    No.: 2009-20080703001 Date: September 4, 2009 http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/safety/programs/sups/upn AFFECTED PRODUCTS: Aircraft: Boeing 727, 737, 747, 757; Douglas DC-8, DC-9 and MD-11 aircraft Part Number: Half Hinge Assembly, P/N 3953095U504 Notes: Additional parts may be affected (see parts list below). PURPOSE: The notification advises all aircraft owners, operators, manufacturers, maintenance organizations, parts suppliers and distributors regarding the unapproved parts produced by Watson’s Profiling Corporation, located in Ontario, CA 91761. BACKGROUND: Information received during a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Suspected Unapproved Parts (SUP) investigation revealed that between August 2005 and November 2007, Watson’s Profiling Corp., 1460 Balboa Avenue, Ontario, CA 91761, produced and sold parts (SEE ATTACHED PARTS LIST) without Direct Ship or Drop Ship authority from The Boeing Company. Furthermore, Watson’s Profiling Corp. is not an FAA Production Approval Holder. The parts produced by Watson’s Profiling Corporation have the following characteristics. • Their accompanying documentation indicates that the parts were manufactured by Watson’s, Profiling; however, they did not have FAA approval to manufacture and sell the parts as FAA-approved replacement parts. In addition, the investigation determined that some parts passed through various distributors. The majority, which were sold by Fossco Inc., 1211 Rainbow Avenue, Suite A, Pensacola, FL 32505. Documentation with the parts incorrectly indicated Watson’s Profiling, had

Coddington The Boeing 727-200 and 757-200 are both narrowbody aircraft designed for short- to medium-range flights carrying 164 to 214 passengers. Until recently, when overtaken by the Boeing 737, the 727-200 program was the most successful aircraft program in history. The 727 airplane has carried 2.3 billion passengers, equivalent to half the world's population (Sterling, 1992). More than half of all 727s sold were advanced 200s and as late as 1990 an incredible 50% of all U.S. passenger traffic had flown on 727-200s since the advanced model was launched in 1971.

Aerospace technology in its present form has developedalong certain basic principles of aerodynamic forces. Differentparts in an airplane have different functions to balance theaircraft in air, provide a thrust, and control the general mechanisms.Profusely illustrated descriptions provide a picture of whatkinds of aircraft are used for cargo, passenger travel, bombing, and supersonicflights. Propulsion principles and descriptions of differentkinds of engines are quite helpful. At the end of each chapter,new terminology is listed.

  • The Types of Missions Flown by Air America's Boeing 727S
    AIR AMERICA: BOEING 727s by Dr. Joe F. Leeker First published on 15 August 2003, last updated on 24 August 2015 The types of missions flown by Air America’s Boeing 727s: Although three Boeing 727s had been ordered by Air Asia, none of them was ever operated by Air America, but all of them were used by Southern Air Transport on an MAC contract. Connie Seigrist, one of the pilots who flew the 727s, recalls: “February 1967 – I left Intermountain Aviation of Marana, Arizona to rejoin the CAT Complex of the Agency to fly B-727’s of Southern Air Transport. All of my flying was in support of the Agency’s requirements in the area. Part of the flying was for the Korean troops, transportation to and from Korea to Vietnam. The flying was routine: Military personnel and cargo transportation. Enemy ground fire was always a threat on final when landing at Saigon or take-off at night from Da Nang. 3 January 1968 – My last flight into Da Nang flying a B-727 was slightly more than routine. I had arrived at night from Kadena. I went to Operations to file clearance and the Ops Officer said for us to move fast that the airfield would be under attack within an hour. I rushed the crew and asked the Officer to call traffic to have the aircraft off-loaded and loaded for departure immediately. We rushed to the aircraft for departure. […] As we turned for take-off, I saw the other end of the runway looking like a dozen fourth of July celebrations in one.

  • A Bove the Pacific
    Lieutenant Colonel William J. Horvat A bove the Pacific Printed and Published in the United States by Aero Publishers, Inc., 1966 ABOVE THE PACIFIC By LT. COL. WILLIAM J. HORVAT This is the first complete story of the flights “Above the Pacific” from the first Hawaiian balloon ascent in 1880 and the first Curtiss flights in1910 up to the prevent time (1966). Modern day coverage includes a discussion of the airlines that serve the area, as well as information on the satellite tracking facilities located on the island. This fascinating page of history includes the story of Hawaii’s vital role in the development of World Aviation History. Hawaii can truthfully be called the “Springboard to Aerospace” in the Pacific. As a halfway spot across the ocean, it has been used by sea-faring navigators for thousands of years; and the island’s strategic position in the midst of 5,000 miles of ocean has focused attention on this Garden Spot as an aid to aviation development. This authentic book is truthfully a documentary of flights “Above the Pacific.” Included are stories of the military interest, in addition to the civilian interest, in Hawaiian aviation. The succession of events is given in chronological order, with military as well as commercial activities being covered. An illustrated story of Pearl Harbor and World War II is also included. Editor’s Note: Above the Pacific was published by Aero Publishers, Inc. in 1966. The book is no longer in print. The publisher is no longer in business. The author Lt. Col. William J.

    Contents Puge FOREWORD ...................... u 1947-56 ......................... 1 1957-66 ........................ 19 1967-76 ........................ 45 1977-86 ........................ 81 1987-97 ........................ 117 iii Foreword This chronology commemorates the golden anniversary of the establishment of the United States Air Force (USAF) as an independent service. Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states.

Accident reports can be and sometimes are revised. Be sure to consult the investigative agency for the latest version before basing anything significant on content (e.g., thesis, research, etc). 2. Readers are advised that each report is a glimpse of events at specific points in time. While broad themes permeate the causal events leading up to crashes, and we can learn from those, the specific regulatory and technological environments can and do change. Your company's flight operations manual is the final authority as to the safe operation of your aircraft! 3. Reports may or may not represent reality. Many many non-scientific factors go into an investigation, including the magnitude of the event, the experience of the investigator, the political climate, relationship with the regulatory authority, technological and recovery capabilities, etc. It is recommended that the reader review all reports analytically.
