It’s also not unusual for the wind chill to drop temperatures as cold as minus 65 degrees during this month, which is one of the busiest for air ambulance provider Keewatin Air LP. It’s typically a busy start to the year for the Winnipeg-based company that will register 10,000 annual flight hours serving residents and travelers in the province of Manitoba and the Canadian Arctic territory of Nunavut – an area comprising 1,058,000 square miles, nearly four times the area of Texas. KING AIR MAGAZINE • 3 Keewatin Air operates a fleet of 12 air ambulance air- craft, including nine Beech- craft King Air B200 models, at seven stations throughout the region. Supporting the operations is a group of well- trained professionals. The company has 45 pilots and 45 aircraft maintenance design- ers strategically positioned throughout their northern bases of operations. Unlike many other air ambulance operators, they employ their own medical professionals and currently have about 65 registered flight nurses, re- spiratory therapists, critical and advanced care paramed- ics and psychiatric nurses. “You have to wonder if when Beechcraft engineers were designing the King Air Keewatin Air’s President/Accountable Executive Wayne McLeod back in the day, did they think someone was really (left) and Person Responsible for Maintenance (PRM) Jason going to fly their aircraft into minus 65 degrees Kendall stand beside one of the company’s King Air B200s.

  • Wichita's Wee Wooden Wonders
    Wichita's Wee Wooden Wonders http://www.wingsoverkansas.com/history/article.asp?id=895 How Culver & Mooney Became Wichita Airplanes Copyright 2003, 2008 by Richard Harris Originally published in InFlightUSA, 2003 Revised for WingsOverKansas.com, 2008 This is the first in our series "Wichita's Wee Wooden Wonders", about the Wichita roots of Culver and Mooney Aircraft Companies, tracing the career of their creator, Al Mooney. Kansas's most famous general aviation plane-makers of today are Cessna, Beech (now Hawker-Beechcraft) and Learjet (now a division of Bombardier). But there is another legendary general aviation airplane manufacturer -- still very much alive today -- that started in Wichita, as well: Mooney Aircraft. In fact, the Mooney company started in Wichita twice -- and, in between, its namesake founder brought another remarkable planemaker to Wichita: Culver, who would quietly build a thousand tiny military planes in secret, and over a hundred civilian planes as well. And all the Wichita Culvers and Mooneys -- extraordinary performers Albert W. Mooney for their size and power, and powerful trend-setters -- would be made of (image courtesy of wood. This is the story of the pioneering genius behind them, and how MooneyMite.com) his remarkable craft came to be "Wichita's Wee Wooden Wonders." And along the way, many other Kansas aviation names come into play, in shaping a legendary career. As a boy, young Al Mooney, on his own, studied aircraft engineering by burrowing into the books of the Denver Public Library. Raised by a Rocky Mountain railroad bridge-builder, and having spent time building such things with his own hands, big, husky Al had an ingrained fascination with engineering -- and airplanes were the most fascinating engineering puzzle of the times.

  • Arctic Airports and Aerodromes As Critical Infrastructure
    October 30, 2020 Arctic Airports and Aerodromes as Critical Infrastructure Christina Bouchard, Graduate Fellow and Program Manager: Critical Infrastructure in Canada’s Arctic Territories Key Considerations Many Arctic communities were formed as coastal settlements and continue to rely heavily on air or naval transportation modes. Notably, the territory of Nunavut (NU) includes island communities where air infrastructure plays a critical role in community resupply in the absence of a highway system. It is anticipated that the rapid advancement of climate change will result in permafrost melt, sea ice melt and changing weather patterns. The ground upon which runways, buildings and other infrastructure are constructed will shift and move as the permafrost melts. Capital planning studies have also identified shortfalls with runway lighting systems and power supply, critical for safety where visibility is challenging. Both the extended periods of darkness in the North and the increasing prevalence of severe wind and weather events heighten the need for modern lighting systems. In addition to climate change considerations, the 2020 emergence of the novel COVID-19 virus has also drawn attention to the essential nature of airports in Nunavut for medical flights1. Private companies providing air services, have experienced pressures following the emergence of the virus. The pandemic circumstances of COVID-19 exposed, and brought to question, underlying systemic assumptions about the profitability of providing medically critical air travel services to remote locations. Purpose This policy primer describes the state of existing and planned Arctic aeronautical facilities. The overarching challenge of remoteness faced by many northern communities is discussed to understand the critical nature of air travel infrastructure in remote communities.
