Stay up to date with the latest from The Air Charter Association and aviation industry news.
4th March 2020
The Air Charter Association signs up to the Women in Aviation and Aerospace Charter
The Air Charter Association has become a supporting organisation of the Women in Aviation and Aerospace Charter. This is a UK government initiative that pledges to balance gender across aviation and aerospace.
Aviation is already suffering a substantial skills shortage and the UK’s aviation and aerospace sectors are making a commitment to work together to build a more balanced and fair industry for women in order to help promote the exciting opportunities available within it to everyone.
The UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the Department for Transport have created the initiative which recognises that more needs to be done to enhance the gender balance in these sectors. Organisations that sign up to this Charter are committing to be the very best at driving diversity and inclusion within their sector and providing fair opportunities for women to succeed at the highest levels.
The Charter commits organisations to supporting the progression of women into senior roles in the aviation and aerospace sectors, and aligns with The Air Charter Association’s position on encouraging wider diversity in general, inspiring the next generation and encouraging people from all backgrounds to join our industry.
Chairman of The Air Charter Association Nick Weston said “I am delighted that we have taken the first step in signing up to the Charter. We encourage members of the Association and all companies in the wider aviation sector to take a closer look at this initiative and join us in signing up to the Charter and to attracting the very best talent into our industry.”

The Discovery Channel show Mythbusters starts in new season tonight. I think tonight is the show were they try and figure out if the moon landing was a hoax. Its either tonight or maybe next week. Anyways, its not really important. I firmly believe that the moon landing was not a hoax, however the live Apollo 11 TV broadcast was. Here's the smoking gun.
This image below is from the live broadcast. As you can see the lander ladder goes all the way to the ground. And is thick. This is because on earth, space suits aren't that light, and need a stronger ladder.
While in this picture of Apollo 11 you can see the ladder is complete different. Much thinner, because of the whole less gravity thing, and also shorter. Astronauts can easily pull themselves up. Apollo 11 was there, just the American public didn't see it live. NASA couldn't take any chances that something unsuspecting might may a appearance.
And bonus picture of production staff putting the final touches on the astronaut.source
UPDATE: THE SHOW WILL AIR ON AUG. 27 NOT TONIGHT. MY BAD.

EasyJet moves pilots to Europe to minimise fallout from a no-deal Brexit
London — EasyJet is shifting its pilots based in mainland Europe to Austrian and German licences in an effort to minimise the potential fall-out from a no-deal Brexit.
The 1,400 affected will be moved to licences issued by Austria from November, an official at the England-based carrier said. German crew will be registered locally, while British pilots operating in the UK won’t change.
"Depending on the outcome of Brexit, UK-issued pilot licences may not be valid within the EU," the company said, adding that it had agreed on the solution with the relevant regulators, including the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The change will incur a "limited cost" per pilot, it said.
The aviation sector could potentially be one of the worst hit on the scheduled exit day of March 29 if Prime Minister Theresa May and her counterparts in the EU fail to reach a working agreement. Without continued regulatory co-operation, the CAA — which also provides licences for aircraft parts and engines manufactured in Britain — would no longer be recognised internationally, risking mass groundings.
The move is the latest effort by EasyJet, which, last year created a new airline based in Vienna specifically to keep its EU planes flying after Brexit, shifting the registration for 110 aircraft to the unit. It began assessing options for the unit days after the UK’s Brexit referendum in mid-2016, when the leave vote wiped out a third of EasyJet’s market value.
Along with Irish discounter Ryanair, EasyJet has been shoring up its shareholder base on the continent to avoid falling afoul of airline-ownership restrictions that require carriers to be majority owned by nationals.
In July, UK transport minister Chris Grayling indicated that an agreement that would allow flights to continue would be reached even without a wider accord with the bloc.
With Neil Callanan.

Flight 7: Turns Around a Point
A new maneuver today was attempting to fly a rectangular course using ground references; we used four major streets as the boundary. I practiced turning around a point, and then it was time for more pattern and landing practice.
The wind is still my enemy, which is throwing everything off just like the last time. We did a variety pack of six trips around the pattern, no two the same. The actual landings were- well, “acceptable” would be a stretch, but the wheels did hit the pavement in the right order, sometimes one side at a time.
I think the landings will be OK once I can fly a rectangular pattern and develop a consistent approach.
Today: 0.9 hours
Total: 7.8 hours

This coming Wednesday, December 7, 2011, will mark the 39th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 17-- the last of NASA's manned lunar missions. That mission launched in dramatic fashion at night, lighting up the skies over Florida, to bring to close one of the greatest chapters of US exploration. Aboard that mission was Commander Eugene Cernan -- the last man to leave his boot print on the moon. For luck, and in memory and homage to his father, Gene also took with him a $2 bill that flew on his other flights --- and was given to him by his father to fly on his first space flight. It is amazing to think that we have not returned to the moon in all those years…but, you can visit the bill that historically flew with and landed on the moon by visiting it at the museum!
Apollo 17 Launches on December 7, 1972 for the last manned lunar mission of Apollo - on board is Gene Cernan's GT9A and A10 flown $2 bill, which was given to him by his father after his father carried it for years in his wallet for luck. The bill is now a part of the Jefferson Space Museum collection. View it here.

A prototype of a World War II airplane bomber catapult has been excavated by a team from the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) in Harwell, Oxfordshire. The site is slated for a new development of the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, and the existence of the catapult was known from historical records, but as a failed experiment shut down in 1941, it was not documented in detail, so MOLA archaeologists were enlisted to reveal its secrets. This is the first time the catapult has seen the light and been studied in detail since early in the war.
Design work began on the catapult in 1935, the year Germany rearmed in defiance of the Treaty of Versailles. After three years of planning, catapult construction began in 1938, the year Germany invaded Czechoslovakia. It was completed in 1940, the year of the Battle of Britain when 3,000 men of the Royal Air Force kept control of British skies under the brutal onslaught of Hitler’s Luftwaffe.
The advantages to catapulting a bomber plane into the air included saving the fuel expended in takeoff and requiring a much shorter runway than the conventional variety. Even after this project was shut down, the idea of the airplane catapult survived and was deployed with success to launch aircraft from ships.
The circular central pit, 10 feet deep and 100 feet in diameter, contained most of the catapult’s machinery and engines. The catapult was powered by 12 Rolls-Royce Kestrel aero engines which took up all that space in the pit, hence its depth and breadth. Above the mechanics a turntable was mounted into a slot at the top of the pit’s wall. Two concrete runway channels extended 270 feet north and south from the pit.
The way it was supposed to work was that airplanes would drive onto the turntable which would turn towards one of two runway arms extending north and south. On the south arm, the plane would be hooked onto an underground pneumatic ram would be driven down the channel by a blast of compressed air from the 12 Rolls Royce engines. The plane was supported by a trolley on wheels. The ram would drag the plane to top speed at ground level and launch it into the air. The north runway arm has a different design, perhaps for experimental purposes, which archaeologists are still studying to determine how it was meant to be used.
In the end, none the Mark III catapult was ever used. Only the prototype was built, and it failed in big ways. Its engines kept wearing out, and most bumblingly, the design did not actually fit the bomber planes that already existed. It never successfully launched a single plane. In 1941, it was filled in and a conventional airstrip built on top.
The construction work at the site will continue and the catapult remains have been dismantled, alas. Before it was removed, the catapult facility was thoroughly photographed and scanned and a 3D digital replica created for future research.

Pilots say “niner” instead of nine because it is a way to avoid miscommunication between pilots and air traffic controllers. Miscommunication up in the sky can lead to disastrous consequences, so it’s paramount that communication is as straightforward as possible.
When pilots first learned to fly, they had to memorize many numbers and the alphabet. These numbers were part of the flight plan, often written out in chalk on the ground.
The pilot would have to write down their coordinates at certain times throughout a flight, including when they thought they might be low on fuel.
If you’re going to be low on fuel, you don’t want to be too high above ground level or too low below ground level—you want to be just right!
Why do pilots say souls on board?
Pilots say “souls on board” because of a combination of factors.
One is that if someone is aboard, they want to ensure that person is safe and comfortable. If there’s not, they don’t want to put them at risk.
Another reason is that it’s a way to remind everyone who is supposed to be in the cockpit—including all passengers—that they’re all in this together.
Pilots feel accountable for everyone on board’s safety, so saying “souls on board” reminds everyone of what’s most important: keeping each other safe.
Do dogs count as souls on board?
For decades, however, the U.S. government has promulgated a definition of the word “soul” that does not include animals through the Transportation Department and Civil Aviation Authority.
They have defined a person as “a distinctive person” or “a human being,” while they have defined an animal as an animal or a plane.
They have also interpreted that all animals are considered passengers on board an aircraft unless they are specifically exempted from this rule by regulation or other legal authority.
t is not clear whether dogs should count as souls on board because they do not fit into either category of being a person or an animal.
What do pilots say at the start of a flight?
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! We’re thrilled to be here with you on your journey to (destination).
We know you’ll have a great time during this flight, and we want to ensure we don’t miss anything. So we’ve compiled some information about our route and what’s ahead of us.
I have some information concerning our flight, and this is Captain / Co-Pilot (your name). We will take off today at (departure time), and we expect to arrive at (destination) at (ETA)local time.
The weather on our route is good/…/rainy/cloudy, but it’s forecasted to be sunny or rainy at (destination).
We want to notify everyone that if you require any extra care, all of our crew will be ready to assist you. We’ll also be flying over some interesting places along the way, such as (name of the places you’ll overfly). If you like, you may follow our path on one of the system’s engaging channels!
I’ll update weather reports as we get closer to our destination so you can prepare for any adjustments you could make along the route. Enjoy your flight!
What does the pilot say during the flight?
Even during the flight, your pilot will immediately look for any issues you must handle.
For example, if they notice that the plane is at a lower altitude than expected.
They will ensure that everything with the plane is working correctly and notify air traffic control.
The Pilot/Controller Glossary is an international language of aviation terms and phrases used to communicate with pilots and controllers. These terms and phrases help ensure safety on the flight deck, from when a pilot boards the plane until they safely land.
What do pilots say to passengers when landing?
Pilots say a few things to passengers when landing, depending on the situation.
If you’re landing at an airport, you might hear the pilot say, “We’re going to touch down.” And then, when your jet lands on the runway, they’ll say, “All right, we’ve landed.”
If you’re landing in a small town where no other airports are nearby, you might hear the pilot say, “I’m going to try and land here.” And then, as they hit their final approach to your destination, they’ll announce, “We’ve landed.”
What does the pilot say when the plane is going down?
- When the plane goes down, the pilot says, “May Day!” This is a distress call, meaning the flight is in trouble and needs immediate help.
- You can contact the air transportation station whose jurisdiction the aircraft operates to request help if a pilot runs into a crisis or emergency.
- The pilot should state the difficulty and how much help is needed.
- If possible, the pilot should also provide details about how long this will take to resolve the issue.
- So that other crew members can adequately brief their responsibilities when they are called for help.
What do pilots say to the control tower?
Pilots are typically the first to make contact with the control tower. They will inform the control tower that they are ready for takeoff and ask for permission.
In some cases, the control tower will not allow a pilot to take off until they have received clearance from their employer or manager.
In these cases, the pilot will often repeat their request for permission multiple times before being granted access to take off.
Why do pilots say Roger?
Pilots say Roger for two main reasons. The first is that it’s a good luck word. It means “all right” or “OK.”
The second reason pilots say Roger is because it’s also a code word for “ready.” So if you’re in the air and want to say something like, “I’m ready for landing,” the most effective technique to deliver the message is with the word Roger.
What do you say to a pilot for good luck?
Thanks for flying with us on this journey. We know that you’re a passionate person who cares about the world we live in and the people who live in it.
We are dedicated to our expertise and experience to deal with urgent concerns like transportation systems and climate variability.
We know you’ll do great things when you fly, and we hope you’ll return to us again soon!
FAQ relating to why pilots say niner
Pilots say “niner” when they want to call for an air traffic controller.
There are a few reasons why pilots say niner instead of nine.
The first is that radio signals could not be clear.
Since nine and five both have one syllable and rhyme, they could be readily misconstrued if there are any disruptions in the frequency.
The second reason is that it was once common practice for pilots to have a different call sign for every airport they were assigned to fly or land.
If there was a problem with a transmission, they could tell which airport they were talking to by the specific call sign.
Why does the military use Niner instead of nine?
The military uses Niner because it is a number that has been used for years in the military.
The number nine has many meanings in the English language, including “number of nine” and “number of longitudes.” This is why the military picked Niner rather than nine.
In the world of radio, it’s all about numbers. To make sure your listeners can hear you loud and clear, use these tips to pronounce your numbers: “Niner” is harder to miss or mistake than “nine.”
Why does a pilot say heavy?
A pilot says “heavy” when referring to an aircraft’s weight. The phrase results from the pilot’s hands being placed on the control yoke, shaped like a bar.
The pilot’s hands can’t move as far and as quickly as they could if they were holding onto nothing at all. Therefore, it is necessary to use different body parts to move the control yoke up and down.
A heavy aircraft has more air resistance than a light aircraft, so it requires more effort for the pilot to move it in any given direction.
Why do pilots say Wilco?
Wilco is a command type, like a “yes sir” or “no sir.” You can use it in response to questions, requests, directives, and so on. For example, when you’re flying together, and one pilot says “Wilco,” the other pilot knows they have received the message and will comply.
Wilco is the acronym for “Will Comply.” It was used as a term in aviation to indicate that all of the information in the message was received and understood.
Why do pilots call passengers souls?
Pilots call passengers souls because they are an essential part of their job.
The pilot’s job is to get the passengers to their destination safely and on time, and pilots rely heavily on their ability to communicate with the passengers.
Pilots must be capable of connecting with individuals from various cultures and communicating well with them because if a pilot and their passengers don’t get along.
It might significantly compromise the safety of the flight.

Behold, the largest plane in the US Air Force
At 222 feet across, almost 300 feet long, and 65 feet tall at its tail, Lockheed Martin’s C-5 Galaxy is the largest transport aircraft in the US Air Force. With a cargo hull 121 feet long and 19 feet across, the C-5 is a flying warehouse that can carry a combat-ready military unit or deliver necessary supplies anywhere in the world.
The C-5 has a cargo capacity of 142 tons, the equivalent of carrying two M1A1 Abrams tanks, six greyhound buses, or 25,844,746 ping-pong balls. Below, see just how awesome the C-5’s carrying capacity is.
The C-5 Galaxy absolutely dwarfs humans.
The engine alone is more than 7 feet across.
Even large helicopters are tiny compared to the C-5.
To ease loading and unloading, the C-5 opens from the nose and the tail end.
With four massive engines that each produce the force of 800 cars, the C-5 sounds amazing. (Sound starts about 0:30 mark.)
Chinook helicopters fit with ease.
Hauling an A-10 is no problem.
Fighter jets fit too!
Here comes the M1 Abrams.
Over 266,000 pounds of cargo and armored vehicles are loaded into a C-5 in Afghanistan.
Here the C-5 unloads an 81-foot boat for the Navy.
The C-130 is a big plane in its own right, but its fuselage fits easily inside the galaxy.
In times of trouble, when aid is needed on a huge scale, the C-5 is a welcome sight.

The Johnson Space Center in Houston has some great mirrors. They show no distortion whatsoever! Nope, none at all!
(But please remember that the camera adds 10 pounds!)

