Aviation Humor?The CopilotI am the copilot. I sit on the right.It's up to me to be quick and bright;I never talk back for I have regrets,But I have to remember what the Captain for-gets.

I make out the Flight Plan and study theweather,Pull up the gear, stand by to feather;Make out the mail forms and do the report-ing,And fly the old crate while the Captain iscourting.

I take the readings, adjust the power,Put on the heaters when we're in a shower;Tell him where we are on the darkest night,And do all the bookwork without any light.

I call for my Captain and buy him cokes;I always laugh at his corny jokes,And once in awhile when his landings arerustyI always come through with, "By gosh it'sgusty!"

All in all I'm a general stooge,As I sit on the right of the man I call"Scrooge";I guess you think that is past understanding,But maybe some day he will give me a land-ing. — Keith Murray

The TAILDRAGGERTaildragger, I hate your guts,I have the license , ratings and suchBut to make you go straight is driving menuts.With hours of teaching and the controls in myclutchIt takes a little rudder, easy, that's too much.

You see, I learned to fly in a tricycle gearwith one up front and two in the rear.She was sleek and clean and easy to steerBut this miserable thing with tires and strutsTakes a little rudder, easy, that's too much.

It demands your attention on the take-off rollOr it'll head towards Jones's as you pour onthe coal.Gotta hang loose, don't over control.

This wicked little plane is just too muchWith a lot of zigzagging and words obsceneI think I've mastered this slippery machine.

It's not that bad if you have the touchJust a little rudder, easy, that's too much.

I relax for a second and from the corner ofmy eye,I suddenly realize with a gasp and a cryThat's my own tail that's going by.

You ground looping wreck; I hate your guts,Give a little rudder, Great Scott, THAT'S TOOMUCH.

RAF Boosting Chinook Helicopter

Fleet with New Builds and

Rebuilds

By: Chris Pocock, January 18, 2010,Aircraft, Aircraft

Photo by Chris Pocock

The UK Royal Air Force (RAF) plans to order 22

new Chinooks, in its latest response to widespread

criticism over the shortage of heavy helicopter lift to

support British troops in Afghanistan. Last

September, the RAF announced for its existing fleet

of 38 Chinooks a $650 million upgrade program

named Project Julius that consists of a cockpit

upgrade and more powerful engines. In November,

the service deployed some of its AgustaWestland

Merlin HC.2 helicopters to Afghanistan for the first

time.

This month, the RAF took delivery of the first of

eight new Chinook Mk3s that were stored for eight

years after delivery, because of a procurement failure

(see picture). These aircraft were supposed to be tai-

lored for the use of British Special Forces, but their

avionics software did not meet UK military airwor-

thiness standards. The UK Ministry of Defence

(MoD) acknowledged that Boeing fulfilled its con-

tractual obligations; the fault lay in the British deci-

sion to save money by combining analog and digital

avionic systems. The aircraft have undergone “heart

surgery,” according to British Defence Minister Bob

Ainsworth. A team led by Boeing and also compris-

ing AgustaWestland and QinetiQ has renewed the

display screens, black boxes and wirings–more than

100 looms had to be replaced. The eight aircraft are

being delivered to almost the same standard as the

Project Julius upgrade. But they retain the larger fuel

tanks along the fuselage that distinguished them

from the RAF’s standard HC.2s. By the time that all

eight HC.3s are delivered, the UK Ministry of

Defence will have spent an additional $261 million

on them, after an original acquisition cost of $414

million (in 2001 prices).

THE AVIATION MARKET

HAS CHANGED AND IS

STILL CHANGING...

After the recent aviation market collapse

(aircraft in particular), and a host of

many other disheartening economic fac-

tors, many aircraft values are still on a downhill

slide. This is more so in the USA than in

Canada, however as always what happens in the

USA usually affects industries in Canada. The

most affected aircraft are the high-end singles

and twins that have a high fuel burn, on top of

that, the market for all the old “classics” i.e. C-

172’s, PA-18’s, Mooney’s and others of that type

is shrinking fast as more modern aircraft are

replacing the aging fleet.

Now may be a good time to buy if your in a

position to do so. Many prices have declined up

to 30% off of the last year. In many cases air-

craft prices in Canada and the USA have been

20% to 30% higher than they should have been

to begin with. This recession may possibly a

reality check in Canada and the USA. Be sure to

get an updated price quote to make sure you

that you’re not paying last years’ price, and

don’t just take the word of one party, ask some

one else, afterall it’s your money.

Selling an aircraft, the news is not too good, but

an accurate quote from a credited appraiser will

at least prepare you for the real, present market,

as well as making sure you don’t take too little

from unfounded rumors or charge too much

and loose a potential sale for a few dollars more.

Aircraft Insurance, if you own a plane and plan

on keeping it, you may be paying hundreds of

dollars too much by over-insuring it at past val-

ues. Make sure you contact your aircraft insur-

ance broker to give you current market prices,

which he will have in keeping up to date with

the market. An reputable aircraft insurance

broker who takes pride in his or her service will

work for you to get he best prices possible.

WHAT NOT TO DO AND WHAT TO DO!

Don’t use “ball-park” values from aircraft web

sites and listings in many of the aviation mag-

azines, chances are the people listing these air-

craft may not using current prices and their

listing prices will reflect 20% to 30% more than

the aircraft is actually worth. The only way to

get an accurate value is to get into the detailed

items and conditions of the aircraft. Remember

some dealers and brokers will use a common

book price and ballpark items glanced at and

give you a price. If you have every bought any

avionics or had engine and airframe work done,

you well know that these items are very expen-

sive and should be priced accordingly. Many

sellers “leave money-on-the-table” and do not

realize they are loosing money. Take avionics,

for example. The value of a DME will add to an

aircraft if there’s no GPS on board, but it will

have less value and appeal with dual GNS 430’s.

