, altitude, etc of their UAS during darkness and the collision avoidance mitigations that have been taken to ensure a high level of safety.
Considerations when applying for a Daylight Operations waiver
The FAA has increased the speed of their turnaround for Part 107.29 waivers, so although the process isn’t typically as long as it does for other waivers, it still takes time to go through the process, so it needs to be submitted early if you have a night operation plan. Particularly since the majority of applications are denied and you will likely need to submit additional information to re-apply. As with all waiver applications, it helps to be as thorough as you can about your safety plans, such as having a night visual observer, having the appropriate steps taken into account for reduced visibility at night, and making sure you’re operating your drone well away from the public and especially away from groups of people.
If you did write in a visual observer for your waiver to increase safety of the operation, there would be no difference between what constitutes a night vs daylight visual observer. They do not need to be licensed in anything, and should NOT use any type of optical aids to maintain sight of the UAS. The FAA does not allow these aids in other visual observer requirements, as that significantly starts to muddy the waters on the definition of line-of-sight. Reduced visibility measures include having anti-collision lights, which are (1) red or white and (2) blinking/strobing and must be visible for three statute miles or more.
By default the waiver is for a one-time only operation, such as for a concert. If you are pursuing ongoing commercial missions, make sure to word your waiver in such a way that you can attempt to get a permanent Daylight Operations waiver for night capable UAS operations. | aerospace |

from the all-the-'news'-that's-fit-to-cram-into-a-24-hour-sprawl dept
CNN and Fox had the market cornered on ridiculous airplane crash theories, up until recently. When Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 just up and vanished, CNN produced wall-to-wall coverage seemingly cribbed from low-rent conspiracy theory sites. UFO? Black hole? Any and all theories were entertained.
Fox News hasn't exactly been the epitome of restraint, either. While it managed to avoid following CNN down these plane crash rabbit holes, it too has entertained some theories better left to operations that don't claim "news" to be a major part of their offerings. Fox News host Anna Kooiman suggested the metric system was to blame, what with kilometers being different than miles and Celsius and Fahrenheit not seeing eye-to-eye, potentially leading to some sort of in-flight calculation error.
MSNBC has decided it won't let its competition be the only "news" agencies spouting ridiculous theories. In an effort to get out ahead of the facts -- black box recordings indicated the co-pilot of the aircraft deliberately crashed the plane after locking the commanding pilot out of the cockpit -- MSNBC allowed the following theory to be presented -- completely unchallenged -- by one of its guests.
“There’s one possibility that no one has brought up, and I wonder could this be a hacking incident?” former commercial pilot Jay Rollins told MSNBC’s Diaz-Balart. “This is very similar in my mind to what happened when the U.S. lost that drone over Iran. The same thing, suddenly the aircraft was responding to outside forces…"Now, hacking a plane isn't impossible. At 2013's Hack in the Box conference, German security consultant Hugo Teso used his own app -- PlaneSploit -- to demonstrate that an Android phone could be used to reroute a plane, send it diving towards the ground or to set off every alarm in the aircraft.
Rollins said that the plane’s descent was “worrisome” because “it makes me think about hacking, some sort of interference into the computer system.”
Or not. Teso's demonstration involved sending flight information to airborne planes with these instructions (in a simulated environment, of course) via ACARS (Aircraft Communications and Response Addressing System) to the FMS (Flight Management System). But there were multiple problems with his plan. First of all, the flight computer has to accept the new instructions and, secondly, pilots would have to be unable to override bad instructions. Neither of which are a distinct possibility.
Patrick Smith, another commercial airline pilot, albeit one far less likely to openly speculate on "hacked" planes than Jay Rollins, pointed out the flaws in Teso's hack.
The problem is, the FMS — and certainly not ACARS — does not directly control an airplane the way people think it does, and the way, with respect to this story, media reports are implying. Neither the FMS nor the autopilot flies the plane. The crew flies the plane through these components. We tell it what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. Whatever data finds its way into the FMS, and regardless of where it’s coming from, it still needs to make sense to the crew. If it doesn’t, we’re not going to allow the plane, or ourselves, to follow it.So, the problem isn't that hacking is impossible. It's just very, very unlikely. And in this case, hacking had nothing to do with the plane crash.
The sorts of disruptions that might arise aren’t anything a crew couldn’t notice and easily override. The FMS cannot say to the plane, “descend toward the ground now!” or “Slow to stall speed now!” or “Turn left and fly into that building!” It doesn’t work that way. What you might see would be something like an en route waypoint that would, if followed, carry you astray of course, or an altitude that’s out of whack with what ATC or the charts tells you it ought to be. That sort of thing. Anything weird or unsafe — an incorrect course or altitude — would be corrected very quickly by the pilots.
No, the problem is that news agencies looking to wring every bit of ratings possible from a tragedy are willing to make viewers stupider under the guise of "news." When facts just aren't available, 24-hour news teams lean heavily on whatever theory will provide the most entertainment (for lack of a better word). Former pilot Jay Rollins may have three decades of experience, but his speculation draws on none of it. Instead, it just takes a bit of what's selling right now (anything "cyber") and what has always sold (fear) and leaves the viewers with less information than they would have obtained by skipping the coverage completely. The truth, however, is simultaneously more horrific (in that there's little that can be done to thwart a pilot determined to crash a plane) than the "hacked plane" theory and more mundane -- at least in terms of "exciting" news coverage. | aerospace |

Serving as a half-way-home between Earth and Mars, Boeing makes progress on a spaceship that will be able to fulfil this purpose.
The spaceship will be situated towards the dark side of the moon, allowing spaceships a place to dock and refuel while travelling to Mars.
Before spaceships begin the agonising trip to Mars, the spaceship will offer a celestial resting point for future space travellers to relax, get something to eat, and prepare themselves for the long journey ahead.
Using NASA's powerful Space Launch System (SLS), Boeing has said that they plan to launch the “space-habitat” in 4 separate segments.
Director of global sales, and marketing for Boeings Space exploration division – Pet McGrath confirms: “The ability to simultaneously launch humans and cargo on SLS would allow us to assemble the gateway in four launches in the early 2020s.”
Using solar panels for power, the Deep Space Gateway would: "support critical research and help open opportunities for global government or commercial partnerships in deep space, including lunar missions."
Boeing has also unveiled future plans to create a Deep Space Transport vehicle, that will be used to transport people to Mar’s.
"The transport vehicle would be equipped with a habitat specifically designed to protect passengers from deep space’s harsh environment and its own robust SEP bus," said Boeing's Kelly Kaplan in a press statement.
"In fact, both of Boeing’s concepts leverage proven solar electric propulsion technology and hardware design from the 702 satellite family," she said. | aerospace |