Of course NASA would pick nothing but the best!
Nikon F This camera was used to familiarize Apollo astronauts with the use and function of the Nikon F. This off-the-shelf camera was used inside the Apollo spacecraft for photo documentation of mission events.

More from our day at the Space Center in Houston
That’s Sara, “landing the space shuttle”
2009/292: NASA (Part 1)
A must-see during our recent getaway to the Houston area was the Space Center. Last time we were in the Houston area we made it all the way to the entrance and decided to skip it because of the looooong lines. This time wasn’t nearly as crowded.
We spent about 5 hours there and didn’t get to see it all. Unfortunately we missed the tram tour. We stood in line for a while and then it started pouring… and I really didn’t want my camera to get wet, so we went back inside and had more fun there. The kids had a blast, too (no pun intended 😉 )
Sorry about the picture overload, even though I’m breaking this up into two posts. When I was little, I wanted to be an astonaut, you know? (Any of you facebook friends who take my how well do you know me test, should at least get this one question right!)
Sara’s favorite place to play. She didn’t want to leave!

Single and two stage Doorknob rockets were developed using Lacrosse and Thiokol solid propellent motors and could launch an instrument laden sounding rocket to approximately 50 miles in altitude and capture radioactive data for analysis. Early results of this upper atmosphere data suggested little to no damage to the ozone layer was measured during the nuclear testing and water detonations probably produced enough ozone to replace what little might have been lost due to above ground testing.
The Estes 1:5.3 scale model Doorknob is big and impressive. Simple to build and fun to fly, this kit will be big hit in both the sport and scale rocket categories. This kit has two sets of decals available for those who want to turn this scale model into a sports model.

I’m still in Australia on vacation through next week, so I apologize in advance for the light blog posts. That said, I have to provide a teaser of forthcoming posts about my experiences flying Virgin Australia. Full reviews of flying business class with them Sydney-Perth-Sydney (and their airport lounges) will be forthcoming here on FrequentlyFlying, as well as on my Road Warrior blog on CNBC.
In the meantime, here are a few teaser pics of my experience. I literally took hundreds of photos, so I’ll somehow narrow them down into the “best of the best” to publish for everyone to enjoy. My outbound to Perth was on an “old” A330 in the 2-3-2 configuration and I returned on the “new” 2-2-2 bird. Pretty cool, actually, to experience them both.
I have to send out a HUGE thanks to cabin supervisor Adam who was particularly accommodating in allowing me to board early on both flights to take oodles of cabin pictures (not to mention him being such a cool person). And I have to give an equal “shout out” to flight attendant Anneleise who was by far the most authentic and service-oriented flight attendant I’ve experienced on any airline in years. I had such a wonderful time flying with them both.

TsAGI specialists are working on a new small aircraft
30 January 2013
Specialists of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute named after Professor N.E. Zhukovsky (TsAGI) have developed a technology platform (a set of interrelated technologies) for inexpensive light multipurpose aircraft (LMS) with extended basing capabilities. The platform can be used for creation of an advanced aircraft for 9, 13 and 19 passengers, which shall meet the requirements of the Russian small aircraft market and will be able to compete in the global arena. Work under the contract with the Ministry of Industry began in 2011.
TsAGI proposed a set of technical solutions in the field of aerodynamics, materials and structures, management systems,
providing a significant improvement in the technical level and consumer properties of the aircraft.
Scientists are working on the creation of the airframe made of polymer composite materials, automated LMS management system and wheel chassis in the base case, as well as on stand-alone air cushion landing system, the use of pressurized cabin, two turboprop helicopter motors connected with synchronization shaft, etc. Special attention is paid to the operation of LMS in non-airfield conditions, which is important for our country, especially in Siberia and the Far North regions.
The aerodynamic design has been developed, combining high aerodynamic efficiency at cruising flight mode with high lifting properties at takeoff and landing modes. The calculated aerodynamic properties have been confirmed by model testing in T-102 wind tunnel. Air cushion landing gear has been successfully tested in the tunnel and in the seaplane tank of the Moscow Complex of TsAGI.
According to estimates by FSUE “State Research Institute of Aviation”, if created, the light aircraft in wheeled chassis configuration will allow to reduce the cost of transportation by
According to experts of JSC “Aviaprom”, sales prospects of the new LMS from 2016 to 2030 could reach about 1770 aircraft of all three variants for the total amount of about 4.5 billion U.S. dollars. With that, the share of
In general, studies have shown that if technical solutions and technologies developed by TsAGI are applied, new Russian aircraft will be able to compete in the domestic and foreign markets, and will ensure affordability and security of the local air transportation and aerial works.
“We consider it useful to create a plane to demonstrate the technology of light multi-purpose aircraft of the future, on which we can develop and test specific promising and innovative technical solutions. Our specialists already developed a preliminary design for the demonstrator in 2012, under a contract with the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade,” the project’s head of research Andrey Dunaevsky said.

Young hot air balloonist on the way up
Hot air balloon enthusiast Chris Freeman has just gained a commercial licence at the age of 23, making him one of the youngest commercial pilots in the country. Chris obtained a private pilot’s licence in 2008 but needed a further 75 hours of flying time across the UK and Europe as well as five intensive written exams before being allowed to take paying customers for hot air balloon rides.
Taking three years to complete, Chris, who presently works in marketing, is hoping that his new commercial licence will help him build up a profitable business and ideally he would like to find a company which is prepared to sponsor him to fly his own balloon. In the meantime, he hopes to find a job with a company specialising in hot air balloon rides, to gain further experience and learn the business.
He currently flies for around 40 hours a year in his own hot air balloon which he shares with a friend. Since gaining his private licence in 2008, Chris has taken his friends and family up as often as he can, saying he finds it as exhilarating as the first time he flew, which he says is as much to do with the silence as with the stunning views.
He attributes his interest in hot air ballooning to family outings to the Northampton Balloon Festival, first held over 20 years ago and organised by a team of local hot air balloon enthusiasts keen to share their interest.

A Sikorsky Aircraft helicopter crew in the middle of a test flight sighted a downed plane in swampy Glades County on Wednesday, then swept low enough to pull the injured pilot aboard.
The helicopter's pilot and co-pilot, who flew gunships in the same Navy squadron in Vietnam, said Wednesday's rescue was a lot easier than rescues in the Mekong Delta during the late 1960s.
Although the terrain and technique were similar, the big difference was the absence of enemy fire, pilot Tom Doyle said.
"It was natural," said Doyle, 46, of Stuart.
Sikorsky Aircraft is west of Palm Beach Gardens along with Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. Both are divisions of United Technologies Corp.
Doyle said the S-76B helicopter was flying at 1,500 feet about 3:30 p.m. when crewman Roy Bailey sighted the downed plane about 15 miles northeast of LaBelle, on the border of Hendry and Glades counties.
"We knew there was no airport around, so we knew somthing was wrong," Doyle said.
As the 11,400-pound helicopter descended, the crew saw a man standing on the belly of the plane, a white single-engine Piper Tomahawk.
Doyle took the helicopter down to the level of 2-foot-tall marsh grass and about 6 feet from the plane. He said he couldn't hover above the plane because he feared the downwash from the helicopter might cause the wing of the plane to rise.
The S-76B helicopter is intended for use in offshore oil operations and is not equipped with hoisting equipment, he said.
He motioned for the injured pilot, Chuck Sassano of Fort Myers, to climb into the water, which was about 2 feet deep.
Crew members Bailey and Doug Booty pulled Sassano into the cabin.
"He appeared to be dazed due to a head injury," Doyle said. He said Sassano, whose age he learned is 22, also complained of back pains and blurred vision.
Sassano said his engine quit running and the plane crashed about 10 a.m. It flipped over on its back on impact, Doyle said he was told.
"He was in for a long night if we hadn't have flown over," Doyle said.
Doyle, co-pilot Jeff Lewis and the crew flew back to Sikorsky Aircraft, a 20- minute ride at the helicopter's top speed of 170 mph. There, a company paramedic climbed on board to examine Sassano.
He told the pilots to fly another 10 minutes to Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach.
Sassano was treated at the hospital and released. A nursing supervisor said she thought Sassano was heading to an airport to catch a flight north.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jack Barker said Sassano was the only person aboard the plane. Sassano was flying without a flight plan, and investigators had not confirmed where the pilot was going or where he had come from, Barker said.

Republican lawmakers are accusing China of deliberately surveilling sensitive U.S. military sites with a suspected spy balloon. And they say the Biden administration has given Beijing an intelligence opening by not downing the balloon during its high-altitude drift through American airspace. Democrats are defending Biden and they note that there were similar incursions while Donald Trump was president. But the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee says “clearly this was an attempt by China to gather information, to defeat our command and control of our sensitive missile defense and nuclear weapon sites.” A missile from an F-22 fighter jet downed the balloon on Saturday off the South Carolina coast.
Eyes were locked on the Carolina skies Saturday as the suspected Chinese spy balloon drifted over the Atlantic Ocean and was shot down by U.S. military fighters. In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina people lined a boardwalk and cheered as a missile from an F-22 fighter struck the balloon and it plummeted into the water. Software engineer and storm chaser Brian Branch captured photographs of the balloon high above western North Carolina just hours before it was shot down. Branch could see a payload hanging from the round, white balloon, which officials said was about the size of three school buses. China said it was a weather balloon.

One of our two TAP Members, Brad Overmoe writes: "We have many Level 3 flyers in our club but most have gone the Tripoli route. Jack obtained his Level 3 through NAR and thus is qualified to assist other NAR members advance within the organization. As a NAR L3CC member, Jack would be an asset to the committee and to our UROC club."
As you may or may not be aware, the Members of the Level 3 Certification Committee (L3CC) are appointed by the L3CC Chairperson to provide technical assistance and guidance to NAR Members in the design, construction and flying of rockets having a total impulse in the M, N and O ranges and for Certifying to NAR Cert Level 3.
Members of the L3CC must be NAR Members themselves and must have proven their competency in the design, construction, pre-flight and recovery of high impulse rockets. Jack has been very active in our club for many years and is an experienced rocket builder and flyer. He has flown at least half a dozen M motors at UROC launches as well as complex projects including two stage rockets and air started motors.
Another UROC Member, Frank Whitby writes about Jack: "Jack was the person with whom I consulted last year when I began to consider my own attempt at L3 certification because I wanted to build a large V2, similar to one of Jacks. Jack provided me with scale data and a simulation to aid me in design and construction, for which I am grateful."
NAR members designing, building and planning to fly a rocket with a total impulse of M, N or O must provide sketches, drawings, design details, materials lists, schematics, etc. to their L3CC contact for review and comment prior to the desired launch date. The L3CC member will review the information provided and provide timely, constructive comments and guidance to the builder. The L3CC reviewer may also call upon others for specific expertise as required. L3CC Members must be capable of relating their knowledge to others as well as assist others and must be willing to commit to deadlines. They must be aware of, and follow all local, national and NAR HPR rules.
When you get a chance congratulate Jack on his acceptance into the committee and thank him for his willingness to help other members of UROC gain their own level 3 certifications.

Grissom Air Reserve Base in Miami County is set to unveil new training equipment. The $3 million Boom Operator Weapons System Trainer allows crews to practice aerial refueling.
September 25, 2013
Grissom Air Reserve Base, Ind. – Senior leaders at Grissom will host a special ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony for a new Boom Operator Weapons System Trainer (BOWST) Friday at 3 p.m.
Grissom is the first Air Force Reserve Command base to have a BOWST, which will allow KC-135 Stratotanker boom operators to conduct vital training in a virtual environment.
A boom operator is an important part of a KC-135's three-person aircrew as they are the Airman that guides the physical connection between the tanker and the receiver aircraft to transfer fuel during an aerial refueling process.
Grissom's BOWST, which cost approximately $3 million, will provide significant benefits by reducing the required number of flight hours in a KC-135 Stratotanker for boom operators to maintain training and currency. The reduction in flight training will save Grissom an estimated $3 million per year.
The BOWST also allows for enhanced training as it allows for more specialized training with emergency procedures and makes it easy for boom operators to train on all types of receivers.
It is anticipated that boom operators from other bases will travel to Grissom to train in the BOWST.

