Nav Canada and NATS Planning Closer Separation in North Atlantic

Aviation Daily is reporting that Nav Canada and the U.K.'s National Air Traffic Services (NATS) will work with airlines to trial significantly closer separation standards over the North Atlantic within two years.

Nav Canada CEO John Crichton told the Daily that he believes current separation standards could be reduced by up to one-half using technology that is already present in about half the aircraft flying those routes.

Controllers in Canada will use Nav Canada's Gander Automated Air Traffic System (GAATS), and NATS's controllers will use SAATS – its version of the same system, acquired from Nav Canada, which should be operational sometime this fall.

GAATS automatically integrates data from a variety of sources onto a single situational display to give a controller a situational picture similar to what a radar controller has.  It also has a conflict probe to view projected routes and their timelines to help in planning, granting clearance requests, and of course avoiding separation-standard anomalies.  When aircraft are capable of sending ADS (automatic dependent surveillance) position reports and communicating by long-distance CPDLC (controller-pilot datalink communications), GAATS uses these more efficient information sources to improve its capability even further.

According to Sid Koslow, Nav Canada's chief technology officer, GAATS along with ADS and CPDLC, could allow longitudinal separation to be halved from 10 minutes to five, and/or tracks could be moved closer together, thus allowing more of them.

While acknowledging that ADS-B (automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast) can eventually reduce separation even further, possibly to radar-separation standards, Mr. Koslow believes that in the meantime, significant operational improvements can be made by taking full advantage of current capabilities.

Some aircraft flying across the North Atlantic don't have the necessary equipment, so preference procedures will probably be necessary.  But if more properly equipped aircraft are able to use the best tracks, it would also improve capacity on peripheral tracks for aircraft not equipped for reduced separation, Mr. Koslow said.  IATA has told Nav Canada that it approves of giving an advantage to equipped aircraft in this manner.  03-20-2006.  (Top)

Three Business Jet Service Centers to Distribute ARINC Direct's Satcom

Landmark Aviation, Duncan Aviation and Jet Aviation Palm Beach will distribute ARINC Direct's SKYLink satellite broadband communications system.

SKYLink's Ku-band coverage is already available across North America, and service for Europe, the Middle East, and on North Atlantic flight tracks is anticipated later this year.  Its business applications include high-speed Internet access, e-mail, VPNs (virtual private networks) and corporate Intranet access.  New VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) telephony and a fully-managed FoIP (fax over IP) service have just been announced.  03-24-2006.  (Top)

ICG Completes Tests of Iridium-Based ACARS

The International Communications Group (ICG) has completed testing of its new Iridium-based ACARS (aircraft communication addressing and reporting system), and has delivered initial production equipment.

According to Armin Jabs, ICG's president, the system enables a simple, plug-and-play replacement of older Aero-C satellite communication equipment which is nearing obsolescence. "Our equipment works with existing, already-installed avionics, thereby eliminating the need for additional third-party equipment and special translation devices or software," Mr. Jabs said.

ARINC worked with ICG on the project.  Its business aviation services unit, ARINC Direct now offers an integrated Iridium datalink service, which allows its business aviation customers to have access to its flight support services from virtually any location in the world.  Mr. Jabs said ICG has launched a commercial operation via ARINC Direct's flight operations center in Annapolis.

Later this year, ARINC will extend its Iridium services to commercial aviation via its GLOBALink service.

ICG says its system complies with ARINC 741 standards for interfacing with the datalink management unit (DMU), as well as ARINC 618 and 620 specifications for ACARS messaging.  Customers can use either its ICS-100 single-channel or ICS-200 dual-channel voice/data Iridium terminals to access the service.  03-24-2006.  (Top)

Dual-Channel Iridium Satcom Terminal Certified

The International Communications Group (ICG) says its dual-channel satellite communication terminal has been certified to operate on the Iridium network.

The Group's ICS-200 terminal incorporates dual-Iridium transceivers with an internal, stand-alone CTU (cabin telecommunications unit) that can operate over a single coax cable and Iridium antenna.  Or it can be connected to conventional telephony devices or legacy CTU systems through standard two-wire tip-and-ring circuits or four-wire audio connections.

The dual-channel terminal provides worldwide air-to-ground voice and data links through the Iridium satellite network, while the CTU provides easy-to-use intercom calling, call transfer, conferencing and follow-on dialing.  03-24-2006.  (Top)

Go Helitrans Will Use Blue Sky Network for Communications and Tracking

Texas-based Go Helitrans will use Blue Sky Network's (BSN) satellite tracking and communications service for its fleet of 20 Bell Jet Rangers and Long Rangers.

