Send us a Text Message.Welcome to the new ‘Literary Aviatrix Classics' series, where I discuss books written by and about our aviatrix pioneers with my venerable co-hosts, Dr. Jacque Boyd and Captain Jenny Beatty. In this interview, we get to know Jacque and Jenny, and we announce the subject of our first ‘Classics' discussion.  Dr. Jacque Boyd is an educator and a general aviation pilot. She has a B.A. in Education, Psychology, and Special Education. In 1979 she was awarded the Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship from the Ninety-Nines for her M.Ed. in Aerospace Education. She also holds a PhD in Curriculum Development and Supervision. Her dissertation was a study of math and science education.Jacque's writing expertise covers several magazine columns, including the Current Issues and Tools for Schools column for Aviation for Women. She also writes extensively for The Ninety-Nines Magazine with the latest contribution being book reviews. She currently does book reviews for several publications and has experienced the fun of ghostwriting.Jacque is a self-admitted book-a-holic with well over 1000 volumes. The majority of the books are aviation-related and most about women's flight. She also has all her grandfather's education books from when he was a teacher in Kentucky in the late 1800s.  Captain Jenny Beatty is a longtime airline pilot, author, and advocate for women and others underrepresented in aviation.Jenny's interest in aviation's early days stems from being in one of the few families to have three generations of women pilots. Both of her maternal grandparents learned to fly in 1930, and their daughter, Jenny's mother, earned her pilot's license in 1945. Following them into the air in 1981, Jenny became a flight instructor, airline pilot, check airman, and flight operations manager, and is rated to fly the B737, B747, B777, B787, DC-9, seaplanes, and gliders. In this portrait, Jenny is wearing her grandmother's flying jacket. To join the Literary Aviatrix Classics conversation, Jenny draws from her collection of over 350 books and magazines by and about women and other underrepresented pilots all over the world, including rare early first editions. She is a popular writer and public speaker on historical and contemporary pilot career topics. Read Jenny's articles and resources at wwwDid you know you can support your local independent bookshop and me by shopping through my Bookshop.org affiliate links on my website?

There were more than 400 people on board the Boeing 747-400 that unexpectedly rolled into a left bank in Russian airspace over the Bering Sea, forcing pilots to maneuver to keep the airplane from rolling over and diving into the ocean.   The senior captain on that airplane was John Hanson, who helped maintain control of the plane and fly it while also trying to determine what was wrong with the plane and how to make adjustments. Landing in Russia would not be ideal, and the decision was made to change course to Alaska. Hanson, a Northwest Airlines captain, was recently honored for helping to prevent this potentially catastrophic aircraft accident and saving hundreds of lives Oct. 9, 2002. He was presented with the Superior Airmanship Award by the Air Line Pilots Association, International during the association's annual Air Safety Forum.   Although the situation above the Bering Sea that day could have been a scene out of an action-packed movie, the difference with the actual event was that there was no super hero -- there was teamwork, Hanson said. "Teamwork got us through this thing," Hanson said. "I'll take compliments for the landing, but I'm more proud of being a team leader." Hanson has flown for Northwest Airlines for 35 years and during that time has never experienced a situation in the air that has been so dramatic. "That malfunction -- the manufacturer said it could never happen," Hanson said. "We had no procedure to follow." What the crew found out later was that a mechanical malfunction resulting from equipment blowing apart caused the problems. "Experts in structures have since analyzed the parts -- they can't find the cause," Hanson said. "Obviously, it blew apart." There is no suspicion of foul play, Hanson said, but was rather a "freak deal." Working with Hanson during the ordeal was another captain and two co-captains -- the plane had two sets of pilots since the flight from Detroit to Tokyo was so long. Hanson credits his co-captain with a quick recovery "that probably saved the plane." Hanson was reading in his bunk in a private room for the pilots when the malfunction occurred. "We were in smooth air and suddenly there was a violent shift," he said. There were no windows in the room. Hanson quickly put his uniform on to go assess the situation. When he arrived in the cockpit, the pilots were fighting to control the plane, he said. The cockpit operating manual was open and the pilots were desperately trying to find information on the problem.   