SAFETY regulations ,PRIVATE flying ,REGULATORY compliance ,SAFETY standards ,AIRCRAFT accidents - Abstract
The popularity of ultralight planes in non-commercial aviation is on the rise; however, non-compliance with regulations and the use of faulty equipment poses significant risks. This study explores the consequences of such lapses in adherence to safety standards by thoroughly examining the conditions leading to an ultralight plane crash, focusing on data related to causative factors. The accident involved an unregistered ultralight aircraft, lacking proper inspection and the required license. The pilot's error during takeoff led to a stall, resulting in a fatal crash. Upon impact with the ground, the pilot's shoulder and lap belts were torn off, leading to immediate death. This case underscores the critical importance of compliance with safety regulations in ultralight aviation. The findings illuminate the dire consequences of non-compliance with safety regulations and the utilization of unregistered, uninspected ultralight aircraft in private aviation. The tragic accident analyzed herein underscores the pivotal role of adherence to safety standards in mitigating the risks associated with ultralight planes. The pilot's fatal error during takeoff, compounded by the absence of proper inspection and licensing, serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers inherent in neglecting established safety protocols.

This document provides an overview of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) and its efforts to combat wildfires in the state. CAL FIRE is responsible for protecting natural resources and managing the state forest system. They utilize a fleet of aircraft, including OV-10 Broncos and Sikorsky S70i Firehawks, to fight wildfires and coordinate with ground crews. CAL FIRE's aviation program, funded by the state, works closely with the Tactical Air Operations program to provide effective aerial firefighting capabilities. The introduction of the new generation of S70i CAL Firehawk helicopters has significantly improved CAL FIRE's firefighting operations, with enhanced safety features, increased payload capacity, and the ability to operate at night. CAL FIRE also invests in training simulators for its pilots, saving money and reducing maintenance time. The fleet is being upgraded with new Sikorsky S-70i CAL Firehawk helicopters, which can carry nearly three times the amount of fire retardant as the previous helicopters. [Extracted from the article]

Governments will have a key role in establishing the policy environment needed to optimise the social outcomes associated with the evolution of autonomous vehicles (AVs). However, little is known about the extent to which the general public would support the diverse range of policies that could be implemented across human transport and product delivery AV applications. To address this deficit, the aim of the present study was to explore public support for a range of human transport and product delivery AV policies. In total, 1078 adult Australians completed an online survey that assessed transport-related attitudes and behaviours, including support for 11 AV policies pertaining to human transport and product delivery AV applications. Results suggest policies that ensure walking and cycling paths are prioritised for active transport (supported by 65%), limit the numbers of personal flying passenger AVs in the airspace (62%) and delivery bots on streets (64%), and ensure that those with mobility limitations have priority access to autonomous product deliveries (60%) are likely to be acceptable to the general community. To a somewhat lesser extent, limiting the operating hours for AV delivery services (51%) and banning the advertising of unhealthy foods and beverages on the surface areas of delivery AVs (50%) are also likely to be broadly accepted. • Autonomous vehicles will provide driverless transport for humans and products. • Government policy will assist in optimising benefits and minimising disbenefits. • Australians support policies that facilitate active transport and reduce congestion. • Policies that increase costs and ban autonomous alcohol delivery had lower support.

This study is carried out to promote the precise supervision of dangerous goods transportation training, improve the efficiency of civil aviation supervision and further ensure the safety of air transportation. First, from the perspective of behaviour interaction and interest demands, evolutionary game theory is used to construct a tripartite evolutionary game model of dangerous goods transportation training institutions, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and the public. Then, the evolutionary game equilibrium of the system is further analysed under the joint action of the three parties. Finally, the influences of important parameters of the model on the behavioural strategy selection of the three parties are investigated via MATLAB numerical simulation. The conclusions reveal that the system has three evolutionarily stable strategies under different parameters, namely (non-compliant training, supervision, non-participation in supervision), (non-compliant training, supervision, participation in supervision) and (compliant training, supervision, non-participation in supervision). Moreover, the CAAC supervision cost, the fine amount, the supervision cost of public participation, the supervision success rate and the reporting reward amount are the main parameters that affect the behavioural strategy selection of the tripartite game players. The conclusions and suggestions of this study provide a decision-making basis and guidance for the supervision and management of civil aviation dangerous goods transportation training.