Go Helitrans' helicopters are equipped with BSN's D1000C terminal and ACH1000 advanced control head that gives the company a complete tracking, messaging, and voice system.

The D1000C allows position reporting from an embedded GPS that connects with BSN's SkyRouter network.  Among its features is the ability to:

• Specify a different GPS reporting interval for periods when the aircraft in not moving (e.g. at a gate).

• Change to a longer reporting interval when the aircraft is established at a cruising altitude.

• Receive an alert when an aircraft descends through a MEA (minimum en route altitude), as when approaching a destination.

• Receive alerts when an aircraft accelerates through take-off speed, or decelerates through landing speed.

In addition to giving its own operations personnel communications and tracking capability, Go Helitrans will be able to offer its own customers the ability to track their contracted helicopters from any Internet-connected computer using BSN's interactive Web portal.  03-24-2006.  (Top)

FAA Certifies Gulfstream GIV and GV SP Models for Broadband Data

Gulfstream Aerospace says the FAA has certified its ultra-high-speed Broad Band Multi-Link (BBML) data system for retrofit installation on its IV and IV-SP as well as its in-service G400s and G300s.

The new multiple STC (supplemental type certificate) comes with a VoIP (voice-over Internet protocol) enhancement, which, Gulfstream says, is more economical than traditional in-cabin voice systems, and provides significantly clearer sound quality.

Gulfstream holds three similar STCs for installing BBML on G450/350, G550/G500 and GV business jets; however, these earlier STCs do not include VoIP capability.  The company expects to receive follow-on amendments to the G450/G350, G550/G500 and GV STCs in the third quarter of this year, bringing VoIP capability to these models as well.

The BBML system employs the dedicated satellite bandwidth of ARINC Direct's SKYLink broadband satellite service.  03-20-2006.  (Top)

Qantas Gets New RNP Approach at Sydney in 22 Days

Qantas Airways received operational approval for a new RNP (required navigation performance) approach to Runway 16R at Sydney's Kingsford Smith in 22 days.

Seattle-based Naverus designed and developed the procedure and worked with Qantas, Jeppesen and Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to ensure normal operations on 16R during a period of scheduled maintenance of the runway's ILS.  After learning of the planned outage on February 14, Naverus was able to deliver the RNP approach, coded for the airline's flight management system, and ready for flight test, in 14 days.  CASA expedited the flight check and gave Qantas its approval to commence operations on March 8.

Naverus sees this accomplishment as a demonstration of how quickly RNP RNAV (area navigation) and other performance-based navigation procedures can be implemented, once all stakeholders have the processes in place.

Qantas, CASA and Naverus have apparently been able to do just that.  In 2005, CASA approved a Qantas RNP procedure at Queenstown, New Zealand.  And in January of this year, CASA granted Naverus a Procedure Design Certificate, establishing a process that supports rapid design and implementation.

Naverus says its has developed and deployed over 250 RNP RNAV procedures for both Boeing and Airbus aircraft flown by airlines that, besides Qantas, include Air China, Air New Zealand, JetBlue and WestJet.  03-22-2006.  (Top)

FAA Looking For WAAS Avionics Development Partners

The FAA is looking for private sector partners to help develop avionics for satellite navigation systems that incorporate WAAS (wide area augmentation system) for LPV (localizer precision with vertical guidance) approaches.

In a RFI (request for information) released earlier this month, the FAA says it has in mind partnerships with GPS receiver manufacturers, flight management system vendors, aircraft manufacturers and airlines.

While the FAA is not specifying the exact qualifications of potential partners, it will require expertise in GPS sensors and FMS (flight management systems) currently installed in aircraft operated under Part 121/135 or 91 as a minimum requirement.

To facilitate the process, the agency is considering using a rarely invoked procurement alternative to its standard acquisition regulations, called an "other transaction authority" or OTA that was created by Congress to permit agencies to negotiate agreements for research or prototype-building projects with nontraditional vendors.  Under the authority, contractors' intellectual property rights are fully protected.

One of the main advantages of an OTA is that small companies that are often overshadowed by large concerns when bidding on such projects can get the opportunity to work directly with the agency, rather than as a subcontractor to a bigger firm.

According to the RFI, the FAA will disburse partial payments when the company reaches given milestones.

NavAero says it is collaborating with Eclipse Aviation to create a diagnostic storage unit for the Eclipse 500 VLJ (very light jet) that will collect and store inflight performance and maintenance data that could be trended and analyzed for a variety of purposes.

The Chicago-based company may be best known in the aviation industry for developing and commercializing EFB (electronic flight bag) products.  03-20-2006.  (Top)

FAA Extends Fuel Tank NPRM Comment Deadline

The FAA has extended the comment period on its NPRM (notice of proposed rulemaking) to incorporate technology to reduce flammability exposure in transport aircraft fuel tanks from March 23 to May 8.

