Many thanks for the additional images sent in since my plea for more coverage from around the world in the last Editorial. This has been very pleasing and I trust it will continue as we get into the Air Show season in the Northern Hemisphere! There is an extra page of illustrations in the paper version of MAR this month as well as extra pages in the PDF version. While on the subject of Air Displays, photo coverage would be much appreciated of the more interesting or colourful participants and reports of the actual aircraft taking part would also be very welcome. Please try and report the following details in your show reports - LOCATION (ie static/flightlines/hangar/flying only/etc), SERIAL/CODE/TYPE/UNIT (as much detail as possible on these vital areas), MARKINGS/SCHEME (details of any special schemes or markings carried). Please send in your reports (even if they do not meet all the requirements listed) as they can be added to other reports to make the overall picture as accurate as possible. Finally, do please send in your report and do not assume that someone else will - if everyone assumed that we would end up with no report! COVER PHOTOGRAPH: Fond farewell! One of the two Tristars of 216 Sqn that flew the final operational sortie on March 24th - KC.1 ZD950 over ARA8 (Mark Young) Closing date for the May issue is 08.05.14 Brian Pickering 15.04.14 162 BRITISH REVIEW On 28th March 2014 an official disbandment parade took place at Lossiemouth, this was for 12 Sqn and 617 Sqn who officially dis- band on 01st April 2014. Sadly the poor weather on the day prevented a flypast by the BoBMF Lancaster. 617 Sqn will reform during 2018 when the Squadron moves to Marham to fly the Lightning II. For the record 12 Sqn reformed on 1st October 1993 and operated the Tornado aircraft for 21years both at Marham and Lossiemouth. 617 Sqn reformed on 1st January 1983 and operated the Tornado aircraft for 31years, again at Marham and Lossiemouth. In the beginning of the summer 2014 there will be a phased relocation of the two Typhoon Squadrons from Leuchars. One other Squadron will arrive at Lossiemouth, that being 2 Sqn from Marham who will convert onto the Typhoon. 15(R) Sqn will remain at Lossiemouth to fly the Tornado GR.4’s until 2018. Another disbandment parade took place at Brize Norton on 21st March 2014 when 216 Sqn disbanded, this being the end of the Tristar transport aircraft operations after more than 30 years service. Finally, the Official closing date for RAF Church Fenton was 31st March 2014 and the base is now up for sale......Mick Boulanger (Military movements is history, now and for our future) RAF BARKSTON HEATH - Military visitors noted during March: - 21 XZ731/643 Lynx HMA.8SRU 702NAS Military visitors noted during April: - 08 XZ642 Lynx AH.7 667 Sqn RAF BENSON - Residents noted during March: 28/78 Sqn Merlin HC.3/3A ZJ118/B ZJ120/D ZJ123/G ZJ128/M ZJ130/O ZJ133/R ZJ134/S ZJ135/T ZJ136/U ZJ137/W ZJ995/AD 33/230 Sqn Puma HC.2 XW229 XW231 ZA936 ZJ954 ZJ955 ZJ957 P2MF Puma HC.2 (Note P2MF stands for Puma 2 Maintenance Flight) XW204 XW214 XW216 XW235 XW237 ZA935 ZA939 Oxford UAS Tutors G-BYUJ G-BYVB G-BYVK G-BYVL G-BYWU G-BYXA G-BYXL Withdrawn/Stored Puma aircraft XW198 XW210 XW222 XW223 XW226 XW236 ZA937 Residents notes during February 28/78 Sqn Merlin HC.3/3A ZJ130/O has departed 28/78 Sqn Benson on 03.03 to MDMF Culdrose on 03.04 ZJ131/P has returned from overhaul at MDMF Culdrose and is now back with 28/78 Sqn Benson on 03.04 ZJ134/S has returned from overhaul at MDMF Culdrose and is now back with 28/78 Sqn Benson on 24.03 ZJ998/AE has returned from overhaul at MDMF Culdrose and is now back with 28/78 Sqn Benson on 27.03 P2MF Puma HC.2 XW204 has transferred from 33/230 Sqn Benson to P2MF Benson for maintenance BIGGIN HILL - Military visitors noted during January: - 09 ZJ120/D Merlin HC.3 28/78 Sqn * 20 ZD480/J Sea King HC.4 845NAS * 021 C-295M Polish AF 13.