Reshoring is a reversal of offshoring decisions and is increasing in business practice. There is limited understanding of how different drivers relate to different reshoring decisions. There has been little examination of purchasing's role in reshoring decision-making. Through 25 case studies of reshoring decisions taken by 18 companies, this research examines the relationship between different drivers and the type of reshoring decision taken, and how purchasing was involved at different stages of the reshoring decision-making process. The findings reveal four types of reshoring; most companies made mono-dimensional reshoring decisions, and three types of mono-dimensional decisions were found. One type of bi-dimensional reshoring initiatives involved changed location and ownership. The most common drivers for reshoring were operational reasons and brand reputation, as reasons for the original offshoring decision had changed over time. Four types of involvement of purchasing in different stages of reshoring decisions were found: no involvement, operational involvement in implementation, early involvement in feasibility studies, and strategic involvement throughout the whole process. Different types of purchasing involvement were found to relate to different types of reshoring with particularly strong involvement in bi-dimensional reshoring decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Understanding nanoscale heat transfer at the head–disk interface (HDI) is necessary for thermal management of hard disk drives (HDDs), especially for heat-assisted magnetic recording and microwave-assisted magnetic recording. To accurately model the head temperature profile in HDDs, it is imperative to employ a spacing-dependent heat transfer coefficient due to the combined effects of pressurized air conduction and wave-based phonon conduction. Moreover, while flying at near-contact, the fly height and heat transfer are affected by adhesion/contact forces in the HDI. In this study, we develop a numerical model to predict the temperature profile and the fly height for a flying slider over a rotating disk. We compare our simulations with touchdown experiments performed with a flying Thermal Fly-Height Control (TFC) slider with a near-surface Embedded Contact Sensor (ECS), which helps us to detect the temperature change. We incorporate the effects of disk temperature rise, adhesion/contact forces, air and phonon conduction heat transfer, and friction heating in our model. As the head approaches the disk with increasing TFC power, enhanced nanoscale heat transfer leads to a drop in the ECS temperature change vs TFC power curve. We find that the exclusion of the disk temperature rise causes the simulation to overestimate the ECS cooling drop. The incorporation of adhesion force results in a steeper ECS cooling drop. The addition of phonon conduction in the model causes a larger ECS cooling drop. The simulation with friction heating predicts a larger ECS temperature slope beyond contact. The simulation with these features agrees with the experiment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This manuscript introduces an exploratory case study of the SIMFAC's (Sistema de Información Meteorológica de la Fuerza Aérea Colombiana) operational implementation of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with a 3DVAR (three-dimensional variational) data assimilation scheme that provides meteorological information for military, public, and private aviation. In particular, it investigates whether the assimilation scheme in SIMFAC's implementation improves the prediction of the variables of interest compared to the implementation without data assimilation (CTRL). Consequently, this study compares SIMFAC'S 3DVAR-WRF operational implementation in Colombia with a CTRL with the same parameterization (without 3DVAR assimilation) against the ground and satellite observations in two operational forecast windows. The simulations are as long as an operational run, and the evaluation is performed using the root mean square error, the mean fractional bias, the percent bias, the correlation factor, and metrics based on contingency tables. It also evaluates the model's results according to the regions of Colombia, accounting for the country's topographical differences. The findings reveal that, in general, the operational forecast (3DVAR) is similar to the CTRL without data assimilation, indicating the need for further improvement of the 3DVAR-WRF implementation.

Aviation Command (AVNCOMD) was formed on 1 July 2022 to lead and manage Army's aviation capability, with responsibility as the Military Air Operator - Accountable Manager (MAO-AM) to enact an integrated Safety Management System (iSMS) for the enterprise. In early 2022 the MAO-AM decided that during the upcoming period of change, 'airworthiness' would be its 'firm foot on the ground', with the iSMS being the capstone safety management tool. Whilst the Australian Defence Force (ADF) Defence Aviation Safety Regulation Safety Management System (DASR.SMS) requirements are aligned with the International Civil Aviation Organisation Annex 19 framework, and there are established SMS approaches for flying operations and aviation maintenance, no explicit guidelines exist for integration of the continued and continuing airworthiness activities within the operational environment. Over 2022, Aviation Command worked successfully to understand how to extend the SMS into continued, continuing and operational airworthiness organisations, leveraging the extant raise, train and sustain management systems. The results of this work are a better system-of-systems view, understandable from a variety of stakeholder perspectives, and scalable across the enterprise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Context/Objective: This article examines the role that an emerging sector of private commercial aviation firms played in the agricultural industry by providing aerial fumigation and cargo services in Chile from the post-WWII to 1973. Methodology: From a perspective centered on the formation and operation of individual firms, and using documentation from the Junta de Aeronáutica Civil (jac), newspapers, and technical bulletins, we analyze the expansion and then the contraction of this sector of private aviation firms and the results and problems of their operation in an initially lucrative and scarcely regulated market. Originality: Unlike most of the literature on the history of commercial aviation in Latin America, which focuses on the study of passenger airlines, this article examines commercial aviation's role in economic development, specifically in the agricultural sector and its contribution to agricultural modernization. Conclusions: Despite initial legal and operational problems, like scarcity of capital and equipment, the companies proliferated rapidly, developed a fumigation capacity well over the demand level, and diversified their cargo activity both in the national territory and towards other countries. Thus, in a period in which agriculture's lower growth and subordination to the industrialization-promoting state policy made it difficult to invest in technological innovations, private aviation firms made a significant contribution to agricultural modernization in Chile. They were the agents that carried out the rapid introduction and diffusion of one of the most important technological innovations worldwide: large-scale aerial fumigation of the principal commercial crops.