The notice, published last November with an original deadline of March 23, would cover both new and in-production transport-category airplanes with a payload capacity of 7,500 pounds or more, as well as some 3,200 in-service Airbus and Boeing airplanes with center fuel tanks.

The NPRM deals with steps that, in combination with other required actions, are meant to greatly reduce the chance of a catastrophic fuel-tank explosion.  A number of parties requested the extension to allow comments relating to new information that has recently been placed in the public docket.  03-23-2006.  (Top)

Australia Considering Mandatory TAWS for More Aircraft

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau wants Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to review the possibility of requiring TAWS (terrain awareness warning systems) for smaller turbine-powered aircraft and helicopters registered in that country.

Specifically, the Bureau wants CASA to review the possibility of requiring TAWS on Australian registered turbine-powered aircraft that weigh less than 5,700 kilograms to reduce the potential for CFIT (controlled flight into terrain) accidents, and suggests that it compare Australia's regulations against such international standards as ICAO Annex 6 and regulations such as FAR 91.223.

The Bureau also wants CASA to consider requiring TAWS for Australian registered turbine-powered helicopters in light of the National Transportation Safety Board's recent recommendation for TAWS on U.S. turbine-powered helicopters that have six or more passenger seats.  03-22-2006.  (Top)

Lufthansa Cityline Orders More Cockpit Door Surveillance Systems

Lufthansa Cityline has ordered thirteen more cockpit door surveillance system (CDSS) kits from Global ePoint's AirWorks Aviation Division.  Beginning this June, Cityline will receive deliveries of an additional 12 new CRJ 900's, which will be outfitted with the video-camera-based system.  03-24-2006.  (Top)

Boeing Completes Autonomous Flight Control Program for UAVs

Boeing and a team of university scientists have completed a multi-year research program to develop and demonstrate flight control technologies to enhance the autonomous operations of UAVs (advanced unmanned aerial vehicles).

The more capable UAV flight-control technologies were developed under the Software Enabled Control (SEC) program sponsored by DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) with technical direction from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).

During flight demonstrations, the SEC software assumed control of a DARPA Renegade rotorcraft UAV and successfully executed a series of advanced maneuvers, including flying optimal routes, flying low-level, terrain-hugging profiles, and determining safe landing zones by using vision-based algorithms to process landing site imagery and terrain-height information.  Flight envelop protection was also demonstrated.

The software, which is based on Boeing OCP (open control platform) architecture, was developed by Boeing Phantom Works and teams from the University of California-Berkeley, Georgia Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

While these demonstrations were aimed at military applications, one can speculate about the possibility of future civil uses that demand similar capabilities.  03-24-2006.  (Top)

Luggage Forward Launching New Mobile Tracking System

Luggage Forward, a service company that provides door-to-door luggage delivery to more than 200 countries, is introducing a new mobile tracking system that allows its clients to monitor the status of their shipments with any Web-enabled handheld device.

Luggage Forward uses a proprietary automated routing control system that allows travelers to make a reservation for their luggage and cumbersome items such as sports equipment, choose a class of service, specify pick up times, and buy customized insurance for each parcel.

Clients only need to pack their bags normally and attach "forwarding tickets," which Luggage Forward sends in either paper or electronic format.  A Luggage Forward agent comes to one's home, business, or hotel at a scheduled time to collect the bags, which can be left with a doorman, hotel staff or in a place at one's home that is safe and accessible.  Luggage Forward delivers the bags to the clients destination, and guarantees that they will arrive on time.  03-23-2006.  (Top)

SITA Says Mishandled Bags Cost Airlines $2.5 Billion Annually

SITA says the air transport industry may be losing as much as $2.5 billion annually because of the somewhere-around-30-million bags that are mishandled, miss their connections, or are stolen each year.

In a just released annual review of the situation, SITA reports the problem is worsening due to airport congestion, tight turnaround times, increased interlining, today's security procedures, and mounting passenger and baggage volumes, which complicate handling procedures and introduce delays.

Francesco Violante, the managing director of SITA INC (information, networking, computing), said the $2.5 billion cost is mainly made up of the costs involved in reuniting bags with the estimated two billion passengers that suffer this inconvenience each year.

Part of the solution, according to SITA, will come from technology.  "The industry needs more sophisticated baggage reconciliations systems and greater use of self-service such as check-in through kiosks and on the Web."  Mr. Violante said.

