AAA Update (Caroline Wilkie) • $100M announced in Federal Budgets and Labour also committing to funds. Discussion on how to utilise these funds. Department of Infrastructure engagement is currently underway 1 regarding how to access funds. Will be $100M for use for airfield maintenance, not terminal infrastructure. Aimed at airport with <250K pax and those who don’t make enough revenue to invest in works they require. Also possible some limited funds for airports who services aeromedical (e.g. medical PAX waiting for flights with no shelter). The Department look at launch in October. Members will be notified when the funds become available. Some Regional Airports have struggled so this will assist them greatly. Those impacted by changes to MOS will be assisted also. • MOS139 revision – when it is released, CASA has agreed that AAA will ask airports to advise on issues that affect them to help industry when they are ready for implementation – updating airport practice notes (12 currently). Updating all online training courses with intended March implementation. Addressing the perceived delay in getting the MOS out – unexpected staff shortages has been a contributing factor and AAA identified an issue with CASA which was agreed to resolve before publishing. • Welcomed Michael Monck from Recreational Aviation Australia (RAAus) and explained how this joint agreement is available for use by members for charging landing fees for Recreational pilots. Airport members were advised aeronautical fees should not be increased due to this being set up. • Major/metro sized airport issues – levels of ABF resourcing and new requirements implemented are currently being discussed. The inbound arrivals border processing trial at Canberra Airport has been halted with explanations expected in the coming months about next steps. • PFAS at Airports – AAA established working group to work through issues • Policy – many are being worked through. The regional airfare enquiry is currently being conducted through Senate. The Port Operators Guide revisions is also being discussed with Department of Home Affairs • Staff change in AAA office – Annie Frisch, Events Director has departed, and we are delighted to welcome Nicole Campbell as her replacement. • Two (2) new AAA groups have been established – Women in Airports and Young Professionals Group.

  • ADF Serials Telegraph Newsletter
    John Bennett ADF Serials Telegraph Newsletter Volume 10 Issue 3: Winter 2020 Welcome to the ADF-Serials Telegraph. Articles for those interested in Australian Military Aircraft History and Serials Our Editorial and contributing Members in this issue are: John ”JB” Bennett, Garry “Shep” Shepherdson, Gordon “Gordy” Birkett and Patience “FIK” Justification As stated on our Web Page; http://www.adf-serials.com.au/newsletter.htm “First published in November 2002, then regularly until July 2008, the ADF-Serials Newsletter provided subscribers various news and articles that would be of interest to those in Australian Military Heritage. Darren Crick was the first Editor and Site Host; the later role he maintains. The Newsletter from December 2002 was compiled by Jan Herivel who tirelessly composed each issue for nearly six years. She was supported by contributors from a variety of backgrounds on subjects ranging from 1914 to the current period. It wasn’t easy due to the ebb and flow of contributions, but regular columns were kept by those who always made Jan’s deadlines. Jan has since left this site to further her professional ambitions. As stated “The Current ADF-Serials Telegraph is a more modest version than its predecessor, but maintains the direction of being an outlet and circulating Email Newsletter for this site”. Words from me I would argue that it is not a modest version anymore as recent years issues are breaking both page records populated with top quality articles! John and I say that comment is now truly being too modest! As stated, the original Newsletter that started from December 2002 and ended in 2008, and was circulated for 38 Editions, where by now...excluding this edition, the Telegraph has been posted 44 editions since 2011 to the beginning of this year, 2020.

  • SLR Consulting Australia Comments and Feedback on The: Noise Limit
    SLR-0282 31 October 2019 SLR Feedback on Noise Protocol 20191031.docx EPA Victoria GPO Box 4395 Melbourne Victoria 3001 Attention: Director of Policy and Regulation Dear Sir / Madam SLR Consulting Australia comments and feedback on the: Noise limit and assessment protocol for the control of noise from commercial, industrial and trade premises and entertainment venues GENERAL COMMENTS The following comments apply to the Protocol generally. 1. The scope of the document is not defined within the document. For this document to be stand alone, the definition of ‘noise sensitive area’ should be provided within the Protocol, and not just in the Environment Protection Regulations Exposure Draft and the Summary of proposed noise framework. If it is determined that the definitions should not be provided within the Protocol itself, the Protocol should, as a minimum, direct the reader to these documents for the definition. 2. The Protocol appears to have dropped the use of italics, inverted comments and / or capitalisation when using terms that have a specific technical meaning in the context of the document. This can lead to confusion as the terms typically also have common usage interpretations. Instances include: • Noise sensitive area. See (1). • Receiver distance. See (20)a and (20)c. • Background relevant area. See (21). We recommend that all terms with a specific technical meaning in the Protocol, and particularly those that use common English, be italicised or marked in some other way so that the reader knows to refer to the glossary for their meaning. 3. There is no ‘Agent of Change’ option for the assessment of commercial noise.

  • 21 November 2019 Innovation And
    21 November 2019 Innovation and excellence on show at AAA National Airport Industry Awards A development project that changes how we respond to emergencies, a community engagement program reaching tens of thousands of people and a technical solution that allowed a taxiway replacement to be completed in just five weeks were among the winning projects at the Australian Airports Association (AAA) 2019 National Airport Industry Awards last night. AAA Chief Executive Officer Caroline Wilkie said this year once again showcased the industry’s commitment to delighting passengers, inspiring technical excellence and innovation, and supporting the growth of our cities and communities. “Every year the standard rises even higher as airports find new ways to work smarter, faster and always with the passenger in focus,” Ms Wilkie said. “We have seen airports once again improve how passengers access the airport, enjoy their time before their flight and move quickly through airport processes as a result of some innovative projects this year. “There are also some fantastic examples of airports forging ever-stronger links with their local area as an important part of the fabric of their communities. “it is great to see so many airports investing in a truly passenger-centric and sustainable future for our industry.” Brisbane Airport took out the capital city airport of the year after ramping up its community engagement program ahead of the opening of its new runway next year. Avalon Airport won the major airport category after welcoming its first international services, while Dubbo City Regional Airport took out the large regional airport category. Bendigo Airport was named small regional airport of the year after its first commercial flights in more than 30 years commenced in 2019, while West Sale Airport’s upgrade earned it the title of small regional aerodrome of the year.

Moody, Master of Science Utah State University, 2014 Major Professor: Dr. Jason C. Quinn Department: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Traditional terrestrial crops are currently being utilized as a feedstock for biofuels but resource requirements and low yields limit the sustainability and scalability. Comparatively, next generation feedstocks, such as microalgae, have inherent advantages such as higher solar energy efficiencies, larger lipid fractions, utilization of waste carbon dioxide, and cultivation on poor quality land.
