Canada's Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. has created TerraStar, a real-time in-flight safety monitoring system that could make the post-crash search for cockpit voice and flight data recorders
-- as well as some crashes -- obsolete. TerraStar tracks, and can continuously encrypt and transmit to ground-based monitoring systems, up to 18,000-plus aircraft parameters per minute. The system
filters "out of spec" indications as "alert notifications," which are prioritized in remote aircraft monitoring data feeds that can be accessed in real time, online. In practice, that means that
operators on the ground could know about problems with an aircraft before the plane's pilots, or (in the case of distracted or incapacitated pilots) air traffic controllers, observe any symptoms. The
company believes that capability could not only vastly improve scheduling and maintenance, but also provide operators with the necessary data to break some accident chains before the crash. And, in
the case of Air France 447 and the recent Air India crash, it could have provided more information to investigators, immediately, says the company.

Podcast interview with Star Navigation CEO Viraf Kapadia
Eight people were able to jump through a crack in the fuselage of an Air India Boeing 737-800 and were the only survivors of a crash at the "tabletop airport" in Mangalore, India, early Saturday.
The flight originated in Dubai. Weather conditions were apparently benign
throughout the early morning period and authorities said visibility was good when the aircraft, with 166 people on board failed to stop, overran the runway, went through a wall of sandbags and 200-300
feet over a cliff. One little girl was pulled from the wreckage alive but died on the way to hospital. Both the flight data and cockpit voice recorders have been recovered. Some reports suggest the
aircraft landed about 2,000 feet long and the crew was trying to go around. Others have pointed to Air India's ban on "hard landings" in which the touchdown exceeds 1.65 Gs and pilots are called on
the carpet to explain the firm touchdown. There's also the inevitable focus on crew training and experience.
Mangalore is one of those notorious airports where the combination of active weather and the location of the runway makes it considered "difficult" to land at. The main runway 6/24 is 9515 feet
long and the aircraft in question was using 24. Some reports say the runway was wet from light pre-monsoon rain. The captain of the aircraft was British citizen of Serbian descent, had 10,000 hours
and had landed at Mangalore at least 26 times previously. His first officer had 3,500 hours and 66 landings at Mangalore.

Prosecutors pushing manslaughter charges over the fatal crash of an Air France Concorde near Paris in July 2000 are seeking a fine of $220,000 against Continental Airlines and Friday argued for a
two-year suspended jail sentence for an 80-year-old engineer. Henri Perrier directed the Concorde program from 1978 to 1994 and was involved in the first Concorde flight in 1969. He is accused of
ignoring a string of evidence prosecutors say laid warning signs before the crash. Perrier has denied the charges, telling reporters, "I will not accept being held responsible for this accident."
Continental is blamed by prosecutors for losing a metal strip from one of its DC10s as it departed Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport ahead of the Concorde. Investigators believe the Concorde's tires
ran over the strip at high speed during its takeoff roll, initiating the accident chain. The trial in France charges Continental and five individuals with manslaughter. Air France, which operated the
flight, paid millions of dollars in compensation to families of the victims but avoided blame from investigators.
The crash killed 113 people on July 25, 2000, after a the forward right tire on the jet's left main gear burst on takeoff, throwing debris into a wing tank. The tank spilled fuel that ignited. This
happened after the aircraft had achieved V1. Prior to taking the runway the pilot had broadcast to the tower his emergency procedures, stating that past V1, he would continue outbound. And so it was
that the flight was on fire as it left the runway. The crew was alerted to the fire by tower controllers and the flight's engineer identified problems with Engine 2 (of four), and announced "shut down
Engine 2." At that time, the jet was operating in a weight, speed, and drag regime that demanded thrust from four engines to climb. When Engine 1 began to lose power, the aircraft crashed into a
hotel, killing all 109 on board and four on the ground.
What started as a nice walk on the beach with his mom ended with a trip to jail for an Arkansas pilot. Mark Jensen thought it might be nice to spend a sunny Saturday on the white sand of Tybee
Island, in Savannah, Ga., so he put his taildragger (looks like a Kitfox) down and they got out to spend the day, as they apparently have done at other beaches in the past. However, the local police
took a dim view of Jensen's decision to drop in on the popular spot and, ironically, after surrounding the plane with ATVs and a Jeep, charged Jensen with operating a motorized vehicle on the beach
and with reckless conduct. Mom, who wasn't named, escaped the handcuffs and was not charged.
Police Lt. Jonathan Hagan told the Savannah Morning News there was no problem
with the plane and the landing was purely for recreational purposes. "It's unacceptable," Hagan said. "It jeopardized the safety of our beachgoers." The newspaper didn't report on how the airplane got
off the beach.

