    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.

THE TRANSITION TO SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (SMS) IN AVIATION: IS CANADA DEREGULATING FLIGHT SAFETY? RENE´ DAVID-COOPER* ABSTRACT In 2013, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted Annex 19 to the Chicago Convention to implement Safety Management Systems (SMS) for airlines around the world. While most ICAO Member States worldwide are still in the early stages of introducing SMS, Canada became the first and only ICAO country in 2008 to fully implement SMS for all Canadian-registered airlines. This article will highlight the documented shortcomings of SMS in Canada during the implementation of the first ever SMS framework in civil aviation. While air carriers struggled to un- derstand and introduce SMS into their operations, this article will illustrate how Transport Canada (TC) did not have the knowledge or the necessary resources to properly guide airline operators during this transition, how SMS was improperly tai- lored for smaller air carriers, and how the Canadian govern- ment canceled safety inspections around the country, leaving many air carriers partially unregulated.

Lake,. J.M. Serafin and A., Mozes Research Branch, Canadian Transport Commission INTRODUCTION In 1981 the Air Transport Committee and the 'Research Branch of the Canadian Transport Commission on a joint basis, and in conjunction with the major Canadian airlines, (who formed a Task Force) undertook a programme of studies concerning airline pricing and financial performance. This paper is based on a CTC Working Paper' which presented current data on the topic, and interpreted them in the context of the financial and regulatory circumstances faced by the airlines as of July 1984. ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE The trends illustrated in Figure 1 suggest that air trans- portation may have reached the stage of a mature industry with air . travel/transport no longer accounting for an increasing proportion of economic activity. This mile/stone in the industry's life cycle, if in fact it has been reached, would suggest that an apparent fall in the income elasticity of demand for air travel between 1981 and 1983 could persist. As data reflecting the apparent demand re- surgence of 1984 become available, the picture may change, but 1 LAKE Figure 2 Figure 1 AIR FARE INDICES AIR TRANSPORT REVENUE AS A PERCENT OF GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT 1.90 1.20.. 1.80. 1.70 - 1.10 -, 1.60. ..... 1.50. .. 8 .: . 1.40 -, r,.

  • Flying Together: the Southern Ontario Airport Network May 2017
    Flying Together: The Southern Ontario Airport Network May 2017 FLYING TOGETHER: THE SOUTHERN ONTARIO AIRPORT NETWORK 1 1 INTRODUCTION Southern Ontario is set to experience significant growth over the next three decades and is one of the fastest growing regions in North America. Not surprisingly, demand for air travel across the region will follow suit, rising to approximately 110 million passengers over the same timeframe. This growth presents significant opportunities for the region, local communities and their airports. As growth comes to Southern Ontario it is critical that we are ready for it. By working together, our region’s airports will be better placed to support local economic development, and in doing so increase the competitiveness of the region, the province and the country. Successful cities and regions around the world have reaped the benefits of a network approach to supporting air service needs, and by better using the available airport infrastructure in Southern Ontario, our region can benefit as well. This approach will ensure that Southern Ontario is well placed to keep the jobs and economic benefits of growth in air service demand in the region. 2 FLYING TOGETHER: THE SOUTHERN ONTARIO AIRPORT NETWORK 2 UNPRECEDENTED AIR TRAVEL DEMAND IS COMING TO SOUTHERN ONTARIO As the most densely populated and economically productive region in Canada, Southern Ontario is an engine of the Canadian economy. The region is Canada’s export powerhouse, accounting for 37 per cent of the Canadian economy overall, 39 per cent of the goods exports and 48 per cent of the services exports. 88 per cent of Southern Ontario’s The region is also home to several Fortune population lives in the metropolitan areas 500 companies, 28 universities and colleges, of the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, and an innovation corridor that features the second-largest concentration of tech Kingston, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, companies in North America.

  • 1 Vancouver 2010 Winter Games Aviation Planning
    VANCOUVER 2010 WINTER GAMES AVIATION PLANNING COMMUNIQUE # 4 JULY 2008 FEDERAL PLANNING CONTINUES July 31, 2008 – Since the last Communiqué (April 2008), federal aviation planners have focused efforts on finalizing the rules and security enhancements which will provide for entry and exit procedures into the Olympic Control Area. The “Olympic Airspace” design was initially drafted, presented to, and discussed with the 2010 Aviation Committee in March 2008. The “Olympic Airspace” design has now been formalized following the most recent presentation to the 2010 Aviation Committee in June 2008. Planners continued to apply the overarching principles of developing a safe and secure 2010 air transportation system with procedures that would minimize disruptions to daily operations. Maintaining a consistent delivery of security enhancements requires that all aircraft accessing the Olympic Control Area comply with a certain level of screening for all persons and goods during the Games. This is a consistent approach being applied equally to operators which includes float planes, helicopters, air taxis, private and business aircraft and does mean that some aspects of the aviation community will be impacted. With that in mind, here are the confirmed details to date: OLYMPIC CONTROL AREA The two previously proposed 12 Nautical Mile Olympic Control Areas have now been merged to encompass the areas around Vancouver International Airport, the Sea-To-Sky Corridor , the Resort Municipality of Whistler and Pemberton (see Diagram 1*). Specific operating rules designed to minimize impact have been discussed at the technical planning level and some modifications have been made as a result. Airspace procedures into and out of Vancouver International Airport (YVR), for example, will remain unchanged albeit pre-authorization and screening will be required before access to the Olympic Control Area is approved.