Another example is that a second glideslope

receiver may cost just as much as the first, but

the added value is not the same. A good certi-

fied appraiser would pick up on this.

REMEMBER that many high asking prices are

just that. A proper certified appraisal will save

the buyer money and prevent the owner from

loosing money. For what-it-costs to pay for a

certified appraiser to do an accurate market

value analysis will in the long run save you

money and instill confidence in the buyer.

Working together will result in a good deal for

both seller and buyer.

Don’t be taken in on the many computer

appraisals, there is nothing that will take the

place of a hands-on certified aircraft appraiser

who will have many years of experience with

aircraft, engines, avionics, airframes and can

tell you what your aircraft has and it’s market

value or what the aircraft your buying has or

has not.

Keep in mind that many reputable aircraft

appraisers who are certified must have in-depth

knowledge and proven qualifications before

they become a certified aircraft appraiser.

Do your homework and you will be surprised

the results will more than likely be in your

favor. . . . . EA

CUBCRAFTERS ANNOUNCES AVAILABILI-

TY OF AMPHIBS FOR CARBON CUB SS

3/19/2010 Yakima, WA

The Carbon Cub SS has now taken to the water!CubCrafters’ comprehensive list of options forthe Carbon Cub SS and the Sport Cub S2 now

includes Baumann 1500A amphibious floats.

The spectacular STOL performance that the CarbonCub SS has been widely recognized for is now avail-able to pilots seeking an amphibious float applica-tion. CubCrafters has recently finished ASTMCertification of the Baumann 1500A amphib instal-lation. The Carbon Cub SS and Sport Cub S2 maynow be ordered with this option or retrofitted forexisting owners. The aircraft can be delivered as aone or two place airplane in either the Special LightSport category, or as an Experimental Light Sport.

Lightly loaded the Carbon Cub SS amphib will beoff the water in 4 seconds, 7 seconds at gross weightand climb with very little penalty. Low altitudeclimb rate with the amphibs is still 1,800 fpm atgross weight. Landing gear retraction is handled by alightweight mechanical mechanism with a floormounted retraction handle. Dual water rudders arealso included and provide very responsive taxi con-trol. FAA regulations permit the gross weight onLight Sport Aircraft to be increased from 1,320 lbsto 1,430 lbs when floats are installed.

CubCrafters’ Owner and Chairman, Jim Richmondcomments “Ever since introducing the Carbon CubSS we’ve been fielding inquiries about amphibs soI’m most pleased to now have them available. Theperformance penalty in adding the amphibs was lessthan expected in all regards and results in a trulyremarkable amphibious aircraft — I’m not aware ofany float-plane that gets off the water quicker. Thismagic carpet will put a smile on the face of any sea-plane pilot!”

Equipped with a lightweight 180 horsepower engineand using 21st Century technology like carbon fiberand 3D computer design technology, the Carbon CubSS exhibits pulse-quickening behavior now on anyterrain. Proving that high performance and LightSport are not mutually exclusive, the Carbon Cub SSis without a doubt the go anywhere, do anythingcub.

PILATUS PERFORMS WELLDESPITE THE TOUGH MARKETENVIRONMENT

Stans, April 7, 2010

In spite of the general financial and economic crisis,2009 was another year of new records for PilatusAircraft Ltd: our highest ever operating income (CHF78 million), a record number of PC-12 NG deliveries(100) and the biggest single order in our entire historywith the PC-21 assignment from the United ArabEmirates.

Although these figures reflect a successful performanceoverall, the volume of orders for business aircraft hasfallen, and incoming orders remain sluggish. In autumn2009, Pilatus was obliged to introduce short-time work-ing for part of its workforce. This measure was lifted inearly 2010, and there are plans to recruit a further 100staff by the end of this year.

The largest order in the history of Pilatus The UnitedArab Emirates decided to go with Pilatus again in mid-November of last year. As an existing customer with afleet of 31 Pilatus PC-7s, the UAE have now opted forthe PC-21 training system. The total order for 25 aircraftis worth over CHF 500 million.

A further contract was also concluded with the FinnishAir Force for six PC-12 NGs to be deployed as liaisonaircraft. This is the first ever order from a European airforce for an entire fleet of this type of aircraft.

Changing fortunes for business aircraft sales The globalfinancial and economic crisis impacted on sales of busi-ness aircraft, resulting in cancellations and a slowdownin the order flow. Good planning and a full order bookensured we delivered a record number of PC-12 NGs(100) notwithstanding, including the 900th PC-12 to anexisting customer in the USA.

In 2009, readers of “Professional Pilot Magazine” and“Aviation International News” voted Pilatus CustomerService the best in its category for the eighth and sixthtimes consecutively.

Good capacity utilisation in aircraft maintenance TheMaintenance Business Unit remained very busythroughout the year under review, essentially in connec-tion with the conversion of the PC-7 fleet operated bythe Swiss Air Force. These aircraft were fitted with anew cockpit. Buoyant demand for component and main-tenance work also contributed to good capacity utilisa-tion.

Maintenance is also responsible for production of thePC-6: five such aircraft were delivered in 2009. The leg-endary Pilatus Porter celebrated its 50thMEDIARELEASE Page 2/3 birthday during the year underreview – and was brought right up to date with a state-of-the-art Garmin glass cockpit.

Our workforce: a key factor in our success We arepleased to reward Pilatus staff for their part in achievingour good results with a profit-sharing bonus equivalenton average to 150 percent of a monthly salary.

In spite of the difficult operating environment, Pilatushas maintained its usual high number of trainees. In theyear under review, 99 apprentices received training innine different professions, including a new careeroption: plastics engineering.

