Recent Achievements A View from Our President

I am both humbled and honored to have been elected chairman of the Board of Governors of the Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF), an organization dedicated to raising the bar of safety in the air charter business. The Washington, D.C.-based organization was originally the brainchild of NATA’s (National Air Transportation Association) past president, Jim Coyne, and is ably led by ACSF President Bryan Burns, a longtime industry professional. Our membership includes some of the biggest and best names in the industry, coming from not only charter operators but also from fractionals, corporates, consultants, other industry groups, and even ex-FAA members. The foundation has moved quickly since its inception, setting up a stringent industry audit standard (IAS) so that operators do not have to go through multiple audits to satisfy different audiences. It is developing an Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) for Part 135 charter operators, starting here in cooperation with the FAA’s Great Lakes Region. The ACSF is working hand in hand with the FAA on developing Safety Management Systems (SMS) for charter operators. It staffs a toll-free hotline to report suspected illegal charter activities. Its annual safety symposium, held at the NTSB’s (National Transportation Safety Board) training center, has had some of the best presentations I have ever attended. The air charter industry has established an incredibly impressive safety record, one that is the envy of all other forms of transportation as well as many other industries. But we know that being impressive is not good enough, getting really good doesn’t automatically mean staying really good, and one accident anywhere in our industry is one too many. I’m really proud of the way our teammates at Wisconsin Aviation are embracing these safety initiatives, and I’m certainly proud to be associated with the Air Charter Safety Foundation as we all pursue safety excellence in bringing you the finest transportation ever devised by mankind. Thanks for helping us make it happen!

In Pursuit of Safety Excellence

Jeff Baum New Chair of ACSF

Jeff Baum, president and CEO of Wisconsin Aviation, has been selected as the new chairman of the Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) effective July 1, 2013. Baum succeeds Dennis Keith, president of Jet Solutions, LLC, whose term expired June 30, 2013. Mr. Baum is a founding member of the ACSF and has served on the ACSF Executive Committee and Board of Governors since the foundation’s inception.

The ACSF, founded in 2007, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation established to improve the safety of air charter and fractional aircraft ownership operations. The vision of the ACSF is to enable on-demand charter providers and fractional program managers to achieve the highest levels of safety in the aviation industry. This goal will be achieved through: (1) Promotion of risk management programs, (2) Adoption of one common industry audit standard, (3) Dissemination of safety information, and (4) Creation of additional programs that advance the goals of the foundation.

Wisconsin Aviation Makes Employing Veterans a Priority

The American Legion Department of Wisconsin has recognized Rich Ruth, Wisconsin Aviation’s Director of Human Resources, with an award to recognize his outstanding achievement in the employment of veterans. Ruth recently received the award at the American Legion’s 95th Annual Department Convention at the Olympia Resort in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. Ruth’s record Continued next page

Safety Matters The Base to Final Challenge

Most pilots enjoy pattern work. Takeoffs and landings focus on a specific set of procedures and skills that end with an important task: Landing! The repetition can be a good way to reinforce newly learned skills, and it’s nice to be able to fly when the weather is VFR but the ceiling isn’t high enough for a cross-country trip.

However, takeoffs and landings can become, well, repetitive—so keep the learning curve from becoming a plateau; make it a point to challenge yourself when conditions allow. This will build confidence beyond the basic skills, allow you to deal with various pattern conditions and, most importantly, prepare you for unexpected events such as an engine failure.

Before we get more creative with pattern work, here are some basic tips for pilots initially learning the pattern or getting a refresher:

• One method for normal landing approaches is to target 3 speeds for the abeam-base-final legs so you can be as consistent as possible. For example, a Cessna 152 uses 80 knots – 70 – 60 for these legs, starting with 1500-1700 rpm of power and adding 10 degrees of flaps each leg. It’s the perfect setup as 80 knots is Vfe (the top of the white arc). And once on final with full flaps, this airplane likes to settle to 60 knots with little or no interfering on your part. Although these speed targets vary by aircraft, pilot technique, and landing conditions, the key here is that YOU are in charge of your airspeed, not the airplane.

• The Airplane Flying Handbook has a slightly different take, noting that on the base leg, airspeed should be 1.4 Vso (power-off stall speed with gear and flaps down). Your POH should list this speed or something close to it; or you can look up Vso in the POH and do the math.

• Keep the base and final turns consistent each time around the pattern, using medium-bank turns of about 30 degrees. Use landmarks to determine when to start the turn and stay within gliding distance of the runway. Even if traffic or other factors require you to alter your pattern, plan ahead and adjust power as needed, but only as much as needed.

• Don’t fixate on any instrument. Make quick checks but keep looking outside. If your instructor hasn’t already done so, practice with airspeed indicator and altimeter covered up to simulate instrument failures.

