flightglobalcomcomment See This Week P11

British Airways may be centre stage for this weekrsquosreport on a case of pilot and cabin crew illness but

it is an industry-wide problem not related to a specificairline or aircraft type

As more and more pilots and cabin crew come for-ward with manifestations of organophosphate-inducedneurotoxicity (OPIN) it is getting more difficult for air-lines manufacturers and government departments totake the official line that it is nothing to do with theirwork Plus as medical knowledge on the subject is ac-cumulated and more tissue damage samples gatheredit will become even more difficult

The Richard Westgate case is likely to become an in-dustry watershed Westgate was a 43-year-old BA pilot

who died in December 2012 and the difference in hiscase is that he had extensive medical tests done both before his death and by autopsy after it

Most crew OPIN victims suffer traumatic symptomsand just lose their jobs However since Westgatersquos casea BA steward has died ndash and although his case was notrecognised before death an autopsy revealed almostidentical OPIN symptoms to Westgatersquos As lawyerFrank Cannon remarks ldquoThey can try explaining one[case] away but not another and then anotherrdquo

The industry can pursue several potential solutionsto prevent engine oil-based organophosphates getting

into cabin air ndash but it had better accelerate its efforts

Clearing the air

See Air Transport P13

R e x F e a t u r e s

Singing from the same hymn sheet requires the right tune

The commercial airline industry does not have a centralised source of advice on the dangers

of 1047298ying over con1047298ict zones ndash but would such a system be any more credible than what exists

Conflicting risks

In the wake of flight MH17rsquos loss over eastern Ukraineit is right that ICAO has called a high-level meeting to

examine what if anything could be done to mitigaterisks to commercial air transport in conflict zones

It not clear however that any workable mitigationsare available ndash apart from the obvious tactic of avoidingairspace over all conflict zones however minor theconflict may be That remedy is open to airlines any-way ndash risk management is their responsibility

The idea of being compelled to avoid all airspacesubject to any form of dispute is anathema to ICAO All

the treaties of which it is custodian and curator areabout ensuring freedom of the skies for travel and tradendash just as its maritime equivalent the IMO guards thefreedom of the oceans for shipping So not only doesICAO see the closure of airspace as undesirable but asa United Nations agency it cannot order airlines not touse specific airspace ndash it can only provide advice Onlystates have the right close their own airspace

At present airlines have a system for airspace riskassessment Information about conflicts is available notonly via the media but through NOTAMs home gov-ernments the military embassies and regional officesof IATA

But would a centralised system be any more reliable Is there any intrinsic benefit from every airlinehaving access to the same intelligence-based advice Itmay be a tidy idea but singing from the same hymn

Being compelled to avoid all

airspace subject to any form

of dispute is anathema to ICAO

sheet is not good if it is the wrong hymn Also whowould run a central agency for airspace safety adviceICAO would be the obvious answer in terms of reliabil-ity independence and aviation expertise but such atask is diametrically opposed to its raison drsquoetre ndash andit is not an expert in international or internal conflicts

Finally ICAO would have to depend completelyupon reliable consistent intelligence feeds from allover the world ndash which many nations might not behappy to supply ndash and also upon having the expertise

to make a judgement airlines would trustSetting up a scale of four airspace risk categories

from zero to high risk might make passengers feel bet-ter informed but it is not the passengerrsquos decision it isthe airlinersquos

Also under consideration is a treaty to control theproduction use and ownership of missiles just asthere are treaties banning biological weapons

There is certainly no guaranteed outcome for thatproposal ndash and if there were it would take years



THIS WEEK


Acontract for leased un-manned air vehicle (UAV)

services in support of the securitymission in Ukraine is expected to be awarded imminently an in-dustry source has revealed

The Organization for Securityand Co-operation in Europe(OSCE) recently issued a solicita-tion for bids which closed on Fri-

day 25 July It stipulates the re-quirement for a turnkey UAVsolution for deployment in theconflicted east of the country

The OSCE is seeking a verticaltake-off and landing platformpreferably for round-the-clockmonitoring operations to be op-erational within weeks

Vienna-based Schiebel re-sponded to the tender with itsCamcopter S-100 but it is un-clear whether any other systemshave been offered Saabrsquos Skeldar

UAV would fulfil the require-ment although the company de-clines to comment on any bid

ldquo[The solicitation] came out ofnowhererdquo says Chris Day headof capability engineering atSchiebel ldquoOur understanding isthat they want something prettymuch now ndash they donrsquot wantsomething in a monthrsquos timerdquo

The OSCE was unavailable tocomment on the solicitation andthe date of its release remains un-known However sources claim

it was issued suddenly leadingto speculation that the downing

of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17in the Donetsk region of Ukraineprompted the tender

Day says Schiebel has offeredtwo full systems ndash each compris-ing two aircraft plus groundcontrol station ndash to provide 24hcoverage The requirement for arotary-wing aircraft is due to thelack of available airfields and

runways in the areaSchiebel says the tender re-

quires electro-optical and syn-thetic aperture radar payloadswhich the Camcopter can carrysimultaneously for around 6h

The scope of the surveillanceoperation remains unknownalthough it is thought the UAVwill monitor the movement ofcargo in the region

ldquoThe ability monitor accessroutes and the movement of mili-tary materiel would be valuable

to OSCE hence the interest in ac-quiring or leasing UAV capabilityfor this areardquo says Doug Barriesenior fellow for military aero-space at the International Insti-tute for Strategic Studies

The system will initially bedeployed for one month on a trial basis although this is expected to be extended if the system provesa success

No evidence has so faremerged of UAV use by eitherside in the Ukrainian conflict

and the size of the nationrsquos un-manned inventory is unclear

F inal assembly of the 787-10will be conducted by Boeing

at its facility in North CharlestonSouth Carolina beginning in 2017

ldquoWe looked at all our optionsand found the most efficient andeffective solution is to build the787-10 at Boeing South Caroli-nardquo says Larry Loftis vice presi-dent and general manager of the787 programme

ldquoThis will allow us to balance787 production across the NorthCharleston and Everett sites as