Difficult outlook for 2010 We have not yet seen theback of the global financial and economic crisis. Everypossible effort is being made to win new orders, but thesituation remains challenging. We must now focus ourattention on securing sales of the PC-12 NG this yearand next. There will also be a major milestone to cele-brate midway through the year: delivery of our 1000thPC-12.

CIRRUS AIRCRAFT NOW AN-

TICIPATING STRONGER-

THAN-EXPECTED

PERFORMANCE IN 2010

17 March 2010 07:43 by Cirrus Aircraft

In comments to employees, customers andsuppliers, President and CEO Brent Wouterstoday said the company was seeing signs of

a strengthening market for aircraft sales. Henoted that a number of key business measure-ments suggested stronger performance in2010 than previously anticipated.

"We are seeing solid signs that suggest thisyear could be better - potentially much better -than many are thinking," Wouters said. "Ourfirst-quarter sales are on pace with the resultsfor Q1 2008, a year where we delivered 550new airplanes. When you couple that level ofsales performance with a greatly improvedbusiness that – because of our successful re-structuring – has cut our breakeven point toless than half its 2008 level, 2010 is on track tobe much better than expected. We’re pleasedwith the momentum we’re seeing on the salesside, particularly in institutional sales whereour focus has already begun to show resultssuch as the 16-airplane order for flight trainingat Purdue University. We see many more newfleet opportunities on the horizon."

"The credit for this improved outlook goes toour employees, our suppliers and all our part-ners who are helping us find success by mak-ing deliberate and significant progress in everyarea of the enterprise. While much work re-mains to be done, by pulling together, the Cir-rus community is overcoming the economicheadwinds and helping us quickly and quietlygrow a very strong company."Additional highlights:

• In Q1 2010, aircraft deliveries are trendingwell above the same period for 2009 and onpar with 2008. Nearly 30 new customer aircraftare scheduled to be delivered in March 2010alone. • March 2010 deliveries included the first twoaircraft of 16 total for flight training at PurdueUniversity's Department of Aviation Technol-ogy, with remaining deliveries to take place in

It’s time to spring-clean your aviationinsurance...Updatingyour coverages isvery important

As spring arrives and many of us get back tothe skies in full force, we take it for grantedthat our aircraft need to be inspected and serv-

iced. Well, your aviation insurance policy is no dif-ferent. This is a good time to inspect and service yourinsurance coverage as well.

Too many owners simply assume that what was goodenough last year will be good enough this year too.Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case, as manyhave found out the hard way. So join me for a quickspring-cleaning of your policy.

Spring 2010 aviation insurance update . . . .

Unfortunately, aviation insurance rates are on the risethis year as the result of high losses suffered by theinsurers in recent years. The increases can be as highas 10-20%, with high- risk commercial operatorsbeing hit especially hard. I’m not sure if this makesyou feel any better, but aviation insurance is stillmuch cheaper, relatively speaking, than auto cover-age.

If there is any good news, it is that the competitiveforces in the marketplace are keeping the rates fromrising even further. That means that it wouldn’t hurtfor you to get a quote or two from different sources.You just might find yourself a better deal.

Be extra careful if you take my advice from the pre-vious paragraph: there are some companies pushinglower-priced policies that look and sound good butare severely lack- ing when it comes to coverage.

Very low prices usually go hand-in-hand with longlists of exclusions, restrictions, and limitations. Payvery close attention to liability limits on pas- sengersand family members; the minimum you should con-sider (unless you always fly alone) is $1 million withno sublimits. Even with the rising rates, insurancethat doesn’t really protect you isn’t a very good deal!

As always, make sure you deal with someone youcan trust and that you feel com- fortable with. If theyare trying to push a “one size fits all” policy or don’t

seem to know much about aviation, you’d be betteroff dealing with someone else.

Updating the market value of your aircraft is criticalAs most of you know, the prices of aircraft have sky-rocketed in recent years. A few years ago, a mid-1970’s Cessna 172 in good condition could be foundfor $25-30,000. In today’s market, the same aircraftare listed at $50-75,000.

This increase has a very important ramification foryour insurance coverage. The amount for which youinsure your aircraft has to be the fair market value. Ifit isn’t, you could be in for a nasty shock should youever have an accident! As I’ve explained in this col-umn before, the insurance company considers theamount of coverage to be the full value of the air-craft. So if you have a claim for that amount (ormore), they pay you only that amount—and they takeyour airplane as salvage. Therefore, if you were onlyinsured for $30,000 on that $60,000 Cessna, youwould get a cheque for $30,000 and lose your plane!

That’s why you should carefully consider the fairmarket value of your aircraft on an annual basis andupdate your insurance policy accordingly.

Territories and liability limits . . . .

As I mentioned above, liability limits are a very im-portant consideration and an area where insurers tryto cut corners. Your insurance spring-cleaningwouldn’t be complete without a review of this impor-tant area.

The first thing to do is to make sure that you knowexactly what your coverage is. Are there passengerlimits? Family limits? Or any other restrictions onthe way the policy will protect you? Are the limitsreasonable? Keep in mind that liability awards canreach millions and the courts will not only seize allyour assets but garnishee future earnings as well. Ifthe type of flying you do—or the people you flywith—have changed at all, or if you are not comfort-able with the limits your policy imposes, make theeffort to get some alternate quotes. Most peoplewouldn’t even consider a liability limit as low as$100,000 on their home or auto insurance, yet a sig-nificant percentage of owners do just that on theiraircraft policy. You may be surprised that the addi-tional coverage is not as expensive as you thought—while lack of coverage can be very expensive indeed!