Manned flight has been a staple of modern transport and logistics for over half a century — but not without problems. Our current infrastructure for transporting people and goods in the skies has become strained with the rising demands of the globalized economy.
DEEP AERO is developing a foundation for a new type of infrastructure: a drone-based ecosystem, complete with an air traffic control platform, a drone marketplace for on-demand logistics and transport, and more — all securely stored and transacted on DEEP AERO’s blockchain.
Here’s how it works.
DEEP AERO’s Vision
The rising globalized economy can no longer be dependent upon antiquated methods and technology that was designed for the 20th century. The skyrocketing demand for global commerce and travel is limited by our capacity to transport goods and people in a timely, cost-effective way.
Ishmeet Singh, Advisor to DEEP AERO, says,
“Historically, logistics have decided the fate of wars and today, logistics decide the fate of corporations across the globe. It is imperative to design solutions that can overcome the challenges being faced presently. Some of these challenges relate to rapid population growth resulting in congestion in cities leading to reduced mobility caused by traffic situations. Flight and logistics is the next frontier that must be explored to stay commercially viable in the times to come. DEEP AERO envisions commercialized drone fleets capable of extraordinary feats.”
The solution is a fully decentralized drone economy powered by today’s most disruptive and promising technologies: artificial intelligence, blockchain, and unmanned drones.
DEEP AERO’s drone economy will be a fully-compliant rules-based air traffic platform (UTM) that will incorporate the very best drones for logistics and transport — all of which will be made available on-demand to the public and private sector.
DEEP AERO’s drone traffic management platform (DRONE-UTM) will act as a secure and automated platform for managing drone traffic and aviation safety.
DEEP AERO’s Passenger drones will serve as a new medium of transport, freeing people and businesses from the waste and inefficiencies of today’s overcrowded highways.
The DRONE-MP, DEEP AERO’s marketplace will administer the supply and demand of DEEP AERO’s drone fleets to meet the demands of customers using DRONE tokens.
The Unmanned Air Traffic Management Platform
In order to maintain and manage a fully-functional and on-demand drone economy, there is a need for an effective air traffic control system that can handle thousands, and potentially, millions of drones simultaneously.
One of the biggest challenges today, according to DEEP AERO’s whitepaper is that,
“At present there is no system to manage unmanned air traffic. Current airspace management and air traffic flow management systems don’t have the capabilities to handle the type of operations relevant to drones.”
DEEP AERO’s Unmanned Air Traffic Management Platform is a cutting-edge aviation control system that will be:
The purpose of DEEP AERO’s UTM system is to ensure the safety of unmanned and manned flights in a shared space. This UTM system will be based upon stationary and mobile platforms that will have global geographic coverage.
DEEP AERO is using Deep Chain UAS to register and secure all necessary UTM data on the blockchain. The Deep Chain UAS systems include:
- Flight Planning
- Conflict Management
All of these systems, from drone registration to flight authorization, are to be put in place to ensure a fully-functioning air traffic management system that enables a seamless use of the DEEP AERO’s drone economy.
Ishmeet Singh says,
“Any new and innovative technology when first introduced into the fabric of existing ideas seems disruptive. UAVs, AI, and blockchain are the necessities of present times. They represent the next logical steps towards growth in their respective domains. DEEP AERO will integrate AI and blockchain technology synergistically to revolutionize unmanned flight sector. Research and development of a cutting-edge Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) for UAVs is underway.”
Transport and Passenger Drone Fleet
Tomorrow’s aviation economy is going to become less and less dependent on human pilots. As demand for transport and travel increases, unmanned flight will become all the more necessary to meet these demands while removing pilot error and waste.
Ishmeet Singh says,
“According to the Economist, 2 million recreational drones and 110,000 drones for commercial use were sold in 2016. These numbers are expected to increase exponentially in the coming years. A well-designed UTM will be quintessential to these drones in the civilian sector taking flight for their intended purpose very shortly. DEEP AERO is excited about the endless possibilities this UTM will unlock.”
DEEP AERO is working with leading drone manufacturers to create two separate drone fleets:
- Passenger Drones
- Cargo Drones
DEEP AERO’s Passenger drones will use Vertical Liftoff and Landing (VTOL) technology to enable the rapid transport of people. Passenger Drones will be used in cities and crowded urban environments to relieve congestion and traffic on today’s busy roads.
A DEEP AERO Taxi Service is also in the works to serve as an Uber-like on-demand service for passenger transport.
DEEP AERO’s Cargo Drones will be used for speedy delivery of packaged goods. Cargo drones will also relieve congested roads as demand for faster logistics and ecommerce delivery continues to rise. Consumers and businesses will be able to employ these drones on an on-demand basis using the Drone Marketplace.
The DEEP AERO Drone Marketplace
DRONE-MP, DEEP AERO’s Drone Marketplace will act as an easy-to-use interface between DEEP AERO and customers to facilitate drone services for a wide number of use cases. The marketplace will be fully digital and decentralized and enable people to:
- Rent Passenger and Cargo Drones
- Buy Passenger and Cargo Drones
- Buy and sell drone components
- Exchange drone services
Buying, selling, and exchanging goods and services on the Drone Marketplace will be based upon the digital currency of DRONE tokens.
Let’s take a quick look at some of the use cases for DEEP AERO’s drone economy.
The Many Use Cases of a Drone Economy
Today’s system of transport and logistics is plagued by human error, wasteful spending, and general inefficiencies inherent in a 20th-century system. DEEP AERO’s drone economy will bring this system into the 21st century using cutting edge technology.
Here are some of the use cases for a drone economy:
- Delivery of goods
- Security and surveillance
- Data collection
- Emergency response
- Drone taxis
- Urban air transport
- Hazardous material assessment
- Infrastructure inspection and claim handling
These sum up some of the major use cases for a fully autonomous drone economy. You’ll notice that there are many different sectors of the general economy that are ripe for revolution with the use of drones, blockchain, and artificial intelligence.
Ishmeet Singh says,
“The applications for drones are endless. DEEP AERO envisions them as rapid, reliable on-demand taxi fleets capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) to travel within cities. This will reduce the travel time significantly by avoiding traffic congestion. In fact, DEEP AERO is collaborating closely with leading manufacturers like Volocopter, eHANG, Workhorse and Autonomous Passenger Drone to launch a drone taxi fleet on its marketplace.”
DEEP AERO’s ICO
For those wanting to get involved in DEEP AERO’s project to revolutionize the transport and logistics economy, there’s currently a public token sale underway that will last until June 1st.
Here are some of the details:
- 1 DRONE token = Approx $.05 USD

March 4, 2003
All spacecraft subsystems are nominal. Over the week of February 20 – 26, thirty-three ground contacts were performed. Starting Monday, March 3, these contacts were reduced to two per day for the remainder of the 5-year SORCE mission. All science instruments are currently collecting data, and performing early orbit calibration experiments. On Thursday, March 6, these calibrations will finish and the normal operational scenarios started.
Since launch on January 25, the SORCE Mission Operations Center has routinely delivered raw telemetry data to the Goddard Space Flight Center Earth Sciences Distributed Active Archive Center (GES DAAC) for permanent archival. The SORCE science data system is now online and started generating preliminary solar data for all SORCE instruments using pre-launch calibration data. The first public release of SORCE science data will occur late May 2003.«Return to the Meetings/News page

SAN FRANCISCO – Silicon Valley space mapping startup LeoLabs unveiled a service May 13 to help commercial and government satellite operators avoid collisions with debris and other satellites in low Earth orbit.
LeoLabs operates three ground-based phased array radars to track satellites and debris in low Earth orbit. Drawing on the radar data, LeoLabs created a suite of cloud-based services, called LeoLabs Collision Avoidance, to alert customers to conjunctions and help them assess the risk of collisions.
When LeoLabs detects “a risky situation,” it automatically schedules time to make additional observations “so you’ve got increased confidence in your decision either to maneuver or not to maneuver,” Dan Ceperley, LeoLabs CEO and co-founder, told SpaceNews.
LeoLabs executives declined to comment on the price of the new service, which is designed for customization.
“No two constellations are the same,” Ceperley said. “Some want to do continuous collision assessment, some want to do it hourly and some want to do it daily.”
Although LeoLabs Collision Avoidance was designed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, its remote features could come in handy when many people are working from home.
“When a risky situation comes up, you probably have your satellite operators in the operation center and nobody else,” Ceperley said. A company’s orbital dynamics experts, for example, may be at home but they can still “bring their expertise to bear,” he added.
LeoLabs Collision Avoidance also promises to evaluate the merit of various maneuvers within seconds, Ceperley said. That feature will allow companies to “play through various scenarios and come up with the best solution,” he added.
Low Earth orbit, home to the International Space Station and Earth observation constellations, is increasingly dynamic thanks to the popularity of cubesats, small satellites and new communications constellations. LeoLabs plans to continue to expand its radar network to track small debris in low Earth orbit.
“Over the next 24 months, as LeoLabs adds additional high fidelity phased array radars to its global sensor network, LeoLabs Collision Avoidance will expand collision alerts to include previously uncatalogued small debris,” the company said in a May 13 news release.

A historic commercial flight is flying from US to Cuba for the first time in a half century. This trip is first regular US commercial flight between the two countries in more than 50 years.
JetBlue Airways inaugural flight is the very first of its kind since 1961. The flight between Fort Lauderdale, Florida and the central Cuban city of Santa Clara is a historic one for The Castro regime.
Obama and Castro agreed in February to restore direct commercial flights as part of the changes initiated in December 2014 when the two men announced a thaw after more than 50 years of Cold War hostility. Diplomatic relations were restored in July 2015.
The last time a JetBlue flight made news a couple of days ago, the passengers complained the flight turbulence was like a bad movie.

Small Scale Sub-Sonic Wind Tunnel-Design Construction and Performance Test
The purpose of this study is to design and fabricate asmall-scale wind tunnel to obtain the lift forces similar to the calibrated wind tunnel. The test section size is 29.5cmx29.5cmx70cm and velocity speed at 2.5m/s, 5m/s and 10m/s correspond to Reynolds number 25 000, 50 000 and 100 000. The mini weighing scale used to obtain lift forces through NACA 0018airfoil in the test section. The angle of attack varies from 00 to 200with increment of 50. The velocity meter was used to measure the velocity flow created by fan and compared with calibrated wind tunnel fan in Radius-Per-Minute (RPM) unit. The mean difference between Fan RPM for small scale wind tunnel and calibrated wind tunnel is almost 10%. The lift forces value alsoshows themean difference percentage is below 5% between small scale wind tunnel and calibrated wind tunnel.The result is very useful in future work to gain drag forces from this small-scale wind tunnel.

(Riverton, Wyo.) - When a new airline begins service at Riverton Regional airport in just over four weeks, the current airline serving the city will cut it service back. As expected, the loss of Worland's Essential Air Service subsidy from the U.S. Department of Transportation at the end of June means that Great Lakes Airlines is ending its service to that city. Since Worland and Riverton flights were tied together, and since the subsidy on the route is ending, Great Lakes has announced a 50 percent reduction in flights out of Riverton. There will be no more morning or evening flights into the city by GLA, just one noon-time flight. Despite that development, Riverton passengers can still get morning and evening service to and from Denver with the new airline. As has been widely reported, the Denver Air Connection will commence its new service here on July 1st with a 30-passenger Dornier jet. There will be two round trips a day to Denver and one flight daily to Sheridan. Riverton Airport Division Manager Paul Griffin said the flight reduction by Great Lakes, even if passengers fill up 15 seats on each DAC flight, the airport would most likely miss hitting the 10,000 enplanement mark by the end of the year. That benchmark allows a $1-million grant to the airport each year from the FAA for maintenance and upgrades. The airport has planned an open house on June 4th, 11-4 p.m., to introduce travelers to the DAC's 30-passenger Dornier jet aircraft. Tickets for the new service
are now on sale.

Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) announced on Tuesday that Pakistan had successfully tested a ‘locally developed Fateh-1’ guided multi-launch rocket system.
The Director General of ISPR said in a Twitter post that the rocket system has the potential to provide conventional warheads to the country.
The post read, “The weapons system will enable the Pakistan Army to target deeply accurately in enemy territory.”
The test flight of the Shaheen-1A ballistic missile on March 26, 2021 was the last successful test conducted by Pakistan.
According to ISPR, the missile, which has a range of 900 km, was tested to re-examine various design and technical parameters of the weapons system, including an advanced navigation system.

The complicated Avionics guide is a brand new ebook designed to supply common aviation clients with finished info on complex avionics gear on hand in technically complicated airplane. This guide introduces the pilot to flight operations in plane with the newest built-in “glass cockpit” complicated avionics platforms. This instruction manual is designed as a technical reference for pilots who function plane with complicated avionics platforms. even if flying a standard plane that includes a worldwide positioning approach (GPS) navigation receiver or a brand new plane with the newest built-in “glass cockpit” complex avionics method, you have to locate this instruction manual worthy in getting begun. the arriving of latest know-how to basic aviation airplane has generated obvious adjustments in 3 parts: info, automation, and suggestions. Pilots now have an exceptional volume of data on hand at their fingertips. digital flight tools use cutting edge suggestions to figure out plane angle, pace, and altitude, providing a wealth of data in a single or extra built-in displays. a collection of cockpit info structures offers pilots with information approximately plane place, deliberate course, engine healthiness and function, in addition to surrounding climate, site visitors, and terrain. complex avionics platforms can instantly practice many initiatives that pilots and navigators formerly did through hand. for instance, a space navigation (RNAV) or flight administration process (FMS) unit accepts a listing of issues that outline a flight path, and immediately plays lots of the path, distance, time, and gasoline calculations. as soon as en direction, the FMS or RNAV unit can regularly music the placement of the plane with appreciate to the flight course, and show the path, time, and distance ultimate to every aspect alongside the deliberate course. An autopilot is in a position to immediately steerage the plane alongside the direction that has been entered within the FMS or RNAV method. complicated avionics practice many features and change the navigator and pilot in such a lot tactics. in spite of the fact that, with the potential for failure in any given method, the pilot needs to be in a position to practice the mandatory services within the occasion of an gear failure.

The primary flight display in Figure 2-5 shows the active waypoint (ECA) at the top of the display. If the aircraft is flying a heading of 090 degrees and the track is 080 degrees, the winds are coming from the south. Notice that having a track indication makes it easy to maintain the desired track. To follow the 049-degree desired track to TRACY upon leaving SUNOL, simply fly the heading that results in a track of 049 degrees. The track display eliminates the traditional method of “bracketing” to find a heading that lets you fly the desired track.
When you perform a direct-to operation, though, remember that the system builds a new track from your present position to the new waypoint. This track does not necessarily correspond to any previously planned airway or route, so it is critical to ensure that your new direct route is clear of all significant obstructions, terrain, weather, and airspace. 00 V VOL/ PUSH ID COM to access the cancel SELECT D WAYPOINT ECA SW USA MANTECA STOCKTONPAGE USA MENU FPL RING Cancel Direct-To NAV?

Panasonic said it plans to take over where Boeing's in-flight Connexion satellite service left off, but it isn't buying the assets. Rather, it is using a similar approach to Connexion enabling airlines that have already launched Connexion to make an easy transition. Boeing has been trying to figure out what to do with the Connexion service after failing to reach profitability during the last six years. Panasonic says it is determined to avoid some of the key pitfalls of the Connexion service--primarily the lack of an initial fleet large enough to drive pricing down. Therefore, Panasonic won't launch without securing agreements covering a minimum of 500 aircraft in the next 60 days.

Could subterranean microbes be found on Mars?
A robotic rover deployed in the most Mars-like environment on Earth, the Atacama Desert in Chile, has successfully recovered subsurface soil samples during a trial mission to find signs of life. The study’s findings, published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology, will aid the search for evidence of signs of life during future planned missions to Mars.
In 2020, both NASA and the European Space Agency will embark on missions to deploy rovers on the surface of Mars. They will search for evidence of past or present life and, for the first time, drill below the surface where refuges for simple microbial life may still exist. To help ensure that these space missions succeed, technology is rigorously tested on Earth first.
“The core of the Atacama Desert in Chile is extremely dry, experiencing decades without rainfall,” said Professor Stephen Pointing, from Yale-NUS College, who led the microbial research. “It has high surface UV radiation exposure and is comprised of very salty soil. It’s the closest match we have on Earth to Mars, which makes it good for testing simulated missions to this planet.”
An autonomous rover-mounted robotic drill and sampling device, funded by NASA and designed by the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, was deployed in the Atacama Desert to test if it could successfully recover sediment samples down to a depth of 80 cm. Prof Pointing and his colleagues compared samples recovered by the rover to soil samples carefully taken by hand. Using DNA sequencing, the researchers found that the unusual and highly specialised microbes in the sediments recovered by both methods were similar, indicating a successful deployment.
“We have shown that a robotic rover can recover subsurface soil in the most Mars-like desert on Earth,” Prof Pointing said. “This is important because most scientists agree that any life on Mars would have to occur below the surface to escape the harsh surface conditions where high radiation, low temperature and lack of water make life unlikely.
“We found microbes adapted to high salt levels, similar to what may be expected in the Martian subsurface. These microbes are very different from those previously known to occur on the surface of deserts.”
The results also revealed that microbial life was very patchy and related to the limited water availability, scarce nutrients and geochemistry of the soil. According to study co-authors Nathalie Cabrol and Kim Warren-Rhodes, from the SETI Institute, “These results confirm a basic ecological rule that microbial life is patchy in Earth’s most extreme habitats, which hints that past or present life on other planets may also exhibit patchiness.
“While this will make detection more challenging, our findings provide possible signposts to guide the exploration for life on Mars, demonstrating that it is possible to detect life with smart robotic search and sampling strategies.”
According to Prof Pointing, future research will include drilling deeper to understand just how far down recoverable microbes occur. He noted, “Mars missions hope to drill to approximately 2 m and so having an Earth-based comparison will help identify potential problems and the interpretation of results once rovers are deployed there.
“Ecological studies that help us predict the habitable areas for microbial communities in Earth’s most extreme environments will also be critical to finding life on other planets.”

