Godt Nytt År til mine lesere

Andøya Airshow juni, 2017 - Foto av undertegnede

Året som straks ligger bak oss har vist retningen mot en utvikling som er særdeles interessant; nemlig mot hybride- og elfly. Godt over 100 selskaper vil nå produsere såkalte UAM`er, altså Urban Aerial Mobility. Flere er selvflygende, altså autonome maskiner som du kan bestille via en app. Altså som for en taxi. I alle fall dersom Uber får det som de vil. Sertifiseringen av slike fly har som utgangspunkt både hos FAA og EASA, at de skal være like sikre fra dag èn som kommersiell flyging er i dag, en utvikling som har pågått siden 1903. Sertifiserende myndigheter vil her få en kjempeutfordring.

MAX skandalen ser ikke ut til å berøre Boeing økonomisk i særlig grad, skal en tro aksjekursen. Hele greia er en tragedie. Det er helt forferdelig å tenke på alt som har sviktet i denne saken. Det er lett å forstå at begrepet MAX fjernes fra alt som heter rutetabeller og betegnelser forøvrig. Personlig er jeg av den oppfatning at flytypen, eller 737 varianten om en vil, vil bli et like sikkert fly som andre utgaver av 737 som vi kjenner. Sertifiserende myndigheter har fått seg en på trynet og vil opptre med forsiktighet i saken. Dette vil komme passasjerene til gode.

Utenrikspolitisk er verden i et salig rot; særdeles uoversiktlig og farlig. Det var mye mer oversiktlig med Warszawapakten og NATO. Det er naturligvis et paradoks at USA`s Commander In Chief, muligens, er den største løse kanonen på dekk. Da jeg i internasjonale medier har uttrykt dette, får jeg tilbake utskjelling og skyllebøtter fra Over There. Det er merkelig å overvære at en stor nasjon nå har blitt en slags 3. rangs statist i en verden hvor Kina har overtatt styringen. Jeg håper og tror at Trumps generaler og admiraler har vettet i behold slik at dette ikke går helt over styr.

Med en smule uro ønsker jeg deg et fredelig Godt Nytt År!

Den 1. juli 2018 ble Fagernes lufthavn i Valdres stengt. Samferdselsdepartementet ba da Avinor sørge for nødvendig vedlikehold frem til flyplassen ble solgt og overtatt av nye eiere. Nå forbereder den statlige flyplasseieren Avinor salg av lufthavnen i Fagernes.

– Vi venter fremdeles på å få en takst. Den får vi på nyåret. Da blir det klart å legge flyplassen ut for salg i markedet, sier kommunikasjonssjef Gurli Høeg Ulverud i Avinor.

China To Inject $223 Million in Small, Medium-sized Airports

The Civil Aviation Administration of China has committed $223 million to subsidize the operation of 175 small to medium-sized airports next year as part of Beijing’s effort to encourage connectivity in its western and northeast regions. An estimated 75 to 80 percent of the country’s airports lose money every year due to a paucity of traffic.

According to CAA official Lu Bian, the airports generally fail to make a profit due to their remote locations and a limited number of flights. “Another factor could be because of the provincial government’s decision to build an airport just to reflect its city’s status irrespective of whether it would be [financially] feasible,” Lu said.

As part of the plan to improve links with the western and other remote regions in the country, the government plans to build another 200 airports between 2020 and 2035. Lu noted that much of the construction will take place in obscure cities and districts. An estimated 115 airports will fall into the small to medium-sized category.

China this year expects its airports to handle a total of 1.35 billion passengers, amounting to an increase of 10.7 percent over the previous year.

Kazakhstan havariet - Alvorlig anklage mot Bek Air - Curt Lewis

Bek Air tried to cancel IOSA certificate requirement using lobbyists - Vice PM


AKIPRESS.COM - Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Roman Sklyar said Bek Air using lobbyists of different levels tried to cancel IATA Operational Safety Audit certificate to operate international flights, Tengrinews.kz reports.