Charlestonhellip [also] allows the Ev-erett facility to focus on the 787-8and 787-9rdquo says the airframer

The 787-10 is 55m (18ft) long-er than the 787-9 and 305m ofthat additional length is in themidbody section

Boeing has three productionlines for the 787 ndash two in Everettand one in South Carolina ndash pro-ducing 10 aircraft a month Thiswill increase to 12 in 2016 and 14 by the end of the decade

ATV-5 ndash dubbed George Lemaicirc-tre ndash was launched using theAirbus Defence amp Space Ariane 5

rocket on 29 July from KourouFrench New Guinea

ATV-5 was expected to have

completed its initial operationssome 10h after launch and will

take two weeks to test equipmentand perform experiments

The mission will include thevehicle flying around the ISS totest its laser infrared imaging sen-sor (LIRIS) A virtual 3D model ofthe station will be generatedusing LIRIS after which the datastored on board will be down-loaded and analysed

ATV-5 will then dock with theISS on 12 August for six months

and deliver 6600kg (14600lb) offreight after which it will leavewith waste material

ATV-5 ndash for which Airbus wasalso the prime contractor ndash weighs20t making it the heaviest pay-load to be launched by Ariane

The pod launched on 29 July

The US Federal Aviation Ad-ministration has proposed to

mandate a series of actions al-ready recommended by Sikorskyaimed at preventing a main gearbox oil pump failure on the air-framerrsquos S-92 helicopter

The proposals include auto-mating a process to switch a by-pass valve if oil pressure drops

below 24bar (35psi) and install-ing a sensor that would detect anoil pressure drop and alert thepilot a notice of proposed rule-making issued on 23 July says

The FAA would also requiresoftware changes to give the pilotvisual and aural warnings of anoil pump failure in the S-92rsquosmain gearbox

Publishing the draft rule in theFederal Register is the first step inthe FAArsquos rulemaking processThe public now has a chance to

comment on the rule until 22September

Sikorsky has already advisedS-92 operators to make the samehardware and software changesin a series of service bulletins is-sued by the company from 2011to 2013

The bulletins and rulemakingprocess began following the 2009

crash of an S-92 off Newfound-land Canada in which 17 peopledied due to a loss of oil in themain gearbox

The FAA document also dis-closes another incident of a leak-ing oil pump

The S-92rsquos manual requires thepilot to manually switch the by-pass valve within 5s of an oilpump failure alert In that case ittook the pilot significantly longerto make the manual switch theFAA says

Sustained exposure to organo-phosphates (OP) from con-

taminated cabin air contributedto the death of a 43-year-oldBritish Airways pilot a group ofmedical experts believe

Their findings are likely to in-crease pressure on the industry totake more seriously the issue ofsustained exposure to engine bleed air Airlines and govern-ments have dismissed sugges-tions that it can be a factor behindflightcrew falling ill

The pilot senior first officerRichard Westgate started flyingprofessionally in 1996 andworked for various airlines be-fore joining BA in 2007 He diedin December 2012 after years ofincreasingly serious symptoms ofsickness that went undiagnosedin the UK despite reference to 15different medical consultants

Symptoms included head-aches loss of memory and numb-ness in his limbs He was ground-ed on full pay in September

2011 and consultation with aneurologist in Amsterdam fol-lowed As a result extensive

MEDICAL INVESTIGATION DAVID LEARMOUNT LONDON

Cabin air killed BA pilot say expertsAuthority on organophosphate poisoning says tissue from Richard Westgate who died in 2012 ldquoworst caserdquo he has seen

medical details of his symptoms before death are on record

Although no coronerrsquos inquesthas been held into his death med-ical experts led by Prof MohamedAbou-Donia of Duke UniversityMedical School North Carolinathe worldrsquos leading authority onorganophosphate poisoning havejust published a study into twoautopsies carried out on Westgatewho until his illness was a slim fitparagliding champion

Abou-Donia and his colleagues

are also investigating the deaththis year of an unnamed 34-year-old BA airline steward whosetissue samples indicate degrada-tion that appears identical toWestgatersquos case and ldquoconsistentwith organophosphate-inducedneurotoxicityrdquo Both he andWestgate died in their beds

POISONING

Abou-Donia says Westgatersquos caseis ldquoone of the worst cases of orga-no-phosphate [OP] poisoning I

have come across In all my spe-cialised tests for neuro-specificauto-antibodies he was the worst

by farrdquo He adds ldquoThe air trans-port industry constantly over-looks vital components of OP poi-soning the combined effects ofmultiple compound exposure ndashrepeated low-dosage exposure isjust as dangerous as a single largedose (often more so) ndash and the ge-netic predisposition to toxicity ofthe individualrsquos genesrdquo

The potential risks of air con-tamination have been a sensitivearea for some years The airlines

do not deny that organophos-phates can be present in the en-gine bleed air that supplies the

cabin but they ndash and aircraft man-ufacturers ndash maintain that this is ata harmless level Abou-Donia ar-gues this was not so in Westgatersquoscase despite the fact that thepilot had never logged an actualldquofume eventrdquo during his career

WATERSHED

Frank Cannon the lawyer actingfor the families of both deceasedsays the Westgate case is a water-shed in this controversy ldquoTheycan try explaining one [case]

away but not another and thenanotherrdquo Cannon says he hasldquoabout 50rdquo cases on his books

BA says ldquoIt would be inappro-priate to commenthellip on the causeof death of an individual Thesafety and security of our custom-ers and crew are of paramount im-portance to British Airways andwill never be compromised

ldquoOur crew are encouraged toreport any possible fume event sothat our engineers can investigateit We would not operate an air-

craft if we believed it posed ahealth or safety risk to our custom-ers or crewrdquo

Taiwanrsquos Civil AeronauticsAdministration (CAA) has

denied reports that air traffic con-trollers at Magong airport rejected

a request from crashed TransAsiaAirways flight GE222 to changethe direction of the turboproprsquoslanding approach

Taiwanese media had claimedthat the pilot of the crashed ATR72-500 requested to land at theairportrsquos runway 02 instead ofthe instructed approach from theopposite direction runway 20