Some pilots learned to land with idle power for base and final. While most pilots these days (not sure why) learn to use partial power for landing approaches followed by idle power on final, the power-off approach is a great way to practice the base-to-final legs. It teaches you to judge your altitude and distance from the landing point and is a good way to transition into emergency engine-out simulations. To expand on that, try these maneuvers:

• Practice power-off approaches with different cross-wind conditions, flap settings, and landing spots. Fly a rectangular pattern as usual, or fly a U-turn from downwind to final. This mimics the commercial training maneuver called the 180-degree accuracy landing. One favorite variation is the “power-off, no flaps, no slips, on the spot” landing drill.

• Fly different pattern altitudes, with partial or idle power settings, so you are comfortable judging height and distance from various altitudes above the ground—800, 600 feet, or whatever is safe and within your comfort zone. Make each trip around the pattern a spot-landing contest.

Keep in mind that whether you practice dual or solo, it’s practice—so never hesitate to go around at any stage or change what you are doing to keep it safe. Personal minimums/maximums for you and your instructor always apply.Flying the base-to-final variations are fun and challenging, and you will find yourself wanting to do another takeoff and landing, then another…you get the idea.

For single-pilot instrument operations in light aircraft, there’s only one flight control system that borrows technology from helicopters and high-end business jets—the KFC 225 Autopilot/Flight Director. It has a reputation for flying your plane smoothly and accurately. The integrated, all-digital system combines the functions and features of three separate avionics units—an autopilot computer, altitude pre-select/alerter, and optional yaw damper—into a single compact, lightweight unit. The KFC 225’s simplicity of design and ease-of-use greatly reduce your workload in an unprecedented way. The unit’s advanced algorithms provide the superior performance of an altitude-based flight control system and will work with many of today’s glass primary flight displays. The unit’s GPS roll-steering algorithms are so advanced that it anticipates a course change while tracking a multi-leg flight plan from a GPS. It also starts turns before crossing the waypoint, keeping the bank angles shallow, just like you would.

STCs (Supplemental Type Certificates) have been issued for installation of the KFC 225 in the following aircraft: • Beech Baron: 58, C-55/A, D-55/A, E-55/A • Beech Bonanza 36 • Cessna Chancellor 414A

Wisconsin Aviation Makes Employing Veterans a Priority Continued from p. 1

indicates that he makes hiring veterans a top priority. Over the past two and a half years, Ruth has hired over 21 veterans for various jobs at Wisconsin Aviation’s three locations in Madison, Watertown, and Juneau. As a result of his efforts, the company currently employs a total of 38 veterans, comprising 30% of its workforce. Ruth has made a concerted effort to seek out veterans from the pool of qualified candidates for positions such as line technicians, aircraft mechanics, and pilots.

This commitment to the military starts at the top of the organization and is made possible by the support of Wisconsin Aviation CEO and President Jeff Baum. In addition, Ruth’s efforts have been

augmented by the company’s hiring managers who share in his commitment to veterans, who have proven to be some of the best job candidates. Ruth has found that veterans possess the qualities the company considers to be the most important traits for employees: dedication, a strong work ethic, reliability, resilience, loyalty, and discipline. Ruth comments, “We find that the veterans truly support our core mission and values that focus on excellence.” With the veterans’ understanding of the need for a culture of safety and their strong background in leadership, they provide essential skills that serve as a foundation for success as a team. Ruth says, “Not only is hiring qualified veterans the right thing to do, it also makes good business sense. It is a win-win for all.”

2 Summer 2013

There is something nostalgic about the old wood and fabric aircraft with singing guy wires and open cockpits. Sometimes it seemed that there was no cockpit at all, just a chair and a seatbelt. Those were the days. Those aircraft are a stark contrast to the sleek, metal aircraft of today with shiny metal skins and wings that seem to support themselves. The transition is still going on with the development of composite aircraft like the Cirrus and the stunning Boeing Dreamliner with its 150-layer composite fuselage. This steady development of the airframe has come about because of engineers—engineers who sat on the ground and dreamed about how airplanes could go higher, faster, and carry bigger loads.

But how long did that first big step take to move from wood and fabric to metal, from drag-inducing guy wires to the cantilevered wing? And who were the engineering pioneers who took that first big step? The first metal fuselage was the innovation of Romanian engineer Auriel Vlaicu. Vlaicu left the Opal automotive plant where he was employed and followed his dream of improving the performance of the airplane. The result was the Vlaicu I which featured an all-metal nacelle-like fuselage which enclosed the radial engine, the controls, and the pilot. It was a parasol-winged monoplane with fabric stretched over metal tubing. Vlaicu’s Vlaicu I flew in 1910, just seven years after the Wright brothers’ first flight at Kitty Hawk. Vlaicu died when he crashed his Vlaicu II trying to fly over the Carpathian Mountains.

Although he was able to somewhat streamline the fuselage, Vlaicu’s aircraft was still a high-drag flying machine with pipes, struts, and exposed support cables cutting the wind.