Hanson and his co-pilot starting going through the manual as well but they could find no information that pertained to what was happening. An emergency situation was declared and the decision was made to head back to Anchorage. Because of their location, communication with the ground was difficult and contact was made through San Francisco to Minneapolis using what Hanson calls the "old fashioned type of radio." A conference call was held to discuss the problem. "We needed to work as a team and put all our heads together," he said. As senior captain, Hanson decided he should be the pilot who landed the plane, and after discussion with the other pilots he took over the controls. The pilots actually had to take turns handling the plane since managing the controls required strength and stamina because of the malfunction. To counteract the highly technical problem, pilots manually applied pressure to a foot pedal. At this point, the pilots were still not sure about the exact nature of the mechanical failure. "I would have given $1,000 for a rear view mirror to have just looked at the tail," Hanson said. A subsequent National Transportation Safety Board investigation revealed that the lower rudder failed in left hard over position at 17 degrees of travel, which was full deflection for their airspeed in cruise flight. It remained fully deflected for the rest of the flight.   The decision was made to fly at a lower altitude where the air is not as thin, Hanson said, and they did not have to operate as "close to the edge." They went down to 28,000 feet but could not go lower because of the mountains.   Early in the crisis it was decided to make the flight attendants part of the team, and information was shared regularly with them. They were told by the pilots that being able to land safely was in question, and once the plane was landed it might not be able to stay on the ground because of the problem. The lead flight attendant received the information about the problem so plans could be made for an emergency landing. Hanson then brought the plane down to 14,000 feet over Cook Inlet, where there was communication with Anchorage about the emergency landing. Hanson said they were low enough for thick air but high enough to recover if necessary. "Since we didn't know the nature of the problem, we wanted to slow down and extend the flaps very gradually," he said. "We all decided on this plan. We picked the inlet over land to have more room for recovery instead of being over the mountains." He and the other pilots had talked extensively about which runway to use based on what was happening with the plane, the wind and other factors. "All the pilots talked about the advantages and disadvantages, he said. During the landing, Hanson said the plane came in just a little bit faster than normal. He told the flight attendants it would be a "firm" landing. The pilots were also nervous the rudder would give bad directions to the plane's nose wheel. "As it turned out, it was a fairly smooth landing," he said. The flight attendants were told people could remain seated -- there was no need to evacuate. Since people on the ground had seen that the wheels and brakes "had been bright red" the plane waited in a remote spot to cool down.   The only awkward moment on the ground was that customs was not prepared to handle 418 people coming in so it took awhile to get everyone off the plane, Hanson said. After leaving the plane, Hanson went to look at the rudder where the problem had occurred. "We looked up at this huge rudder hard over to the left and we just shook our heads -- wow, what an evening," Hanson said. Another 747-400 was sent to Anchorage to transport passengers to Tokyo the next day, and though the pilots were told they did not have to go up again, all of them did. "Every single passenger also got on," Hanson said. The pilots involved with the incident have since made a training video that is being used for crews. It demonstrates that not all emergencies are in the book. Pilots at this level through their years of experience are a valuable source of information, he said, and involving people from the first moment allows them to be able to help. The Hollywood version of this story would have one pilot acting as the hero, but "in real life, heroes are ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances," Hanson said. Hanson has been flying since he was in his teens, and before he had even graduated college he was hired as a commercial pilot. Despite lucrative offers from airlines, he balanced college and eventually graduate work while flying. Hanson turns 56 this month and regulations require he retire when he is 60. When he retires as a commercial pilot, Hanson said he will continue flying as a hobby, particularly antique airplanes. Hanson said a truly successful career involves no "emergency" moments such as he had one year ago. Exciting moments for him, he said, are beautiful sunsets viewed from the plane, and traveling over the Canadian Rockies and Alaskan Wilderness.