"All our air carriers who operate international transportation obtained IOSA certificate. It was necessary to obtain such certificate for domestic flights as well. However, in 2016 there was a powerful campaign in media. Some journalists and MPs supported it. Probably, they were right. There is no need to meet additional requirements for domestic routes. When the Civil Aviation Committee said IOSA certificate should be obtained for domestic routes, it was a kind of unnecessary measure. But we realize well there is nothing extra in aviation safety. Yet, the Committee for Natural Monopoly Regulation then said it is violation of rules of entrepreneurs and this requirement was canceled for domestic flights," Sklyar said following the government meeting.

"Bek Air tried to cancel IOSA certificate using lobbyists of different levels for all these years so that they would be able to operate international flights. But the Ministry of Industry disagreed despite all pressure," the Deputy Prime Minister added.

On December 27, the Bek Air plane en route from Almaty to Nur-Sultan lost altitude shortly after take-off and hit into a wall and 2-storey building near the runway.

The operation of the Bek Air was suspended after the plane crash.

MAX-betegnelsen vil neppe bli brukt i særlig grad når flyet kommer på vingene igjen - Curt Lewis

Norwegian vil ikke benytte MAX når du ser hvilken B737 variant du skal fly med på billetten din. Personlig er jeg sikker på at MAX, når den er sertifisert av FAA og EASA, vil bli et like sikkert fly som de andre variantene av typen. (Red.)

Rename Boeing's 737 MAX? Airlines Already Aren't Using 'MAX' Prominently

A 737 MAX was seen last week with the identification markings on its nose saying only "737-8" with no mention of "MAX," prompting brief speculation if Boeing, having fired CEO Dennis Muilenburg, would next catch up with public opinion by doing away with the MAX name associated with two crashes that killed 346 people, prompted the jet's worldwide grounding, and set off a corporate crisis for Boeing.

Even President Trump has weighed in on the MAX name: "If I were Boeing, I would FIX the Boeing 737 MAX, add some additional great features, & REBRAND the plane with a new name," he Tweeted in April. Boeing's then-CFO and now interim CEO Greg Smith said in June Boeing did not have plans to rename the MAX but was open-minded.

Yet the recent speculation was unfounded. The aircraft in question was from Xiamen Airlines, which has not applied "MAX" markings since taking delivery of its inaugural MAX in May 2018, a half year before the first MAX crash.

Of the 54 airlines that have 737 MAXs identifiably painted, only 11 airlines consistently write "MAX" on the aircraft's nose, likely the most obvious physical indicator to passengers if their 737 is a MAX. A further 26 airlines put "MAX" only at the aircraft's rear while 13 airlines have no markings mentioning the aircraft type at all. Three airlines say 737-8 without mentioning MAX, while Ryanair has inconsistent practices.

There is no standard for how to mark aircraft. US airlines sometimes indicate "MAX" on the nose landing gear door along with other identification information, but they do not have prominent "MAX" markings on the forward or rear fuselage. This includes Southwest, which with 310 MAX orders is the second-largest airline customer after Lion Air. The third-largest customer, flydubai from the United Arab Emirates, also does not have any markings. Air Canada writes "Boeing 737 MAX 8" on the rear while compatriot WestJet writes only "737-8". All took delivery of their first MAX before the initial crash.

In the case of Xiamen, while it says "737-8" on the nose, its majority owner China Southern Airlines uses no markings on the nose, instead writing near the tail "Boeing 737-8" without mentioning "MAX". The first MAX to Panama's Copa Airlines has a large "MAX 9" on the rear of the aircraft.



Boeing 737 MAX 8
Like most operators, Shanghai Airlines does not feature the aircraft type on the forward part of the aircraft

Boeing does not show signs of changing the MAX name. When it rolled out the -10 variant in late November, "MAX" was still adorned on the nose. Boeing extensively used the MAX name in a presentation this month to airlines about how to re-build confidence in the aircraft type, as first reported by the New York Times.

One presentation slide writes "the MAX" over a dozen times with only one citation of "737 MAX," which was in reference to a new Boeing website, 737MAXupdates.com.