The CAA confirmed that a re-quest to change the direction ofthe approach was made by theTransAsia flightcrew It adds

however that while air trafficcontrollers were checking withthe air force about the request thepilot changed his mind and de-cided to land on runway 20 Hecommunicated this decision tocontrollers prior to making theill-fated landing attempt

Magong airport which han-dles both civil and military activ-ities has a single runway desig-nated 0220 It is 3000m (9800ft)long and runs in a northnorth-easterly direction

ldquoWhile the ATC was still co-ordinating with the military the

latest weather data reported avisibility of 1600m and the twopilots decided to use runway 20for landingrdquo it says

The CAA says that besidesTransAsia an Uni Air aircraft hadalso requested to land on runway02 at about the same time It isnot clear at which exact point ofthe flight did pilots from both air-lines request a change in the di-rection of their approaches

TransAsiarsquos 14-year-old turbo-prop registered B-22810 was op-erating the Kaohsiung-Magongflight when it crashed into build-ings on approach to land killing48 passengers and crew on board

The circumstances of thecrash are still unclear but Ma-gong was battered by typhoonactivity on the day of the acci-dent Heavy rain and poor visibility reportedly led the flightcrew to initiate a go-around afteran aborted initial approach

TransAsia Airways has pledgedto enhance its safety standards ondomestic flights stating that itplans to raise visibility require-ments for take-offs and landings ofits domestic flights to at least 50

above that required by the airportsand regulator

Airbus bullish on A350rsquosAsia-Paci1047297c prospects

Airbus remains confidentabout the prospects for the

A350-1000 in the Asia-Pacificdespite recent high profile winsfor the Boeing 777X in the region

Sophie Pendaries Airbusrsquoshead of product marketing andcustomer affairs stresses that thedevelopmental A350-1000 will be lighter than the 777X whichwill give it superior cost per seateconomics

ldquoWe estimate a cost advantageof 15 per trip against the 777X

and a 5 lower cost per seatrdquoshe says Pendaries was speakingwith Flight International aboardMSN5 the fifth test A350-900during a test flight on the Singa-pore-Hong Kong route ndash one ofthe busiest city pairs in the Asia-Pacific and an important marketfor future A350 operators Singa-pore Airlines and Cathay Pacific

Despite strong success withthe A350-900 the larger -1000has struggled to secure sales sincewinning a landmark order for the

type with Japan Airlines (JAL)

The JAL deal marked a majorinroad for the European airframerin Japan ndash traditionally a strong-hold of Boeing

Pendaries adds that theA350-1000rsquos operating weightwhen empty will be 33t lighterthan the 777-8X owing to thetypersquos composite fuselage ndash the777X will feature an aluminiumfuselage ndash and will be 40t lighterthan the 777-9X

This will reduce navigationcharges lower landing fees and

cut fuel burn In addition to thelower seat cost these factors willalso reduce the cost per trip by15 ldquoEvery time you fly withthe A350-1000 you cut your risk by 15rdquo she says

The International Civil Avia-tion Organisation (ICAO) is

establishing a task force that aimsto examine ways to reinforce thecollection of accurate informa-tion about conflict zones and im-prove their risk assessment dur-ing route planning

The senior-level task force ndashwhich government and industryrepresentatives will be invited tojoin ndash is being set up in the wakeof the loss of Malaysia Airlinesflight MH17 apparently after a

missile strike over UkraineICAO secretary general

Raymond Benjamin speakingduring a briefing in Montreal lastweek said the destruction ofMH17 was ldquounacceptablerdquo andhad raised ldquotroubling concernsrdquoabout operating over regionscaught up in armed conflict

He acknowledges that the mat-ter is ldquohighly complexrdquo and ldquopo-litically sensitiverdquo but says thatICAO has an ldquoimportant role toplayrdquo in ensuring that ldquothe right

information reaches the rightpeople at the right timerdquo

While the pursuit of accurateinformation on which to base op-erational decisions on flight safe-ty is a near-term objective ICAOhas also highlighted a need for better international control overthe design and deployment ofanti-aircraft weapons

International Air TransportAssociation director generalTony Tyler also present at the briefing said the loss of the

Boeing 777-200ER on 17 Julyhad ldquoexposed a gap in the sys-temrdquo Tyler says that crucial deci-sion-making information must beauthoritative accessible and un-equivocal Even informationwhich might be considered sensi-tive can be ldquosanitisedrdquo he saysin a manner which will ensureairlines can act effectively

WEAPONRYTyler adds that MH17 hasdemonstrated that ldquopowerfulanti-aircraft weaponry is in thehands of non-state entitiesrdquo andthat there is little in terms ofinternational conventions toaddress the associated risks Buthe concedes that this is a longer-term issue

MH17 had been operating in asection of open and approved air-space situated above a zone ofclosed airspace

Keeping airspace open for thepassage of commercial trafficmaintains a revenue stream of airnavigation fees but Tyler rejectsthe notion that this creates a con-flict of interest for governments

ldquoIrsquom sure that no country nocivilised person would put a fewdollars ahead of the value ofhuman livesrdquo he says

ICAO expects that the task

force will be able to submit aninitial report within six to eightweeks Its findings will bepresented to the ICAO CouncilThe organisation will also host ahigh-level safety conference inFebruary 2015

Tyler insists that there is no sys-temic failing and stresses a ldquoneedto keep a sense of perspectiverdquo

ldquoWersquove identified a gap Letrsquosclose that gap but not completelyrewrite the rules on how thingsare donerdquo

Meanwhile Ukrainian author-ities were last week trying toestablish a 20km safe zonearound the crash site of MalaysiaAirlines flight MH17 to enableinvestigators to examine theBoeing 777rsquos wreckage

The zone is smaller than the40km combat-free radius thatUkrainian president PetroPoroshenko originally ordered on21 July That declaration hassince been updated to refer to azone 40km in diameter

Ukrainian deputy prime min-ister Vladimir Groisman chairing

the commission investigating theloss of MH17 says the countrywill not lead any military actionwithin the 20km radius

It came after Ukrainian-authorities disclosed that theBoeing 777-200ER had sufferedexplosive depressurisation