Ace Beall entered the Air Force with over 200 hours flying experience, with a goal of becoming an airline pilot. He was commissioned through the "90-day wonder" program, and excelled in Undergraduate Pilot Training. Upon graduation he selected an assignment as a T-38 Instructor Pilot (IP). After that assignment, he flew C-141s at McCord Air Force Base for four years. He had hoped to get an airline job, but instead flew a King Air for an oil company, which promptly went out of business. On a lark, he interviewed with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and was hired as a T-38 pilot. In this role, he trained astronauts in the T-38, and was offered the opportunity to apply to be an astronaut, but chose to remain as a research pilot. As a research pilot, he was flying five different types of airplanes, and eventually became the pilot of the shuttle carrier aircraft, the B747 that carried the space shuttle. He also flew the famous "vomit comet". Ace now flies for NASA as a SOFIA pilot.

Any of Brien Wygle’s achievements would be enough for most of us to dine-out on for the rest of our lives. A World War 2 pilot who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, awarded for acts of valour, courage or devotion to duty whilst flying in active operations against the enemy. A man who flew Hump missions in a vulnerable C-47s and who saw three of his comrades go down in a single day. A pilot who volunteered to fly bombing missions for the fledgling Israeli Air Force, who taught Howard Hughes to fly jet aircraft and who became a notable test pilot and yet was one of the most unassuming people you would want to meet. Much of Brien's love of flying came from magazines and building model aircraft.   As a young man Brien saw a formation of Hurricanes which lit the flame of his desire to become a pilot.   Brien's flying training started in the Tiger Moth.   Brien's first operational type was the Douglas Dakota.     Brien spend much time in the Far East flying dangerous mump missions and supply drops to the Chindits.   Back in Canada, Brien got some rare jet time on the De Havilland Vampire.   Joining Boeing, Brein started work flying the B47. Famously, Brien was the project test pilot for the Boeing 737.   Posing with Lew Wallick after a successful maiden flight of the B737.   Brien was also part of the crew that flew the maiden flight of the B747.   Brien Wygle passed away on the 15th of September 2929.   Images under Creative Commons licence with thanks to Phil Major, MOD, RAF, RCAF, Bill Barnes Magazines, USAF, RAF, Boeing Corporation.

Shreenand Sadhale was working in India when, at age 26, he came across a Singapore Airlines advertisement for their cadet program. Singapore Airlines wold pay for the pilot training and pay the cadets a salary, and there would be a seven year commitment. Shreenand jumped at the chance. He requested the cargo route because he wanted to fly the Boeing 747, and Singapore was already phasing out the B747 in passenger operations. He attended training in both Singapore and in Perth, Australia. His training included flights in the Lear 45. When he started flying at Singapore Airlines, he was assigned to the Boeing 777, and was flying in the right seat on passenger flights with a total of 275 hours! He started with Singapore in 2007, and in 2012 Singapore started a low-cost operation, called Scoot. Shreenand volunteered to transition to Scoot, and was removed from the Singapore seniority list. In the process he became a Captain on the B787 and flew all over the world. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, Scoot went out of business. Shreenand also owns a Stearman aircraft in the United States.

Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career

As we start a new decade, I'd like to share my experiences of the last decade with you. As I've mentioned in episode 300, my employment with Jet Airways in India ended toward the end of 2009. The Indian pilots were fully up to speed, and it was time for us expat pilots to leave. So there I was, 64 years old, unemployed, and no pension. I filed to start drawing Social Security payments and started looking for work. As so many of our podcast guests have advised, networking is the key to finding employment. In my case, I recalled reading an update from a former United pilot in our retiree newsletter. He had mentioned that he had a job performing airline audits, and I contacted him to learn more. He put me in touch with the company he worked for, ARG/US Pros. Toward the end of 2009 I visited them for an interview, and they hired me. https://youtu.be/Xxk3IIdJ7MU In January 2010 I attended Auditor Training, and then went on my first assignment, to Japan, in February. One of the reasons the company sent me to Japan for a month - four audits - was because I mentioned in the interview that I spoke Japanese. Each audit was five days long, and our team of five auditors (plus myself) would look at every area of an airline's operations, and debrief the airline CEO at the end of each day. On the weekends between each audit our team would work on our post-audit report and prepare for the next audit. During the first audit I mostly was observing, although toward the end I performed a lot of the auditing duties. For the last audit, I was "cleared solo" and operated by myself. The audit process is called IOSA - IATA Operational Safety Audit - and during an audit the team uses an IATA (International Air Transport Association) checklist to look at everything an airline does, to determine if the airline conforms to the ISARPs (IATA Standards and Recommended Practices). There are over 1000 ISARPs the team examines. It's hard work. For the next two years, I performed about an audit each month, and eventually became an audit team leader. Since I had studied Russian some 40 years earlier, I led a team to Moscow for a few weeks. By the end of the visit I was able to conduct the debriefs in Russian. Leading the team entailed planning for each audit and writing a detailed audit report at the end of each audit. It was a great experience, but I wanted to get a bit closer to airplanes. In 2012, through networking with some of my former Jet Airways pilots, I heard that Boeing was looking for instructor pilots (IPs), and I applied. I went out to Seattle and interviewed, and was hired to be an IP on the new B787. I started as a contract employee on the anniversary of my United new-hire date, October 16th. I went through the 787 course as a student, took a check ride and received another type rating: B787. Then I went back through the course again as an instructor-trainee. Since the 787 was not yet flying, Boeing didn't have any real airline students, so three of us instructors would practice our teaching on each other. Two of us would play student while the other instructor would go over the planned lesson in the simulator, then we would each trade places. Finally the 787 was cleared to fly and we started getting real airline students. I really enjoyed being back in a cockpit environment, but wasn't crazy about always being away from home. One day, a Boeing check airman told me that Omni Air International was looking for B777 IPs, and they were using the United simulators in Denver for their training. I applied to Omni, had a telephone interview with the Chief Pilot and the Director of Training, and was hired on a contract basis. So now I had two contract jobs: Boeing and Omni. Omni was great with scheduling, giving me work assignments a month in advance. Boeing operated a bit differently. Typically, I would get a call saying I had a work assignment in two more days. Sometimes I could accept the assignment, but often it conflicted with my Omni commitment. After I turned down several assignments, Boeing advised me I was no longer a contract employee. So I was all-in on Omni. Unfortunately, the United Training Center in Denver was getting busy with internal training, so Omni had to look elsewhere for simulators. Eventually, all of the Omni training was conducted at the Delta Airlines training center in Atlanta or in the Boeing training facility in Miami. In 2016, again through networking, I heard that a training company in Tennessee, ARCS Aviation, was looking for a B777 Subject Matter Expert (SME) for some software development. I contacted the owner, and he drove up to Atlanta to meet me when I had finished an Omni simulator period. We hit it off, and I started doing consulting work for ARCS. After a few years, Omni decided to use only their line pilots as simulator instructors, so we parted ways, and I spent all of my time as an SME, first on the B777, then the B787, then the B747. It was a great job that I could do at home, on my computer. Finally, the software programs were complete, and my work for ARCS was over. In 2016 I started the Ready For Takeoff Podcast at the urging of an Omni pilot, Phil Pagoria, and my son Steve. Phil became one of my first guests on the podcast, and will make an appearance again soon! Steve walked me through everything I needed to do to produce a podcast, and has been my go-to person every time I need help. In 2018 I heard from a friend, Nick Hinch (former RFT guest) that Wheels Up was looking for pilots. I hadn't flown in nine years, but had stayed current in simulators, and figured this would be my last chance to be employed as a pilot again. But, of course, my medical certificate had expired. So I made an appointment with my Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). And I did something really stupid. For over 30 years, I had gone to the same AME, and every time on my application I had listed all of my visits to healthcare professionals since my previous visit (6 months earlier). And for some reason, I don't know why, I simply did the same thing. I listed all of my doctor visits since seeing him last. This is important: the form only asks for doctor visits in the last three years. But I foolishly listed all of them, and some from five, six or seven years earlier, were no one else's business, certainly not the FAA's. My AME said he needed to send my information to the FAA, and the FAA Medical Department wanted some tests. Expensive tests, over $10,000 worth of tests. I saw the Wheels Up job disappearing, and asked the FAA if I could change my application from First Class medical to Third Class. No can do. Once you apply for a medical certificate, it must be either Approved or Denied. After many exchanges of letters, mine was Denied. After a Denial, an airman cannot get ANY medical certificate, including the new BasicMed. So, the only solo flying I can legally perform is in a glider, which does not require a medical certificate. One of my first jobs when I had retired from United in 2005 had been teaching at Metropolitan State College of Denver, in their Aviation Department. In 2018 I visited them, now renamed Metropolitan State University of Denver, to see if they needed a classroom instructor. My timing was perfect, and I started teaching Fundamentals of Aviation and Basic Instrument Flight, two days each week, as a contract employee. Eventually, I became a full-time employee with the title of Lecturer, and I still teach courses two days every week. In 2018 I was accepted to the Writers Guild of America Veterans Writing Project, and started working on a screenplay adaptation of my Hamfist novel series. (That's my son Steve sitting next to me in the first picture that comes up on that website). In the next RFT episode I'll visit the year 2019. Have a GREAT 2020!

Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career

Juan Serrato came from an aviation family, and was immersed in flying from an early age. His father was a Vietnam era helicopter pilot, and took him flying often. Juan attended a school as a teenager where aviation was part of the academic curriculum, and earned his Private Pilot certificate. After high school Juan attended A&P school, and then was hired servicing airplanes. He then entered an ab-initio program with Mesa Airlines, barely making the cutoff because he had 148 hours and the limit was 150 hours. While attending the program, he worked as a mechanic on aircraft. He became a first officer on the Beech 1900 with Mesa as a US Air Express copilot. He flew as many as 13 legs per day. He flew the 1900 for a little over a year, then became a first officer in the RJ (regional jet). He flew the RJ for two years, then became an EMB 145 captain, flying his first trip on September 11, 2001. He was inflight when all aircraft were ordered to land immediately due to the national emergency. He landed at Raleigh, NC. He was stuck there for three days, until his girlfriend drove down to pick him up. At Mesa, he became an accident investigator, on scene for a fatal accident investigation for the powerplant division. He also became a simulator instructor and line check airman. After nine years at Mesa, he was hired by Gemini Air Cargo on the MD-11, flying all over the world. After about a year, the airline went out of business, and Juan was hired by Southern Air on the B747 as a first officer, flying freighters. He flew a lot of trips out of Ethiopia on a 20-on, 10-off schedule. After two years, he was furloughed as a pilot, but worked in their headquarters on documentation. After five years with Southern, he was hired by Atlas Air, flying several versions of the 747, including the LCF (large cargo freighter). He was at Atlas for four years, then was hired by a legacy carrier, where he works now as a flight instructor on the B737.

Einen Luftfahrtgeburtstag der es in sich hat - Happy Birthday, Airbus! (und hier gratuliert ein Boeing-Fan!)Lange ist es her, dass aus Europa Firmen kommen, die in irgendeiner Form marktbeherrschend ein Segment besetzen. Am wenigsten hätte man das bei der offiziellen Gründung von Airbus 29.05.1969 gedacht: das Zweckbündnis zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich und den zuvor abgesprungenen Briten stand irgendwie nicht unter einem guten Stern. Auch die erste Idee, die Namensgeber für die Firma wurde, musste wegen nicht zu bewältigenden Umbaumaßnahmen an den Flughäfen begraben werden: Airbus als ein Bus, in dem quasi im Vorbeifahren ein- und ausgestiegen werden kann. Verrückt, oder? Happy Birthday Airbus! 50 Jahre - und auf dem Weg, Boeing zu überholen! Da kann man schon mal eine A380 zur Feier umlackieren und fliegen lassen! / Bild-Quelle: airbus.com 50 Jahre! Respekt! Und Glückwunsch, Airbus! Und auch, danke Concorde! Klar, die Pläne von Frankreich und Deutschland waren nicht schlecht. Ein Gegengewicht zum Marktführer zu schaffen, der natürlich aus dem Land kam, in dem das Fliegen erfunden wurde, also den USA. Und da dies nicht alleine zu schultern war, da Boeing im Gründungsjahr schon fast ein halbes Jahrhundert Vorsprung hatte, mussten eben Partner gesucht werden - um gegen ein eigentlich deutsches Unternehmen in den USA anzutreten. An sich ging es schon 1965 los - allerdings nur auf deutschem Boden, als alles, was in der Fliegerei Rang und Namen hatte, sich zur "Arbeitsgemeinschaft Airbus" zusammenschloss. Boeing und McDonnell Douglas hießen die Gegner. Allerdings war die damalige Vision, einen echten Air-Bus zu