For those looking if airlines will drop the "MAX" name, there is the curious case of Ryanair, whose MAX 8 200 variants have been seen with "737 MAX," "737-8200," as well as no markings.

So with most airlines never having "MAX" in a clearly visible part of the aircraft to begin with, does the name matter? There are arguments the name could be visible elsewhere, like the safety card. Southwest Airlines inadvertently confused some passengers early in the MAX's grounding because Southwest's safety card for its 737-800s also mentioned it was applicable to the MAX since the two variants share features.

The MAX name could also be visible in the booking process. While Southwest and United Airlines plan to make aircraft type clear to passengers during the booking process, will customers of Ryanair, Europe's largest MAX customer, know their aircraft type in advance? "The answer is that you won't," CEO Michael O'Leary told Flightglobal. "We do our aircraft allocations on a nightly basis. You're booking your ticket six, eight weeks in advance."

Besides being told during booking or by aircraft livery if the 737 is a MAX, there are physical differences, such as the MAX's engine cowlings having chevrons, unlike earlier 737s. But such differences could be harder for the general public to distinguish.

O'Leary expects passenger confidence in the MAX to quickly return once the aircraft is flying. He draws a comparison to the 2013 grounding of the 787 due to battery problems, although they were non-fatal. "While they replaced the batteries, there was concern about customer sentiment. Customers got over it about a week after the plane was back flying," he said.

Boeing changing the "MAX" name could backfire since a rebranding would draw more attention to the MAX's history and imply Boeing needs the public to forget the MAX's history. Instead, Boeing's return to service plan appears focused on instilling confidence by communicating what it has changed on the MAX since the two crashes.

"I feel a very large commitment to the flying public to ensure that we prevent accidents like this from ever happening again," Boeing chief pilot Craig Bomben said in a video testimonial. "We're going to figure out how to make not only our products but the industry safer going forward."

Norwegian-piloter overhørte instruktioner fra kontroltårn

 Af: Jan Aagaard i Hændelser 27. december 2019  Print

Flyveleder gav Norwegian-piloter instruktion om go-around under landing i Helsinki, men piloterne landede alligevel, fastslår endelig havarirapport.

Piloterne på et Norwegian-fly fulgte ikke flyvelederens instruktion om at lave en go-around (en ny landingsrunde, red.) og landede derfor uden tilladelse i Helsinki-Vantaa-lufthavnen på en flyvning fra Krakow til Helsinki. Det konkluderer den endelige rapport fra den finske havarikommission om hændelsen, som fandt sted 18. januar 2019.

Rapporten siger ikke direkte, hvorfor Norwegian-piloterne på Boeing 737 MAX 8-flyet ikke fulgte flyvelederens instruktion over radioen den dag.

Rapporten fortæller imidlertid, at instruktionen om at lave en go-around først blev først givet, da flyet havde overskredet tærsklen til landingsbanen. Derfor blev flyvelederens meddelelse over radioen til piloterne forstyrret af de samtidige automatiske meddelelser i cockpittet om flyets højde under landingen – altså højttalermeddelelser om henholdsvis 50, 40 og 30 fods højde. Meddelelsen om at foretage en go-around blev ifølge rapporten givet af flyvelederen en enkelt gang i et normalt toneleje.

Turkish Airlines-fly havde sænket farten
Årsagen til, at flyvelederen gav instruktionen om go-around, var, at et Boeing 737-900 fra Turkish Airlines, som kort forinden var landet på samme bane, havde sænket farten betydeligt på vej ind på en taxivej og måske kunne være på vej til at stoppe helt på taxivejen. Der var tale om en såkaldt high-speed-taxivej, hvor flyene normalt forlader banen med høj hastighed for at gøre plads til næstkommende fly.

Piloten på det tyrkiske fly har forklaret, at det ville have været uforsvarligt at forlade landingsbanen ved højere hastighed i forhold til de forhold, som var rapporteret for taxivejen. På det tidspunkt, hvor hændelsen fandt sted, var det mørkt i lufthavnen og vejret var klart. Banen var ryddet for sne, mens der var 20 centimeter høje snedriver på begge sider af det ryddede område, fortæller havarirapporten.

