WestWind Airlines Revised August Schedule Chief Pilot Speaks
Sean McConnell WWA659 Aug 2 New Hampshire pilot asked why he was told to turn on landing lights Aug 8 Michigan and strobes when crossing a runway that was not in
use? Aug 9 Michigan A The answer is straight out of the AIM Chapter 4-3-23F. At the Aug 16 Daytona discretion of the pilot-in-command, all exterior lights should be illuminated when taxiing on or across any runway. This Aug 22 Dover increases the conspicuousness of the aircraft to controllers Aug 23 Dover and other pilots approaching to land, taxiing, or crossing the runway. Pilot’s should comply with any equipment operating Aug 29 Daytona limitations and consider the effects of landing and strobe lights on other aircraft in their vicinity. This serves two functions, 1 to make your aircraft as visible as possible while on the runway and 2 it lets everyone know you received clearance to cross when at a controlled airport.

Title 14 CFR § 91.3 Responsibility and Authority of the Pilot In Command (A) The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft. (B) In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the pilot in command may deviate from any rule to the extent required to meet that emergency. (C) Each pilot in command who deviates from a rule under WWA3592 paragraph (b) of this section shall, upon the request of the
Administrator, send a written report of that deviation to the Administrator.

- The Final 747 - WWA3592
The last Boeing 747 will roll out of the Everett, Washington, plant in about two years, ending the more than five-decade production run of the legendary airplane known as The Queen of the Skies. It’s a momentous decision in the history of aviation: the airplane that made long-haul travel into a mass phenomenon is officially being terminated. There are currently 16 outstanding orders, all for the 747-8F cargo version. Boeing is producing the plane at a very slow pace, only six a year — a trickle compared for example to the 787, with 168 a year. At the current production rate, it will take 32 months to assemble the remaining Jumbo Jets on order. So, the last one will be produced in early 2023, if UPS and the Russian cargo carrier Volga Dnepr, the only remaining customers, take all their orders. WWA3592

Latest Update on IRAN/IRAQ Airspace KICZ NOTAM A0002/20 and KICZ A0036/20 - SECURITY IRAN and IRAQ Airspace Restrictions As of Mar 12, the US prohibit all flights in the airspace of Iraq and Iran but allow flights in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. Here are the details for each: On Feb 27, the US loosened its restrictions on Iraq, issuing an updated Notam and Background Notice document which advised that US operators were now permitted to overfly Iraq at FL320 or above. They said there has been a de-escalation in military activity and diminishing political tensions in the region,
but there was still a risk at the lower flight levels from armed militias who are likely responsible for multiple recent attacks on US armed forces in Iraq, as well as rocket attacks targeting the US Embassy and ORBI/Baghdad International Airport. The US downgraded its airspace warning for the overwater airspace in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman on Feb 17 – the
Page 14 of 20
The WestWind Journal August 2020 Issue 20-8 WestWind Airlines
new guidance now just advises caution in this region and recommends avoiding the airways nearest to the OIIX/Tehran FIR whenever possible, to reduce the risk of miscalculation or misidentification by air defense systems. The crucial change with this new warning is that overflights in this region are now permitted. So, for US operators wanting to transit the OKAC/Kuwait, OBBB/Bahrain, OMAE/Emirates and OOMM/Muscat FIRs – you can now do so. Traffic flows It’s worth considering that most airlines other than Middle WWA3592
Eastern carriers are still avoiding Iran and Iraq entirely, despite the recent downgrading of airspace warnings. Traffic that normally operates through the Tehran and Baghdad FIR’s now needs another route. Based on member reports to OPSGROUP, the predominant choice for east-west flights into the Dubai area is a southerly routing via Saudi Arabia and Egypt. There are warnings for both of these airspaces as well. Northerly reroutes for Europe-Asia flights are predominantly using a Turkey-Armenia-Azerbaijan-Turkmenistan routing. If entering Afghanistan airspace, note the current warnings there too.

Schiphol, pronounced [lʏxtɦaːvə(n) ˈsxɪp(ɦ)ɔl]), is the main international airport of the Netherlands. It is located 5.6 miles southwest of Amsterdam, in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer in the province of North Holland. With almost 72 million passengers in 2019, it is the third-busiest (KJFK) (EHAM) airport in Europe in terms of passenger volume and the busiest New York to Amsterdam in Europe in terms of aircraft movements.

Schiphol opened on 16 September 1916 as a military airbase. The end of the First World War also saw the beginning of civilian use of Schiphol Airport and the airport eventually lost its military role completely. By 1940, Schiphol had four asphalt runways at 45-degree angles. The airport was captured by the German military that same year and renamed Fliegerhorst Page 17 of 20

Flight Simulator has only talked Windows 10 PCs, but with Microsoft recently committing to bring its future titles to Steam, it appears the title could also ship outside the integrated Windows Store. The project also targets Xbox One consoles, likely extending to the next-generation Xbox Series X.
