Ministry of Defence (MoD) has resorted to yet another revision of Welcome aboard and happy landings! the Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP). Dubbed as DPP 2013, theA new version of the document attempts to provide a level playing field for the indigenous industry. As per A.K. Antony, the Minister of Defence, the panacea for the ills plaguing the process of pro- curement of defence equipment is indigenisation. In this issue of SP’s Aviation, different authors delve into the various aspects of the procurement process, DPP 2013 and the issue of indigenisation. Air Marshal (Retd) Anil Chopra also examines the issue of foreign direct investment in defence and concludes that this is only way forward. While the Indian Air Force (IAF) awaits with bated breath for the news on award of the contract for 126 Rafale medium multi- role combat aircraft (MMRCA), the MoD has floated a tender for 56 aircraft to replace the ageing fleet, the HS-748 Avro, in service with the IAF since the 1960s. Beginning with this issue, the case for MMRCA for the IAF will be reviewed in detail in a five-part series. This is also the season for international air shows. R.

It may be many miles from my home shores and the words may have been spoken by an American but they rang somewhat true to the situation at home where the new and developing National Police Air Service is still finding its feet. I was sitting in on the Unit Managers Course when the instructor, a greatly respected man who earned his respect by running a large and successful air operation, reminded his stu- dents of their purpose in life. “If the cops on the street are not screaming for you to come in the expectation of getting [air support] help, the operation is flawed and should be considered a failure” Bryn Elliott LAW ENFORCEMENT BRAZIL PARA: Emergency services aviation in Brazil has reportedly fallen on hard times.

The main aim of the Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit (V2010 ISU) website is to highlight the organisation, its achievements and intentions. The site provides a point of contact for general inquiries, suggestions, concerns, etc. about the seven thousand sworn security personnel - RCMP and Municipal police officers – em- ployed from across Canada. The ISU is working with its security partners in planning security for the Games, and al- though these plans have not been finalized, this will likely include the deployment of non- RCMP security.

  • Easa Airworthiness Directive
    EASA AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE AD No.: 2008-0064 R1 Date: 15 April 2008 No person may operate an aircraft to which an Airworthiness Directive applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that Airworthiness Directive unless otherwise agreed with the Authority of the State of Registry. Type Approval Holder’s Name : Type/Model designation(s) : EUROCOPTER DEUTSCHLAND GmbH EC135 and EC635 helicopters TCDS Number: EASA R.009 Foreign AD: Not applicable Revision: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) revises and replaces EASA AD 2008-0064 dated 04 April 2008. Rotor Flight Controls – Tail Rotor Control Rod and Ball Pivot – ATA 67 Inspection / Replacement Manufacturer(s): Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH EC135 and EC635 series helicopters, all models, all serial numbers, if equipped Applicability: with Control rod Part Number (P/N) L672M2005207, Ball pivot P/N 92-201-00 and/or Ball pivot P/N 92-207-00. In 2007, an accident occurred with an EC135 helicopter in Japan. Preliminary investigation results appeared to indicate that loss of control was due to failure of the tail rotor control rod. Eurocopter Deutschland (ECD) issued an Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) to address this unsafe condition, instructing operators to inspect the affected control rod and the respective attachments. To prevent further occurrences of this kind, EASA issued Emergency AD 2007-0301-E, subsequently superseded by AD 2007-0313, to require the inspection and, if found damaged, the replacement of the tail rotor control rod and ball pivot, only for helicopters not equipped with an Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS). Reason: After receipt of the inspection results of that AD and further review, it became apparent that the inspection requirements should also be applied to helicopters SUPERSEDEDequipped with AFCS.