Piloterne forventede ikke go-around
Piloterne på Norwegian-flyet havde ifølge rapporten observeret, at Turkish Airlines-flyet havde forladt banen og allerede var inde på taxivejen. Norwegian-piloterne var derfor koncentreret om at lande flyet, og de forventede ikke en go-around-instruktion, da en sådan instruktion sjældent gives, når flyet først har overskredet tærsklen til landingsbanen.

Endvidere gav hverken den forudgående kommunikation med flyvelederen eller piloternes egne observationer af forholdene på banen dem nogen grund til at forvente en go-around-instruktion, hedder det i havarirapporten.

Rapporten konkluderer endvidere, at flyet landede normalt og forlod banen ad den samme taxivej som Turkish Airlines-flyet. Der var på intet tidspunkt fare for, at de to fly ville kollidere, da alle sikkerhedsmarginer blev overholdt ifølge de gældende procedurer. Men piloterne begik en fejl ved ikke af følge flyvelederens instruktioner.

Syv Qatar-Dreamlinere blev sendt retur til USA

 Af: Ole Kirchert Christensen i Flådenyt 29. december 2019  Print

Qatar Airways har i løbet af to dage modtaget syv nye Boeing 787-9 Dreamlinere, der alle er blevet fløjet fra Everett til Doha og derfra tilbage over Atlanten til Victorville.

Der har været travlhed på Boeing Everett Delivery Center i juledagene. Den 26. december blev fire helt nye 787-9 Dreamlinere sendt afsted mod Doha med blot en halv times mellemrum.

Dagen efter skete det samme, men her var der blot tre fly i luftkortegen mod Qatars hovedstadslufthavn. Det var de første syv fly i en ordre på 30 af denne type, der blev leveret til Qatar Airways, der i forvejen har 30 eksemplarer af den lidt mindre 787-8. Flyene med registreringsnumrene A7-BHA/B/C/D/E/F/G blev tilsyneladende fulgt af mange luftfartsinteresserede på de 13 timer og 40 minutter lange leveringsflyvninger.

Men knapt var Dreamliner-flyene landet i Doha, før de atter måtte flyves tomme over Atlanten. Denne gang var destinationen Victorville Airport i det sydøstlige Californien – en tidligere militærbase, der rent formelt hedder Southern California Logistics Airport. Her modtages civile fly, fragtfly og militærfly, og der er også en stor flykirkegård samt faciliteter til langtidsopbevaring af fly, der af en eller anden årsag er taget ud af drift.

Det er blandt andet i denne lufthavn, at Southwest Airlines har opmagasineret sine 35 Boeing 737 MAX-fly, der snart har været groundet i 10 måneder.

Mange spekulationer
Der foreligger ingen konkrete oplysninger om, hvorfor disse syv fly skulle leveres inden den 31. december for herefter umiddelbart at returnere fra Qatar til USA.

Årsagen til, at flyene skal tilbage til USA er dog, at de mangler at få installeret de såkaldte Qsuiter, som man kender fra Boeing 777 og Airbus A350, men flykroppen på Dreamliner-flyene er lidt smallere, hvorfor de skal tilpasses, og det er der tilsyneladende ventetid på. Derfor må flyene opmagasineres i Victorville Airport, indtil disse er klar.

Derimod er der mange spekulationer om, hvorfor det var nødvendigt fysisk at flyve fra Everett til Doha og tilbage til Victorville. Samlet har de syv fly tilbagelagt op imod 200.000 kilometer i luften på denne manøvre, og det er bestemt ikke noget, som får klimaaktivisterne til at klappe i hænderne.

Tilsyneladende har det været nødvendigt at lade flyene sætte hjulene på Qatar-jord, hvilket givetvis kan hænge sammen med lovgivningsmæssige, økonomiske eller skattemæssige forhold i forbindelse med finansiering af flyene.

Det er hverken lykkedes CHECK-IN.dk eller internationale luftfartsmedier at få en kommentar fra Qatar Airways til de spektakulære flymanøvrer i juledagene