Curtiss Robin

Introduced in 1928, the initial Curtiss Robins, designed to use surplus 90-hp Curtiss V8 OX-5 engines

from ‘The Great War’, had simple construction, fabric covered over a steel tube fuselage and an enormous

wing of wood with a 6-foot constant chord. The plane was destined to be an inexpensive high-wing en-

closed monoplane. Built by the Curtiss-Robertson Airplane Manufacturing Company of St. Louis, MO, the

early ‘Robins’ encountered difficulty with large flat fairings over the wing bracing struts and troublesome

bungee rubber cord shock absorbers fitted to the big-wheeled fixed undercarriage. Both these features proved

ineffective and thereafter changed on later versions. Regardless, the ‘Robin’ was said to have been the most

engineered private aircraft using similar standards to those adopted by the United States military. Overall, the

Curtiss Robin, going into full production just prior to the Great Depression, was to become one of the most

successful civil aviation aircraft of its time.

Numerous variants of the Curtiss Robin were manufactured of which the Robin B, Robin C, C-1 and J-1 be-

came the more popular. Most aircraft following the V8 OX-5 model (Robin B) were fitted with the more

powerful Curtiss Challenger radial piston engine (170-185-hp). The last-of-the-line Robin J-1 however, was

rendered a super charged 165-hp Wright J-6 Whirlwind Five air-cooled radial engine. All of the ‘Robin’ air-

craft were three-place and roomy, having a pilot up front and two passenger seats, side by side, behind. Also,

the Curtiss Robin had a reputation for easy handling, reliability, low trouble maintenance, and minimal cost.

A total of 769 Curtiss Robin aircraft were built.

Pictured herewith is a 1929 Curtiss Robin J-1D, s/n 705, tail# NC 511N, caught at the Arlington WA Fly-In in

2007. The J-1D has a cruise speed of 90-100-mph, a service ceiling of 13,000 feet, and a cruise range of 438

miles at 9 gallons an hour.

Sikorsky To Establish BlackHawk Helicopter Training Center For Latin America

Thu, 25 Mar '10

Training Conducted In Full-Motion Sim

Sikorsky Aerospace Services announced an

agreement with the Colombian Ministry of De-

fense on Wednesday to establish an S-70 Black

Hawk Helicopter Training Facility at the Colombian

Air Force Base in Melgar, Colombia.The Training

Facility will offer a full motion Black Hawk helicop-

ter simulator, providing the highest level of fidelity

recognized in the industry, to support pilot training

for the Colombian Armed Services as well as all

Sikorsky military customers in Latin America. Struc-

tured as an offset program, the facility will be a

launching point for development of Maintenance Re-

pair and Overhaul services, spares and training center

for both fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

File Photo - S-70 Blackhawk

"One goal of the new Training Facility is to further

improve the operational readiness of the Colombian

Armed Services as well as regional armed forces.

With the third-largest fleet of Black Hawk helicop-

ters in the world, Colombia is a very important cus-

tomer," said David Adler, President of Sikorsky

Aerospace Services. "The Training facility also rep-

resents a major milestone toward our overall com-

mitment to our customers in Latin America and is in

line with our international strategic initiatives. We

look forward to our continued expansion into the

global military market."

Cornerstone Laid For New

Bombardier Facility In ChinaFri, 26 Mar '10

Construction Of Factory That Will Manufac-

ture CSeries Aircraft Fuselage Underway

Construction of the facility that will build the fuse-

lage for the all-new Bombardier CSeries mainline

commercial jetliner has begun. The event - another

step in Bombardier's progress toward a 2013 entry-

into-service for the CSeries aircraft - was marked

with a foundation stone-laying ceremony today at the

site in Shenyang, China.

The 226,042 sq. ft. facility will be operated by

Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC), a subsidiary

of the state-owned aviation industrial entity, China

Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC). SAC is a key

supplier in the Bombardier CSeries aircraft program.

Pierre Beaudoin, President and Chief Executive Offi-

cer, Bombardier Inc. took part in the ceremony at the

Shenyang National Aviation and High Technology

Industrial Base in Dongling District.

"Bombardier believes in the China aviation industry

and is encouraged to see the further development of

the Shenyang National Aviation and High Technol-

ogy Industrial Base as a center of design and manu-

facturing excellence," Beaudoin said.

SAC delivered the first test article in the CSeries air-

craft program - a fuselage test barrel - to Bom-

bardier's Saint-Laurent, Quebec site on August 19,

2009. The test barrel is being used to demonstrate

manufacturing and engineering structural concepts

before the CSeries aircraft's final design phase begins

later this year. It has already been subjected to

40,000 simulated flight cycles of testing.

The Shenyang facility joins two other new CSeries

aircraft installations that are already under construc-

tion. In September 2009, Bombardier celebrated the

groundbreaking of the first CSeries aircraft building

in Quebec, Canada. Located in Mirabel, 45 minutes

north of Montreal, the Complete Integrated Aircraft

Systems Test Area (CIASTA) will test aircraft sys-

tems for reliability and functionality one year before

the first prototype aircraft flies. In November 2009,

construction got under way on the company's new

state-of-the-art aircraft wing manufacturing and as-

sembly facility in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Cessna Citation Service Centers

Win Customer Service Award

WICHITA, Kan., March 29, 2010 - Cessna

Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. (NYSE:

TXT) company, announced today it has

been named a winner of a 2009 MarketTools Cus-

tomerSat Achievement in Customer Excellence

(ACE) award.

MarketTools CustomerSat ACE awards are presented

each year by MarketTools to companies scoring

highest on customer satisfaction surveys using its

MarketTools CustomerSat enterprise feedback man-

agement (EFM) software. Cessna uses MarketTools

CustomerSat to measure customer satisfaction with

Citation business jet owners and operators visiting

the Citation Service Center network.

