  • BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas Between 1945 and 1957)
    Last updated 10 March 2021 BEECH 18 PRODUCTION LIST Compiled by Geoff Goodall PART 2: BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas between 1945 and 1957) Beech D18S VH-FIE (A-808) flown by owner Rod Lovell at Mangalore, Victoria in April 1984. Photo by Geoff Goodall The D18S was the first new commercial Beechcraft model at the end of World War II. It began a production run of 1,800 Beech 18 variants for the post-war market (D18S, D18C, E18S, G18S, H18), all built by Beech Aircraft Company at their Wichita Kansas plant. The “S” suffix indicated it was powered by the reliable 450hp P&W Wasp Junior series. The first D18S c/n A-1 was first flown in October 1945 at Beech field, Wichita. On 5 December 1945 the D18S received CAA Approved Type Certificate No.757, the first to be issued to any post-war aircraft. The first delivery of a new model D18S to a customer departed Wichita the following day. From 1947 the D18C model was available as an executive version with more powerful 525hp Continental R-9A radials, also offered as the D18C-T passenger transport approved by CAA for feeder airlines. Beech assigned c/n prefix "A-" to D18S production, and "AA-" to the small number of D18Cs. Total production of the D18S, D18C and Canadian Expediter Mk.3 models was 1,035 aircraft.

Origin On February 22, 2018, CES Committee received presentation; CES-2-2018-DEL-C entitled “Orgne Overview” from Rob Giguere, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO of Ornge. In his presentation, Mr. Giguere made reference to the coverage of helipad locations available for Ornge Helicopter use and that Orgne can provide expert guidance in the development of new helipads. The following report provides some explanation and illustrations of landing facilities identifying the level of coverage available and support for the potential consideration of additional coverage with future growth requirements. Analysis In his presentation, Mr. Giguere made reference to the supply of “12 aerodromes within 60 nautical miles of Muskoka” and to the availability of “20 helipads.” Following the presentation, a list of ‘usable’ and ‘not usable’ sites was clarified with Ornge, and the attached two maps and a list were prepared showing landing sites within 60 nautical miles of Muskoka and within The District Municipality of Muskoka (District), see Appendices “I”, “II” and “III”. Interestingly, there are seven (7) Transport Canada registered aerodromes and one (1) Transport Canada registered helipad within the District that Ornge does not normally use because they are privately owned and operated, and seasonal in nature.

  • Chapter 6: System Recommendations
    6. System Recommendations 6.1. Introduction This chapter builds on the findings of Chapter 5. System Performance by establishing future performance targets and making recommendations for South Dakota’s aviation system to achieve those future targets. This chapter is organized around the three system goals established at the beginning of the study and includes a review of each goal’s associated performance measures (PMs) to identify gaps in system performance. Performance gaps are determined by comparing the existing performance (presented in Chapter 5) to the future performance targets established by the South Dakota Department of Transportation Office of Aeronautics Services (SDDOT) and stakeholder groups to identify the number of airports, by state role and system-wide, that are not meeting each PM. Evaluating the existing performance against future performance targets provides a list of airports that are deficient in meeting the PM and therefore are candidates for system plan project recommendations. However, it is important to note that while these lists of airports by PM are helpful in understanding the system gaps, resources are limited and therefore an airport’s mention in this chapter is not a guarantee of project funding. For more information on SDSASP recommended projects, including anticipated costs and project priorities, see Chapter 7. System Needs and Project Costs. As a supplement to this recommendations chapter, Appendix E – NPIAS Analysis and Recommendations offers recommendations related to airport inclusion and exclusion from National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) and changes to ASSET classifications for SDSASP airports. While this information does not pertain directly to the recommendations included in this chapter, it does provide additional context as it relates to system recommendations.
