Business aviation provides access and bolsters the economy in Iowa, and across the U.S. While companies that rely on business aviation represent many different professions and locations, they all have one thing in common: the need for fast, flexible, safe, secure and cost- effective access to destinations across the country and around the world. Business aviation opens the door to global commerce for small-community and rural populations by linking them directly to population centers and manufacturing facilities. Businesses use a wide range of aircraft including single and multi-engine piston, turbo prop, and jet aircraft to enhance employee productivity and efficiency.

  • Coburn Amendment #1752 – to Strike $6 Million for the Small Community Air Service Development Program (SCASDP) This Amendment
    Coburn Amendment #1752 – To strike $6 million for the Small Community Air Service Development Program (SCASDP) This amendment would strike funding in the bill for the Small Community Air Service Development Program, for which both President Obama or President Bush never requested funding. SCASDP was created in 2000 to increase air service at small airports SCASDP’s core objective is to award grants to airports with “insufficient air carrier service” or high air fares to be used to secure sufficient and cost- effective air carrier service.1 SCASDP grants are mainly used for revenue guarantees to attract new commercial airline routes and for marketing efforts to promote new or existing air routes. SCASDP has awarded for $146,147,822 since funding started in 2002.2 SCASDP Is Ineffective While the goal of SCASDP is for grants to establish long-term sustainable air service, the program has been unsuccessful in attaining any sustainability after the grant benefits expire. The core of the problem with SCASDP is that it is premised on temporary actions sustaining permanent benefits. In reality, most of the airports that receive these grants cannot sustain the commercial service they are seeking, as airlines discontinue the SCASDP funded route once the revenue guarantees run out. In 2008, an FAA Inspector General (IG) study reviewed SCASDP and found that “Most Projects Failed to Fully Achieve Their Objectives.” Specifically 62.5% of projects failed to attain even a single project goal, while 70% failed to fully achieve their objectives.3 SCASDP overlaps ineffectively with the existing Essential Air Service (EAS) program A similar program, Essential Air Service (EAS), subsidizes commercial flights to small community airports that operated before the deregulation of the airline industry in 1978.

  • Procedures in Complex Systems: the Airline Cockpit
    IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, SMC-27(3), pp. 302-312. PROCEDURES IN COMPLEX SYSTEMS: THE AIRLINE COCKPIT Asaf Degani San Jose State University Foundation San Jose, CA Earl L. Wiener University of Miami Coral Gables, FL ABSTRACT In complex human-machine systems, successful operations depend on a elaborate set of procedures which are specified by the operational management of the organization. These procedures indicate to the human operator (in this case the pilot) the manner in which operational management intends to have various tasks performed. The intent is to provide guidance to the pilots and to ensure a safe, logical, efficient, and predictable (standardized) means of carrying out the objectives of the job. However, procedures can become a hodge-podge. Inconsistent or illogical procedures may lead to non-compliance by operators. Based on a field study with three major airlines, the authors propose a model for procedure development which we call “The Four P's:” philosophy, policies, procedures, and practices. The various factors, both external and internal to the cockpit, that must be considered for procedure design are presented. In particular, the paper addresses the development of procedures for automated cockpits—a decade-long, and highly controversial issue in commercial aviation. Although this paper is based on airline operations, we believe that the principles discussed are also applicable to other high- risk supervisory control systems, such as space flight, manufacturing process control, nuclear power production, and military operations. I. INTRODUCTION A complex human-machine system consists of more than merely one or more human operators and a collection of hardware components.

    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 08/19/2021 and available online at Billing Code: 5001-06 federalregister.gov/d/2021-17775, and on govinfo.gov DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Office of the Secretary Community Input on Noise Mitigation AGENCY: Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation, Department of Defense (DoD). ACTION: Request for information. SUMMARY: The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC) is carrying out an effort requested under the report accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, to, in part, work with communities to find measures that would mitigate noise caused by defense fixed wing aviation activities. Approximately 205 active and reserve installations have been identified with “covered facilities” (hospitals, daycare facilities, schools, facilities serving senior citizens, and private residences) that appear to be located within one mile or a day-night average sound level of 65 decibel or greater of a military installation or another location at which military fixed wing aircraft are stationed. OLDCC is requesting affected communities adjacent to those 205 active and reserve installations to provide feedback through a web portal on measures to mitigate defense aviation noise for OLDCC to consider in its efforts to develop a community noise mitigation program in collaboration with the Service Secretaries. DATES: Affected jurisdictions should provide feedback by [INSERT DATE 45 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods: A web portal (https://forms.office.com/g/3pp0UCdArk) has been specifically designed to receive this feedback from these jurisdictions over a 45-day period following publication of this notice.

If a location is currently on DST, add one hour to the time in the Time column. To determine how much and in which direction you will need to adjust your watch, first adjust the time offsets of your source and destination for DST if applicable, then subtract the offset of your departure city from the offset of your destination. For example, if you were flying from Houston (UTC−6) to South Africa (UTC+2) in June, first you would add an hour to the Houston time for DST, making it UTC−5, then you would subtract ­5 from +2. +2 ­ (­5) = +2 + (+5) = +7, so you would need to advance your watch by seven hours.