The National Security andDefence Council of Ukraine saysthat a specialist committee study-ing the cause of flight MH17rsquos de-struction on 17 July has informedthat it was subjected to ldquomassive

explosive decompressionrdquo

SURVEILLANCE

The Council has not specifiedany trigger ndash hostile act or other-wise ndash for the sudden depressuri-sation Nor has it stated thesource of its information

Investigators in the UK have been analysing information fromthe two flight recorders retrievedfrom the 777rsquos wreckage

The UK Air Accidents Investi-gation Branch says that it has fed

its information to the internation-al investigation team through theDutch Safety Board which isheading the MH17 inquiry

Investigation of the crash is being carried out under ICAOrules says the Dutch SafetyBoard adding that it has sharedinformation only with theinquiry team and not the Ukrain-ian government ldquoWe didnrsquot briefanybody else except the teammembersrdquo it states

Ukrainian investigators also

believe MH17 had been flying anestablished route

The state commission support-ing the inquiry says that analysisof data from automatic depend-ent surveillance (ADS-B) trans-missions and ground radar con-firms that the aircraft wasoperating in Ukrainian airspacewithin an established air trafficservices route

While investigators have yet toconclude that a missile broughtdown MH17 this remains the

most prominent theory at govern-ment levels

MANUFACTURINGDAVID KAMINSKI-MORROW LONDON

Airbus relaxes on A320 conversionsAirframer says further transfers from original variant will be necessary to keep transition to all-Neo production on track

Airbus expects to entertain fur-ther conversions of its A320

family to the re-engined A320neoin order to cope with overbook-ing in the backlog

Although the airframer origi-nally insisted it would not permitswitching of existing A320 ordersto the A320neo it has recently re-laxed this policy for a limitednumber of customers

Airbus Group chief executiveTom Enders explains that themanufacturer has effectively

been forced to allow conversionsin order to keep the transition toall-A320neo production on track

He says that given the over- booking of A320 slots and theshortening interval beforeA320neo transition Airbus ldquocanno longer managerdquo the backlog byldquopushing outrdquo aircraft ldquosomeyears down the roadrdquo

Enders says Airbus does notwant to move A320 orders to2018 and beyond because the air-framer is aiming to achieve full

A320neo production cutover bythis point

HIGHER MARGINS

He adds that as a result conver-sion of A320s is ldquoinevitablerdquoadding ldquoWe knew it was com-ingrdquo However he points out thatconversions to the A320neo re-sult in higher margins for theslots and he expects further simi-lar switches to emerge in the sec-ond half of 2014 and over thecourse of next year

Airbus says the A320neo re-mains on track for first flight inSeptember and entry into servicein the fourth quarter of 2015

Meanwhile the company alsosays the A350 is on schedule forcertification in the third quarterand service entry in the fourtheven as costs for the programmeweighed on the airframerrsquosfirst-half earnings

The commercial aircraft divi-sionrsquos earnings ndash before one-offcosts ndash for the six months to 30

June rose by rose by 45 toeuro129 billion ($18 billion)

Airbus Group says A350 de-velopment remains ldquoon trackrdquo but acknowledges that its first-half financials have shoulderedsupport costs and the effects ofldquofront-loadedrdquo research expensescompared with last year

Revenues for the Airbus divi-sion rose by 7 to euro194 billion

as it delivered 303 aircraft overthe six months

Airbus Group points out thatthis involved a ldquomore favourablemixrdquo of aircraft including 13A380s ndash five more than it man-aged by last yearrsquos interim

The airframer expects full-yeardeliveries to be around the same

level as in 2013 ndash including thefirst A350-900 handover to QatarAirways ndash with this figure ex-ceeded by net orders

Toulouse sure it can remarket Skymarkrsquos cancelled A380s

Airbus has cancelled Japanese car-rier Skymark Airlinesrsquo order for six

A380s saying it has taken the

action ldquoin accordance with its

contractual rightsrdquo

However the airframer is con1047297-

dent it will be able to remarket the

assembled Skymark Airlines A380s

within six months

Skymark had previously disclosed

it was discussing a possible cancel-

lation of the 2011 order with Airbus

saying that increased competition

and weaker local currency had af-

fected the business climate since it

placed the order

A i r b u s

Airbus confident it will find new homes for A380s in six months

However the carrier also ex-pressed concern that it would incur

a penalty if the order was cancelled

The 1047297rst two of the Rolls-Royce

Trent 900-powered aircraft have al-

ready been built with one undergo-

ing test 1047298ights but the airframer has

not 1047297tted the interior to either ndash a

crucial decision which will aid the

remarketing effort

adds Enders pointing out that

Skymark would have been the 1047297rst

market ldquoWe had to act proactively

to limit their and our liabilityrdquo

Airbus Group chief 1047297nancial of-

1047297cer Harald Wilhelm says the

Skymark situation will not impact

the 2015 objective for A380 produc-

tion break-even

Enders insists that the A380 is

ldquonot running out of ordersrdquo and

there is ldquono need to decide on a ma-

Enders insists that a re-engining

programme would require a ldquocon-

American Dreamliner delivery on track

American Airlines is on track to

receive its 1047297rst Boeing 787-8 late in

the fourth quarter as it focuses on

modernising its largely ageing 1047298eet

says chief executive Doug Parker

American will initially 1047298y its

In outlining the plan JeffSmisek chairman president andchief executive of the Chicago-

based Star Alliance carrier in-creases the number of aircraftUnited plans to remove by 30from comments he made in June

United now anticipates havingroughly 231 50-seat regional jets ndashincluding the Bombardier CRJ200and Embraer ERJ-145 ndash in its re-gional fleet at the end of 2015 based on these numbers and itsmost recent fleet plan The carrierplans to remove 47 of the aircraftthis year The airline will replacesome of the small regional jets

with the 76-seat Embraer 175s itfirst introduced in May It plansto have 70 of the type in its re-gional fleet by the end of 2015

Smisek will not say whetherthe additional 30 aircraft would be replaced by other fleet chang-es or allow United to cut addi-

tional capacity from its networkUnitedrsquos overall fleet could

shrink to about 1200 aircraft atthe end of 2015 from 1265 at the beginning of this year with theupdated 50-seat guidance

