  • Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
    Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts The overall goal of aviation activity forecasting is to prepare forecasts that accurately reflect current conditions, relevant historic trends, and provide reasonable projections of future activity, which can be translated into specific airport facility needs anticipated during the next twenty years and beyond. Introduction This chapter provides updated forecasts of aviation activity for Kittitas County Airport – Bowers Field (ELN) for the twenty-year master plan horizon (2015-2035). The most recent FAA-approved aviation activity forecasts for Bowers Field were prepared in 2011 for the Airfield Needs Assessment project. Those forecasts evaluated changes in local conditions and activity that occurred since the previous master plan forecasts were prepared in 2000, and re-established base line conditions. The Needs Assessment forecasts provide the “accepted” airport-specific projections that are most relevant for comparison with the new master plan forecasts prepared for this chapter. The forecasts presented in this chapter are consistent with Bowers Field’s current and historic role as a community/regional general aviation airport. Bowers Field is the only airport in Kittitas County capable of accommodating a full range of general aviation activity, including business class turboprops and business jets. This level of capability expands the airport’s role to serve the entire county and the local Ellensburg community. The intent is to provide an updated set of aviation demand projections for Bowers Field that will permit airport management to make the decisions necessary to maintain a viable, efficient, and cost-effective facility that meets the area’s air transportation needs.

  • Meilensteine 1920 Bis 2020 Ein Häfeli DH.3 Landet Am 22
    Foto ETH Bildarchiv Auf dieser Luftaufnahme vom 3. April 1939 ist die ovale, rund 400 Meter lange Pistenanlage des damaligen Genfer Flughafens gut ersichtlich. Die 100-jährige Geschichte des Aérport de Genéve-Cointrin Meilensteine 1920 bis 2020 Ein Häfeli DH.3 landet am 22. September 1920 als erstes Flugzeug auf dem «Champs d’Aviation» in Genève. In den folgenden Jahren wird die Infrastruktur laufend ver- bessert, die Piste verlängert. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ist Genf der Langstre- cken-Airport für die Swissair. 1961 verfügt Cointrin mit 3900 Metern erneut über die längste Schweizer Piste, doch 1996 zieht Swissair ihre Langstreckenflüge ab. 1999 etabliert sich EasyJet. Das sind nur einige Meilensteine: Zusammengestellt von Daniel Ruhier Jahr Datum Ereignis 1920 19. Juni In Änderung des Gesetzes vom 11. Oktober 1919 beschliesst der Grosse Rat einen Kredit von 675‘000 Franken für den Landerwerb zur Schaffung eines Flugfeldes auf dem Gemeindegebiet von Meyrin in Cointrin. 22. September Das Eidgenössische Luftamt bewilligt den Betrieb eines Zollflugplatzes 1. Klasse in Cointrin. Tags darauf macht Edgar Primault mit einem Doppeldecker Häfeli DH.3 die Erstlandung auf dem neuen Flugfeld. 15. November Anlässlich der Eröffnungssitzung des Völkerbunds überfliegt ein Geschwader von fünf Doppeldeckern Häfeli DH-3 sowie je ein Fokker D.7, Nieuport Bébé und Morane MoS.30 den Palais des Nations; sie landen anschliessend in Cointrin. 1922 21. Mai Zur Einweihung der ersten zwei Hangars und des Administrationsgebäudes mit Werkstatt und Bar landen drei Staffeln der Fliegerabteilung mit 18 Flugzeugen in Genf (Häfeli DH-3, Hanriot HD-1 und Zepp LZ C-II).

  • Gulfstream's History
    BACKGROUNDER The Gulfstream Fleet Gulfstream’s comprehensive product line offers an exceptional combination of safety, comfort, performance and value in each segment of the mid- to ultra-large-cabin business-jet market. The Gulfstream G650 and G650ER have the largest purpose-built business-jet cabins, offering passengers wider seats, more aisle room, 16 panoramic windows and the lowest cabin altitude of any business jet. The cabins also feature the quietest cabin sound levels, 100 percent fresh air and in-flight connectivity. Both aircraft can accommodate passengers and crew in conference, dining and entertainment areas with sleeping for up to 10. The G650ER, the company’s flagship, is the world’s longest-range business jet and provides outstanding mission flexibility. On one of its earliest flights, the aircraft flew nonstop from Los Angeles International Airport to Tullamarine Airport in Melbourne, Australia, in just under 15 hours at an average speed of Mach 0.86. The G650 and the G650ER combined hold more than 60 city-pair records and can both traverse the world in practically one stop. Current G650 owners and order-holders can upgrade their aircraft to a G650ER. Powered by Rolls-Royce engines, the G650 and G650ER travel at speeds up to Mach 0.925, more than nine-tenths the speed of sound, and can fly far above airline-traffic congestion and adverse weather, resulting in smoother flights and fewer delays. The aircraft feature the most technologically advanced PlaneViewTM II flight deck with intuitive systems that ease pilots’ workload and enhance safety. In 2015, the G650 was awarded the 2014 Robert J.

  • No Surprises Here
    REPORT 2009 BUSINESS AIRCRAFT FLEET US were having a fire sale trying to NO SURPRISES HERE quickly get rid of their business air- craft in order to avoid government and public scrutiny, countries like Brazil were turning to Business Aviation as a business solution. The result – well, we think the numbers speak for them- selves. So yes, 2009 was a slow year for Business Aviation – as expected. The World Fleet continued to grow, although at a much slower rate than past years (the world fleet grew by seven percent last year, in comparison to this year’s 4.8 percent). And yes, Europe may have been a surprise as it navigated the crisis fairly well, but only saw a 9.7 percent increase in its fleet, which although strong is almost half the size of last year’s world-lead- ing 18 percent. But the slowdowns in Europe and the US are made up for by the 15.3, 27.1 and 13.3 percent growth rates in Africa, Asia/Middle East and South America respectively. FLEET TOTALS Ok, so we changed our minds about (As of End 2009) 2009. Business Aviation is not slowing World Fleet 29,992 down. Business Aviation is simply European Fleet 3,959 changing, shifting and going where Jet Aircraft Worldwide 17,118 business goes – building new Turboprops Worldwide 12,499 economies and ensuring that business gets done.