Feb 26, it was announced that Airservices Australia, in partnership with the
Department of Defence, has entered into an agreement with Thales Australia to
integrate the country’s civil and military air traffic management systems.
Airservices Australia is using the Australian Advanced Air Traffic Control
System (TAAATS) for its air traffic management system, while the Australian
military is using a military air traffic control system called ADATS.
both TAAATS and ADATS have been the backbone technologies for civil and
military air traffic management in Australia, the two systems are aging and unable
to match the capability of new air traffic management solutions.
such, Australia is introducing the country’s first harmonised civil and
military air traffic management system (CMATS) through the OneSKY system.
the press statement released
by the Department of Defence, this collaboration is the world’s first and the
pioneering OneSKY program using the world’s most advanced air traffic
management system technology will further earmark Australia as a global
Australia CEO Jason Harfield commented that the collaboration is “probably the
biggest development in the safe management of Australia’s skies since aviation
began in this nation”.
the annual Asia-Pacific air traffic growth rate predicted to be the
second-highest in the world at 4.7%, and significant development at major
airports in Australia over the next decade, the role of air traffic control is
more critical than ever.
$1.2 billion OneSKY project will transform Australia’s air traffic management
system and national infrastructure in the sky, ensuring the travelling public
arrive at their destination safely and with minimal delays,” said Minister
Defence Industry, the Hon Christopher Pyne MP.
integrated system will manage more than 11% of global airspace and some of the
world’s busiest air routes. Under OneSKY, Australia will be better able to
handle forecast air traffic growth which will reduce congestion and open up
more efficient air routes to reduce flight times, fuel costs and greenhouse
will be achieved through a system known as CMATS – the Civil Military Air
Traffic Control System. The new system will see air traffic controllers use
advanced technology and real-time traffic prediction tools, as they guide
aircraft and the flying public safely to their destinations.
progress towards the delivery of CMATS under advanced work orders, has already
been made with a view to delivering the enhanced safety and economic benefits
to the aviation industry as soon as possible.
to the press
release by Airservices Australia, a new Voice Communication System will be
commissioned later this year. The installation of the first phase of such
system took place last year and the system requirement review was completed in
January this year.
for Defence Marise Payne also echoed that OneSKY’s leading edge technology
meant Australia would have the most secure and resilient air traffic network in
project will replace the ageing military air traffic management systems and is
essential to ensuring our ADF can continue to operate safely in Australia’s
airspace,” Minister for Defence Marise Payne said.
to Minister Pyne, the OneSKY project will support 450 specialist high-tech jobs
in Melbourne, building Australian skills in complex project management, systems
engineering and software development.
75% of the acquisition cost and 95% of the ongoing annual support costs will be
to Australian companies,” she added.
OneSKY is a significant program that focuses on
aligning the needs of civil and military aviation. Once implemented,
Airservices Australia and Defence will share technology and information, giving
Australia the most advanced and integrated air traffic control system in the
world. It will manage forecasted growth of air traffic movement in Australia,
by as much as 60% by 2030, minimising delays for the travelling public.

Outgoing Minister of Aviation and Aerospace, Sen. Hadi Sirika has emphasised that Nigeria Air is not merely a law, but an entity comparable to other airlines.
Sirika, who was speaking during the unveiling and reception of Nigeria Air at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja expressed his gratitude and acknowledged the efforts of both the Nigerian and Ethiopian governments in bringing the airline alive again after a prolonged absence.
“We have accomplished our goals without any bias,” he stated. “This infrastructure has been missing in the aviation landscape of our nation. Nigeria Air Limited is an airline that corresponds in size and dynamics to Nigeria’s market, geography and fortune. The kind of infrastructure we are witnessing today under Nigeria Air is precisely what we need.”
Sirika clarified that Nigeria Air is an independent entity, separate from Nigeria’s laws and is the result of a partnership between Nigerian entrepreneurs and Ethiopian Airlines. He emphasised that there are no legal restrictions preventing the introduction of developmental projects for the benefit of the Nigerian people.
“It is within our rights to undertake endeavours that promote the general well-being of Nigeria and Nigerians. The aviation sector plays a central role in driving our economy and adding value to the GDP. This remains the government’s focus,” he explained.
Highlighting the growth of aviation in Nigeria, the outgoing minister stated that the industry experienced significant expansion before and even during the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of airlines and aircraft doubled between 2015 and the present.
When asked about the commencement of operations, Sirika responded, “Establishing an airline involves fulfilling certain conditions set by the regulators, namely the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). Once this aircraft is here, we will initiate a demonstration flight to showcase our capabilities. The duration of the demonstration flight ranges from 0 to 48 hours, but it could be shorter, such as 2 or 5 hours, to demonstrate our capabilities. I trust that the NCAA will take the necessary steps to provide a clear date and time for takeoff.”
He further explained the business plan, stating, “Over the next five years, we plan to reach a fleet of 35 aircraft. It will be a gradual process, with aircraft arriving one after another. If everything goes as planned, by the end of the next five years, we will have achieved the target of 35 aircraft. Nigeria Air is a privately-led airline, with the government holding a 5 per cent stake. Eventually, it will be offered to the public for sale. The Boeing 737 Max is the chosen aircraft model.”
The chief commercial officer of Ethiopian Airlines at Bole International Airport, Lemma Gudete expressed his belief that Nigeria Air will become a billion-dollar company within five years.
“Strengthening ties between these two nations will enhance business relations and people-to-people connections. We are committed to sharing our expertise in aviation and supporting Nigeria’s economic growth. We thank the Nigerian government for choosing Ethiopian Airlines as a reliable partner, as we have consistently stood by the people of Nigeria, regardless of the circumstances,” he added.

15 Sep Black Swift Technologies Addresses NASA’s Expanded Interest In Exploration of Venus’ Clouds
Black Swift Technologies was awarded a NASA contract to design an aerial vehicle capable of conducting upper atmospheric observations of the planet Venus. The planetary aerial vehicle being proposed is based on dynamic soaring, a proven method to extract energy from atmospheric shear that has propelled the fastest small-scale aircraft in the world, and provided the energy necessary for long-endurance low-level flights of birds across oceans.
“While there have been a variety of systems proposed for upper atmospheric observations of Venus, the planet’s high wind speeds pose a significant design challenge,” emphasizes Jack Elston, Ph.D., CEO of Black Swift Technologies. “Our solution will be designed to not only survive in the harsh wind environment, but also simultaneously perform targeted sampling of the atmosphere while continuously extracting energy, even on the dark side of the planet.”
Details behind this revolutionary approach to planetary atmospheric research is found in the white paper titled, “In Situ Exploration of Venus’ Clouds by Dynamic Soaring – Expanding Sampling Capabilities Through Energy Harvesting.”

I was on the search for some image footage of space shuttle Discovery at the launch pad (now with the payload integrated). In one of the NASA webcams I came across this nice picture. It shows the crawler transporter heading back from the pad. As the webcams are usually live, it looks like the crawler has parked at the pad.

An astronaut in her space suit has a total mass of 87.0 kg, including suit and oxygen tank. Her tether line loses its attachment to her spacecraft while sheâs on a spacewalk. Initially at rest with respect to her spacecraft, she throws her 12.0 - kg oxygen tank away from her spacecraft with a speed of 8.00 m/s to propel herself back toward it (Fig. P6.29).
(a) Determine the maximum distance she can be from the craft and still return within 2.00 min (the amount of time the air in her helmet remains breathable).
(b) Explain in terms of Newtonâs laws of motion why this strategy works. Figure P6.29:

The Juno spacecraft is just weeks away from the planet Jupiter. The craft carries several instruments that will help scientists peer into the giant planet’s interior. It also carries a few trinkets: a plaque honoring Galileo Galilei, the first person to study Jupiter through a telescope, as well as three aluminum Legos. One depicts Galileo, another is the god Jupiter, and the third is his wife, Juno, who could peer through hubby’s veil of clouds to see what he was up to.
Spacecraft have been launching with messages, trinkets, and other goodies for decades. The Voyager missions carried gold phonograph records with pictures, sounds, and video clips. Today, as the Voyagers escape the solar system, those messages are heading for the stars.
Many spacecraft carry the names of well-wishers. That began with the Cassini mission to Saturn, which launched in 1997. The signatures of would-be Saturnians were scanned and stored on a DVD — more than 600,000 of them, all of which will continue to orbit Saturn until the mission ends next year.
In addition to names, the Mars-orbiting MAVEN mission carries thousands of haiku. And a DVD aboard Phoenix, a Mars lander, was packed with 80 novels and short stories about Mars, along with a gallery of more than 60 works of art.
And New Horizons, which flew past Pluto last year, carried some of the ashes of Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered the little world, as well as other objects. More about that tomorrow.

Projects:2018s1-109 High-Resolution Change Prediction using Sparse Spatio-temporal Data
Supervisor: Brian Ng | Students: Liam Mellor, Lucas Sargent | Consilium PoC: Anthony Milton
This project aims to develop a machine learning system capable of predicting changes in high resolution satellite imagery. A convolutional neural network can learn the spatial transforms undergone by a series of images regardless of size, this project will focus on applying transforms learnt in one resolution to images of a higher resolution. Starting with a sequence of lower resolution images taken at various points in time, and given an initial high resolution image, the system should be able to generate a higher resolution counterpart to match any time spanned by the lower resolution series. The lower resolution series needs to be considered sparse as a variety of factors including exact satellite position and cloud coverage will affect the information available for the network to learn. The application of this project is to increase the frequency of available high resolution satellite images, however the approach taken and techniques learned could be applied to a variety of lossy data problems, such as video compression or small sensor amalgamation. This project requires students to: gain knowledge in deep and convolution machine learning technologies, develop and adapt machine learning techniques for satellite imagery (GIS data) and build robust machine learning networks capable of operating with minimal homogeneous data.

CHICAGO (AP) — An Illinois woman’s bag of moon dust brought to earth by Apollo 11 astronauts will be auctioned off later this year.
The Chicago Tribune reports (http://trib.in/2qaZSjj) Nancy Lee Carlson of suburban Chicago bought the moon dust for $995 at a 2015 government auction.
After she sent it to Johnson Space Center for authentication, officials deemed it government property and confiscated it. The government said the “rare artifact” was mistakenly sold. It was recovered in 2003 during a criminal investigation against a Kansas space museum director and misidentified.
A federal judge ruled in December he didn’t have the authority to reverse the sale and the moon dust belonged to Carlson.
The Sotheby’s auction will take place July 20, the 48th anniversary of the landing of Apollo 11.

There is a huge increase in population in India. The increase in population has led to an increase in the traffic in the metro cities in the country. The top cities in the country were ranked in the top positions for the highest traffic worldwide.
To bring a solution to this huge traffic and the delay caused because of that various startups have been working towards building Air Taxis. Let’s look at some of the Air Taxi startups in India.
UDAN Scheme Air Taxi Service
India’s first Air Taxi service was first launched at the Chandigarh airport. It was inaugurated on 14 January 2021 by the Chief Minister of Haryana Manohar Lal Khattar. The Air Taxi service is launched under the UDAN scheme of the Central Government.
Airports Authority of India had tweeted on their official Twitter handle saying that India’s first Air Taxi flight was flagged off by the Chief Minister of Haryana as part of their Inauguration. They added that the flight will operate under the Regional Connectivity Scheme RCS-UDAN.
The Chief Minister of Haryana said that this is the first time in the country that a small aircraft is used for services in the form of an Air Taxi.
The Air Taxi can carry one pilot and three passengers. The Air Taxi has the lightest plane which has a twin-engine in the world. Its weight is 760 kg. The aircraft uses a standard 92 octane petroleum which is different from the normal flights which use Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF).
The aircraft can travel at a range of 742 Nautical Miles. The services can be availed at INR 1,755 per seat. The main objective of the aircraft is in line with the government’s aim to connect the Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities with the metro cities of the Country.
A subsidy is provided by the government to the airlines per seat to provide better connectivity to the smaller towns. As per the reports the airline will cover around 26 routes under Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) UDAN.
Ubifly technology is a Chennai-based startup that is working on developing e-planes in the country. Ubifly Technologies Private Limited was founded in the year 2016. The company is commonly known as the e-plane company.
It was founded by Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy and Panjal Mehta. The Startup is concentrated on developing electric planes and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The main aim of the startup is to bring a new definition for intracity travels and their products focus on short-distance intracity travels.
The company is trying to build a hybrid mix of drones and electric airplane technology. The vehicle will take off and land similar to the drone but will move forward in the air like an airplane.
The Startup has already designed three UAV models, Ek Hanz which will be used for delivering goods and services, Scout which is for security and surveillance, Vayu which will be a hybrid autopilot e-plane.
The company will develop a two-seater air taxi which will be called as e200.
IIT Kanpur Air Taxi
IIT Kanpur had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with VTOL Aviation India Pvt. Ltd. The deal is worth INR 15 crore. VTOL Aviation India Pvt. Ltd is an Indian private aviation company. The MOU is for building prototypes that will be operational and will be used as flying taxis.
The project is expected to be completed by 2023 where over 100 researchers from IIT Kanpur are working towards developing a fully functional prototype.
According to the deal, the researchers will first conduct a test to identify the feasibility of the project. This is to understand the key technological areas of the project and the rest of the project is expected to be completed by 5 years.
Ajay Ghosh who is the head of the Aerospace Engineering and the Flight Lab at IIT Kanpur has said that there will be more than 100 students working on the project in the coming years.
The researchers will work on developing the aircraft based on VTOL technology that is vertical takeoff and landing. They are working towards building an electric aircraft to promote clean energy and sustainability.
Uber Air Taxi
Uber is working on developing an aircraft based on e-VTOL that is electric vertical take-off and landing. These are considered to be cleaner, cheaper, and safer than helicopters. Uber Elevate is working towards developing aerial ridesharing with Uber Air and is expected to take off in 2023.
In 2020 it was announced that Joby Aviation will acquire Uber Elevate. Both the parent companies have agreed to integrate their services into each other’s app.
Uber had announced that Dallas and Los Angeles as the two cities to begin their Air Taxi and Melbourne, Australia as its first international city to move forward with its expansion.
Uber has also said that it has shortlisted 5 countries other than the US to expand its Air Taxi services which include Japan, India, Australia, Brazil, and France.
Vinata Aeromobility is developing a Full Autonomous Hybrid Flying car through Advance Aeromobility by using combined technology of quadcopter VTOL hybrid power urban air mobility systems and integrated electric power 4 wheel drive motor with advanced aerospace engineering cutting edge technologies.
According to Yogesh Ramanathan, Founder, and CEO of Vinata Aeromobility, the company is hoping to perform flight trials of their Hybrid-electric Flying car by 2023 and make it available for Commercial flights by 2025.
It can fly at a speed of 100 to 120 kilometers per hour and can carry two passengers at the same time, with a maximum flight time of 60 minutes at a maximum height of 3,000 feet.
Other than these some more companies are working towards the Air Taxi services around the globe which include Vertical Aerospace, Hyundai’s helping hand, a joint venture between the Boeing company and Kitty Hawk Corporation.
What does Air Taxi mean?
Air taxis are small commercial airplanes used for short flights between localities.
Which company is going to start a drone air taxi service in India?
Malaysian budget airline AirAsia is planning to launch a flying-taxi business as soon as next year.
Does Dubai have a flying Air taxi?
Dubai has one of the first major projects of Air taxis, The Autonomous Air Taxi (AAT) is an 18-rotor drone taxi. The company claims to be the world's first 'self-flying taxi service'.

