    Last updated 10 March 2021 BEECH 18 PRODUCTION LIST Compiled by Geoff Goodall PART 2: BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas between 1945 and 1957) Beech D18S VH-FIE (A-808) flown by owner Rod Lovell at Mangalore, Victoria in April 1984. Photo by Geoff Goodall The D18S was the first new commercial Beechcraft model at the end of World War II. It began a production run of 1,800 Beech 18 variants for the post-war market (D18S, D18C, E18S, G18S, H18), all built by Beech Aircraft Company at their Wichita Kansas plant. The “S” suffix indicated it was powered by the reliable 450hp P&W Wasp Junior series. The first D18S c/n A-1 was first flown in October 1945 at Beech field, Wichita. On 5 December 1945 the D18S received CAA Approved Type Certificate No.757, the first to be issued to any post-war aircraft. The first delivery of a new model D18S to a customer departed Wichita the following day. From 1947 the D18C model was available as an executive version with more powerful 525hp Continental R-9A radials, also offered as the D18C-T passenger transport approved by CAA for feeder airlines. Beech assigned c/n prefix "A-" to D18S production, and "AA-" to the small number of D18Cs. Total production of the D18S, D18C and Canadian Expediter Mk.3 models was 1,035 aircraft.

  • Flying Together: the Southern Ontario Airport Network May 2017
    Flying Together: The Southern Ontario Airport Network May 2017 FLYING TOGETHER: THE SOUTHERN ONTARIO AIRPORT NETWORK 1 1 INTRODUCTION Southern Ontario is set to experience significant growth over the next three decades and is one of the fastest growing regions in North America. Not surprisingly, demand for air travel across the region will follow suit, rising to approximately 110 million passengers over the same timeframe. This growth presents significant opportunities for the region, local communities and their airports. As growth comes to Southern Ontario it is critical that we are ready for it. By working together, our region’s airports will be better placed to support local economic development, and in doing so increase the competitiveness of the region, the province and the country. Successful cities and regions around the world have reaped the benefits of a network approach to supporting air service needs, and by better using the available airport infrastructure in Southern Ontario, our region can benefit as well. This approach will ensure that Southern Ontario is well placed to keep the jobs and economic benefits of growth in air service demand in the region. 2 FLYING TOGETHER: THE SOUTHERN ONTARIO AIRPORT NETWORK 2 UNPRECEDENTED AIR TRAVEL DEMAND IS COMING TO SOUTHERN ONTARIO As the most densely populated and economically productive region in Canada, Southern Ontario is an engine of the Canadian economy. The region is Canada’s export powerhouse, accounting for 37 per cent of the Canadian economy overall, 39 per cent of the goods exports and 48 per cent of the services exports. 88 per cent of Southern Ontario’s The region is also home to several Fortune population lives in the metropolitan areas 500 companies, 28 universities and colleges, of the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, and an innovation corridor that features the second-largest concentration of tech Kingston, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, companies in North America.

  • Response to the KPMG Study: Pickering Lands Aviation Sector Analysis
    Response to the KPMG Study: Pickering Lands Aviation Sector Analysis Land Over Landings April 18, 2020 (rev. April 26, 2020) © Land Over Landings, 2020 1 Contents Overview and General Observations / 3 Extracts and Detailed Comments on the Reports / 5 The Supply and Demand Report / 6 The Contextual Bridge Report / 27 The Airport Type and Role Report / 28 The Revenue Generation and Economic Impact Assessment Report / 47 End Note / 49 2 Overview and General Observations In 2016, Transport Canada tasked KPMG to forecast capacity and demand in the southern Ontario airport system for the 20-year period 2016 to 2036. Following completion of the supply and demand study, KPMG conducted an additional three studies, which took so long to produce that some details of the December 2016 forecast report are now significantly out of date, and the later, newer sections diverge from the first report in tone, intent, and perspective. Because of the disjointed structure (four separate reports purporting to be one) and the extended timeline, a lot of material is repeated – and even contradicted – in subsequent reports. Regardless, the essential conclusion is clear, and is expressed frequently and unequivocally in the Supply and Demand Report (December 2016) – in fact, it is repeated no fewer than eighteen times, not counting five times in the executive summary. No additional airport in southern Ontario will be needed to meet 2036 demand. The report shows that, with modest capacity expansions of some existing airports, southern Ontario airport capacity will not only meet forecasted demand but will exceed it by a huge margin. The report further states that adequate runway and terminal building capacity exists within the system as a whole, with the introduction of high-speed rail services in the region.

