  • Idaho Air Services Study
    Idaho Air Passenger Demand Study Introduction Introduction to the Report Commercial airline service is very important to Idaho’s economy. Not only do businesses located in the State rely on the commercial airline industry to support day-to-day activities, but Idaho’s tourist industry is heavily reliant on commercial airline service. There is no national standard for what constitutes good or even acceptable airline service; such standards vary considerably by community. However, convenient access to the national air transportation system is a top priority for many businesses and tourists across the U.S. It is important that Idaho’s major population, business, and tourism centers have commercial airline service to meet their needs. All areas in Idaho have some inherent need or demand for commercial airline service. The volume of this demand is determined by factors such as population, employment, income, and tourism. Where each community’s demand for commercial airline service is actually served is a more complex equation. In the deregulated airline environment, it is not uncommon to find travelers who leave the market area of their local commercial service airport to drive two to three hours to a more distant, larger competing airport. The airport that travelers choose for their commercial airline trips is influenced by a myriad of factors. With the help of the Internet, which is rapidly becoming the number one method for airline ticket purchases, travelers can compare fares, airlines, and schedules among several competing airports. With airline deregulation, some travelers from smaller commercial airport markets around the U.S. have abandoned air travel from their local airport in favor of beginning their trips from larger, more distant airports.

There were no survivors among the 329 passengers and crew members. There was unanimous official opinion among authorities that an inflight breakup caused by an explosion in the forward cargo compartment occurred. Based on the direct, tangible and circumstantial evidence of four similar accidents as described in six aircraft accident reports and using the benefit of hindsight, the conclusion of this investigator and author of this report is that the probable cause of the accident to Air India Flight 182 was faulty wiring shorting on the door unlatch motor causing the forward cargo door to inadvertently rupture open in flight probably at one or both of the midspan latches leading to an explosion of explosive decompression in the forward cargo compartment and subsequent aircraft breakup.

Box 488, Ramona, CA 92065 Phone: 760-787-0016 www.ise.us 13 November 2019 (Revised) Mr. Alex Wilcox, CEO JSX 1341 W. Mockingbird Ln. Suite 600E Dallas, TX 75247 RE: ACOUSTICAL COMPLIANCE MONITORING & VALIDATION TESTING JSX AIRLINES OVERFLIGHT ACTIVITIES – NEWPORT BEACH, CA ISE PROJECT #19-012 Dear Alex: At your request, Investigative Science and Engineering, Inc. (ISE) has been retained to perform acoustical compliance monitoring and validation testing of existing overflight activities from John Wayne Airport (JWA), and their effects on the coastal Newport Beach / Balboa Island area. Our findings are presented in this summary letter report. Background and Need John Wayne Airport (FAA Airport Code SNA) is owned and operated by the County of Orange, and is the only commercial service airport in the county that provides commercial passenger and air-cargo service as well as being the primary provider of general aviation services. JWA’s location with respect to the subject study/testing area, and respective coastal overflight path (red dashed arrow), are shown in Figures 1 and 2 starting on the following page. Ongoing public concerns regarding general aircraft overflight noise from JWA has prompted JSX to explore modified flight operations to determine their efficacy in reducing overall noise exposure to the Newport Beach coastal area. Currently departing aircraft from JWA assume an approximate steady (linear) climb rate towards the coast, the so-called NextGen route, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. JSX is proposing a ‘modified’ flight path, which follows the same horizontal alignment as the NextGen path, but modifies the climb-rate to achieve a higher altitude earlier along the flight path, with the hope that this produces a smaller overall acoustical signature.

The Southwest approach to business and the industry at large have enabled the company to continue to grow at profit in times of true economic downturn. Presently, the market for air carriers is saturated and highly fragmented. Overcapacity has led the major United States airlines to compete with Southwest's low fare pricing strategy. However, due to the company's brand image of efficient and effective low fare service, Southwest has been able to ward off its competitors (e.g.

    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.