Elon Musk wants all of us to leave for Mars as soon as possible because we’re currently living on a dying planet.
How does he plan on doing that?
Well, recent events (such as a YouTube SpaceX video) have suggested that Musk’s SpaceX has been busy working on plans to create a city of Mars. But that, still hypothetical, city on Mars won’t be just your average looking city. According to the SpaceX founder, Elon Musk, that city will be a self-sustaining one.
SpaceX recently revealed a video which showed how the company intended to reach Mars.
Consequently, we’re more or less clear on how SpaceX plans to land on Mars.
However, what’s not so apparent is how will people actually survive in the red planet’s atmosphere.
Speaking during an address at the International Astronautical Congress convention, which took place in Guadalajara, Mexico, Musk hinted on revealing his plans about how his company was going to send people to Mars, not just for a space expedition but to actually live there.
Addressing the audience, Musk said that while he didn’t have an immediate doomsday prophecy, he was of the opinion that humans as a species really had only two possibilities for its survival.
He furthered explained and said that one path was to stay on Earth forever until an extinction event occurred sometime in the future.
Elon further added that the other option, a better alternative, was to become a multi-planetary species which he hoped everyone would agree was the right way to go.
Of course, the idea of leaving Earth to inhabit another planet seems pretty bright. Except that SpaceX doesn’t really have a great track record of leaving the Earth’s atmosphere let alone actually reach Mars and enable humans to live on the red planet.
Elon Musk’s “leave earth now” plan seems even less convincing considering the fact that less than a month ago, SpaceX’s rockets prevented from take off because of an inexplicable explosion.
The explosion caused the company’s Falcon 9 rockets to burst into flames without ever leaving its launchpad site.
After initial investigations, SpaceX revealed the results of its inspection teams and said that the cause of the explosion (the fire) could be traced back to a breach that occurred in Falcon 9’s helium supply.
Later, SpaceX said that the company had made concrete plans to send one of its rockets into space again by the month of November.
Before the start of the main presentation, the company revealed a what could be called a legitimate sneak peek preview of the company’s new ITS (Interplanetary Transport System) and what should people expect from SpaceX’s audacious plan to leave the planet to inhabit Mars.
Readers should also know that SpaceX’s Interplanetary Transport System was previously known as the Mars Colonial Transporter.
SpaceX, in other words, Elon Musk changed the name of the transport system a few weeks ago citing that the interplanetary transport system could also take humans to other planets in the solar system apart from Mars.
To get a better visual idea of how SpaceX along with Elon Musk, plan to send humans to Mars, watch the video below.
As mentioned earlier, the video which was released on YouTube by SpaceX’s official YouTube channel, provides a pretty good look at how the company plans to send humans to Mars. The sequence of various events that would take place to make the system work have been clearly outlined.
In the first part of the video, viewers can observe the rocket taking off from Cape Canaveral Launch Pad 39a.
The rocket is said to have about 28,730,000 pounds of upward force behind it. Moving forwards, the video shows the event after stage separation takes place.
Essentially, the spacecraft positions itself at a single place in orbit while the other separated part, the booster, heads back towards the Earth where it is shown to land.
The SpaceX video then shows a fuel tanker that is loaded onto the booster in order to provide the spacecraft the required fuel in orbit to complete the planned trip from Earth to Mars.
The propellant tanker is then shown returning to Earth while the spacecraft moves ahead with its route to Mars.
The spacecraft then deploys solar arrays and then cruises towards its destination until the spacecraft finally reaches Mars orbit.
The spacecraft is then shown landing on the surface of Mars and the final moments of the video show a brief look of the astronauts who are looking out onto the red planet’s plains.
What many of the viewers might not have noticed in the video is the fact that the video, at no point, shows any type of infrastructure which would be able to support the astronauts that landed on Mars.
And that was the whole plan right? Musk wanted to land humans on the surface of Mars not just to take samples or grow potatoes, but to actually live there. From the video shown, there seems to be nothing that indicates the presence of any technology that might help the astronauts survive the atmosphere on Mars for a long period of time.
In other words, as far the video is concerned, SpaceX forget to tell the audience how it planned on keeping humans alive after they’ve landed on Mars.
Judging by Elon Musk’s talk, it seems likely that SpaceX actually wants to send humans to Mars who would be able to develop the planet and build a permanent place of residence for other humans to come and live in.
We also know that SpaceX’s program includes 1000 ships, with each ship carrying about 200 people. Musk said during his address that in order to build self-sustaining cities on Mars, it would take around 40 to 100 years.
To put it another way, none of us would be alive to see the completion of Elon Musk’s self-sustaining city on Mars. Not sure about Elon Musk though, he might be able to come up with a self-preservation suit which allows him to live for a thousand years.
But of course, one of the main problems with the whole project is the amount of money it would take to complete the mission to Mars.
Elon Musk approximated the cost of the sending people to Mars would be around the $10 billion mark.
The founder and current CEO of the company, Elon Musk, also laid out the details on how humans would be able to afford the cost of going to Mars.
He said that there were essentially four ways in which the ticket to Mars would become a feasible option for most people.
Of course, we don’t know for sure that people would be able to buy a ticket to Mars as they buy a house anytime soon but Musk said that using methods such as reusable rockets, being able to refuel the spacecraft in orbit, discarding conventional rocket fuel for methane fuel and harvesting the methane fuel for the use of spacecraft on Mars itself, the travel to Mars might become a reality for many people living on earth.
SpaceX’s presentation on its plan to send humans to Mars also provided sufficient information about the rocket the company would use to send people to Mars and what would the experience be like for people travelling to Mars in one of the many SpaceX spaceships.
As was the case with Falcon 9, or rather as is the case with Falcon 9, the rocket booster used on the Interplanetary Transport System will be able to safely land and then be re-used.
As of this moment, the company can confidently boast about how SpaceX has already managed to land several of its Falcon 9 rockets on earth after a successful flight.
However, SpaceX hasn’t been able to fly any of the used rockets back into the orbit. So it remains to be seen how the company moves forward and develops the technology that allows it to send used rockets back into the orbit for more space missions.
As indicated before, one of the essential features of the plan to reuse rockets. To reuse rockets, SpaceX has to find a way to send the rockets back into space from the surface of Mars.
In other words, SpaceX has to successfully demonstrate that the company has the capability to send one of its Falcon 9 rockets back into space.
Needless to say, the ability to reuse rockets will be critical for SpaceX if the company wants to attract more interest from the people or even show that the plan to send humans to Mars is indeed a tenable one.
It was also revealed the SpaceX’s rocket that would be used to send humans to Mars, would easily dwarf the size of the largest rocket that is available anywhere in the world.
Yes, SpaceX’s rocket to send humans to Mars will be larger than the now-obsolete Saturn V. It will also be much bigger than SpaceX’s own Falcon Heavy.
To put it another way, SpaceX’s “save-the-humans” rocket will be unbelievably large.
As might be expected, some of the “humans” living on earth might not warm up to the idea of being locked up in a spacecraft for a period of months with nothing in sight other than more humans. Some might even consider it rather depressing.
However, according to Elon Musk, people don’t have to worry about dying of boredom while they travel to Mars in a spaceship.
During the presentation, Elon Musk said that it would be really fun to go Mars on a SpaceX spaceship and people would have a great time throughout the journey.
Of course, in order to achieve that Elon Musk will have to find a way to make such as long journey as comfortable as possible for the passengers on board. The company will have to make the inside of the rocket reasonably pleasant and homelike.
The journey from Earth to Mars is expected to take around 80 days if and when SpaceX comes up with the required technology to actually get to Mars.
Being an optimist as he is, Musk said that he expected the company to cut down the total time of the journey to Mars to under a month.
Is the plan feasible? Can SpaceX pull off such a plan?
Well, it really comes down to how SpaceX will manage to gather up enough money to go ahead with the project.
Making a comment on this issues, Musk said that he would reckon that it would be a great challenge to fund the whole project.
Elon Musk did spend quite a bit of time talking about how SpaceX would deal with the economics of making the ticket to Mars affordable. He also added that the price of travelling to Mars could, one day, become as low as $100,000 (which of course isn’t exactly peanuts but compared to the previous figure of $10 billion, it is mighty low).
Elon Musk also suggested that in order to complete the project he would be ready to exhaust some of his own assets.
He said that he really didn’t have any other motivation for personally accumulating assets, except to make the largest contribution he could, to make life multi-planetary.
But even if we assume that Musk spends most of this $11 billion he would still need an immense amount of financial support from other sources.
Talking about the matter Musk said that he knew there were a lot of people in the private sector interested in funding a trip to Mars.He further added that hopefully there would be interest in the government side as well and that ultimately the Mars project would be a huge private-public partnership.
But before all of that happens, Musk has to go into more details about what he meant when he said that the project included building “self-sustaining: cities.
In any case, if SpaceX becomes successful in landing humans on Mars then that opens up the possibility of travelling to other planets as well.
Musk noted that if SpaceX had a propellant depot, humans would be able to go from Mars to Jupiter without encountering any problems. He further added that it would mean full access to the entire greater solar system.
Musk also showed interest in landing humans on Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons.

United Airlines is testing a digital health pass under a global pilot program. This serves to establish a common international standard for coronavirus test results. Eventually, it should lead to vaccine records that could help reopen borders. The nonprofit initiative is called CommonPass and is backed by the World Economic Forum and The Commons Project. The initiators hope to persuade governments to ease the restrictions and quarantines. For they have slammed air travel...

A number of countries require airline passengers to present evidence of a negative corona test result. There are people who, for whatever reason, are unable to get such an attest. According to the British newspaper Lancashire Telegraph it’s possible for unscrupulous individuals to obtain a false test result. The newspaper has seen evidence of passengers using another person’s negative corona test result and doctoring the name and date to match their own.Read more
A modernized air traffic management in European airspace and establishing more sustainable and efficient flight paths. That’s what the European Commission is proposing. And it adds that not adapting air traffic control capacities would result in additional costs, delays and more CO2 emissions. In 2019, delays cost the EU €6 billion ($5.1 billion), and led to 11.6 million tons of excess CO2. Obliging pilots to fly in congested airspace rather than taking a direct flight path also entails unnecessary CO2 emissions. And the same is true when...Read more
It is sensational what the chief project engineer for the Boeing 737 MAX tells House investigators. When he approves a design change to software on the plane, he is not only unaware of key details about how the software works. But he is also unaware of a previous warning from a test pilot that if the system malfunctions, the results could be catastrophic.Read more
The test flights of the Boeing 737 MAX by the EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) are now completed. They took place in Vancouver, Canada due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. The next step in the evaluation of the aircraft for return to service is analyzing the data gathered during the test flights. This phase will start in London Gatwick Airport on September 14, 2020 where the Joint Operations Evaluation Board (JOEB) will meet.Read more
On August 30, 2020, an American Airlines pilot sees a man flying in a jetpack in the path of incoming jets to Los Angeles International Airport. He estimates the jetpack is only about 300 yards (275 meters) out of his window. The plane is approaching the airport at about 3,000 feet (900 meters) and 10 miles (16 km) out for landing. The pilot reports his observation of the jetpack to air traffic control. Moments later a Southwest pilot confirms the jetpack report. Watch a Read more

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) released a study of ground operations occurrences at Australian airports from 1998 to 2008. The key to preventing ground occurrences appears to revolve around ensuring effective communication between pilots, ground crews and air traffic services through a process of checks and balances.
The aviation industry has been slow to acknowledge the risks associated with ground operations. While most occurrences on airport aprons and taxiways do not have consequences in terms of loss of life, they are often associated with aircraft damage, delays to passengers and avoidable financial costs to industry.
The most common contributing factor to ground operations occurrences were individual actions. For occurrences between 1998 and 2008, these most frequently involved action errors, where a person deviated either from plans or standard operating procedures. Common examples were towbar connection procedures and pushback errors, like turning back too sharply with the tug and damaging the nose or landing gear of the aircraft. Less frequently, individual action errors were associated with a violation, information, or decision error. Violations involved a deliberate intention to deviate from standard operating procedures. Examples included opening the doors while the aircraft anti-collision beacon was operating, or vehicle drivers failing to give-way to aircraft on the apron or taxiways. Decision errors indicated that planned actions were not adequate for the situation; for example,

Drone pilots undertake training on Sunshine Coast
The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Drones will take to the skies over Mooloolaba Beach today as part of a training course to upskill drone pilots.
The operators from across the region are undertaking a three-day course to allow them to fly larger drones.
Surf Life Saving Queensland Project Manager Drone Operations Jason Argent said the pilots currently operate sub-2kg drones and are being trained to operate sub-7kg drones.
“These pilots have been flying smaller drones, but now they will be able to fly larger drones enhancing our surveillance capabilities,” he said.
“The course includes both practical and theory elements, with the pilots putting their skills to the test on the final day when they demonstrate their flying ability.”
“Successful completion of the course will see them gain their remote pilot licence.”
Drones provide a different perspective and viewpoint, further boosting the level of protection offered by patrols.
“Drones can relay vision with pinpoint accuracy, assisting to spot rips and monitor marine life,” Mr Argent said.
“The additional training will enable us to continue regular surveillance patrols at Sunshine Coast beaches as part of the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Drone program.”
Most beachgoers would have seen drones operating on popular Sunshine Coast beaches throughout the school holidays, with more than 40 flights conducted.

An Italian economist says his flight was delayed after a fellow passenger saw him working on a differential equation and alerted the cabin crew.
He showed them what he had been writing and the flight took off more than two hours late.
Mr Menzio said the pilot seemed embarrassed and wrote on Facebook the experience was “unbelievable” and made him laugh.
The professor was on board the Philadelphia-Syracuse flight on Thursday on his way to Ontario, where he was due to give a lecture. Before the flight took off, the woman next to him gave a note to a member of the cabin crew.
She initially told them she was feeling ill, but lather voiced her suspicions about Mr Menzio’s writings.
American Airlines, whose partner Air Wisconsin was operating the flight, said the crew followed protocol to take care of a ill passenger and later to investigate her allegations. It was established they were not credible and she was re-booked on a later flight.

NASA's Orion spacecraft clicks stunning images of Moon, Earth; Check out
NASA's Artemis spacecraft has successfully arrived at the moon after finally blasting off from Earth last week. The spacecraft also sent back images of Earth looking extremely tiny like a 'pale blue dot' from 230,000 miles( 370149.12 km) away. Check them out.
NASA's Orion space capsule reached the Moon on Monday (November 21). Although it didn't land on the Moon's surface, it was just 81 miles away when flying close to Earth's only satellite. The far side of the Moon, which is usually black, was whirled around by Orion. Since NASA's Apollo programme 50 years ago, this is the first time a spacecraft has visited the Moon. A significant accomplishment for NASA is the Orion spacecraft.
When the crew capsule and its three wired-up dummies were on the other side of the moon, the near approach of 81 miles (130 km) happened as the capsule's cameras snapped a photo of Earth. NASA said so far the mission has "exceeded expectations" since last week's launch.
The aircraft also sent back images of Earth looking extremely tiny like a 'pale blue dot' from 230,000 miles( 370149.12 km) away.
A little over an hour later, Orion flew over Tranquility Base, the site of the July 20, 1969, landing of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
Earlier on Saturday, NASA also published a collection of breath-taking Orion selfies, showcasing the human-rated spacecraft shimmering against the blackness of space. The Orion spacecraft was intended to circle the moon for about a week. On December 11, it will make a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.