Congress which will now de-cide whether to authorise thedeal was notified of the DSCArsquosapproval on 23 July

Included within the price arespare parts training and logisti-cal support Weapon systems ndash

notably Hydra rockets andLockheed Martin AGM-114Hellfire missiles ndash are also fea-tured as are electro-optical infra-red laser designators night visiongoggles communications sys-tems and laser missile and radarwarning systems

ldquoThe proposed sale will im-prove Tunisiarsquos capability todeter regional threats andstrengthen its homeland defenceas well as support counter-terror-ism operationsrdquo the DSCA saysdescribing Tunisia as ldquoa friendlycountry in North Africardquo

The rotorcraft will be used for border patrol quick reaction and

In addition on 14 July USsecretary of defense Chuck Hagelsigned documentation alongsideHamad bin Ali al-Attiyah ndash hisequivalent in Qatar ndash for thelatterrsquos potential purchase of upto 24 Boeing AH-64 Apacheattack helicopters

In a scathing report Australianauditors have blamed a series

of procurement errors andldquodevelopment deficienciesrdquo forthe delayed service entry of thenationrsquos fleet of NH IndustriesNH90 multi-role helicopters

Final operational capability(FOC) for the rotorcraft is nownot anticipated before April 2019ndash almost five years late In the

meantime the Australian ArmyAviation Corps has had tocontinue operating its fleet of age-ing Sikorsky S-70A Black Hawks beyond their planned retirementdate And the Royal AustralianNavy has been left with acapability gap following thewithdrawal from service of itsWestland Sea King 50As in 2011

Acquired under three separatephases of the Australian DefenceForcersquos (ADF) Project Air 9000 re-quirement ndash worth a projected

A$4 billion ($38 billion) ndash an ini-tial contract for 12 helicopters wassigned in 2005 with a contractmodification covering an addi-tional 34 completed in 2006

However the Australian Na-tional Audit Office (ANAO)says in its report that defencechiefs initially recommendedthe purchase of 12 new-buildSikorksy S-70M Black Hawksalong with 36 new or remanu-factured S-70Ms for the secondphase

This decision was overruled by the then Liberal-National

coalition government led by John Howard the ANAO saysdespite receiving the support ofmost of the armed forcesrsquo seniorcommanders

Although the NH90 TTHvariant selected ndash known as theMRH90 in Australian service ndashtheoretically also matchedCanberrarsquos needs some nineyears since the contract signing

the 11t rotorcraft is stillunderperforming

ldquoFurther operational tests andevaluations had not validated theability of the MRH90 to satisfyany of the 11 operational capabil-ity milestones set by the armyand navyrdquo the ANAO says blaming the relative immaturityof the programme when deliver-ies began in 2007

CONSEQUENCES

Redesigns have been required for

some elements including bol-stered cabin floors and wind-screens rappelling hooks anddoor gunner positions theANAO adds In addition the pro-vision of common spares has been found to be lacking andsustainment has proven morecostly than originally forecast

ldquoOverall [the defence minis-try] has had to cope with ongoingcommercial and technologicalmanagement issues which are yetto be fully resolved with sus-

tained improvements in MRH90capability and value for money

yet to be demonstratedrdquo it addsThe ANAO report highlights

ldquodevelopment deficiencies andacquisition decisionsrdquo as the pri-mary causes of the difficulties ex-perienced by the programme

Crucial stages of developmentwere not appropriately per-formed leading to ldquoserious andpotentially long-term consequenc-es for capability delivery and ex-

penditurerdquo the ANAO saysWith the acquisition of the

MRH90 the fleet of S-70A BlackHawks operated by the army sincethe 1980s was to have been with-drawn by December 2013 How-ever the retirement did not com-mence until January 2014 and isnow not scheduled to be completeuntil June 2018

FOC for the MRH90 wasoriginally to be declared in July2014 but this is now not expect-ed to be realised until April 2019

The ANAO does highlightsome benefits from the pro-gramme however through thelocalisation of MRH90 assemblyat the Brisbane facility of AirbusHelicoptersrsquo subsidiary Australi-an Aerospace All but three of the28 helicopters delivered to datehave been built at the site

This capability has alsospawned a dedicated compositecomponent manufacturing capability feeding into NHIrsquos globalsupply chain However the re-

REGULATIONS

FAA study couldopen skies towider LSA use

The US Federal Aviation Ad-ministration has requested a

survey of light sport aircraft(LSA) employed for commercialservices in foreign countries

The request is a possible steptowards expanding the sectorrsquosapplications in the USA a decadeafter the regulated category wascreated according to a LSAadvocacy group

The survey will inform FAAdeliberations into allowing LSA

to serve a variety of commercialservices including sightseeingtours pipeline surveillance andcrop spraying says Dan Johnsonpresident and chairman of the board of the Light Aircraft Manu-facturers Association ldquo[Such anapproval] could happen in a yearor twordquo Johnson adds

The LSA category is currentlyrestricted to just two commercialapplications ndash aircraft rentals andflight instruction Expanding thatdefinition would require a rule-making process Johnson saysHowever the average time ittakes to complete a rulemaking isseven to 10 years The FAA couldfast-track such a rule for LSA due

to concerns in another aviationsector ndash unmanned air vehiclesldquoOne motivating factor is dronesrdquo Johnson says ldquoIt all depends onhow motivated [FAA officials] areand drones are giving them near-term motivationrdquo

Astart-up with links to theoriginal Cirrus management

team has launched a sporty newamphibian development project-ed dubbed the ldquoMVPrdquo

Anticipating scrutiny associat-ed with a start-up aircraft manu-facturer MVP Aero officialsemphasise they are taking a freshapproach to the conventionalmodel of developing buildingand marketing a new aircraft

Mike Van Staagen MVP Aerorsquosexecutive vice-president is blunt-

ly honest about the challenge offinding a market for the $189000light sport aircraft (LSA)

ldquoThis is an expensiveairplanerdquo says Van Staagen

designer of the Cirrus Vision jetldquoI canrsquot afford it myselfrdquo

The key to making the pricingmodel work is offering buyersmore value he says In generalaviation value is often defined asa function of utilisation and thecosts of operation So a $150000aircraft flown 100h per year has avalue of $1500 per flight hourVan Staagen says