Cessna operates a network of eight company owned

service centers in the United States in locations

around the country, supporting many of the more

than 6,000 Citations delivered through the years.

Cessna also offers a variety of maintenance services

through its ServiceDirect program, taking mainte-

nance and service directly to customer locations

around the world.


Cessna’s Pelton Issues

Aviation Industry Call to

Action for

Environmental Issues

LAKELAND, Fla., April 15, 2010 - Cessna

Chairman, President and CEO Jack Pelton

issued a call to action to the general aviation

community to take a leadership role in defining solu-

tions to environmental issues so that responsible

stewardship works in conjunction with economic

considerations required for industry growth. Cessna

Aircraft Company is a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT)

company.

Pelton made the remarks in a speech after receiving

the 2010 Lindbergh Award, given annually to indi-

viduals whose work over many years has made sig-

nificant contributions toward Lindbergh’s concept of

balancing technology and nature. The award was

presented here Wednesday at a dinner at the Sun ‘n

Fun fly-in and trade show.

“Aviation has established an outstanding track

record in reducing its environmental impact as we

grow to meet rising demand for transportation

around the world,” Pelton said. “To further reduce

aviation’s impact on climate change requires partner-

ships between industry and government, and a com-

mitment to find realistic solutions . . . technically

and financially viable solutions everyone can live

with.”

Pelton said people in the industry must participate in

debate on the issues that should include not only air-

craft emissions, but operations, infrastructure and

research and development. He also called on the 1.2

million Americans who earn a living from some

aspect of general aviation to help tell legislators and

the public about the positive steps industry has

already taken.

“The market demands efficiency, and business avia-

tion has delivered a 40 percent improvement in fuel

efficiency over the past 40 years,” Pelton said.

“Keep in mind that during the same timeframe, pas-

senger and cargo traffic increased more than six

fold, making aviation an extremely greenhouse gas-

efficient economic driver.”

In 2008, Pelton established the Cessna

Environmental Strategy Council which focuses on

aircraft emissions, industrial emissions/waste/recy-

cling, recycling consumables, energy conservation

and engaging employees. Under Pelton, Cessna also

launched GreenTrak, a flight planning program for

Cessna Citation business jets that allows pilots to

optimize flights for time, speed and fuel efficiency

which reduces emissions.

Cessna is the world’s leading general aviation com-

pany, based on unit sales, with five major lines of

business: Citation business jets, Caravan single-

engine turboprops, Cessna single-engine piston air-

craft, aftermarket services and lift solutions by

CitationAir. In 2009, Cessna delivered 754 aircraft,

including 289 Citation business jets, and reported

revenues of about $3.3 billion. Since the company

was originally established in 1927, more than

192,000 Cessna airplanes have been delivered

around the world, including more than 6,000

Citations, making it the largest fleet of business jets

in the world. More information about Cessna

Aircraft Company is available at www.cessna.com.

Textron Inc. is a multi-industry company that lever-

ages its global network of aircraft, defense, industri-

al and finance businesses to provide customers with

innovative solutions and services. Textron is known

around the world for its powerful brands such as

Bell Helicopter, Cessna Aircraft Company, Jacobsen,

Lycoming Engines-Our History

In 1845, whenWilliamsport, PA wasknown as the Lumber

Capital of the World,Madame Ellen CurtisDemorest founded theDemorestManufacturingCompany. Over thenext 60 years, Demorest produced sewingmachines, bicycles, typewriters, duplicators, gasirons, and printing presses.In 1907, Demorest was restructured and namedthe Lycoming Foundry and Machine Company,focusing on the design and manufacture ofengines. Over the next 25 years, 57 Lycomingengine models powered over 250 different auto-mobiles, including the venerable Cord, Auburn,and Duesenberg.

On April 3, 1929, aBeech-designedTravelAir biplane wasthe first aircraft to fea-ture a Lycoming motor(the nine-cylinder, 215horsepower R-680radial engine) on suc-cessful trial flights. Itwas christened "The Lycoming" because theLycoming Manufacturing Company, now knownas Lycoming Engines, built the motor. The suc-cessful trial came just two years after CharlesLindbergh flew his "Spirit of St. Louis" nonstopfrom New York to Paris marking the "goldenage of aviation" and introduced Lycoming asthe world's foremost piston aircraft engine man-ufacturer. Over the next twenty years, Lycomingbuilt over 25,000 R-680 radial engines andestablished a worldwide reputation for excel-lence that has thrived ever since.

Headquartered inWilliamsport,Pennsylvania, todayLycoming is a globaloperating division ofTextron's AvcoCorporation subsidiary,and an operating unitof Textron Systems,specializing in the engi-neering, manufacturing,assembly, test and

support of piston aircraft engines. Lycoming'sfactory produces the most complete line of hori-zontally opposed, air-cooled, four-, six- andeight-cylinder engines available including theonly FAA-certified aerobatic and helicopter pis-ton engines on the market. The company hasbuilt more than 325,000 piston aircraft enginesand powers more than half the world's generalaviation fleet, both rotary and fixed wing.

Lycoming engines power a wide range of air-craft, are consistently reliable and are backedby a worldwide network of sales, service andtechnical support. As the industry leader,Lycoming continues to improve the performanceand value delivered to its customers throughresearch and development with enhanced valvetrain systems, alternative fuels and materialsadvancement.

GE Rolls-Royce FighterEngine Team Hits After-burner On Third New En-gine Fri, 26 Mar '10

Three More F136 Engines ExpectedTo Be Tested This Year

The GE Rolls-Royce Fighter En-gine Team has successfully hitfull afterburner on its third new

production-configuration engine, con-tinuing a year of major progress andmilestones for the F136 program.