So, this past week, I had a chance to visit a few more aircraft from that era.
The B-17 Flying Fortress "Aluminum Overcast" is up in Leesburg, VA this weekend, and I went by the airport this afternoon to check out the airplane. They're giving revenue rides in the morning, and then you can tour the airplane in the afternoon.
Flying in a B-17 is quite an experience. In 1990, I flew in the B-17G "Texas Raiders," operated by the Gulf Coast Wing of the Commemorative Air Force. Here's a video from a 2007 flight in Napa, CA.
Earlier in the week, I visited the National Capitol Squadron of the CAF, a great organization once based in the town I grew up, Harlingen, TX, until 1991, when they moved to Midland, TX. They operated annual their annual Airsho in the first week of October, where there would be aerobatic groups like the US Air Force "Thunderbirds" or the US Navy "Blue Angels," as well as recreations of World War II air battles. It was a history lesson you couldn't get in a classroom, and it instilled in me and appreciation of our history, our nation, and those who have defended it. During the 1980s, legendary singer and former B-29 bombardier "Tennessee" Ernie Ford was a guest announcer, and wrote "The Ballad of the Ghost Squadron" for the group.
The National Capitol Squadron consists mostly of training aircraft, like the SNJ, a Navy version of the AT-6 Texan trainer (in the right, lower corner of photo below).
...as well as a BT-13 Valiant basic trainer. This is the type of airplane my grandfather, as a USAAF air cadet, was killed in a training accident, right before he would have received his wings to fight in World War II.
The National Capitol Squadron is located off of Hwy. 29 near Culpeper, VA. They have an Open Hangar Day on the second Saturday of the month. If you're in the area, drop by.

“I guess by the looks on your faces you realize the weather forecast for today.” Jason broke the somber silence. The clouds were low, and light fog whisped on the mountains around the Beliem River like cobwebs.
“Those of you flying the southern routes – Doug, Bryan, Steve, and John – consider staying home with your families. This is a good time to take the day off and catch up on whatever paperwork you might have,” Jason said as he traced a pointer along the wall map. “The rest of you have somewhat clear flying ahead but be prepared for the worst if the weather changes.”
“Jason,” Steve said. “I think today would be great for getting John used to flying under conditions he will most likely face. He seems to grasp the fundamentals of flight related to the mountainous areas and is impressive flying under simulated fog conditions.”
“I understand, but what are you suggesting? Not flying would actually be the proper realistic response to the weather condition,” said Jason.
“No sir, just fly a little north of here and come south a little to see how he handles the light fog,” Steve explained. “I can point out terrain features to help him make the right decisions.”

NASA, Idaho State University Team Up for Lava Flow Research
ARCO, Idaho (AP) — Idaho State University and NASA are collaborating on research that may help scientists find life on other planets and improve radar to land rovers more safely on Mars.
The Idaho State Journal reports two teams are researching lava flows at the Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve using rocks that ISU Geosciences assistant professor Shannon Kobs-Nawotniak says are very similar to those found on Mars. One section of research is meant to help improve radar so rovers can land more safely.
Another is examining how bacteria, viruses, and other microbial life evolve in lava flows on Earth, which could help scientists find evidence of life on other planets. NASA is funding the research. Field tests started Aug. 1 and are continuing through Friday.

Poland, 16th country to purchase US-made Patriot air defense missiles
The government of Poland signed an agreement to purchase Raytheon's combat proven Patriot air defense missiles from the U.S. Army. The agreement, formally referred to as a Letter of Offer and Acceptance, paves the way for Poland's Patriot force to rapidly reach Initial Operational Capability, and sets the stage for the U.S. government to begin contract negotiations with Raytheon and its industry partners.
PATRIOT is the backbone of NATO and Europe's defense against ballistic and cruise missiles, advanced aircraft and drones (Picture source DVIDS)
"Poland joins the now 15-nation-strong group of countries which trust Patriot to defend their citizens, military and sovereignty," said Wes Kremer, President of Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems. "Poland's procurement of Patriot strengthens Trans-Atlantic partnership and security by enabling a common approach to Integrated Air and Missile Defense, and creating jobs in the US and Poland."
PATRIOT stands for “Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept on Target”. It is the backbone of NATO and Europe's defense against ballistic and cruise missiles, advanced aircraft and drones. NATO Nations with Patriots are: The US, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, and Spain currently have Patriot. On Nov. 29th, Romania signed an LOA for Patriot, making it the 6th NATO member state to procure Patriot. Additionally, a Congressional notification regarding a potential Patriot sale to Sweden has been completed.
Patriot in Poland: Prior to signing the LOA, Poland agreed to an industrial-participation proposal offered by Raytheon and its industry partners. To facilitate Poland's self-sufficiency, which is required by Polish law, Raytheon will transfer technology to the extent permitted by US law and regulations.
This LOA is for Phase I of "WISLA," Poland's two-phase medium-range Integrated Air and Missile Defense procurement. Under Phase II, Poland has stated it intends to acquire additional Patriot fire units, Gallium-Nitride-based 360-degree Active Electronically Scanning Array Radar, and SkyCeptor, a low-cost interceptor missile.
The MIM-104 Patriot is a surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, the primary of its kind used by the United States Army and several allied nations. Patriot uses an advanced aerial interceptor missile and high performance radar systems. The Patriot system is modular and highly mobile. A battery-sized element can be emplaced in less than 1 hour. The role of the Patriot is to defend against airborne threats as part of an integrated air and missile defence system. Notable characteristics of the missile system include a short response time, the ability to engage multiple targets simultaneously, good ground mobility, and the ability to resist electronic jamming.
The first Patriot air defence systems were deployed by U.S. Forces in the mid-1980s. During the first Gulf War, it was used to defend against the Iraqi Scud missile threat. The Patriot system has evolved over the years as the threat has changed and technology has advanced. The current variants are equipped with advanced interceptor missiles and high performance radar systems.
The latest variant in the Patriot missile family, the PAC-3 missile has increased effectiveness against tactical ballistic and cruise missiles, through the use of advanced hit-to-kill technology. It can destroy aerial targets flying at a maximum range of 160 km and ballistic missiles at a maximum range of 35, at a maximum flight altitude of 24,200m.

After a year of creative ideas materialized into cost-saving initiatives, process improvements and time management incentives, the Innovate Now project team has accomplished their mission.
The objective of the 45th Space Wing’s Year of Innovation during 2014 and its affiliated basewide program has closed out but an innovative mindset continues at Team Patrick-Cape.
“You know we are not getting more people and we are not getting more money, so we are still going to have to continue to think our way through solving problems,” said Maj. Gen. (sel.) Nina Armagno, 45th Space Wing commander, while presenting a recap of the Year of Innovation during a commander’s call, April 20. “What I hope the Year of Innovation did was engrain in you all that you are empowered to stand up, think differently and come up with creative, innovative solutions.”
At the beginning of 2014, Armagno assembled a team of volunteers to organize the Innovate NOW! initiative to empower individuals at all levels, airmen, civilians and contractors; to generate innovative ideas, streamline processes and reduce inefficiencies within wing organizations.
“This was an exciting project that ignited our airmen to think creatively about how we accomplish our mission; sharpen our focus and inspire those around us to ‘think outside the box,'” said Lt. Col. Laura Robinson, of the 5th Space Launch Squadron, who led the program for Team Patrick-Cape. “Our incredibly talented team worked out the details of some creative initiatives designed not only to get people thinking innovatively, but to create a repeatable, sustainable process that we all can use to capture and implement those solutions.”

The U.S. Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) announced on November 23 that Germany has ordered jam-resistant Global Positioning System receivers from the United States military, making it the first buyer of the advanced GPS user equipment under the Foreign Military Sales program.
The U.S. government’s Foreign Military Sales program manages the transfer of defence articles, services, and training to international partners.
The Space and Missile Systems Center of The United States announced that Germany ordered the undisclosed quantity of Military Code (M-Code) capable GPS user equipment on September 30.
The sale of M-Code user equipment to 58 nations was approved by the secretary of the Air Force and the office of the secretary of defence. The delivery of the equipment to Germany is expected in 2021.
According to SpaceNews, SMC also stated that additional foreign military sales of M-Code user equipment is set to take place soon. “We’re engaged with several nations in bilateral M-Code prototyping, demonstration, and lead platform planning efforts.”
M-Code is an advanced upgrade of GPS signals, providing enhanced secure positioning, navigation, and timing, along with anti-jam and anti-spoofing functionalities.
According to SMC, the sale of this equipment to allies helps “improve interoperability with our defense partners’ equipment.”
M-Code receivers were being developed for the last ten years under a $1.4 billion program, known as Military Global Positioning System User Equipment.
GPS user equipment consists of receivers, antennas, and other electronics, which together help provide critical navigation and time information, transmitted from GPS satellites.
Since 2012, Raytheon, L3Harris, and BAE Systems (which bought over Rockwell Collins’ military GPS business) have been contractually producing M-Code receivers. Presently, the M-Code signal is being broadcast by 22 of the 31 GPS satellites in operation.

Air India's Amritsar-Rome direct flight resumes from September 8
From September 8, Air India is all set to start a direct Amritsar-Rome flight from Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport, Amritsar, Punjab. Earlier, the airport had established direct air connectivity with Heathrow, London and Birmingham.
According to the schedule that Air India has released, the flight AI123 will take off from Amritsar every Wednesday at 3.55pm, with arrival in Rome the same day at 8.20pm local time. The return flight AI122 will depart from Rome the next day, Thursday, at 7pm and reach Amritsar on Friday morning at 5.35am. The bookings will remain open till October 28, which is the end of summer season in the airline industry. Air India will operate its Boeing 787 Dreamliner on this route.
Earlier, the air passengers had to pay hefty fare to reach their destination through connecting flights via other countries and complete quarantine requirements during the transit. This direct flight will now reduce the cost and also their travel time to just 7 to 8 hours.
At present, Amritsar is India’s only airport that is directly connected with two airports in the UK. With the resumption of Rome flight, it will be the only airport in India after Delhi directly connecting with three destinations in Europe by the Indian national carrier.
In a press note, Sameep Singh Gumtala, Global Convener of FlyAmritsar Initiative, said that this will benefit the Punjabi diaspora in Italy.
It’s a major relief for thousands of people, stranded in India due to Italy’s decision to ban direct flights in late April this year, he added.

Ever since I was about 15 I had this dream of flying. I loved everything and anything with altitude. The higher I was, the better. As a kid I would always climb on roof of the house and look over the other houses to get a better view. I wanted to make flying my profession so upon leaving school, I drove to Moorabbin airport to investigate flight schools. In my investigations, I learned that you needed at least 1000 hours flying time before any commercial airline would accept you into their programme. Flying for Qantas would have been a dream come true. However my dreams were soon crushed when I found out to obtain a commercial pilots licence would cost in excess of $20,000 and to gain 1000 hours flight time meant trying to find a job in the aviation industry and as a rookie is not easy. I was told that the best way to gain hours quickly was to move to remote areas of Australia where flying is the main source of transport. Not only was $20,000 an extreme amount of money back in those days (1990), my parents were not wealthy and I had just left school, so the thought of moving so far away from home was daunting. So my dream was crushed and my studies then lead me into Engineering as a metal fabricator. The money was good and this is where I have stayed until today. I still had a love for flying and found myself taking Joy flights where ever I could. I did an acrobatics flight in a Pit Special over Queenstown in New Zealand. I also went Heli-skiing whilst in New Zealand. I got to fly to the first ever Australian Grand Prix held at Albert Park in a Bell 206 Helicopter. I was also lucky enough to have many helicopter flights as my wife’s father worked at Jayrow Helicopters as the chief engineer. I also did a flight in a DC3 over to King Island just to go there for lunch. Something to do on a Sunday afternoon. These are just some of the many times I took to the sky, unfortunately it was with someone else at the controls.
Then in September 2016 a good friend of mine Rick and I were talking about our exploits of flying and our love to actually fly. Many years ago Rick mentioned to me he was taking flying lessons to obtain his Private Pilots Licence, but recently was looking into powered parachutes. He showed me some videos. “Now that looks awesome” I said. Rick owns a large property out the back of Tarneit, west of Melbourne and his recent investigations led him to Aerochute Industries. Rick and I both thoroughly investigated the safety of powered parachutes and found by all accounts claimed to be one of the safest forms of flying in the world. So it was decided this is what we want to do to finally fulfil a dream and a phone call was made to Stephen Conte from Aerochute Industries. Stephen is the founder and Chief Flight Instructor for Aerochute industries and talked to us about all aspects of flying his Aerochutes. It all sounded so perfect, so a booking was made to do an Introductory flight in November 2016 with Stephen.
The trial flight was nothing short of amazing and exhilarating and Stephen showed us how easy it was to fly an Aerochute. We did some low level flying and many turns at Stephen’s training ground. As we were flying, Stephen said over the intercom “take the controls and turn left and then right. “Are you sure” I was thinking, knowing there were 2 sets of toggles so Stephen could control the Aerochute at the same time. “I thought this is fantastic”. As I pulled down on the left toggle, the Aerochute began to banked left. Then a pull on the right toggle and off to the right we would go. It was so easy to fly and the view we had all the way to the City of Melbourne left me wanting more. Then over the intercom as we were flying in circuit, “Were are going to do some touch and go’s” Stephen said. Touch and go’s are were you land and take off again. Stephen made the landing feel so smooth, I couldn’t believe it. Four years ago prior to this day, I had broken my back in 3 places and have 2 titanium pins supporting my L1 vertebrae.
While my back feels 100% today,I did have a slight concern that the landing would be a little bumpy and maybe cause some aching in my back. However, not the case in the Aerochute. Stephen made the landings so soft that you could hardly tell you were back on the ground and then as the engine roars, you are off completing another touch and go.
It was that moment despite the exhilaration and adrenaline pumping through me that this is what I wanted to do. After a few touch and go’s, thinking that was the end of the ride, Stephen said “you can do a touch and go now”. The feeling of nervousness and excitement with some adrenaline thrown in as well was overwhelming. I was actually flying this thing and it feels amazing. Under his expert tuition, I circled the runway and lined up for my first touch and go. With Stephen coaching me through every step, I still couldn’t believe I was flying. As we lined up the runway, concentration levels at the highest, ground rushing up at me, running through all the checks, then the instruction came over the radio to “flare the parachute” and the Hummerchute we were flying gently touched down. “full power” was the next command and we were off flying again. “Did I really just do that” I said over the intercom. “You sure did” said Stephen. Wow, I can’t believe it and it’s so hard to put into words the feeling of flying an Aerochute, you just have to experience it yourself to understand. With no cockpit in your way, the air blowing in your face, un-obstructed views and knowing you are flying in one of the safest aircrafts in the world, I was hooked.
The introductory flight lasted about an hour in the air which in reality,only felt like 10 minutes, but it was time to land. After landing, the feeling of satisfaction and excitement was amazing. I was almost lost for words, which is unlike me. I shook Stephen’s hand and said “thanks so much for that, it was simply awesome”.
The smile on both mine and Rick’s faces said it all. This was it, this was what we wanted to do. All the way home this was all we could talk about. For weeks after both Rick and I would call each other and talk about that day and how we need to enrol to do out pilots licence with Aerochute Industries. Whenever Rick and I got together, flying and Aerochute was the only topic of conversation. I’m sure our families were getting sick of it.
Then it was decided. It was time to enrol and a visit to the Aerochute factory in Coburg, we were shown how the Aerochutes are designed and built. Stephen also explained the steps taken to obtain CASA certification on his Aerochutes. With all the boxes ticked, we decided to book in for the training course. This is finally real, this is really going to happen. I couldn’t sleep that night whenI got home due to the excitement. I became an overnight weather expert and I watched the weather forecast and waited in anticipation for Stephens phone call to say the weather was right and we will be flying this weekend.
Then the phone call came and we were to be at the airfield at 6.30am Saturday morning to start training. That night I was like a little kid on Christmas eve. I couldn’t sleep due to the excitement. Next minute the alarm goes off and I jump out of bed and get ready. Off to the airfield to start my dream. Rick was already there are well, obviously as excited as me.
Stephen showed us around and introduced us to James who is another flight instructor. We were showed how to do a safety checks over the aircraft and then a pilots brief on wind direction, runways, flight circuits, safety and basically how the day was going to run.
We then warmed up the aircraft and moved out onto the run way to set up the Aerochute. After being taught all the correct procedures in setting up the Aerochure, both the machine and the canopy, it was time to climb aboard with our instructors. A check of our comms complete, checking the wind direction done, Runway clear, harness secure, “CLEAR PROP” was the next command and the Aerochute roared into life. A small amount of acceleration and the canopy began to fill with air from the prop. As we slowly crept forward and the canopy centred directly over head it was full power and up into the air we went. It was amazing how quick and easy the Aerochute can take off.
Without boring you with all the details, both Rick and I spent the next several weekends flying beside an instructor leaning all the technical aspects and emergency procedures of flying an Aerochute. We had completed just over 5 hours flight time when Stephen said, “tomorrow we’ll do a dual flight check for solo”. That means if we pass and Stephen is satisfied we are competent, the next flight we will go up on our own.
During the flight check, both Rick and I demonstrated the necessary skills to satisfy Stephen that we are ready to go solo. With the solo examination complete, Stephen said we are both ready. So the following weekend it was time to do our first solo flight. Being a little nervous, but knowing we are in good hands and constant radio communications with Stephen, the first solo flight was totally exhilarating. Whilst enjoying the scenery from the air, Stephen maintained constant radio contact from the ground and was observing us closely. Whilst flying over the training ground, a herd of kangaroo’s were moving south, hopping graciously along the ground, what a sight. Looking at the horizon I could see the coastline around the bay. Looking a little further east and there was the city skyline. Wow…what a view!
Knowing that I am now flying by myself, whist still respecting the limitations and keeping constant vigilance on the task at hand, I realised, I have finally fulfilled my dream.
I was flying!
Rick and I continued our training until we reached the required flight time and were granted our pilot licence to fly. With an Aerochute each on the trailer, pilot licence in hand we were ready to let the adventure begin!
I just want to thank Stephen and James from Aerochute Industries for their professional tuition and for enabling me to finally live my lifelong dream.