MVPrsquos objective is to designthe aircraft to increase utilisation by a factor of two or three

perhaps driving the hourly valueof the product to $500 VanStaagen says

The design of the MVP iscertainly different even for an

amphibian The canopy opensand raises aft behind the fuselagerevealing a flat foredeck ahead ofthe instrument panel Both seatsin the cockpit can be removedand installed on a lightweightpedestal on the foredeck creatinga platform not unlike a bassfishing boat

Catwalks extend around thefuselage from the nose to the tailThe hull is designed to manageup to 200kg (440lb) in bodyweight without listing allowing

the pilot and a passenger to be onthe same side of the vessel

The length of the tail boomwas partly based on a require-ment to accommodate a ham-

mock connect from the verticalstabiliser to the pusher engine

MVP Aero also is seeking todefine a new business modelThe company has partnered withexisting manufacturers such asGlasair to produce the aircraftallowing up to six to eight MVPsto be delivered monthly

Other features are moresubtle Van Staagen says hechose fabric to cover the wing tosave weight then shaped thesurface with a constant chord

because it will need more ribsthan a metallic and compositestructure The constant sectiongreatly simplifies the toolingrequired he says

3D PRINTING STEPHEN TRIMBLE FARNBOROUGH

GE believes 3D printing can be used beyond non-critical components

Low-pressure turbine (LPT) blades for aircraft engines

could be the next applicationconquered by additive manufac-turing techniques

GE Aviation has alreadypushed selective laser sintering ndasha form of 3D printing ndash furtherthan anyone else announcing on15 July that a factory in Alabamawill be the first to mass-produce

jet engine parts using an additivemanufacturing process

That factory will build fuelnozzles for the CFM Leap-1which combines a core made byGE and a low-pressure sectionfrom Snecma

GE is now evaluating a differ-ent 3D printing process to buildLPT blades for the GE9X ndash the en-gine selected to power the Boeing777X and the engine makerrsquosmost complex propulsion systemyet ldquoI think that the first applica-

tion for LPT blades would proba- bly make its way on the GE9Xrdquosays Greg Morris additive manu-facturing leader at GE

Morris is credited for GErsquos keeninterest in additive manufactur-ing even as rivals have expressedscepticism about the near-termpotential of 3D printed parts in jetengines He founded an epony-mous start-up in the early 1990swhich happened to be locatednear GE Aviationrsquos headquartersin Cincinnati A relationship

formed between the start-up andthe industrial conglomeratewhich spread from small proto-types to the CFM fuel nozzle

SUITABILITYAnother recent GE acquisition isalso involved in the decision on3D printing for LPT bladeshowever GE closed a deal toacquire Italyrsquos Avio a year agoand the LPT manufacturing spe-cialist has since opened a1900m2 (20000ft2) facility dedi-cated to additive manufacturingof engine parts

Avio is evaluating the suitabil-ity of 3D printing to build LPT blades for the GE9X ldquoWe are

beam welding] is a very efficientway to create these LPT bladesrdquo

Avio is also experimenting ona process to build multiple blades simultaneously with thefinal result on each piecerequiring up to 20 lessmachining to complete

APPLICATIONS

Pratt amp Whitney and Rolls-Royce

currently use 3D printing to build prototypes and non-criti-cal parts such as bracketsHowever both engine makershave predicted it will be decades before additive manufacturingtechniques become a practicalway of building parts for produc-tion aircraft engines

GE however believes thetechnology is mature enough toreliably build thousands of fuelnozzles and perhaps LPT bladeseach year

ldquoWersquore taking it from where itwas as a prototyping industry totruly an additive manufacturingindustryrdquo says GE Aviation chiefexecutive David Joyce

The particular design of theLeap-1 fuel nozzle can only be built using a 3D printer due tointricate channels within thepart Joyce adds If GE decides to build the LPT blade of the GE9Xusing a 3D printer it will be be-cause the titanium aluminidematerial is so hard to machine

into its final shapeMore applications for additive

manufacturing are not far behindas the technology matures ndash butso far only at GE Aviation

ldquoWe could go crazyrdquo Morrissays ldquoI could talk about 50 partsand applications wersquore looking atand get everybody really excitedabout it but wersquore trying to bevery controlled about where wefeel we have our arms wrappedaround it

ldquoWe have years [or] decades

Indiarsquos PMF aircraft will be manufactured inNasik once HAL has completed productionof the air forcersquos Su-30MKIs The cost of ac-quiring 272 examples has been pegged at $9 billion including those aircraft delivered di-rectly by Sukhoi An estimated 200Su-30MKIs are already in squadron servicewith HAL having handed over more than 150aircraft from the licensed production of 222

The remaining aircraft on order will be de-livered by 2018-2019 However to bridge thegap between Su-30MKI assembly and PMFmanufacture an additional MKI order islikely to be placed This is despite engine

trouble that has dogged the fleet and issueswith aircraft serviceability which has alsoproved problematic

Today the air force is in the midst of deepupgrades for a substantial portion of its fighterfleet The $18 billion upgrade of 49 Mirage2000s will see them remain operational until2040 According to Nicolas Korotchanskyvice-president deputy combat aircraft do-main at Thales ldquoDassault and Thales willhelp HAL in the integration work startingfrom the fifth aircraftrdquo with integration workon the first four being performed under the re-sponsibility of the French companies

Indiarsquos first upgraded Mirage 2000 wasflown at Istres air base in October 2013 All 49

aircraft were to receive the upgrades by 2021 but the project is not now expected to be-completed until 2024

In 2012 MBDA bagged a $13 billion con-tract for 493 Mica air-to-air missiles whichare to be delivered between 2015 and 2019 as

part of the Mirage 2000 upgrade To replacelife-expired Matra Super 530D and Magic IImissiles the new weapon has a key advantageover the earlier systems due to its 112kg(246lb) weight This means the upgradedMirage can be configured to carry four radar-and two infrared-guided missiles

ldquoMBDA has been working closely withThales which has been responsible for theintegration work on the first Mirage upgradescarried out at the French air force base inIstres and [is] training HAL engineers inreadiness for carrying out the integrationwork on the remaining Mirage aircraft in