schaffen, der gleichzeitiges Ein- UND Aussteigen realisieren sollte, eine teure Schnapsidee, die sich nicht verwirklichen lies. Die anderen Ansätze, niedrige Flugpreise und schnelle Betankung sind zumindest zur Hälfte heutzutage Wahrheit geworden. Aber dann sprangen die Briten bei der "Aérospatiale" ab, die für die Concorde die Zellkonstruktion planen und bauen sollte - und nun ging die Suche nach einem Partner los. Also steckten Frankreich und Deutschland die Köpfe zusammen und besiegelten, europäisch Staats-tragend, die Gründung von "Airbus" - am 29.05.1969. Nur zur Erinnerung: Die Geburtsstunde von Boeing schlug bereits am 15.07.1916! Nun hieß es für die Europäer aber erst mal, die Russen abzuhängen. Deren Konkurrenzmodell zur Concorde, die Tupolew TU-144, war - auch hier streiten die Protagonisten und Fanclubs der Luftfahrtgeschichte heftig! - der europäischen Concorde überlegen - erlitt aber bei der offiziellen Vorstellung bei einer Flugschau einen spektakulären Crash und war damit aus dem Rennen. Und das, wo die Tupolew einen Flug VOR der Concorde hatte und damit als Gewinner fest stand. Airbus benannte Toulouse, was bis heute fortdauert, als Firmensitz. Das Credo war seit jeher, dass Können zählt mehr als die Staatsbürgerschaft, die bei jedem im Pass steht. Und so fanden auch die Spanier noch den Weg zu Airbus - und die Entwicklung des ersten Modells, des A300, konnte beginnen. Gleich ein großes Brett, da diese Maschine im "kleinsten" Fall Mittel- und im besten Fall Langstrecke bieten sollte. Die Presse selber lies kein gutes Haar an Airbus und der A300: Provinz-Jet war damals eine beliebte Beleidigung. Und jeder Journalist, der gegen die A300 wetterte, sollte Recht behalten - der wahlweise 250 oder 300 Sitzplätze bietende Flieger wollte am Markt keinen Käufer finden. Bis das Telefon klingelte und gerade American Airlines der Erstkunde von Airbus und dem einzigen Modell A300 wurde! Was für eine Klatsche! Eine US-Airline, die bei Airbus in Europa Flugzeuge orderte! Man muss es allerdings neidlos aussprechen: Airbus hat viele Innovationen in die Luftfahrt gebracht, die Boeing etliche Jahrzehnte der Umsetzung gekostet haben: Erstgenannt sei hier die "fly-by-wire"-Technik, die Stahlseile und Rollen in den Rümpfen und quer durch den Flieger, vom Steuerknüppel des Piloten bis zum jeweiligen Flügelelement, überflüssig machten... da dies nun per Kabel als elektrischer Impuls durch die Zelle geschickt wurde. Oder auch das aktuelle Problem von Boeing: die Airbus Flight Envelope Protection: ein Rechner, der zwischen Boden und Flug unterscheidet und somit die maximalen Ausschläge der Steuerelemente verwaltet. Vorbei die Zeiten, wo ein Überziehen katastrophale Folgen nach sich zog - der Rechner drücke entgegen dem Steuerknüppel die Nase einfach nach unten, bis Fahrt aufgenommen wurde und setzte dann den Steigflug automatisch innerhalb der Parameter fort. Airbus hat also früh heutige Standards gesetzt - wurde aber für diese Techniken oder den frühen Übergang von Aluminium und Nieten zu "Plastik" und "Kleben" auch hart kritisiert. An EADS erinnert sich heute wohl kaum noch jemand - auch diese kurze Umstrukturierung hat Airbus nur wie Phoenix aus der Asche steigen lassen. Und was ist aus Airbus geworden! Auch wenn sie ihn mangels Nachfrage, im Jahr 2021 einstellen, sie haben sich gegen Boeing gestemmt und mit der A380 aus meiner Sicht den hässlichsten aber auch einen neuen doppelstöckigen Giganten an den Himmel gezaubert - der für Boeing und Erstkunde Lufthansa für die schnell modernisierte B747-8 das aus dieser Königin der Lüfte bedeutete. Auch Piloten-seitig hat Airbus viele Trümpfe in der Hand: vielleicht nicht unbedingt Steigraten