SITA, of course, provides a number of these tools.  For example, its BagManager system keeps constant track of baggage and passenger movements, reconciles passengers and bags before departures, and automatically redirects bags that miss their connection onto alternative flights.  And its BagMessage system communicates between airline DFCs (departure control systems) and automated baggage systems to help ensure bags go to their correct destination.  In addition, SITA, along with IATA, developed WorldTracer, an industry-standard, fully automated system for tracing lost and mishandled baggage.

The company also has developed an integrated, end-to-end baggage reconciliation system which combines RFID (radio frequency identification), a WLAN (wireless local area network) and highly redundant IP (Internet protocol)-based global links.  03-22-2006.  (Top)

Air Mauritius selected Rockwell Collins' WXR-2100 MultiScan weather radar and GLU-920 multi-mode receiver for the three firm and two optional A340s it has on order for deliveries beginning in October.  The airline also chose the Collins ADF-900 automatic direction finder, DME-900 distance measuring equipment, HFS-900 high frequency system, CPL-920D coupling unit, GNA-910 Global navigation antenna and the VOR-900 VHF omnidirectional radio for the same A340s.  03-24-2006.

Dublin-based Santos Dumont Aircraft Management ordered 10 ship-sets of Aviation Partners B-737-300 Blended Winglets.  03-24-2006.

TAROM Romanian Airlines selected Rockwell Collins to provide eight avionics elements on its new A318s that will begin arriving this November, including Collins' WXR-2100 MultiScan weather radar, the ADF-900 automatic direction finder, DME-900 distance measuring equipment, HFS-900D high frequency system, CPL-920D coupling unit, VHF-2100 very high frequency transceiver, the GLU920 multi mode receiver, the VOR900 VOR/marker receiver, and VHF datalink.  In addition, the airline selected Rockwell Collins' PAVES (programmable audio video entertainment system) and the Airshow 4200 moving map information system.  03-24-2006.  (Top)

U.S. Air Transport Association unit revenue data, based on information from seven major carriers, including their regional affiliates, showed RASM (revenue per available seat mile) increasing 17.3% from the same month last year.  Mainline systemwide unit revenues increased 14.9% in February 2005, compared to February 2004.  Mainline domestic unit revenue increased 18.7% as yield improved 12.2% and load factor increased 4.3 points to 78%.  03-24-2006.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) expects airlines globally to lose U.S. $2.2 billion in 2006, but to post profits of $7.2 billion in 2007.  This quarterly revision is a significant improvement on the previous forecast of a $4.3 billion loss in 2006 and a profit of $6.2 billion in 2007.

North American carriers will cut their losses from $10.8 billion in 2005 to $ 5.4 billion in 2006, largely because of a 3% reduction in domestic capacity (November 2005-January 2006) that is giving U.S. airlines increased pricing power in domestic markets.  Significant capacity was re-deployed to international markets resulting in an 8.4% increase in international operations by U.S. carriers during 2005.

Asia-Pacific's carriers will continue to post the largest absolute profits in the industry at U.S. $2 billion.  This is down from the $2.9 billion posted in 2005.

European carriers will follow a similar pattern with profitability reducing from U.S. $1.8 billion in 2005 to $1.4 billion in 2006.  03-24-2006.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported that U.S. civil aviation accidents increased from 1,717 in 2004 to 1,779 in 2005.  However, total fatalities decreased from 636 to 600, and most of these occurred in general aviation and air taxi operations.

The accident rate per 100,000 flight hour in 2005 was 0.171, up from 0.125 in 2004.  The 2005 fatal accident rate per 100,000 flight hour was 0.016, an increase from 2004's 0.005 rate.  Last year's fatal rate per 100,000 departures was 0.027, up from 0.009 in 2004.

U.S. scheduled airlines had 32 accidents in 2005, three of which were fatal, resulting in 22 deaths.  This compares to 2004 when scheduled carriers operating under 14 CFR 121 (commercial transport aircraft with 10 or more seats) experienced 23 accidents, one of which was fatal, resulting in 13 deaths.

Nonscheduled airlines experienced seven accidents in 2005, none of which was fatal.  In 2004, those airlines also suffered seven accidents, one of which was fatal with one killed.

Air taxi operations reported 66 accidents in 2005, the same number as reported in 2004.  The accident rate for this category showed a slight decrease from 2.04 per 100,000 flight hours in 2004 to 2.02 in 2005, with fatalities dropping markedly from 64 in 2004 to 18 in 2005.

General aviation accidents increased from 1,617 in 2004 to 1,669 in 2005.  Of these, 321 were fatal accidents, up from 314 in 2004.  The general aviation accident rate increased from 6.49 per 100,000 flight hours in 2004 to 6.83 in 2005.  The fatal accident rate increased from 1.26 to 1.31.  The number of fatalities rose slightly from 558 to 562.