Indiardquo the European guided weaponsmanufacturer says

Also moving ahead is the modernisation ofthe MiG-29 fleet part of a $964 million con-tract signed in 2008 The deal was for the up-grade of 63 MiG-29 interceptors to the UPGmulti-role standard equivalent to theMiG-29SMT However the loss of three in-service examples since the contract wassigned has reduced the programme scope to

60 airframes So far work on four single-seatand two twin-seat MiG-29s has been complet-ed and the aircraft have been redelivered toIndia The remaining 54 examples will bemodified in India Local companies were in-vited to undertake structural retrofit and life

extension work on 33 of the fleet earlier thisyear with the task to be completed withinthree years

A $520 million Jaguar upgrade to the DarinIII (display attack range and inertial naviga-tion) standard has been delayed and will now be completed by 2020 Efforts to re-engine theentire fleet of more than 120 strike aircraftwith Honeywell F125-INs have also been de-layed The US contractor responded to a sin-gle-source request for proposal issued in 2012for 270 engines and a technical evaluation isnow under way

HALrsquos effort to co-develop and produce amultirole transport aircraft (MTA) with Rus-siarsquos United Aircraft Corporation has run into

delays and a programme definition phasethat was to have been completed by Septem-

ber 2013 has still not been declared as com-plete This has delayed contract signature forthe detailed design phase which oncelaunched should be followed by first flightwithin approximately four years As a resultthe debut flight of the MTA is now expectedto take place around 2019-2020

The MTA will be a largely conventional air-craft with minimal use of composites forstructures such as the empennage The choice

of engine for the Indian version has yet to bedecided with two candidates under consid-eration There will be a 6040 workshare split between Russia and India and the total devel-opment cost of $600 million is to be sharedequally between the partners

Indiarsquos MTAs will eventually replace its airforcersquos upgraded Antonov An-32REs in ser-vice A total of 104 of the updated mediumtransports are being completed under a $400million deal placed in 2009 with an addition-al $110 million spent on upgraded Motor SichAI-20 engines Delivery of the last batch offive aircraft to India later this year will com-

plete the upgrade of 40 of the type in UkraineThe remaining 64 aircraft are to receive their

modifications at Kanpur in by 2017-2018HAL has been kept out of the HS 748 re-

placement contract for 56 transports to re-place the obsolete Avro which was producedunder license at Kanpur The selected foreignoriginal equipment manufacturer will deliver16 aircraft and an Indian production agencyfrom the private sector will supply the re-maining 40 under license Indiarsquos bid submis-sion deadline has been extended until 28 Au-

gust with Airbus Defence amp Space and AleniaAermacchi respectively offering their rivalC295 and C-27J tactical transports

IMPROVEMENTS

A contract signature for six Airbus A330 mul-ti-role tanker transports (MRTT) is expectedto happen soon Airbusrsquos defence unit had ex-tended the validity of its bids until June at therequest of the Indian government Once thecontract is signed the air force can expect thedelivery of its first aircraft in three years

All deliveries of the A330 MRTT from theend of 2017 will benefit from structural and

aerodynamic improvements as well as updat-ed computers and displays being introduced

Efforts to re-engine the nationrsquos entire fleet

Ka-226T has said that if its product is selecteddeliveries will commence within 12 monthsof a contract signing with a final assemblyline to be set up in India

Russian Mil Mi-17V5 and Mi-171Vs will

handle the medium lift role as older Mi-8 andMi-17s are retired

Half of the order from a 2012 contract for 59V5s has already been delivered and all 80 ofthe type from an earlier order are operational

With the service having grounded its fleetof three AgustaWestland AW101 helicoptersfollowing a procurement scandal the VVIPtransport role will now be handled usingMi-17V5s

More than 150 Dhruv helicopters have been delivered to the Indian military and par-amilitary forces HAL is now manufacturingMk III utility and Mk IV Rudra weaponised

variants along with examples in the lightcombat helicopter (LCH) and light utility heli-copter (LUH) guises

ldquoLCH is in the advanced stage of certifica-tion the detailed project report for productionis ready and certification activities have beenacceleratedrdquo says Tyagi Basic flight testshave been carried out to evaluate its perfor-mance parameters and sea level trials have been successfully completed ldquoThe detaileddesign activities have been completed forLUH and we are expecting the first LUH to flyout from 2017rdquo he adds

Development of the AWACS platform isscheduled to be completed in seven years butrealistically will take at least a decade

A $300 million effort to design and developan indigenous AEWampC system is running be-hind schedule with the first of three aircraft to be delivered to the air force next year Embraerhas already delivered two EMB-145s to CABSfor this project and flight-testing is under way

STEPHEN TRIMBLE SOROCABA

Brazil is preparing to host LABACE with its business jet fleet growingfast ndash as is the countryrsquos new business aviation hub at a small city airport

COME TOSOROCABA

The countryrsquos rapidly expanding

fleet includes 41 Phenom 300s

E m

b r a e r

Congonhas-Satildeo Paulo airport hasalways been an awkward site to hostthe Latin American BusinessAviation Conference and Exhibition

(LABACE) ndash the largest gathering of its type inthe region

It some ways the growing Brazilian econo-my is to blame Demand from domestic air-lines has transformed Congonhas into a slot-restricted airport

As a result its metropolitan runway rarelywelcomes the scores of business aircraft thatwill be showcased at LABACE from 12-14August Infraero the Brazilian airports au-thority prefers to keep Congonhas focused asa domestic hub for airlines to the exclusion of business jets

The show site itself ndash occupying an asphaltdeck in front of an abandoned maintenancefacility ndash is tucked into a remote corner of the

cramped city airport squeezed between ataxiway and Avenida Washington Luis ndash a

major traffic artery in the south-central area ofsprawling Satildeo Paulo

However LABACErsquos crafty organisersmake the most of this limited footprint

For three working days and festive nightsthe site plays host to more than 16000 attend-ees 160 exhibitors and about 70 aircraft in ajigsaw-like display