und Agilität, die doch zusehr von der Envelope Protection gehütet werden - aber wer in eine A318 oder A380 steigt, kann in der Theorie sofort los fliegen: das Cockpit-Design ist auf minimale Umschulung, wenn überhaupt, ausgelegt! Ganz anders hier bei Boeing: teilweise wurde in der 737-Reihe schon zwischen einer -400 und dem Nachfolger, der -500, soweit im Design eingegriffen, dass ein neues "Type Rating" für das neue Modell erworben werden musste. Und Airbus arbeitet Meilenstein für Meilenstein ab: Kurz nachdem wir alle "Y2K" und damit den Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends überwunden hatten, sammelte Airbus erstmals mehr Bestellungen ein als Boeing. Und im Jahr 2018 hätten sieben Maschinen mehr in der Auslieferung Boeing erstmals auf Platz 2 verdrängt... nun gut, dank dem 737-Max-Debakel, schnell abgewürgten Qualitätsproblemen und den wohl locker bis Jahresende andauernden Flugverboten, disponieren erste Airlines um - da werden Bestellungen bei Boeing storniert und bei Airbus, der mit der Übernahme der Bombardier CSeries 1000 als A220 ein weiteres Zugpferd im Portfolio hat, neu platziert. Auch hat Airbus, da sie kein "Erbe" wie Boeing mit der 737-Linie mitschleppen müssen, aktuell mit der A320neo und der neuen A330neo die Nase vorn. Während Boeing die 737-Max erst neu gestalten musste, um die größeren Triebwerke, die nun vorne und nicht mehr unter den Flügeln "aufgehängt" sind, unterzubringen, konnte Airbus bei dem jüngeren und durchgehend digital geplanten A320 mit ein paar Mausklicks die neo realisieren. Auch wird wohl demnächst, wenn auch erst mal als Versuchsballon, die neue A321neo auf "direkten" Routen wie Paris-New York über den Atlantik fliegen. Dem hat Boeing aktuell nichts entgegen zu setzen, das Grounding bremst hier die komplette 737-Linie aus. Neben der Tatsache, dass Airbus ein gelungenes Europäisches Gemeinschaftsunternehmen aus Großbritannien, Frankreich, Spanien und Deutschland geworden ist nun bereits seit Jahrzehnten ein ernst zu nehmender Player auf dem Markt ist, ist Airbus gerade für Deutschland ein wichtiger Arbeitgeber: das weltweit zweitgrößte Werk, nicht zuletzt ob der öffentlichen Genehmigung zur umstrittenen Runway-Verlängerung für die A380, steht in Hamburg - Finkenwerder, um genau zu sein. Über 13.000 Mitarbeiter schrauben (oder kleben?) hier täglich an diversen Modellen, zum Beispiel der Kabinenausstattung oder Rumpfteilen für die A380. Vor lauter Feierlaune könnte man jetzt ganz die Skandale vergessen: zum Beispiel die aus dem Ruder gelaufenen Fertigungskosten bei der A380 oder dem Beta-Modell der A400M oder aktuelle Korruptionsermittlungen innerhalb Europas. Aber, ich wage mal eine Prognose: das wird den zivilen Flugzeugen von Airbus nicht schaden - die sind, auch dank dem Durchhänger von Boeing, aktuell ein Verkaufsschlager! Und mit Sicherheit sollte man Innovationen künftig erst mal von Airbus erwarten. Boeing ist, auch auf Grund des doppelten Alters, nun ein wenig träge und altersmüde geworden - eine Lücke, die Jungspund Airbus sicherlich gerne zu füllen vermag - Boeing-Fan zu sein fällt aktuell nicht leicht, ich gebe es offen und ehrlich zu! Happy Birthday Airbus - auf die nächsten mindestens 50 Jahre! Und: weiter so! Meinen PodCast abonnieren: | direkt | iTunes | Spotify | Google |

Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career