The afterburner tests were conductedin an advanced testing facility at GE.All major objectives have beenreached during this phase of testing,which included an engine nozzle com-mon to both F-35 engine programs.The Joint Strike Fighter aircraft wasdesigned from its inception to includeinterchangeability with the F136 en-gine.Six F136 engines are scheduled fortesting this year, to measure engineperformance and endurance as thecompetitive engine for the F-35 pro-gram continues to demonstratesteady progress and significant mile-stones. F136 performance is meetingall expectations in terms of thrust,temperature margins, and fuel con-sumption -- confirming the vital rolethat it will play competing in the JointStrike Fighter program over severaldecades.

“We are marching along in develop-ment, making progress every day, andachieving full afterburner on ournewest engine demonstrates the ca-pability and success of the F136team. It also means the F-35 programis another step closer to reaping theproven benefits of enduring competi-tion in the engine program,” said AlDiLibero, President of the GE Rolls-Royce Fighter Engine Team.

“This year will be the biggest yet forthe F136 program as we ramp up ourtest program and move toward flighttest. The F136 is designed specificallyfor the F-35 aircraft, with an enginecore sized for the aircraft’s currentand future needs,” said Mark Rhodes,Senior Vice President of the GE Rolls-Royce Fighter Engine Team.FMI: www.ae.ge.com, www.rolls-royce.com

Consolidated B-24 Liberator

Early in 1939, the United States Army Air Corps

contracted Consolidated Aircraft Corporation to build a new long-range,

high-speed heavy bomber, having better performance than the already oper-

ational Boeing B-17 “Flying Fortress”. Remarkably, nine months later on

December 29, 1939 the prototype XB-24 took to the air on its maiden flight.

Although wartime crews were said to prefer the B-17 because of its tough-

ness and survivability, the B-24 proved to be an excellent and versatile air-

plane. The Liberator established a greater range, had a larger bomb capac-

ity than its counterpart, among other effective and distinguishing features

including a tricycle landing gear, mid-mounted, high-lift Davis wing, twin tail

fins, oval-shaped engine cowlings to accommodate turbosuperchargers, unusual roll-up bomb bay doors, a fully

retractable ventral machine gun turret, along with the firstly employed Hamilton hydromatic quick-feathering three-blade

propellers. Some of these characteristics served to greatly improve the bomber’s aerodynamics, allowing reduction of

drag and less fuel consumption thereby enhancing its long range capability.

Seven pre-series YB-24 prototype aircraft were built, of which six were exported to Britain, causing a first order of 36

planes in early 1940. After the initial nine came off the assembly line, the rest were produced as B-24Cs some of which

entered service with the US Army in November 1941. When France was over-run by the Germans in the spring of

1940, the French contracts for 120 units were trans-

ferred to the British Royal Air Force with other early

production B-24s to be named “Liberators”. Some of

the earliest “Libs” were deemed unsuitable for combat

duty over Europe and were thus converted to use by

the RAF on the Trans-Atlantic Return Ferry Service as

LB-30A transports. This successful employment led to

the Liberator I for RAF Coastal Command while others

and later examples were also assigned to Coastal

Patrol and Bomber Command. All told, 1,694 “Liberators” were delivered to the Royal Air Force. Also, 149 B-24s of var-

ious Marks, mostly derived from the ‘J’ model, were taken on strength with the Royal Canadian Air Force beginning in

1943. All were completely removed from service by 1949. R.C.A.F. “Libs” were mostly used in the roles of long range

coastal recon. patrol and heavy transport.

Making of the next and significant series, the B-24D generated much interest in late 1940, filling large orders for the air

forces of the United States and Great Britain. The United States version underwent extended development prior to

going into full production, after which the transparent-nose B-24D became the first “Liberator” to enter combat with the

USAAC in April 1942. Most of the Liberator’s early battle engagements were focused in the Middle East and the Pacific

Theater, later to serve with the U.S. 8th Air Force on missions over Europe. One of the more intense and costly bomb-

ing missions of the war was the Ploesti daylight raid of August 1, 1943. 177 Liberators took off from Bengasi, North

Africa, without fighter escort, for a low-level mass attack on the oil refineries at Ploesti, Romania. 163 ships made it to

target, out of which 54 were lost in action, and of those that returned only 33 were flyable. The enemy was waiting. The

heavy toll in planes and men was a subject of controversy for many years after. The ‘D’ Liberator had a maximum take-

off weight of 60,000 lbs, was powered by 4 Pratt & Whitney R-1830-43 Twin Wasp, 14-cylinder radial, air-cooled, 1,200

h.p. engines, possessed a maximum speed of slightly over 300 m.p.h. at 25,000 feet, had a service ceiling in excess of

30,000 feet and a range of 2,850 miles. The B-24D carried a crew of 8-10 with armament of 10 machine guns and

8,800 lbs. of bombs.

Hawker Beechcraft Delivers 600th

T-6 Military Trainer

WICHITA, Kan. (April 7, 2010) – In a special cere-mony today, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC)celebrated the delivery of the 600th Beechcraft T-6 –the world’s most proven military training aircraft.The U.S. Navy took delivery of the milestone air-craft, a T-6B, which will be based at Naval Air Sta-tion Whiting Field in Milton, Fla. The T-6 isversatile, safe and effective for basic and advancedflight training tasks.

“We all take pride in this milestone and this aircraftprogram,” said Jim Maslowski, president, U.S. andInternational Government Business. “For more than70 years, Hawker Beechcraft and its predecessorcompanies have been meeting and exceeding missionneeds for militaries around the world. We look for-ward to continuing this proud tradition.”