RELENTLESS

The numbers in each category grow steadilyevery passing year as both Latin Americanand Brazilian business aircraft fleets continuea steep and seemingly relentless expansionIndeed one major theme at LABACE this yearwill be confirming whether Brazil haseclipsed Mexico as the worldrsquos second-largest base for business jets ndash after the USA

Embraer statistics released earlier this yearshowed a tight race between the two LatinAmerican national giants At the end of thefirst quarter Brazilrsquos fleet came in at 825 pri-

vate jets to 830 in Mexico Mexico remainslargely a secondary market for business air-

craft but the chance to claim the title of LatinAmericarsquos largest business jet operator isprized in Brazil As the domestic fleet growsBrazilian infrastructure for business jet opera-tions is starting to mature away from the busytaxiways of Congonhas

Sprinkled around Satildeo Paulo state is agrowing industry dedicated to supporting the

jet-powered movement of executives andldquohigh net-worth individualsrdquo

Indeed the location that has captured theattention of the domestic business aircraftcommunity this year is not the LABACE siteat Congonhas or even Embraerrsquos Phenom jetfactory in Gaviatildeo Peixoto The highlight of business aviation in Brazil this year is insteadfound in Sorocaba a medium-sized city about110km (68 miles) west of Congonhas

It is here that Brazilrsquos prominence as a pre-mier business jet market is most apparent Inless than a year Sorocabarsquos Bertram Luiz Leup-olz airport has blossomed as the regional and

continental hub for maintenance repair andoverhaul (MRO) for business aircraft



LABACE PREVIEW


The ascension of Sorocaba as part of the re-gionrsquos growth seems sudden but in reality thearea has been rising steadily for decades

To outsiders the heart of Brazilian aero-space lies east of Satildeo Paulo in Satildeo Joseacute dosCampos ndash home of Embraerrsquos commercial and

product development North of Satildeo Paulo Em- braer has opened business and military aircraftfactories in the remote town of Gaviao Peixoto

All along however the single-runway air-port in Sorocaba has played a large role in sup-porting Brazilrsquos vast general aviation fleet Bra-zilian civil aviation authority ANAC listsSorocaba as the 14th-largest airport in Brazil interms of aircraft movements with 77420 in2012 The same statistics also reveal a lack ofpassengers with only 77776 the same year

Since 1962 Bertram Luiz Leupolz hasserved as the home of Conal a full-servicemaintenance provider for private aircraft all

over the region A network of service providershas subsequently evolved around Conalrsquos7700m2 (82900ft2) hangar over several dec-ades ANAC has listed 19 aircraft maintenancecompanies registered in Sorocaba alone

APPETITE

More recently business jet manufacturersthemselves have moved into Sorocaba but ina globally meaningful way For decades Bra-zil had been largely a secondary market in the business aviation landscape where sales ofused jets significantly outpaced deliveries ofnew models As the countryrsquos wealth has

soared in the last decade however so has theappetite for business aviation From 2009 to2012 for example Gulfstream reported its in-stalled fleet in Brazil grew from 14 jets to 34Dassault reported similar growth

Not surprisingly the largest beneficiary ofBrazilrsquos rise in the business jet sector has beenEmbraer The local manufacturer only enteredthe market in 2001 with the Legacy 600 aconversion of the ERJ-145 airliner

The airframer introduced a new family oflight jets with the Phenom 100 in 2008 and the300 in 2009 The jets have sold well in NorthAmerica but their biggest market remains inBrazil As of the end of the first quarter Em- braerrsquos installed base in Brazil now counts 89Phenom 100s 41 Phenom 300s 18 Legacy600s 10 Legacy 650s and three Lineage 1000s

As fleets have climbed into the dozens for

each manufacturer so has interest in the after-market For many years manufacturers werecontent to hand off product support to localpartners in Brazil ndash but no more The Brazil-ian market has evolved a competitive model

that demands establishing a large local pres-ence Dassault arrived in 2009 opening a2140m2 maintenance facility in SorocabaThe facility supports the 50 Falcon businessjets now based in Brazil The unit is a full-ser-vice facility offering airframe inspections

line maintenance and engine maintenanceGulfstream has also been active in Soro-

caba In 2012 it rebranded and upgraded the Jet Aviation Sorocaba facility as GulfstreamBrazil putting the centre on an equal footingwith Gulfstream Luton and Gulfstream Bei-jing Earlier this year Gulfstream moved intoan even larger hangar at Sorocaba airport

MATURING MARKET

Brazilrsquos local aircraft manufacturer has notstood still however In November Embraeropened a 20000m2 facility on the other sideof the Sorocaba runway from Gulfstream and

Dassault Here Embraer will take its next stepas an business jet manufacturer

The Phenom 100 and 300 entered servicefive years ago which means the five-yearinspection interval is now beginning As

Brazilrsquos business aviation industry has ma-tured so has Embraerrsquos capabilities Embraerofficials claim the MRO hangar will be thelargest of its kind in Brazil The facilityincludes shops for component repair as wellas the broad capability to complete mainte-nance inspections

In March Embraer also opened a fixed- based operation within the MRO facility atSorocaba The timing matched the build-up tothe World Cup in Brazil but only barely Inmid-May construction workers were stillpaving a large parking ramp adjacent to theEmbraer hangar ndash originally intended to sup-

port World Cup demandNext door to Embraerrsquos hangar another facil-

ity is under construction In size and design itappears to resemble the Embraer structure butit does not belong to the company

The new tenant of the facility has not beenannounced but there are hints of its identity

Among large-cabin business jet manufac-turers only Bombardier lacks a presence inSorocaba The company has an establishednetwork across Brazil but no dedicated facil-ity on the scale of its rivals in Sorocaba How-ever that omission may be changing As Em- braer opened its fixed base in March press

reports quoted officials speculating that Bom- bardier will be the tenant of the new hangar

The highlight of business

aviation in Brazil is found in

Sorocaba a medium-sized

city west of Congonhas
