Violators are subject to fines up to $25,000 per incident. Refer to the California Health and Safety Code [HSC §25100] for more details. INTRODUCTION According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data, there were approximately 140,000 active piston-powered General Aviation (GA) aircraft in the United States with over 12.9 million hours flown in 2014. Each of those aircraft rely on aviation gas (AvGas) to fuel their engines. AvGas is a highly flammable liquid containing organic lead and is a hazardous material. During the mandatory pre-flight safety inspection, pilots sample the fuel in the aircraft and inspect the fuel for contaminants.

    Right MLG failure on landing, Douglas (Boeing) MD-83, EC-FXI Micro-summary: The right main landing gear of this Douglas (Boeing) MD-83 failed immediately on landing. Event Date: 2001-05-10 at 1232 UTC Investigative Body: Aircraft Accident Investigation Board (AAIB), United Kingdom Investigative Body's Web Site: http://www.aaib.dft.gov/uk/ Note: Reprinted by kind permission of the AAIB. Cautions: 1. Accident reports can be and sometimes are revised. Be sure to consult the investigative agency for the latest version before basing anything significant on content (e.g., thesis, research, etc). 2. Readers are advised that each report is a glimpse of events at specific points in time. While broad themes permeate the causal events leading up to crashes, and we can learn from those, the specific regulatory and technological environments can and do change. Your company's flight operations manual is the final authority as to the safe operation of your aircraft! 3. Reports may or may not represent reality. Many many non-scientific factors go into an investigation, including the magnitude of the event, the experience of the investigator, the political climate, relationship with the regulatory authority, technological and recovery capabilities, etc. It is recommended that the reader review all reports analytically. Even a "bad" report can be a very useful launching point for learning. 4. Contact us before reproducing or redistributing a report from this anthology.

    Lighting up to 7 Times Brighter Than Other LED Landing Lights!

    Lighting FAA-PMA Approved AeroLEDs Lighting Increase safety and reduce operating cost! See the Difference... Lighting Know the Difference... • Increased safety • Direct replacement • Up to 80% reduced power consumption • Long life - over 50,000 hours! • Lighter weight - no heavy power supply - save up to 3 lbs • Reduced drag • Zero maintenance • 10x more efficient than incandescent! Increased Safety AeroLED lights allow you to comply with the latest FAA recommendations (Operation Lights On) regarding extended use of taxi, landing, and anti-collision lights without fear of reduced light performance or life. They all feature optimized light color (6500k sunlight equivalent) for proven superior air-to-air recognition. The landing and taxi lights also feature an optional pulsed recognition light mode. Reduced Power Consumption High efficiency LED lights use less than 1/3 the power of halogen bulbs. They significantly reduce the load on the electrical system and they won't dim due to low voltage, typical of low RPM final approaches when you need them most! Postition lights aerodynamic design results in less drag than original equipment! Longer Life - Zero Maintenance All AeroLED products are designed to be a "lifetime buy". They last over 50,000 hours when properly installed and do not degrade with on/off cycles. They are extremely rugged and hardened against all kinds of electrical damage, shock, and vibration. Up to 7 times brighter than other LED landing lights! PAR36 Landing Light Comparison Measured Brightness at 50 Ft. Manufacturer Intensity

It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. Aviation Investigation Report Engine Failure Cessna 172M C-FFRV Montréal, Quebec 10 September 2006 Report Number A06Q0157 Summary A Cessna 172M, registration C-FFRV, serial number 17262394, with the pilot and two passengers on board, took off at 1545 eastern daylight time from Saint-Hubert Airport, Quebec, for a flight according to visual flight rules over Montréal, Quebec. About 15 minutes after take-off, when the aircraft was over the city, the engine (Lycoming O320-H2AD) lost power and stopped. The pilot tried to restart it, but without success. The pilot transmitted a distress message and quickly reported the situation to the control tower. The aircraft was approximately 1250 feet above ground level at the time. The pilot landed the aircraft on the northbound side of Parc Avenue, in Montréal. On landing, the left wing tip struck a traffic light post before the aircraft came to rest. The aircraft was substantially damaged, but there were no injuries. Ce rapport est également disponible en français. - 2 - Other Factual Information The pilot was certified and qualified for the flight in accordance with existing regulations. He had over 30 years of flying experience, including 22 years on this aircraft, and had about 5000 flying hours. The weather observation taken at 1600 eastern daylight time1 was as follows: visibility 9 statute miles, light winds and a few scattered clouds.

    Large Capacity Oblique All-Wing Transport Aircraft

    f Large Capacity Oblique All-Wing Transport Aircraft Thomas L. Galloway James A. Phillips Robert A. Kennelly, Jr. NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA Mr. Mark H. Waters Thermosciences Institute, ELORET Corp. Palo Alto, CA Transportation Beyond 2000: Engineering Design for the Future September 26-28, 1995 461 INTRODUCTION Dr. R. T. Jones first developed the theory for oblique wing aircraft in 1952, and in subsequent years numerous analytical and experimental projects conducted at NASA Ames and elsewhere have established that the Jones' oblique wing theory is correct. Until the late 1980's all proposed oblique wing configurations were wing/body aircraft with the wing mounted on a pivot. With the emerging requirement for commercial transports with very large payloads, 450 - 800 passengers, Jones proposed a supersonic oblique flying wing in 1988. For such an aircraft all payload, fuel, and systems are carded within the wing, and the wing is designed with a variable sweep to maintain a fixed subsonic normal Mach number. Engines and vertical tails are mounted on pivots supported from the primary structure of the wing. The oblique flying wing transport has come to be known as the Oblique All-Wing transport (OAW). Initial studies of the OAW were conducted by Van der Velden first at U.C. Berkeley(l) in 1989 and then at Stanford in collaboration with Kroo(2) in 1990. A final document summarizing this work is given in the thesis by Van der Velden(3). Many issues regarding the design were identified in these studies, among them the need for the OAW to be an unstable aircraft.