Deliveries of the T-6 began in 2000 after the aircraftwas initially selected to fill the Joint Primary AircraftTraining System role for the U.S. Air Force and theU.S. Navy. Since then, additional military programsworldwide, including NATO Flying Training inCanada, the Hellenic Air Force of Greece, the IsraeliAir Force, the Iraqi Air Force and the Royal Moroc-can Air Force, have chosen the T-6 and its derivativesas their primary trainers.

With a top speed of 316 knots, a +7.0G to -3.5G air-frame and an advanced digital cockpit, it is equallyadept at teaching the most advanced aerobatic ma-neuvers and simulated combat training tasks. To date,the T-6 has been used to train pilots and navigatorsfrom approximately 20 different countries.

In addition to the T-6, Hawker Beechcraft is rollingout a light attack version of the aircraft, the AT-6, inorder to meet rapidly emerging needs for irregularwarfare capabilities around the world.

AIRCRAFT 1-10 RATING SCALE - EXTERIOR & INTERIOR

AIRCRAFT EXTERIOR

10/10 Aircraft is new.

9/10 Paint is new. Airframe and paint are in excellentcondition with no scratches or dents.

8/10 Paint and airframe are in near new condition.Minor scratches (shallow, short and less than 1 or 2 persquare foot) are detectable only on close inspection (in-specting aircraft while standing at less than an arms' lengthfrom it). Paint on often-used fasteners and screws may bechipped.

7/10 Paint has high gloss. Small number (less than 3 or 4per square foot) of scratches are apparent, mostly on lead-ing edges due to abrasion. Close inspection reveals only afew small dents or chips (less than 1 or 2 per square foot).Windows are clear with no crazing or discoloring.

6/10 Paint is shiny. Several small scratches, chips or dents(4 to 6 per square foot) can be found, mostly around highuse areas (fuel caps, doors, struts). Some crazing or smallstress cracks (less than 2 or 3 hairline cracks per squarefoot) are visible in plastic and fiberglass structures. Severalwindows may be milky at edges.

5/10 Paint is sound (no corrosion apparent). Slight oxida-tion can easily be polished out, leaving paint shiny again.Two or three small areas (rounded corner of cowling, partof leading edge) of crazing can be found in paint. Paint onleading edges is rough from abrasion. Touched up or re-paired areas may be seen on close inspection. Small num-ber (3 or 4 per square foot) of short cracks can be found infiberglass wingtips and cowlings due to normal wear orhangar rash. Cowling seals are faded. Many (less than half)windows have milky edges. Several windows may be crazedor lightly scratched. Aircraft looks attractive to most peopleduring walk-around.

4/10 Paint is generally sound. Small areas require specialattention (touch up or repair by trained individual) due tooxidation, peeling, chipping, corrosion or crazing. Paint isdull in many (less than half) areas. Most windows arecrazed and scratched.

3/10 Paint is not shiny and has peeled in many areas.Most leading edges and upper surfaces are crazed and oxi-dized. Moderate number (5 or 6 per square foot) of chips,cracks or dents can be found. All window surfaces arescratched. Even after touch-up and polishing, aircraft stilllooks unsightly.

2/10 Aircraft looks terrible. Paint is badly oxidized, peeledand blemished. It is well beyond the touch-up and polishstage. Corrosion, dents and cracks require extensive work.

1/10 Exterior is so full of corrosion, heavy dents or tearsthat it will not pass an annual inspection without repairs.

AIRCRAFT INTERIOR

10/10 Aircraft is new.

9/10 Interior is new. There are no scratches, cracks, craz-ing or other evidence of use.

8/10 Interior is in near new condition. Any smell, dirt ormatting can be removed by simple cleaning. Some evidenceof use can be found only on close inspection.

7/10 A small amount of wear is apparent. Small, shallowscratches and/or stains (1 or 2 per seat) can be found onseats, carpet or woodwork. Stain remover and shampoo re-moves almost all stains. Headliner is clean with no stains.There are no nicks in woodwork.

6/10 Headliner may have a couple of dirty spots that canbe removed almost completely with cleaning. Matting inhigh use areas does not vacuum out completely. Steamingor shampooing improves interior considerably, but a coupleof small, limited areas (doorway, beneath rudder pedals) re-main looking worn or stained. No frayed or torn fabric isapparent. Leather, vinyl or woodwork has no cracks, butsmall scratches or creases (4 to 6 per seat) are obvious. Seatsand drawers operate smoothly. Scratches in scuff platesaround doorways are obvious. Interior still looks attractivewhen cleaned thoroughly.

5/10 High use areas (doorway, beneath rudder pedals) stilllook worn (fibers appear shorter than surrounding carpet)after thorough shampooing. Headliner may have severalstains but is not torn. Minor (2 or 3 instances per seat) fray-ing, staining or cracking is apparent on less than half of theseats. Small nicks are visible in woodwork. About one-thirdof the seats and drawers do not operate smoothly. Interiorcan be made to look clean, but it lacks sparkle in manyareas.

4/10 Scratches, stains and frayed fabric are seen on mostseats. More than half of the leather or vinyl seats may havesmall cracks. Carpet is matted along aisle. Carpet also hasnumerous stains, snags or other irregularities. Interior hastwo or three tears. About half of the seats and drawers donot operate smoothly. Wood laminates may be peelingslightly. Several cracks in scuff plates around doorways areobvious. Interior cannot be made to look clean or smellfresh.

3/10 Tears, snags and stains are clearly visible in manyareas. Several cigarette burns can be found. Most seats anddrawers do not operate smoothly. Interior looks and smellsdirty even after cleaning.

2/10 Cracks, stains, tears and snags are the norm. Manyseats have exposed foam. Interior is dirty and foul-smellingeven after thorough cleaning.

1/10 Interior is so dirty and worn that most people wouldbe hesitant about sitting down for fear of damaging cloth-ing.

