  • The Decade That Terrorists Attacked Not Only the United States on American Soil, but Pilots’ Careers and Livelihoods
    The decade that terrorists attacked not only the United States on American soil, but pilots’ careers and livelihoods. To commemorate ALPA’s 80th anniversary, Air Line Pilot features the following special section, which illustrates the challenges, opportunities, and trends of one of the most turbulent decades in the industry’s history. By chronicling moments that forever changed the aviation industry and its pilots, this Decade in Review—while not all-encompassing—reflects on where the Association and the industry are today while reiterating that ALPA’s strength and resilience will serve its members and the profession well in the years to come. June/July 2011 Air Line Pilot 13 The Decade— By the Numbers by John Perkinson, Staff Writer lthough the start of the millennium began with optimism, 2001 and the decade that followed has been infamously called by some “The Lost Decade.” And statistics don’t lie. ALPA’s Economic A and Financial Analysis (E&FA) Department dissected, by the numbers, the last 10 years of the airline industry, putting together a compelling story of inflation, consolidation, and even growth. Putting It in Perspective During the last decade, the average cost of a dozen large Grade A eggs jumped from 91 cents to $1.66, an increase of 82.4 percent. Yet the Air Transport Association (ATA) reports that the average domestic round-trip ticket cost just $1.81 more in 2010 than at the turn of the decade—$316.27 as compared to $314.46 in 2001 (excluding taxes). That’s an increase of just 0.6 percent more.

To provide a background for evaluating advanced STOL systems concepts, a number of short haul and STOL airline operations in the United States and one operation in Canada were studied. A study of flight director operational procedures for an advanced STOL research airplane, the Augmented Wing Jet STOL Research Airplane, was conducted using the STOLAND simulation facility located at the Ames Research Center. A flight experiment is proposed for use in the high air traffic region of the San Francisco bay area. Finally, changes to the advanced digital flight control system (STOLAND) installed in the Augmentor Wing Airplane are proposed to improve the mode sequencing to simplify pilot procedures and reduce pilot workload. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Summary i Table of Contents ii List of Abbreviations Used iii List of Figures iv Introduction v Results Operational Experience of STOL Airplanes and Short Haul Aircarrier Operations 1 Simulator Experiment 2 Comparison 3 Evaluation Results 5 Flight Experiments for testing STOL Operational Procedures Along Terminal Curved Descending Flight Paths 18 Suggested Mode Select Sequences of the STOLAND System 25 Conclusions and Recommendations 35 Appendixes Appendix 1.

  • Airport History
    City of South Lake Tahoe, California HISTORY OF LAKE TAHOE’S AIRPORTS Tahoe Sky Harbor Airport & Resort (Stateline, Douglas County, Nevada) During the late 1940s, Burke Creek was relocated & the western portion of the meadow filled to develop the first airport in the Tahoe Basin. The meadow area which is now West of Kahle Drive in Stateline, Nevada was used by Sky Harbor Airport & Casino; which flew its wealthy patrons in from San Francisco to spend money in the local casinos that were clustered around the California/Nevada state line. The airport consisted of a dirt landing strip and “gaming” airport terminal where pilots could test their luck. The Sky Harbor Airport was poorly engineered and its only runway was on too steep of an incline to meet aerodrome standards of the day. Unfortunately, the airport was short lived; closing in 1950. The Lake Tahoe Basin would be without an airfield until 1958. Page | 1 Tahoe Valley Airport/Lake Tahoe Airport (South Lake Tahoe, El Dorado, County, California) El Dorado County purchased airport land from George and Minnie Kyburz in 1957 for the constructIon of a new airport. The Kyburz family had used the Upper Trucke River and adjacent meadowland for cattle and sheep ranching prior to improvements as an airport. The Tahoe Valley Airport; as it was initially called, was to be the highest commercial service airport in California. The County broke ground for the airport in 1958. The airport opened on August 1, 1959 with a 5900' runway and was the only airport along 750 miles of the High Sierras capable of supporting private aircraft, military aircraft and scheduled air carriers.