There have been numerous air carrier accidents in which the crew attempted takeoff without the leading and trailing edge flaps extended to the takeoff position. Unlike many general aviation airplanes, large turbojet aircraft require high-lift devices (leading and trailing edge flaps and slats) for the airplane to safely get airborne. In some of these accidents, the Takeoff Warning System (TOWS) was intentionally disabled, preventing the crew from receiving a warning of incorrect airplane configuration. Here are notable accidents resulting in 746 fatalities: 1974 Lufthansa flight 540, B747, 59 fatalities 1987 Northwest 255, MD 82, 150 fatalities 1988 Delta 1411, B727-200, 14 fatalities 1999 LAPA Flight 3142, B737-200, 65 fatalities 2005 Mandala Airlines 91, B737-200, 144 fatalities 2008 Spanair 5022 - MD 82, 154 fatalities In every case, if the flight crews had performed their normal pre-takeoff checks, the accidents would have been averted. It is essential that all crew members actually confirm every item on the appropriate checklist. As an additional mnemonic, many pilots will perform a FEATS check before every takeoff: Flaps, EPRs, Airspeed bugs, Trim, Speed brake.

We speak with Bill English from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) about that agency's investigations of unmanned aircraft accidents. Bill talks about the scope of their involvement, the data available to investigators, and the similarities to manned aircraft. We also talk about the FAA NPRM and the role of the NTSB when FAA enforcement penalties are appealed. Guest Bill English is an Investigator-in-Charge in the Major Investigations Division of the Office of Aviation Safety.  He has been with the NTSB since 1999 as an investigator on major air carrier events such as Asiana Boeing 777 in San Francisco and the B747 cargo fire in Dubai. Bill is also the NTSB's resource for unmanned aircraft investigations. He has built and flown his own small multi-rotor system, and trained on numerous platforms up to the MQ-9.  He was also responsible for developing the NTSB's civil unmanned aircraft accident regulations, investigations manual, and training programs. In addition to his NTSB responsibilities, Bill is a certified instrument flight instructor and commercial pilot in single and multi-engine airplanes; has flown aerial observation, corporate, and electronics test aircraft; and has extensive experience in flight inspection and advanced navigation technology.  He holds degrees in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle University, in Geospatial Intelligence from Penn State, and also graduated from the USAF Mishap Investigation Course. The National Transportation Safety Board is an independent Federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident the United States and significant accidents in other modes of transportation – railroad, highway, marine and pipeline. The NTSB determines the probable cause of the accidents and issues safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. In addition, the NTSB carries out special studies concerning transportation safety and coordinates the resources of the Federal Government and other organizations to provide assistance to victims and their family members impacted by major transportation disasters. Mentioned Aviation Gateway Park Brings Innovation, Education and UAVs AirVenture The latest innovations, unmanned drone demonstrations, and a world of possibilities for young aviation enthusiasts are part of the new Aviation Gateway Park that makes its debut at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015. One of the highlights of Aviation Gateway Park will be a new “Drone Cage,” where unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will be demonstrated each day during AirVenture. Manufacturer demos, educational presentations, obstacle course contests, and free flight can be viewed from all sides of the cage, including from bleachers inside the Park's Innovations Center.