Continental Motors Announces Turbo FADEC

Receives FAA Certification

Turbo FADEC Certification Newest Achievement in TCM’s Catalog of Aviation Firsts

Retro News - July 26, 2009 “(Oshkosh, WI) At EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2009”

Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) announced that it has received FAA Certification on the first Full

Authority Digital Electronic Controlled (FADEC) - Turbocharged Engine the TSIOF-550. The TSIOF550

joins the IOF240 and IOF550 in TCM’s growing line of certified, production FADEC engines.

“We developed and certified the Turbo FADEC 550 in response to requests from airframe manufacturers

wanting a high horsepower engine offering mated with advanced electronic engine controls” stated Rhett

Ross, President of Continental Motors. “TCM’s engineering team was able to create a product that has

exceeded our expectations and will certainly impress airframe manufacturers” Ross concluded.

The certified TSIOF550 engine boasts an impressive rating of 350Hp at 2600 RPM and a 22,000 foot critical

altitude. TCM’s PowerLink FADEC allows for single lever, electronic engine control that reduces pilot

workload in the cockpit down to selecting a desired power setting using a single control lever. With the sin-

gle lever, the pilot selects the power and the system automatically manages fuel to either “Best Power” or

“Best Economy” depending on the pilot”s preference. As demonstrated in recent efficiency test flights, the

system ensures ease of operation and automatic adjustment of fuel flow to maintain fuel economy and

engine operating parameters without constant pilot involvement.

An experimental version of the TSIOF550 has been flying on the front of a Lancair IVP for over 550 hours.

The TSIOF550 has enabled the IV to achieve economy cruise speeds of 255 KTS while enjoying a 17.5

gal/hr fuel burn. The TSIOF550 Powered Lancair is on display at TCM’s AirVenture Oshkosh 2009 booth

(229-234).

WARBIRDS . . .Continued from Pg26

While designed as a high-speed heavy bomber, the B-24

underwent more than 100 modifications and conver-

sions, not only to improve its primary purpose but also

because of its adaptability to satisfy additional wartime

needs of photographic reconnaissance, (F-7 variant),

Cargo - LB-30A and C-87 transport versions, (a C-87

was also the personal aircraft of Britain’s war-time Prime

Minister, Winston Churchill, carrying him to historic meet-

ings at Moscow, Russia and Casablanca, North Africa,

among other locations), C-109 fuel tankers that flew “the

Hump” to refuel B-29 Superforts operating out of forward

bases in China, TB-24 trainers, and CB-24 lead ships.

B-24s of all types virtually served in every area of con-

flict during WW II, but their major contribution was as

bombers, especially in the Pacific and Southeast Asia

where they dropped 635,000 tons of bombs and downed

4,189 enemy planes before war‘s end. Close to 1,000

“Liberators” also served in the United States Navy as the

PB4Y for long range maritime reconnaissance and anti-

submarine work. Before production ended on May 31,

1945, over 19,000 B-24s of all types, plus spares, were

built during the Second World War, more than any other

American warplane. Assembly was spread across a

number of companies at several locations in the United

States - Consolidated Aircraft Corp., and under license

the Ford Motor Co., Douglas Aircraft Co., and North

American Aviation Inc.

The B-24E equipped with different engines and pro-

pellers was the next model, followed closely by the B-

24G, which after the rendering of 25 examples, an

extensive modification program was introduced. New

armament was of prime concern, mostly in defense

against frontal attack, which included installation of a

mechanically controlled forward turret and improvements

to other armaments, that also became standard equip-

ment in subsequent models. The first G versions

deployed to the Pacific appeared for combat in early

1943. 3,100 heavier bomb capacity B-24Hs were next

built by Consolidated, Douglas and Ford in 1943, fol-

lowed by the largest production version of all, the B-24J.

6,678 “Js” were rolled off the assembly lines, starting in

August 1943, equipped with new engine controls, new

sighting system, changes in the fuel and feeding sys-

tems along with other modifications. The B-24J first

entered into combat on 16 November 1943, at

Bougainville, in the Solomon Islands of the Pacific.

Armament improved B-24L and B-24M versions were the

final production models before war’s end.

After the war many Liberators were converted for pas-

senger use, especially in Latin America. Today, only

three “Liberators” remain airworthy (two B-24Js and one

LB-30) out of twenty three listed world wide. The LB-

30B transport, known as DIAMOND ’LIL’, is part of the

inventory of the Commemorative Air Force, West Texas

Wing. Delivered to the British Royal Air Force as

AM927, this is the world’s oldest surviving Liberator,

being the 24th off the production line of Consolidated

Vultee Corp., San Diego, CA. Although fully airworthy,

this airshow veteran, N24927, is being gradually convert-

ed to B-24 bomber configuration. One of the two flyable

B-24Js is the photo featured aircraft of this article. This

perfectly restored “Liberator” N224J, serial no. 44-44052,

a Pacific combat veteran, now operated by the Collings

Foundation of Stow, MA, was also at one time flown as

the “All American”. However, in 1998 N224J was

repainted and renamed “The Dragon and His Tail”, in

tribute to those who built, flew, and maintained the B-24

and, to all other veterans of the Second World War.

PARK AVIATION . . .Continued From Pg 11The final stop on your spring-cleaning tour is aquick check on territorial limitations in your poli-cy. Most policies restrict certain northern areas andsome even prohibit operation into grass strips orunimproved runways. If your flying habits includeany of these areas, you should make a point ofamending your coverage.

Now that wasn’t so painful, was it? No mops,brooms, dusters, tools, or vacuum cleanersrequired! Just a few minutes to review your policyand maybe a couple of phone calls to a friendlyaviation insurance broker or two!

Then it’s time to move into the cockpit and enjoysome spring flying.