An Air Canada flight was diverted to Orlando International Airport after officials said a passenger became aggressive, attacked the crew with pots of coffee and tried to open the cabin door while the plane was still in the air.
The man, later identified as Brandon Michael Courneyea, had to be secured to his seat by crew members and other passengers using zip ties, a federal criminal complaint said.
Courneyea was flying from Jamaica to Toronto Monday night when the incident happened, a federal criminal complaint said.
Crew members contacted the FBI at about 7:30 p.m. when a flight attendant reported Courneyea started to yell at fellow passengers “for looking at him,” the complaint said.
He then went to the back of the plane where he grabbed a pot of coffee from the galley and started to swing it aggressively at crew members, investigators said.
“Courneyea then stated that it would only take one guy to take the plane down and that he wanted to take everyone with him,” the criminal complaint said.
He then grabbed a second pot of coffee, prompting a flight attendant to confront him out of concern for other passengers, agents said.

Airplanes to steering wheels General Motors acquired Dayton-Wright in September of 1919, but GM didn’t stay in the airplane business. In 1922, GM began to sell a steering wheel invented by Dayton-Wright engineer Harvey D. Geyer, a former Wright Company employee. The Wright Company produced a variety of designs until Orville sold the firm and retired from aviation in 1915, three years after Wilbur’s premature death. Go to Many Lawsuits >> License-built Wright aircraft were produced in France and Germany. When Wright Aeronautical was incorporated in 1919, its charter was the design and manufacture of aero engines. Although the Wright brothers were no longer involved with the company Wilbur had died and Orville had other interests, it can be said that the Wright Aeronautical engine tradition began with the first Wright brothers' engine in 1903.

Emirates is reducing or downsizing flights to most Australian destinations from next month. Some flights have been cancelled, while other services will be downgraded from Airbus A380 to Boeing 777 services.
According to Routes Online, the Emirates service reductions vary by route. But most of the affected flights are during November this year or between mid-January and late March 2019.
First and Business Class passengers on flights downgraded from an A380 to a Boeing 777 will lose access to Emirates’ famous on-board bar and (for First passengers) in-flight showers. Business passengers also see their seats downgraded from lie-flat beds with direct aisle access, to angle-flat beds in a 2-3-2 configuration. For Economy passengers, Emirates’ Boeing 777 seats are narrower than on the A380.
If your flight has been cancelled, contact the airline to make alternative arrangements or request a refund.
Here is an overview of the changes to Emirates’ Australian and New Zealand services over the coming months:
The aircraft operating Emirates’ daily Adelaide-Dubai flight will be changed from a Boeing 777-300ER to a smaller Boeing 777-200LR from 28 October to 30 November 2018, and again from 1 February to 30 March 2019. The Emirates Boeing 777-200LR has no First Class cabin.
The daily Sydney-Bangkok-Dubai service will be downgraded from an Airbus A380 to a Boeing 777-300ER from 15 January 2019.
Emirates’ second-daily Perth-Dubai flight, EK424/425, will be reduced from daily to 4x weekly. These Emirates service reductions apply from 7-28 November 2018 and 2 February to 30 March 2019.
From 28 October, the daily Dubai-Singapore-Melbourne service will have a schedule change. The Singapore-Melbourne leg will change from a redeye to a mid-afternoon departure from Singapore, with an arrival in Melbourne just after midnight.
This route will also be downgraded from an Airbus A380 to a Boeing 777-300ER from 2-20 November 2018 and 15 January to 30 March 2019.
From 28 October, the daily Singapore-Brisbane service changes from a mid-afternoon departure from Singapore to a 10.10am takeoff time.
The changes to the Melbourne and Brisbane schedules are discussed on the Australian Frequent Flyer forum: EK retimes BNE and MEL departures from SIN
The Emirates service reductions also affect our friends in New Zealand. Emirates’ daily Auckland-Denpasar-Dubai flight will reduce to 5x weekly from 12 November to 5 December 2018. It will be further reduced to 4x weekly from 21 January to 30 March 2019.
Emirates will also drop its fifth-freedom route between Singapore and Colombo from 28 October.
Thai Airways also recently announced cuts to its Australian services. These too come into effect from 28 October. It was previously reported these service reductions would be temporary, but they now appear permanent.
Meanwhile, Etihad Airways will cease all flights to Perth from next week.

Astronauts on missions to the International Space Station, the moon, and beyond are exposed to several hazards, one of which is space radiation. Space radiation is composed of tiny particles from various sources that spread out in all directions throughout the solar system. These particles have a wide range of energies, and some of them are a serious concern for the safety of space crews. Radiation that passes through the shielding on spacecraft and into the human body can damage cells and may lead to the development of cancer or other negative health effects. To protect astronauts, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is trying to better understand the space radiation environment so they can minimize the effects of radiation exposure on astronauts. This article describes the kinds of space radiation and the approaches that NASA is using or studying to keep astronauts as safe as possible.
In space, astronauts are exposed to several health risks, including a low-gravity environment, stress from being in a small space for a long time, and limited access to health care. One of the greatest risks astronauts face is space radiation . Space radiation may have high enough energy to strip electrons away from the nuclei of atoms, so it can damage human tissue and lead to numerous health problems, including cancer. Space radiation comes from several sources. The Sun ejects charged particles (called ions) into space during violent eruptions known as solar particle events (SPEs). These events may be hazardous to crew members if a SPE storm shelter is not available. Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) are formed when the shock waves from galactic supernovae (events in which stars explode) send particles like protons and heavier atomic nuclei into space at very high energies, which may cause those particles to penetrate deeply into the spacecraft and human tissue. In addition to these sources of radiation, energetic protons and electrons may also become trapped in Earth’s magnetic field, in a region known as the Van Allen radiation belts. This article describes SPEs, GCRs, the Van Allen radiation belts, the potential health risks of radiation exposure, and methods that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) uses to reduce radiation risks.
Solar Particle Events
Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are examples of SPEs where particles are ejected into space from the sun . Space radiation is often described in terms of the number of particles with a specific energy passing through a specified unit of area. This is called differential particle flux. If a CME has a large flux, that means there are a large number of the particles (more radiation) passing through the area. Likewise, a small flux means a smaller number of particles (less radiation). Solar flares consist mostly of high fluxes of electrons but are usually short lived and do not cause significant health risks. In contrast, CMEs may last from a few hours to several days and consist of large plumes of plasma (hot ionized gas), mostly made up of protons. Compared to solar flares, the abundance of protons and the higher energies of CMEs can cause more damage to human tissue. Since CMEs can be predicted several hours to days before they reach a spacecraft, astronauts can protect themselves by setting up storm shelters. Solar conditions are monitored by spacecraft such as the Solar Dynamics Observatory, which can inform crew members of approaching CMEs.
You may have seen pictures of the sun on which darker areas, called sunspots, are visible. The Sun has been observed to have an 11-year solar cycle, where the solar activity transitions from a solar minimum, with few or no sunspots, to a solar maximum, with a larger number of sunspots . CMEs occur most frequently during the relatively high activity of solar maximum, when more sunspots are seen. An example of a CME is shown in Figure 1. Have you heard of the northern or southern lights, also called auroras? These bright, colorful lights observed near the Arctic and Antarctic regions are caused by CMEs, as ions stream into Earth’s magnetic field and cause molecules in Earth’s atmosphere to emit light. Large CMEs can even damage satellites.
Galactic Cosmic Rays
GCRs are produced from the remains of supernovae (Figure 2) and consist of protons, helium nuclei, and heavier ions that can move nearly at the speed of light . Supernovae are grouped into two types. Type I supernovae occur when white dwarf stars (dense stellar cores that are nearly the size of Earth) accumulate mass from a nearby star. Once the mass of a white dwarf star exceeds 1.4 times the mass of the Sun, the white dwarf explodes violently . Type II supernovae occur when massive stars use all of their nuclear fuel and explode, with light intensities that may be brighter than a galaxy for a short time.
GCRs vary with the solar cycle. During the solar maximum, the Sun’s magnetic field is more intense, so it deflects a lot of the GCRs, meaning that differential particle flux is decreased. During the solar minimum, the Sun’s magnetic field is less intense. There are fewer GCRs blocked, and this means there is larger differential particle flux when compared to solar maximum. The radiation risk is greater during solar minimum because astronauts receive more radiation exposure. Low energy GCR fluxes at solar minimum may be over 10 times greater than the fluxes at solar maximum. However, particles with very high energies are not as effectively blocked by the Sun’s magnetic field. These high-energy GCRs can penetrate spacecrafts and may be harmful to humans. Unlike SPEs, which happen only periodically, GCRs are always present, which makes them a major challenge for long space missions, such as a mission to Mars. During long spaceflights, astronauts could receive amounts of radiation greater than the career safety limit set by NASA.
Van Allen Radiation Belts
The Earth’s iron core creates a magnetic field around the planet that exerts a force on charged particles. In space, protons and electrons are charged particles that experience forces from the Earth’s magnetic field and become trapped as radiation belts around the Earth. The Van Allen radiation belts (Figure 3) consist of inner and outer belts: the inner belt mostly contains protons and electrons, and the outer belt contains mostly electrons . The flux of electrons in the outer belt is nearly 10 times greater than the electron flux in the inner belt; however, this radiation does not penetrate deeply into spacecraft materials. The protons are more energetic and pose a greater radiation risk. The International Space Station orbits Earth at an altitude that is beneath most of the trapped proton radiation, although there is a region known as the South Atlantic Anomaly, where changes in Earth’s magnetic field increase radiation exposure from protons.
Protecting Astronauts From Radiation Risks
Space radiation may lead to many health effects such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, problems with brain function, and diseases of the brain and spinal cord. NASA uses several strategies to minimize the risk of space radiation for astronauts. These include designing spacecraft shielding to reduce radiation exposure, providing storm shelters for use during SPEs, carefully planning space missions to avoid as much radiation as possible (including timing with the solar cycle), and selecting crew members that are best suited to perform NASA’s missions. Even with these precautions, astronauts are likely to exceed their career radiation limits on long missions, such as a mission to Mars. So, NASA is also investigating whether medications can be used to reduce risk from radiation exposure. Studies have shown that some well-known medications, including aspirin and medicines to treat blood clots and diabetes, can reduce the chances of getting cancer or dying from cancer. NASA has recently shown that these medicines may also reduce the risk of cancer deaths caused by space radiation exposure .
Space contains a complex mixture of radiation, consisting of particles from SPEs, GCRs, and radiation belts, all of which can be dangerous to human health. Timing missions so that they happen during the safest part of the solar cycle is very important to keep radiation exposure to a minimum. GCRs are the hardest type of radiation to protect astronauts from; therefore, missions may be planned during solar maximum to minimize GCR exposure, even though SPEs are more likely to occur then. Crew members may decrease their radiation risks from SPEs by using storm shelters made from resources onboard the spacecraft. Astronauts onboard the International Space Station or other missions during which spacecraft stay relatively close to Earth are somewhat protected from GCRs, since Earth’s magnetic field weakens the GCR flux. NASA is working to make spaceflight safer for astronauts by taking various steps to protect them from space radiation, including potential new medicines. The aim is to protect astronauts enough that long-distance missions, such as to Mars, will eventually be possible.

SonicSpike sends word of an FAA report that a small, remote-controlled aircraft was nearly struck by an American Airlines passenger jet as the jet was preparing to land. The pilot saw it briefly as he flew by — it was close enough that he was sure it stuck the plane, but no damage was found upon inspection. Jim Williams, head of the FAA's drone office, said the incident highlights the risk of ubiquitous, unregulated drone use. He said, "The risk for a small UAS to be ingested into a passenger airline engine is very real. The results could be catastrophic." The article notes that the FAA "currently bans the commercial use of drones in the United States and is under growing pressure to set rules that would permit their broader use. Hobby and many law-enforcement uses are permitted. Last year, the agency began establishing test sites where businesses can try out commercial uses."

