  • 1 PE1804/P Petitioner Submission of 30 October 2020 In
    PE1804/P Petitioner submission of 30 October 2020 In communications with HIAL managers the Benbecula Community Council (BCC) and Far North Aviation based at Wick Airport have found out that the HIAL Board have made their decision to downgrade the air traffic service provision at Benbecula and Wick airports without any supporting operational safety assessments or formal operational Safety Cases. Regardless that the Safety Cases have not yet been written, HIAL are now pressing on with implementing their decision, which have flight safety and flight regularity implications. Both Communities (Benbecula & Wick) have stakeholders, retired pilots/air traffic controllers who have the technical understanding to either comment on or review these Safety Cases when they written. Will HIAL permit any stakeholder involvement, the BCC suspect not. One of HIALs Managers has recently advised a stakeholder at Wick ‘the Flight Information Service unit would still allow most normal operations to take place'. This is a very glib statement for HIAL to make, considering that the operational Safety Cases have not been written. Using HIAL Islay airport as an example where Flight Information Service is the level of air traffic service provided, the following information is officially published under type of traffic permitted at the airport. (Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) /Visual Flight Rules (VFR)) The Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) states VFR. Additionally, under Flight Procedures in the same document there is a warning: - Use of RNP (effectively IFR) procedures at this Aerodrome restricted to Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd - Approved Operators only. This raises the question how do IFR customers gain access to Benbecula and Wick if the airports are downgraded to the likes of Islay, and what is the HIAL the criteria required to become an HIAL 'Approved Operator'.

  • SWS Significant Projects
    SWS Significant Projects Ronnie: Comment. 1. My checker showed spelling and spacing issues. At start I corrected some then changed to showing them as [? Gap etc] or my understanding of the correct spelling [eg Jencks not Jenks]. It might be easier to download this copy to accept or reject changes. 2. Some Irish Job names showed as errors. My system should have all the correct names from other work I have done. Check or leave it until I get back from holiday. 3. I am happy with your choice of ‘significance’. 4. I have added names of key staff [where I know them] and highlighted where I think we should try to add names or at least indicate that there were others who should be acknowledged. Regards, Jim. 14 July 2014. This table attempts to record significant projects carried out by Scott Wilson in the operational areas which became the responsibility of Scott Wilson Scotland (comprising Scotland, North of England, Northern Ireland and Ireland). Prior to the formation of SWS, projects were carried out by the UK Partnership. There is no simple definition of a significant Project. Whilst large projects can easily fall into this category, I have also included projects which added to the geographic and technical expansion of the firm. I have also included projects which created a stream of commissions. In part, the data in itself provides a detailed history of the development of SWS over the years. The data has been taken from job number lists which were obtained from archive catalogues. This data appears very comprehensive from 1971 to 2001.

At its meeting on 14 December 2010 the Partnership agreed to allocate £50,000 as a contribution to maintaining air services between Dundee and London (Report RTP/10/42 refers). At its meeting on 11 September 2012 the Partnership endorsed the allocation of £5,000 as a contribution towards a marketing campaign aimed at promoting Dundee Airport and improving the viability of air services and connections that operate from the airport (Report RTP/12/22 refers).

While established in the cruise at an altitude of 6,500 ft it entered a gentle right turn, the rate of which gradually increased with an associated high rate of descent and increase in airspeed. The aircraft struck the western slope of a mountain, Beinn nan Lus, in a steep nose-down attitude. Both persons on board were fatally injured. No specific cause for the accident could be identified but having at some point entered IMC, the extreme aircraft attitudes suggest that the pilot was experiencing some form of spatial disorientation and the recorded data and impact parameters suggest that the accident followed a loss of control, possibly in cloud. History of the flight The pilot had arranged to fly to Tiree with his wife for a family visit, departing on Saturday, 4 April, the day of the accident, and returning on Monday evening.

    Y Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus / Public Accounts Committee PAC(5)-08-20 P2 BRIEFING PAPER A REVIEW OF CARDIFF AIRPORT’S PERFORMANCE AND PROSPECTS IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT UK REGIONAL AIRPORT ECONOMICS Prepared by February 2020 Contents 1 Introduction 2 Historical Perspectives 3 Recent Achievements 4 Benchmarking Financial Performance 5 Future Plans, Ambitions and Ownership 6 Conclusions Executive Summary I This paper was commissioned by Cardiff International Airport Ltd (CIAL) from Northpoint Aviation, in order to provide independent expert evidence with which to: Apprise CIAL’s Board and the Airport’s shareholder about a number of matters relating to the Airport that have arisen in the public domain; address the ongoing close scrutiny of its performance (and its public ownership by the Welsh Government), by Welsh Assembly committees and members, and respond to the significant interest shown by other strategic stakeholders, including local MPs, the media and Welsh taxpayers. II It will also help to inform CIAL’s representations to the impending UK Government Regional Aviation Review and ongoing discussions between the Welsh Government and the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales, HM Treasury and DfT about the devolution of APD to Wales, route development from Cardiff and other initiatives which may contribute to maximising the connectivity and economic value of the Airport to Wales. Introduction III The paper provides an overview of Cardiff Airport’s recent performance under CIAL and compares it with that under its previous owners Abertis Infraestructuras, S.A; it also benchmarks Cardiff relative to peer airports elsewhere in the UK over the last 10-15 years with a view to: Measuring Cardiff’s outputs against both the best and worst in class; explaining the factors in Wales that impact significantly upon that analysis (e.g.

  • Scoping Study Into Potential Development Opportunities for Dundee Airport
    SCOPING STUDY INTO POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR DUNDEE AIRPORT SCOPING STUDY INTO POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR DUNDEE AIRPORT Northpoint Aviation Services Ltd in collaboration with RPS Consulting and Reference Economic Consultants Transport Scotland 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Scope of the Study i. The focus of this study has been to evaluate the commercial outlook for Dundee Airport and identify, in the context of a range of short-medium term strategic approaches (or scenarios), potential problems and development opportunities that may undermine, or conversely help to improve its prospects. Based on this analysis, we have then sought to provide a set of overarching (as opposed to design or business case specific) conclusions and recommendations that Transport Scotland, in conjunction with other strategic partners (e.g. HIAL, Dundee City Council and TACTRANS), with an interest in ensuring the airport has a sustainable future, can take forward and implement. ii. The original study brief from Transport Scotland, specifically included the flowing four core elements in the scope of work: • A review of current operations/infrastructure. • A detailed stakeholder consultation/engagement exercise. • Consideration of other regional airport initiatives/models. • Identification of development opportunities, scoping options for their delivery and then their appraisal using the STAG Stage 1 methodology. iii. This Final Report draws together the work that has been undertaken to examine each of these areas while also having regard to the imprimatur in Transport Scotland’s study brief, namely: “to provide a clear explanation of the underlying analysis and approach, including the assumptions behind the work and its limitations”; while noting that, “….. the intention of the study is not necessarily to come to one single conclusion or recommendation.