  • Runway Analysis

    Runway Analysis

    CHAPTER 5 RUNWAY ANALYSIS 5 5 RUNWAY ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION The primary issue to be addressed in the William R. Fairchild International Airport (CLM) Master Plan involves the ultimate length and configuration of the runway system. At present there are two runways; primary Runway 8/26 and crosswind Runway 13/31. Runway 8/26 is 6,347 feet long and 150-feet wide with a displaced threshold of 1,354 feet on the approach end to Runway 26. The threshold was displaced to provide for an unobstructed visual approach slope of 20:1. Runway 13/31 is designated as the crosswind runway and is 3,250-feet long by 50-feet wide. In the 1997 ALP Update, the FAA determined that this runway was not required to provide adequate wind coverage and would not be eligible for FAA funding of any improvements in the future. The Port of Port Angeles has committed to keeping this runway functional without FAA support for as long as it is feasible. Subsequent sections of this analysis will reexamine the need for the runway. Both runways are supported by parallel taxiway systems with Taxiway A serving Runway 8/26 and Taxiway J for Runway 13/31. Taxiway A is 40 feet wide and Taxiway J is 50 feet wide. AIRFIELD REQUIREMENTS In determining airfield requirements, FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5300-13, Airport Design (Change 14), has been consulted. This circular requires that future classification of the airport be defined as the basis for airfield planning criteria. As shown in the forecast chapter, the critical aircraft at CLM is expected to be the small business jet represented by the Cessna Citation within 5-years.

They also have an ambassadorial role, promoting an air force and country overseas. Many covered in this supplement display overseas each year and, in some cases, frequently undertake international tours. Teams are also used to promote a country’s aerospace industry, playing informal roles in sales campaigns.

    UNITED KINGDOM DEFENCE STATISTICS 2010 th Published: 29 September 2010 DASA (WDS) Tel: 020-7807-8792 Ministry of Defence Fax: 020-7218-0969 Floor 3 Zone K Mil: 9621 78792 Main Building, Whitehall E-mail: [email protected] London SW1A 2HB Web site: http://www.dasa.mod.uk INTRODUCTION Welcome to the 2010 edition of UK Defence Statistics, the annual statistical compendium published by the Ministry of Defence. Changes to UK Defence Statistics (UKDS) this year include a new section on Defence Inflation and an expanded International Defence section in Chapter 1, the restructuring of the Armed Forces Personnel section in Chapter 2, and a new section on Amputations in Chapter 3. UK Defence Statistics (UKDS) is a National Statistics publication, produced according to the standards of the Official Statistics Code of Practice. However some of the tables in UKDS do not have National Statistics status – some are produced by areas outside of the scope of the Government Statistical Service; some do not yet meet all the quality standards of the Official Statistics Code of Practice; and others have not gone through the required assessment process to be classed as National Statistics. All such tables are clearly marked with explanatory notes. This year UKDS is once again being issued as a web document only, due to financial constraints within the Ministry of Defence. Each table and chapter is available in pdf format which is suitable for printing. There is also a pdf version of the entire publication, and of the UKDS factsheet. We have ceased publication of the UKDS pocket cards this year, since they are of limited value in electronic format.

The RTAA is an independent entity that is not part of any other unit of local government and does not use local property or sales tax revenue to fund its operation. The Authority is governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees, operates as a business, and receives no local tax dollars. The Reno-Tahoe International Airport is a very important asset to the region, with the 4.4 million passengers going through the airport in 2019 (66th busiest in the United States), bringing $3.2 billion in economic impact to the region. The Authority employs approximately 280 direct airport staff and over 2,400 other staff work on airport premises for various tenants and other companies. RNO is located just five minutes from downtown Reno, therefore, it is literally and figuratively at the heart of the community and only 40 minutes from some of the finest ski resorts and outdoor recreation in the world. The airport makes the all-important first and last impression on passengers coming and going from the region. The Airport truly plays a vital role for the hotel casinos, ski resorts, golf courses, the University of Nevada, and a growing restaurant scene and high-tech business district.
