Cockpit Avionics Nextgen Upgrade Pace and STC Approvals For business aircraft operators, there are a few ways to approach the upcoming NextGen mandates. In cockpit avionicsby Matt Thurber many cases, upgrading to the latest version of Fans (Fans 1/A+) makes ADS-B OUT compliance much NextGen Upgrade Pace easier. This is because ADS-B requires an accurate position source (generally equivalent to SBAS or and STC Approvals Waas GPS), and once that is installed as part of a Fans upgrade and coupled to an ADS-B-OUT- compliant transponder and required indicators, the ADS-B requirement is met. An important consideration for ADS-B compliance is that owners/operators should plan on meeting the latest RTCA standard. Some early ADS-B upgrades were to the DO-260A standard, but DO-260B is now applicable, and any DO-260A systems must be he most restrictive aircraft equipped to receive upgraded to the -B configuration.

  • 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.

  • Aircraft Tire Data
    Aircraft tire Engineering Data Introduction Michelin manufactures a wide variety of sizes and types of tires to the exacting standards of the aircraft industry. The information included in this Data Book has been put together as an engineering and technical reference to support the users of Michelin tires. The data is, to the best of our knowledge, accurate and complete at the time of publication. To be as useful a reference tool as possible, we have chosen to include data on as many industry tire sizes as possible. Particular sizes may not be currently available from Michelin. It is advised that all critical data be verified with your Michelin representative prior to making final tire selections. The data contained herein should be used in conjunction with the various standards ; T&RA1, ETRTO2, MIL-PRF- 50413, AIR 8505 - A4 or with the airframer specifications or military design drawings. For those instances where a contradiction exists between T&RA and ETRTO, the T&RA standard has been referenced. In some cases, a tire is used for both civil and military applications. In most cases they follow the same standard. Where they do not, data for both tires are listed and identified. The aircraft application information provided in the tables is based on the most current information supplied by airframe manufacturers and/or contained in published documents. It is intended for use as general reference only. Your requirements may vary depending on the actual configuration of your aircraft. Accordingly, inquiries regarding specific models of aircraft should be directed to the applicable airframe manufacturer.

The study was commissioned in 2009 by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), under contract number EASA.2008.C49 [1.]. Its aim was to investigate the adequacy of the current aircraft certification requirement in relation to current and future bird strike risks on aircraft structures and windshields. Bird strikes are random events. The intersection of bird and aircraft flight paths, the mass of the bird and the part of the aircraft struck are all random elements that will determine the outcome. In managing risk all that can be controlled are the design and testing of the aircraft driven by certification specifications, the aircraft’s flight profile and, to a limited extent, the populations of birds near airports.

  • Chapter 3 – Projections of Aviation Demand
    Chapter 3 – Projections of Aviation Demand Chapter 3 Projections of Aviation Demand This chapter contains aviation activity forecasts for the University Park Airport (Airport) over a 20-year planning horizon. Aviation demand forecasts are an important step in the master planning process. Ultimately, they form the basis for future demand-driven improvements at the Airport, provide data from which to estimate future off-airport impacts, such as noise and traffic, and are incorporated by reference into other studies and policy decisions. This chapter, which presents aviation activity forecasts through 2030, is organized as follows: 3.1 Forecasting Approach 3.2 Enplaned Passengers 3.3 Based Aircraft 3.4 Based Aircraft Fleet Mix 3.5 Total Operations 3.6 Commercial Aircraft Operations 3.7 General Aviation Operations 3.8 Military Operations 3.9 Instrument Operations 3.10 Cargo Activity 3.11 Peak Operations 3.12 Design Aircraft 3.13 Forecast Summary and FAA TAF Comparison 3.14 Revised Enplanement Forecast The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) projects future aviation activity through its Terminal Area Forecasts (TAF) which were used to compare projections prepared for this master plan. Forecasts that are developed for airport master plans and/or federal grants must be approved by the FAA. It is the FAA’s policy, listed in Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans, that FAA approval of forecasts should be consistent with the TAF. Master plan forecasts for operations, based aircraft and enplanements are considered to be consistent with the TAF if they meet the following criteria: • Forecasts differ by less than ten percent in the five-year forecast and 15 percent in the ten- or 20- year period If the forecast is not consistent with the TAF, differences must be resolved prior to using the forecast in FAA decision-making.

This technical memo evaluates the potential temporary noise impacts related to the reconstruction of Runway 3L-21R at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). The runway reconstruction is scheduled to take place during the 2019 construction season. The Future Scenario representing construction year activity was based on projected 2020 activity levels to take advantage of forecast analyses previously prepared for the Master Plan Update (MPU). As such, it is conservative since it slightly overestimates the noise and air quality impacts. This technical report documents the development of the Existing Condition (2017) and Future Scenario (2020) noise contours included in the CatEx submission. 1 Fleet Mix Forecast Fleet mixes, including aircraft types, number and hour of operations, and flight distance, are one of the major components of modeling noise in the vicinity of an airport. This section describes the available forecasts, data sources, assumptions, and methodologies applied in the fleet mix development. 1.1 Available Forecasts There are several national and local forecasts available for DTW.
