SMITH EDITOR OF THE MONTH • Several Stamps Depict Famous Persons And Aircraft Associated With Hel icopters • In the past few years there has de­ veloped a great deal of interest in the collection of autogiro and helicopter flig~t covers. This is most likely due in part to the fact that the majority of these flights are of recent origin and have given the average collector an op­ portunity to specialize without the ex­ penditure of large sums. Since trans­ po1fation of mail by helicopter is largely ; in its infancy there is still a great op­ portunity for the newcomer to start nch a collection. Along the same lines is the opportun­ ity for the collector who is only inter­ ested in stamps for an enjoyable side line collection This is the collection of JOHN J.

    Aviation Human Factors Industry News January 11, 2007 Vol. III, Issue 02 NTSB Updates Status Of Recent Investigations # 1: US National Transportation Safety Board said it will investigate a Friday morning runway incursion incident at Denver International Airport in which a Frontier Airlines A319 was forced to execute a missed approach in order to avoid a Key Lime Air Swearingen Metroliner that "inadvertently" entered the runway. The aircraft missed each other by 50 ft., NTSB said. The Airport Movement Area Safety System alerted the tower at the same time that the Frontier pilots spotted the Metroliner. # 2: Holidays Saw 12 Fatal GA Accidents. National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Mark V. Rosenker said last week that, during the recent 12-day holiday period between December 22, 2006 and January 2, 2007, he dispatched regional air safety investigators to 12 fatal general aviation accidents. These accidents resulted in a total of 31 fatalities. Pilots in Mo. crash went on a joy ride WASHINGTON — Federal crash investigators Tuesday blamed a pair of joking pilots who flouted safety rules for a 2004 crash in Missouri that highlighted shortcomings in training and safety oversight at regional airlines. Capt. Jesse Rhodes, 31, and co-pilot Peter Cesarz, 23, died when Pinnacle Airlines Flight 3701 crashed 2½ miles short of an airport in Jefferson City, Mo., on Oct. 14, 2004, after losing power in both engines. The pilots of the Bombardier CRJ-200, who were moving the jet from Little Rock to Minneapolis with no passengers aboard, repeatedly violated company safety rules, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said.

Warner Department of Civil Engineering and Duke Environmental Center Duke University Durham, North Carolina t>'iarch 1977 The research reported herein has been supported by a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Langley Research Center, Grant No. NSG 1121. ABSTRACT This report is intended to assist the planning of intracity helicopter systems so that current operations can both provide an alternate airport access mede and promote future intercity operations. A major aspect of the included study was the development of an interurban helicopter cost model having the capability of selecting an efficient helicopter network for a given city in terms of service and total operating costs. This model is based upon the relationship between total and direct operating costs and the number of block hours of helicopter operation. The cost model is compiled in terms of a computer program which simulates the operation of an intracity helicopter fleet over a given network. When l applied to specific urban areas, the model produces results in terms of a break-even air passenger market penetration rate, which is the percent J of the air travelers in each of those areas that must patronize the 1 helicopter network to make it break even commercially.

    MODULE - III Service Sector 8 POSTAL AND COURIER Notes SERVICES Are you facing any difficulty while studying this course material? Have you been able to comprehend the lessons you have studied so far? If not, please feel free to write to National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) about your specific problems. The NIOS will definitely find out a solution to your problem. But the question is how will you convey your problems? In the previous lesson, you learnt about various means of communication. By using any of those means you can communicate with us. In that lesson, you also learnt that letters are very common and convenient means of written communication. If you write a letter to us, then how it will reach to us? Who will bring it to us? Well, it is the post office or any other private courier service provider, which will do it. It acts as a middleman between the sender and the receiver. The sender posts the letter at the post office and the post office takes all necessary steps to deliver the letter to the person concerned. In addition to this, the post office also performs some other services. In this lesson we will learn more about various services rendered by the post office. OBJECTIVES After studying this lesson, you will be able to: • explain the meaning and nature of postal services; • state various services provided by post offices and private courier services providers; • describe the importance of postal services; and • recognise the role of private courier services. 8.1 MEANING OF POSTAL SERVICES You must have been to a Post Office.