The engineer who was able to build an aircraft completely of metal and with no external support wires was Hugo Junkers. A graduate of the Technical University of Berlin and professor of mechanical engineering at Aachen University, Junkers sought to eliminate as much drag as possible. To do this, he envisioned a self-supporting cantilevered wing. But wood did not have the strength. Junkers’ answer was the first practical all-metal aircraft, the Junkers J1. Junkers designed

a cantilevered wing with no external struts or support cables. Because aluminum sheeting was not yet available, Junkers applied “electric steel” sheets (steel sheets used to make the laminated cores of transformers) to form the surface of the plane. The plane successfully flew in 1916, just thirteen years after the Wright brothers flew at Kitty Hawk. Nicknamed the Blechesel or “Tin Donkey,” the J1 never went into production but flew many demonstration flights that proved the all-metal aircraft was possible and practical. By the time of the Junkers J4 in early 1917, the metallurgists had developed duraluminum, which was suitable to replace the much heavier steel sheeting to form the skin of the fuselage. The J1 represents one of the most significant

revolutions in airframe structure.

Today, engineers and airmen continue to dream and design, experiment and improve, and fail and succeed. The engineers of today, however, “are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants” like the Wrights, Vlaicu, and Junkers.

PROGRAM

There are approximately 600,000 pilots in the United States, and there are about 400,000 medical applications per year. More than 90% of pilots receive their medical certificate at the time of the exam. The FAA has had a longstanding policy to try to expedite the process using the AME Assisted Special Issuance (AASI) Program. This has worked quite well to decrease the wait time for airmen with a number of medical conditions. Many airmen, who in the past may have once been considered to be permanently disqualified, have received their medical certificate through the Special Issuance (SI) Program. The FAA has recently introduced a program to reduce the number of medical conditions that require a Special Issuance. Your AME will now be able to issue a certificate for the following 11 conditions that previously required an SI or AASI, provided the airman meets the criteria listed in worksheets which have been provided to the AME in the AME guide. For airmen who previously had an SI or AASI, the AME may issue a regular certificate when the appropriate criteria are met. At this time, the new policy pertains to the following conditions: arthritis, asthma, hepatitis C, hypertension, hypothyroidism, pre-diabetes, migraine headaches, chronic headaches, renal cancer, testicular cancer, and prostate cancer. Later this year, the FAA plans to add the following: kidney stones, carotid artery stenosis, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, colon cancer, leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease, and lymphoma. If you would like to pursue medical certification under these conditions, I highly suggest that you contact your AME before

your exam so that you can be sure to have all of the required information available for the AME at the time of the exam. We must submit the exam results to the FAA within 7 days (5 working days) of the exam for student pilots and within 14 days (10 working days) for all others. If all necessary data is not made available within that time frame, the airman’s medical certification must be deferred (not denied), which will result in significant delay. Sometimes the required data is easily and quickly obtainable, but in other instances, it is not. In addition, should your AME be out of town and therefore unable to review the submitted data and update and submit the exam form during the above-mentioned time period, the certification may need to be deferred even though you supplied the needed information. Therefore, it is in your best interest to plan ahead.

8 Summer 2013

Within the preceding six calendar months, you have acquired the experience outlined in 14 CFR 61.57(c)(1), to wit, six instrument approaches, holding procedures and tasks, and intercepting and tracking courses utilizing navigational electronic systems. You flew with your friend, a safety pilot who is not instrument-rated, several times over the last six months to comply with the regulatory requirements. It was the usual “let’s grab a hood and go fly some approaches” at the local airport. You have flown the same approaches many times and do it well, BUT are you proficient in IFR (instrument flight rules) procedures?

Can you comply with a change in routing or unexpected holding instructions? Can you safely brief and execute an unexpected instrument approach due to a sudden runway closure at a strange airport? Can you hold at an intersection utilizing just the GPS? Can you comply with reporting instructions in a non-radar environment? Do you know how to make your holding less work and easier to fly yet still comply with ATC? Is your skill with your iPad helping you or increasing your workload?

“BUT I am current because I meet all of the tasks outlined above.” BUT are you proficient to fly that scheduled trip or unexpected encounter with unforecasted weather SAFELY in IMC (instrument meteorological conditions)?

Flight in IMC is a perishable skill, hence the existence of 14 CFR 61.57(c)(1) (Use of an airplane, powered-lift, helicopter, or airship for maintaining instrument experience). With the price of fuel or aircraft rental, it may be difficult to stay current, much less proficient, but there is a simple, inexpensive, and valuable solution. This solution resides in 14 CFR 61.57(c)(2) (Use of a flight simulator or flight training device for maintaining instrument experience) and will not only keep you legally current but, more importantly, proficient. Furthermore, it will not break the bank but actually save you dollars.

Use of a simulator or flight training device can cost from 23% to 45% less than flight in an aircraft. The acquired simulator time satisfies the regulatory experience, and the skill obtained translates directly to flying the aircraft in IMC. Additionally, you can complete the IFR requirements in less time than in an aircraft. Your use of the simulator will not only keep you current; it will keep you proficient at a reduced cost and make your next IMC encounter fun and gratifying. Don’t be current, BUT…be proficient!
