  • Hints on Flying the Pilatus B4
    Hints on Flying the Pilatus B4 This is an English summary of Jochen Reuter's paper, published on the SAGA-website www.sagach.ch I could not resist adding a few hints of my own, where I saw it appropriate. But overall, it is still Jochen's text. And I was too lazy to convert any units of measurement from metric to English. If you prefer to go by knots and pounds etc. you will have to juggle the units yourself. General Remarks Any pilot, who is new to the B4 will notice that it is a "noisy" glider. The "blonk-blonk" of the skin panels can upset a novice, but after a few flights you get used to it and before long you'll ignore it. Jochen's B4 came from the UK and a previous owner had apparently tried to turn it into a high-performance machine. All the skin joints and rivet heads had been covered and smoothed. But if you intend to do aerobatics, this is not a good idea at all. Apart from the additional weight and lots of useless work, the putty becomes brittle with time and when the structure is flexing, will crack and eventually peel off. Talking about C of G: Jochen is very tall and weighs around 100 kg. So he flies at the load limit and also the forward CG limit. Earlier, he used to fly with the small tail ballast weight (2.3 kg), mainly to facilitate spinning, but now he recommends even for heavy pilots not to. In his opinion, the B4 handles better with a forward CG.

  • Civil Aviation Rule Part 125 Update Agency Disclosure Statement
    Regulatory Impact Statement Civil Aviation Rule Part 125 Update Agency Disclosure Statement This Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) has been prepared by the Ministry of Transport (the Ministry), with assistance from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). It provides an analysis of options to address the safety risk associated with commercial passenger operations in medium sized aeroplanes (10-29 passenger seats), which are currently subject to less stringent operating requirements than larger aeroplanes (30 or more passenger seats), and to achieve compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards and recommended practices. The preferred option is to raise the operating standards for medium sized aeroplanes by amending Civil Aviation Rule Part 125, which governs commercial air transport in medium sized aeroplanes. It is reasonable to assume that higher operating standards will improve the level of safety afforded to passengers on medium sized aeroplanes. However, due to the minor and technical nature of the amendments, and a lack of relevent safety data for medium and large sized aeroplanes, the underlying risks and expected safety benefits are difficult to quantify. The proposed Rule amendment would impose compliance costs on operators of medium aeroplanes. Operators wishing to conduct extended over water operations1 will be required to train staff in aircraft ditching procedures, estimated at an initial cost of $7,500 per two person flight crew, with annual refresher training estimated at approximately $600 per crew member. Other compliance costs will arise where operators are required (if necessary) to amend their expositions2 ($400-$800 per operator), or amend their operations specifications (approximately $1,000 for each of the two operators affected).