Origin On February 22, 2018, CES Committee received presentation; CES-2-2018-DEL-C entitled “Orgne Overview” from Rob Giguere, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO of Ornge. In his presentation, Mr. Giguere made reference to the coverage of helipad locations available for Ornge Helicopter use and that Orgne can provide expert guidance in the development of new helipads. The following report provides some explanation and illustrations of landing facilities identifying the level of coverage available and support for the potential consideration of additional coverage with future growth requirements. Analysis In his presentation, Mr. Giguere made reference to the supply of “12 aerodromes within 60 nautical miles of Muskoka” and to the availability of “20 helipads.” Following the presentation, a list of ‘usable’ and ‘not usable’ sites was clarified with Ornge, and the attached two maps and a list were prepared showing landing sites within 60 nautical miles of Muskoka and within The District Municipality of Muskoka (District), see Appendices “I”, “II” and “III”. Interestingly, there are seven (7) Transport Canada registered aerodromes and one (1) Transport Canada registered helipad within the District that Ornge does not normally use because they are privately owned and operated, and seasonal in nature.

About Skycraft VAC: | CALLSIGN: Skycraft | ICAO: SKG | IATA: SF | Skycraft is a corporate charter and regional airline service based out of Oshawa Executive CYOO that also offers medevac and cargo contracts. With the spike of COVID-19, it has become incredibly harder to travel with the airlines in all the cut in services. We let you charter our aircraft from any airport in Ontario to wherever your personal or business needs require. Skycraft Virtual Air Charter officially started operations on January 7th, 2021. Nearly 27 years after Skycraft Air in real life ceased operations in 1994. www.skycraftva.com History of the real life Skycraft Air Transport: Skycraft Air Transport Inc. was a Canadian airline based at Oshawa Municipal Airport. Skycraft Air Transport was created as a charter airline targeting the express air freight needs of the North American automotive industry. It was based in Oshawa, Ontario, where its biggest customer, General Motors Canada, operated two large car assembly plants. Its principal competitive advantages were its diverse fleet, with different aircraft that could economically carry different sized loads, and its ability to dispatch aircraft to virtually any North American destination within one hour of a customer request. By the late 1980s the airline was operating a flying school and had diversified into the air ambulance, passenger charter and scheduled service markets. Its scheduled services included flights from Oshawa Municipal Airport to Ottawa; Montreal; Windsor, Ontario; and Detroit.

  • Air Transportation Safety Investigation Report A18O0153
    Air Transportation Safety Investigation Report A18O0153 COLLISION WITH TERRAIN Piper PA-28R-200, C-GDUM Brantford Airport, Ontario 13 November 2018 History of the flight At approximately 00271 on 13 November 2018, the privately owned Piper PA-28R-200 aircraft (registration C-GDUM, serial number 28R7535272) departed from Burlington Executive Airport (CZBA), Ontario, with 2 people on board. The intended destination could not be determined, because neither a flight plan nor an itinerary were filed for the flight. Several minutes2 before departure, a succession of 5 keyed microphone clicks were recorded on the aerodrome traffic frequency at CZBA. This sequence of clicks is used by pilots to turn on the ARCAL (aircraft radio control of aerodrome lighting), which includes runway lighting. Although these clicks were recorded, no verbal transmissions normally associated with departing or arriving aircraft traffic were recorded. Shortly after departure, at 0028, the aircraft began to be recorded on radar climbing west of CZBA toward the Brantford Airport (CYFD), Ontario, located 28 nautical miles (nm) to the southwest.3 At 0043, when the aircraft was approximately 4 nm east of CYFD at 1600 feet,4 a series of clicks was 1 All times are Eastern Standard Time (Coordinated Universal Time minus 5 hours). 2 The exact time of the microphone clicks is uncertain, because the audio recording was compressed. 3 CYFD has a UNICOM radio frequency with limited hours of operation. It was not staffed at the time of the occurrence. 4 In this report, all altitudes are above sea level, unless otherwise noted. 2 | TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD OF CANADA recorded on the CYFD aerodrome traffic frequency.