Featured Application: Expected applications of the presented solutions—real-time context- and environment-aware user authentication—are ready for use in IoT environments (with low computing power but high sensor availability). The IoT is a specific type of network with its own communication challenges. There are a multitude of low-power devices monitoring the environment. Thus, the need for authentication may be addressed by many available sensors but should be performed on the fly and use the personal characteristics of the device's owner. Thus, a review and a study of the available authentication methods were performed for use in such a context, and as a result, a preliminary algorithm was proposed as a solution. The algorithm utilizes a variety of independent factors, including the user's personal characteristics, knowledge, the context in which the authentication is taking place, and the use of steganography, to authenticate users in the dispersed environment. This algorithm encodes all of these factors into a single data vector, which is then used to verify the user's identity or as a digital signature. Using this personalized context-aware protocol, it is possible to increase the reliability of authentication, given the emphasis on usability in low-computing-power but highly sensor-infused environments and devices. Although more testing is needed to optimize it as an industry solution, personalized protocols seem to have a future in the IoT world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following the aircraft's first successful flight in September 2022, the order books have soared with letters of intent for over 300 aircraft - the equivalent of $3 billion in sales - making the targeted entry into the market in 2027 seem like the future is already here. ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT EVIATION Alice Skeptics have been quick to dismiss battery-powered aircraft with the same gusto that naysayers pooh-poohed EV start-ups like Tesla. Since Flexjet owns the helicopter fleet, it exercises a level of control in scheduling, staffing, and maintenance that no other private-jet firm currently has. Shin's latest dual roles, as president of Hyundai's Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) initiative and CEO of Supernal, its eVTOL division, are even more forward-looking, since they involve establishing a new type of electric aircraft as well as the infrastructure to integrate eVTOLs into the wider world.

AC-type flying capacitor (FC) concept has been proposed for current source converter (CSC) topologies recently, which offers unique merits over the traditional CSCs, such as lower dv/dt with improved dc-link voltage quality as well as flexible common-mode voltage (CMV) control. To cope with the main-stream three-phase industrial applications, in this article, the three-phase flying-capacitor-clamped CSC is introduced and extensively investigated for the first time. A novel space vector modulation is proposed, featuring a modular design process, active FC voltage control, and CMV suppression. The detailed commutation principles and the capacitor clamping voltage influence under different switching states are comprehensively addressed. Then, the redundant switching states are optimized to fulfill the multiple targets simultaneously. Simulation and experimental results are performed to demonstrate the superior dc-link power quality and CMV performance compared with the traditional three-phase CSC topology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: A reliable and safe operation of fuel cells (FCs) is imperative for their application in aviation, especially within the main powertrain. Moreover, performance and lifetime requirements for technical and economic viability are demanding compared to their stationary or road transportation counterparts, while the operating conditions are considered challenging. Prognostics and health management (PHM) could represent a powerful tool for enhancing reliability, durability and performance by detecting, predicting and/or mitigating relevant degradation and failure mechanisms. Against this backdrop, the authors consider it of high relevance to obtain an understanding of the effectiveness of PHM approaches for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) for future aircraft applications, which represents the aim of this paper. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, the authors first discuss application relevant failure modes, review state-of-the-art PHM approaches and, consecutively, assess the potential of FC control strategies for aviation. Aiming for a tangible, comparable metric for this initial assessment, the authors apply a published remaining useful life prediction method to load profiles for a range of aviation-specific applications. Findings: The authors' analysis shows significant potentials for lifetime improvement by (partial) avoidance of high power operation and rapid load change through control strategies. Tapping into these theoretical potentials, however, requires significant developments in the field of PEFC PHM and a focus on aviation specific degradation and performance testing. Originality/value: The novelty of this study lies in creating an understanding of the potential of avoiding or preventing certain degradation modes by means of PHM in the PEFC specifically in aviation applications.

The article discusses the upcoming release of several new aircraft in the private aviation industry. The pandemic has accelerated interest in private aviation, leading to an increase in business-jet deliveries. One notable aircraft is the Gulfstream G700, which has set 44 world speed records and offers a spacious cabin with special lighting to mitigate jet lag. Another aircraft, the Volocopter Volocity, is a battery-powered flying car that is scheduled to fly over Paris during the next summer Olympics. Other aircraft mentioned include the Dassault Falcon 6X, Archer Midnight, Beechcraft Denali, and Cessna Citation Ascend. [Extracted from the article]

Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) is aiming to regain its position as the leader in the business jet market with its new BBJ Select offering. In recent years, BBJ and its competitor Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) have faced increasing competition from other manufacturers such as Gulfstream, Bombardier, and Dassault. To address this, Boeing launched BBJ Select, which offers semi-custom, modular interiors for its 737-7 model. This new approach allows for greater customization options while reducing costs and engineering time. ACJ has also introduced a similar program called ACJ TwoTwenty. The success of these initiatives remains to be seen, but both companies are optimistic about their prospects. [Extracted from the article]
