A Closer Look Stanley Aviation’s unique head assembly design requires only a single shear bolt to secure the towbar to the nose landing gear (NLG) of the aircraft. A warning flag will extend if the shear bolt breaks under an excessive load. A Single Shear Bolt Leads to Lower Total Cost of Ownership Extra Bolt • Thicker in diameter & more durable than dual bolts typically required to secure aircraft NLGs to competitor tow bars • Extra bolt included • Short lead-time stock availability if additional bolts needed Warning Flag Retracted Warning Flag Extended (under normal load conditions) (if Shear Bolt breaks under an excessive load) +1.562.906.9300 | www.agsecorp.com | [email protected] 3 AIRCRAFT TOWBARS Compatible with Most Major Aircraft! = Available Feature TOWBARS BY PART NUMBER ACCOMMODATES NLG ATTACHMENT SHOCK-ABSORBING FLYAWAY PART NUMBER: Stanley AIRCRAFT MODEL(S) LENGTH FEATURE LUNETTE EYE CONFIGURATION TOW FITTING Airbus A330, A340, A350 130" 215030 Boeing 767, 777 "Slide-Lok" Category IV (330 cm) Douglas DC-10, MD-11 Airbus A320neo Family 127" 215040 "Slide-Lok" Airbus A320ceo Family (323 cm) Boeing 737 MAX1 172" 200460 Boeing 737 "Kwik-Lok" (437 cm) Boeing 727 Boeing 737 MAX1 172" 300460 Boeing 737NG "Kwik-Lok" (437 cm) Boeing 737 Classic Airbus A300-600 128" 240030 Category I2 Douglas DC-10, MD-11 (325 cm) 126" 215060 Airbus A300 "Slide-Lok" (320 cm) 131" 287000 Boeing 787-8/-9/-10 "Slide-Lok" Category IV (333 cm) 126.7" 215070 Boeing 757 "Slide-Lok" (322 cm) 111.3" 220530 Boeing 747 "Slide-Lok" (283 cm) 150" 215090 Airbus A380 "Slide-Lok" Category V (381 cm) 94" 2004703 Boeing Business Jet (239 cm) 1Shear bolt capacity rated below load limits for aircraft 2Configurations with Category III fittings also available 3Optional Storage Case (200470-6) & Warning Flag Available +1.562.906.9300 | www.agsecorp.com | [email protected] 4 ©2020 AGSE-Westmont Industries.

  • Air Cargo Traffic Is Growing. How Is It Affecting the Demand for Narrowbody Freighters? by Angus Mackay
    Air cargo traffic is growing. How is it affecting the demand for narrowbody freighters? By Angus Mackay From converting older aircraft to placing new orders, the global market for air cargo is pursuing significant fleet expansions to meet the needs of e- commerce. ___________________________________________________________ Recent trends notwithstanding, the resurgence in global airfreight volumes over the past five years has created a need to address the current and future demand for narrowbody freighter conversion programs. The Boeing 737NG and A320 aircraft families have been produced in high numbers and represent natural passenger-to-freighter (PTF) feedstock candidates not only for replacement of aging aircraft but also to satisfy significant forecasted air cargo growth, particularly in e-commerce markets. However, PTF conversion processes are costly, time-consuming, and complex from a technical management perspective. Thus, a critical review of the various programs is important for both a better understanding of the relative operating performance of the aircraft to be acquired and the technical and product support merits of each program. Air cargo market growth According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), in alignment with global economic and trade growth, air cargo grew by more than 9% in 2017, which was the highest rate of growth since 2010. Based upon the association’s March 2019 freight analysis report, volumes continued to grow 3.3% year-on-year, with freight ton kilometers growing 4.1% in December 2018 over the previous 12 months on a seasonally-adjusted basis. This is a steep increase compared to previous years when the air cargo market was shrinking.

    Russia: Opportunities in the Aviation Market 2012 Page 1 of 5 Russia 2013: Opportunities in the Commercial Aircraft Market Vladislav Borodulin February 26, 2013 Brief Industry and Market Overview The Russian aviation industry is controlled by state-owned corporations United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and Russian Technologies (Rostech RT). The Russian government “strategic” significance of the aviation industry is explained by the integrative role it plays in the Russian economy. Due to its close relationship with other associated industries - component manufacturing and machine-building - the Russian aviation industry has a significant influence on Russia’s development towards a more innovative economy. The Russian government currently pursues the development of aviation through its state strategy “Development of the Aviation Industry for 2013-2025”. The program was approved in December 2012 and the total amount of funding to be allocated is 1.7 trillion Rubles (appx. $56.6 billion). The Russian aviation industry consists of the following manufacturing segments: aircraft, helicopter, aircraft engine, avionics, and air components. The industry includes 248 Russian enterprises. In 2011, total revenue was more than 608 billion Rubles (appx. $20.2 billion). The industry provides employment for 400,000 personnel and contributes more than 1.1% GDP to the Russian economy, according to the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. As part of the aviation development strategy, the Russian government is interested in international cooperation on new aircraft projects and the transfer of Western technology. This is an opportunity for U.S. companies to get a foothold in the Russian economy and to engage in mutually beneficial aviation projects.

  • Best Industry Practices for Aircraft Decommissioning (BIPAD)
    Best Industry Practices for Aircraft Decommissioning (BIPAD) 1st Edition Aircraft Decommissioning Workshop Optimize the realization of residual value from aircraft decommissioning About 700 aircraft are being retired each year, with a growing trend. If undertaken in a timely and appropriate manner, decommissioning can allow recovery of a good residual value from re-used parts and recycled mate- rial, whilst minimizing environmental and safety risks. Timely retirement is an essential part of the fleet renewal process. However, for most airlines and other aircraft owners, such as lessors, limited experience is available on managing aircraft decommissioning as a controlled process. In this 2-day workshop you will receive guidance on business processes, operational experiences and best practices in the industry, reinforced with exercises, discussions, and role play to equip you with the knowledge to optimize the residual value from aircraft decommissioning. www.iata.org/training in IATA Training f @Training.IATA 2105_Magazine ad_Decommisioning_v3.indd 1 2018-11-07 3:20 PM NOTICE DISCLAIMER.