Satellite LightSail-A, developed by the United States, together with Japan, had ceased to signal and began an uncontrolled fall to the Ground. The apparatus was located in earth orbit almost 18 years, and now, how to convince NASA that will burn in the dense layers of the atmosphere.
When all 12 parts of the satellite may fall to Earth, even in Russia. U.S.-Japanese scientific satellite that was put into space almost 18 years ago to gather information about the storms and some other data about the climate in the tropics, began an uncontrolled descent from low-earth orbit. According to NASA Recalling the conclusions of the Strategic command of the armed forces of the United States and its centre of control of outer space, just the time and place of decay of this phone is impossible to predict.
Specialists space Agency of the United States predict that the Earth's surface ready to reach 12 of the wreckage of the satellite. Most parts of North America falling debris of the satellite is not in danger as Russia, Europe and Japan, but to give a 100% guarantee Americans are not taken. Expected NASA, the main portion of the apparatus and installed 5 of scientific instruments, will burn up in the atmosphere.
NASA emphasize that for all the time of exploration of near-earth space cases falling debris on inhabitant of our planet has never been. Also, the Americans emphasize that the parts of the apparatus are not considered toxic, they are made of titanium. Note that the last time a USA owned satellite was carried out by uncontrolled deorbiting in early September 2011.
Notes TASS, the final stay in the orbit of U.S.-Japanese satellite was launched into space in early November 1997. During the work the satellites have collected multiple information that, for example, now allow to build a clearer meteorological model to better understand the structure and development of tropical cyclones, more effectively track hurricanes, to estimate the effect of man on the environment in relation to rainfall. This information also was used in the research meteorologists designed to clarify the circumstances of the birth of droughts and floods.

This July, NASA will roll out more propaganda and fanfare regarding its alleged accomplishments of safely landing astronauts on the moon between 1969-1971. There are numerous articles, television documentaries, and even a major motion picture that have been released for public consumption by the powers that be in order to reinforce the false paradigm that was brilliantly created and forced down the throats of American citizens for five decades.
If Americans, or any other humans, have visited the moon, they didn’t hitch a ride there with Apollo. Let’s explore the facts that back up that last sentence:
According to the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) “Temperatures climb sharply in the lower thermosphere (below 200 to 300 km altitude), then level off and hold fairly steady with increasing altitude above that height. Solar activity strongly influences temperature in the thermosphere. The thermosphere is typically about 200° C (360° F) hotter in the daytime than at night, and roughly 500° C (900° F) hotter when the Sun is very active than at other times. Temperatures in the upper thermosphere can range from about 500° C (932° F) to 2,000° C (3,632° F) or higher.” The NCAR and UCAR also claim, “The space shuttle and the International Space Station both orbit Earth within the thermosphere.”
Let me point out that just about any metal found in existence has a melting point below the temperatures found in the thermosphere. Lead: 327 degrees C; Magnesium 650 degrees C; Aluminum 660 degrees C; Aluminum Alloys 463-671 degrees C; Gold 1063 degrees C; Copper 1084 degrees C; Steel 1425 – 1540 degrees C; Titanium 1670 degrees C. What kind of materials did NASA make the Apollo and other space ships out of?
United States Military Strategic Positions
Let’s face facts. The United States government and its military strength have never retreated from a strategic military target it has conquered. The moon is, without a doubt, the most strategic military target in the universe to conquer when it comes to keeping an eye on our planet. If NASA and Apollo had really made it through the Van Allen Belts and thermosphere in 1969-1971, they would have continued to visit the moon. Other manned missions to deep space locations would have also been planned and carried out.
Are we supposed to believe that NASA perfected space travel through the radiation belts and thermosphere surrounding the earth in 1969 and have never duplicated the accomplishment again?
The Space Shuttle
The telltale evidence NASA never defeated the Van Allen Belts and thermosphere is written within the history of its missions. All of them have taken place in Low Earth Orbits (LEO’s). This is, ultimately, why the Space Shuttle program was planned and developed. It was designed to study and solve the radiation issues and extremely hot temperatures preventing astronauts from taking a real giant step for man and a real giant leap for mankind.
It’s become blatantly obvious to those paying close attention that the moon landing deceptions of the late 60’s and early 70’s eventually became too difficult to continue. The likely possibility that too many people would uncover the truth about the hoax increased dramatically with the passing of time which brought with it advanced computer technology that the public had easy access to. This is the same technology that has allowed for careful examination of the photographic records of Apollo. It is the same technology that has proven the photos were not taken on the moon or in the vacuum of space.
Where Are the Cameras ?
Interesting to note, none of the Apollo cameras used to capture the alleged moon photographs were brought back to earth. I believe the real reason for that fact is because analysis of said cameras would have confirmed that they would have been useless and incapable of taking photographs in the vacuum of space. It was best for NASA to pretend to leave those cameras on the moon where they were out of harm’s way or away from the eyes of researchers.
Examine the Lost Technology Closely
Take a look at any piece of technology that is 50 years old. Look at the modern versions of those technological models and you will observe marked improvements in all of them. Phones, cameras, computers, refrigerators, televisions, automobiles and others; they’ve all been improved drastically with regards to their designs and technological sophistication. Not the case with NASA’s space ships and their abilities to visit the moon and other celestial bodies.
According to NASA, they lost the Apollo space technology that was used 50 years ago and are years away from getting it back. How’s that even possible? Are we seriously supposed to believe such nonsense?
You don’t see General Electric losing the designs for the toaster oven or electric range. You don’t see General Motors losing the technology to manufacture cars. Can you imagine the Ford Motor Company announcing next month that they can no longer manufacture pickup trucks because they misplaced the plans?

This past Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration unveiled a new rulebook that allows for the use of drones for commercial purposes. The policy is designed to ensure these remote-controlled aircraft can safely share the skis with commercial and passenger planes. Drones have increasingly become a game changing technology in the construction industry by enabling an easier way to track progress and conduct site surveys.
Small Construction Companies Leading the Fleet
During the 2015 holiday season, an estimated 700,000 to 1 million drones were sold. Not all of these drone sales were to hobbyists. In fact, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) released a study that found that construction drone use makes up 40% of all FAA exemptions prior to the new regulations being released.
And if you’re thinking drones are only being used by massive construction companies, think again – a ForConstructionPros.com analysis of the AUVSI data found that nearly every construction exemption went to small construction companies with less that $1M in revenue and fewer than 10 employees.
In fact, results from a recent NAHB survey of single-family builders show that 66% are aware drones have been used on construction sites and 22% have already used a drone in their own construction business!
Cliffs Notes on FAA’s New Policy
The FAA released a 624-page rulebook on the new commercial drone policy. It includes parameters around drone weight (up to 55 pounds) and flight time (daylight hours only), and how high they can fly (400 feet in the air, or higher if within 400 feet of a taller building). Perhaps the most important detail is that the aircraft must remain within the operator’s sight, or an observer who can communicate with the operator, at all times.
So can you go get yourself and drone and start today? Not quite… drone operators have to receive certification every 2 years and be at least years old. They must also pass a background check by the TSA.
3 Ways Builders Benefit From Drones
Are you a homebuilder considering the use of drones on your sites? Here are a few time- and money saving benefits that drones may offer builders.
Surveying – eyes in the sky can help you quickly scan the job site and build out maps with surprising accuracy.
Client Experience – we all know how interested your clients are in seeing the progress. Drones can offer an inventive way of providing them with current pictures, leading to higher satisfaction and more referrals for your business!
Monitoring Multiple Sites - you often have more than one job going at a time, which requires shuttling between jobs to keep track of progress. Using a drone to provide more timely monitoring of multiple job sites could save you time, energy and money.
If you embrace the "work smarter, not harder" mentality, and are a brave early adopter of new technology, your business may skyrocket even higher than your drone!

A helicopter was dropped on Martian soil on Saturday from the Perseverance rover as NASA prepares for the Ingenuity to make its first flight on the Red Planet.
The first test of the $85million drone, which costs more than the baseline price of $80million for the F-35 fighter jet, will be to hold up on the bitterly cold Martian soil. Then it will be used in a demonstration to test powered flight on another world for the first time.
It’s expected to ‘take off a few feet from the ground, hover in the air for about 20 to 30 seconds, and land’, according to NASA.
The flight is expected to take place on April 11 and last for 90 seconds without getting higher than 10 feet off the ground, the Wall Street Journal reported.
‘#MarsHelicopter touchdown confirmed! Its 293 million mile (471 million km) journey aboard @NASAPersevere ended with the final drop of 4 inches (10 cm) from the rover’s belly to the surface of Mars today. Next milestone? Survive the night,’ the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory tweeted.
An image with the tweet shows the drone standing freely on the flight field some distance from the rover.NASA said that, despite it’s planned short time, the flight ‘will be a major milestone’ as ‘the very first powered flight in the extremely thin atmosphere of Mars.’In a statement last month, NASA compared the flight to that of the Wright Brothers.’While Ingenuity will attempt the first powered, controlled flight on another planet, the first powered, controlled flight on Earth took place Dec. 17, 1903, on the windswept dunes of Kill Devil Hill, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina,’ it reads.’Orville and Wilbur Wright covered 120 feet in 12 seconds during the first flight. The Wright brothers made four flights that day, each longer than the previous.’Håvard Grip, with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Space.com last month that if the flight goes well the drone will make additional flights with each one longer than the next, like the Wright Brothers.But first, the data from its initial flight will be sent back to Earth – not arriving until the next day, outlets reported.’Remaining flights during Ingenuity’s 31-day window will target a maximum altitude of 16.5 feet … with each flight ideally going farther than its predecessor down the designated 300-foot-long range,’ the outlet reported.NASA said that until its first flight, the little 4lbs helicopter will try to keep warm ‘autonomously through the intensely cold Martian night’ – which reaches temperatures below -130 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Czech initiative Darek pro Putina is going to launch a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for a helicopter for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Here's What We Know
We are talking about the American helicopter UH-60 Black Hawk. Fundraising for it will be launched this Friday, November 17. It is not yet known how much the helicopter will cost.
By the way, this is not the first time that the Darek pro Putina initiative has bought weapons for Ukrainian defenders. For example, last year volunteers raised $3,850,000 for Victor anti-aircraft systems based on Toyota Land Cruiser to combat Iranian Shahed-136 UAVs. In addition, the volunteers also bought for the AFU an RM-70 multiple rocket launcher and 365 rockets for $1,400,000.
The UH-60M Black Hawk is an American tactical multipurpose helicopter. It is designed to transport personnel, military cargo, as well as for the evacuation of the wounded and transporting large-sized cargo. The UH-60M Black Hawk is produced by Sikorsky Aircraft (owned by Lockheed Martin). The first version of the helicopter was released in 1974. Since then, it has received many modifications. UH-60M Black Hawk participated in many military conflicts. By the way, there is one such helicopter in service with the Ukrainian Air Intelligence.

After a long wait, the Japanese transport ministry will allow Boeing 787 Dreamliners to resume flights from April 26, 2013. The Boeing flights were grounded after several aircraft had reported problems and one of the flights had to make an emergency landing. However, airlines in Japan will not be putting these flights onto commercial routes till the month of June 2013.
The recent move has been taken after the US Federal Aviation Administration took the decision to allow the 787s to fly from Friday. It had approved the use of the modified Boeing battery system last week, despite the fact that the root cause of the problem had not been found yet.
On the other hand, Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways have already begun installing the newly modified lithium ion batteries on their aircraft. These airlines have more 787s than any other airline in the world and are planning to conduct test flights with the revamped 787s for at least a month before they begins the commercial operations.
Meanwhile, Ethiopian Airlines is expected to resume operations of their 787s on Saturday and US Airlines is looking forward to resuming its flights by late May 2013.

New Aircraft for Aviation Museum
In early December 2019, the museum was contacted by the owner of one of the last few “flyable” JetStars. They had decided to retire LAC s/n 5086 and hoped to donate it to the museum so that it could be displayed adjacent to its “birth place.” Because of security regulations at Dobbins Air Reserve Base and limited time, the aircraft was flown to McCollum Field in Kennesaw, just north of Marietta on December 30, 2019. It will be partially disassembled by museum volunteers and moved by truck the short distance to the museum in Marietta in the coming months.
The first flight for this JetStar was on July 15, 1966. It was the 86th production JetStar built, originally for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. In 1989 it was purchased by its final owner who kept it in excellent condition for the 20 years prior to its donation to the museum.
The Lockheed JetStar is considered to be the grandfather of today’s corporate jets as it was the first of this class when it first flew in the late 1950s. Following the decision to move the program to Lockheed-Georgia around 1958, 202 JetStars were built in Marietta, with many going to large corporations, celebrities, and governments around the world. Some models of the JetStar served as United States Air Force VIP transports, including service for all U.S. presidents from John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan. During the President’s flight, the JetStars would fly with the distinctive call sign of “Air Force One.”
A very special Thank You to the donor for your generosity and consideration of the historic value of this aircraft. Another very special Thank You to John, Frank, and Eric (the flight crew) for delivering this beautiful icon of aviation back home where it belongs. We look forward to many years these new friends of the museum.

The next launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery will carry Dr Koichi Wakata, a Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut, along with a space-safe version of the Olympus E-3 D-SLR and Zuiko Digital lenses.
The mission, which Olympus is calling the Olympus Space Project to celebrate its 90th birthday, will involve Wakata snapping the Earth from outer space.
The photos, taken from Japan's first manned ISS facility called the Kibo module, will then be posted on Olympus' web sites and shown at photo exhibitions.
Splash-proof in space
The E3 was chosen because Olympus' flagship model was created "to survive the toughest shooting environments", although its splash- and dust-proof magnesium alloy body is unlikely to be tested on the ISS (unless astronauts are particularly sloppy about their house-keeping).
To create a safe facility that supports extended stays, equipment heading up to the International Space Station must pass vigorous safety tests.
For example, sharp edges are not permitted and materials must omit very little volatile gas. Certification by JAXA and NASA requires all equipment to pass various inspections such as a gas-emission and pressure-reduction test.
The E-3 digital SLR and its accessories - Zuiko 11-22mm and 50-200mm lenses, two battery holders and a remote control - passed all examinations with flying colours.
The Olympus E3 and Dr Wakata will fly on mission STS-119 of the Space Shuttle, due to launch on March 12.

DENVER — A major upgrade of the 5G network was expected to take place nationwide Wednesday. Airlines have been asking for those plans to be put on hold.
AT&T and Verizon now say they will delay their rollout of some of those towers around airports.
The CEOs of 10 airlines said those towers could cause 1,000 flight disruptions a day, causing some airlines to already pre-empt travel at the airports that may be affected. The phone companies disputed those warnings.
"Airplanes use what's called a radio altimeter. It gives the pilots very precise height information above the ground,” 9NEWS Aviation Expert Gregory Feith said.
Feith said the altimeter operates in a frequency band. The concern is if that frequency band will interfere with the technology in the cockpit.
"The safety concern is bad weather or low visibility operations, and that affects not only passenger-carrying airplanes but cargo aircraft around the world,” Feith said.
If there's a 5G tower within two miles of an airport in an urban area, pilots will be forced to deviate.
"They're going to have to either go somewhere else or sit in a holding pattern until the weather improves. All of those are going to be a ripple effect with delays,” Feith said.
Denver International Airport will not be impacted when this expansion happens.
"Denver International is fortunate because they really sit out in the middle of nowhere, if you will. They don't have a lot of that urban growth built right up against the boundaries of the airports,” Feith said.
That could change in the coming years. But as many anticipate this rollout, Feith reminds passengers to be patient and remember safety is at the forefront of this industry.
"You have to look at aviation safety as the predominant factor. It's people’s lives. And you have very competent, very highly skilled pilots flying these automated aircraft. You don't want to put them or the people they’re flying in a position of jeopardy,” Feith said.
The FAA has exempted helicopters from using radio altimeters when landing. Now, these pilots have to use heightened awareness. It's causing some to change weather restrictions since pilots will no longer have that accuracy with the expansion impacting it.
The White House said the Biden administration is working on a solution between the telecom companies and the airlines. That solution could allow up to 90% of the new 5G towers to be turned on.