Experts told the NTSB's Safety Forum on Professionalism in Aviation, Tuesday, that future airline pilots will be in short supply and therefore less experienced, but also (according to The
Associated Press) less ethical. On ethics, Paul Rice, a pilot and spokesman for the Air Line Pilots Association, was skeptical that the current generation of newly hired pilots was less likely than
previous generations to flout authority or break rules. On numbers, Judy Tarver, a former recruiter for American Airlines, told the panel some 54,000 pilots are working for the majors, with some
19,000 at the regionals and roughly 2,500 qualified pilots ready for hire in the U.S. She told the forum that retirements and industry-wide growth will call for some 42,000 new pilots over the next
decade and that industry, economic, military and social trends suggest that demand will be met with fewer qualified applicants. That could lead to siphoning of less qualified pilots from the regionals
and a cascading effect leading to the promotion of less-experienced pilots to positions of greater responsibility. At the moment, it appears demand for commercial aircraft is at least on the
rise.
Boeing announced Thursday that it is "effectively sold out" of commercial aircraft through 2012, that it may again boost production to meet demand, and expects 2011 deliveries to significantly
increase. That "increase," however, should be considered relative to the slowdown caused when airlines began deferring deliveries due to the worldwide recession. As for the pilots who will fly those
and similar aircraft, calls to increase training requirements for pilots have already resulted in changes for aspiring
professional pilots. Meanwhile, industry representatives and legislators continue to debate the real-world implications of quantity of flight hours versus the quality of training and hours
flown.
As the NTSB continues its discussion of pilot professionalism this week, it might consider the performance of two crews who, on
separate occasions, neglected to start the second engine before attempting takeoff. The Wall Street Journal reported that both incidents occurred in regional jets, the first last year as an American
Eagle Embraer lined up at Los Angeles for a short flight to San Diego. When the crew advanced the throttles, one engine failed to respond and when they taxied back to the gate to report it, mechanics
informed the crew that the engine had never been started. A similar incident occurred last March at Dulles, again in an Embraer operated by Trans States Airlines. Once again, according to the Journal
story, the crew noticed the inert second engine only when the thrust levers were moved forward for the takeoff.
To save fuel, some airlines routinely taxi on a single engine, then start the second before takeoff. In the first incident, the second officer evidently became distracted by radio calls during the
start sequence and failed to notice that the second engine hadn't lighted. Both airlines were or are investigating the incidents.

Police disarmed a distraught pilot who had threatened to "harm himself in a spectacular fashion" about an hour before he was scheduled to take a JetBlue flight from Boston Logan Airport to an
undisclosed destination. TSA spokesman George Naccara told WBZ TV the unidentified pilot made the threat in an e-mail to his ex-girlfriend, a flight attendant, who apparently reported it to a federal
air marshal. The marshal called the state police and seven troopers confronted the pilot in the pilot's lounge at the airport. He surrendered a handgun but JetBlue would not confirm whether he is a
federal flight deck officer and permitted to carry firearms onto aircraft.
Naccara said the threat did not mention harming anyone else. After handing over the gun, the pilot agreed to go with the officers to a local hospital for a checkup. JetBlue has taken him off the
flight schedule for "health-related issues."
United Airlines Flight 27 diverted to IAD and landed safely, but the NTSB is investigating the fire that broke out May 16 on the flight deck of the Boeing 757, absorbed two fire extinguishers, and
ultimately cracked the captain's windshield. Early investigation shows the fire consumed elements associated with the windscreen's heating system. The NTSB reported that the captain and first officer
were about 30 minutes out of JFK for LAX, at approximately 9:17 p.m., when they noted a "strong acrid smell and observed smoke from the Captain's lower front windshield." The aircraft, with 112
aboard, was level at 36,000 MSL at the time. The crew told the NTSB they immediately donned oxygen masks and smoke goggles and segregated tasks, turning control of the aircraft to the first officer as
the captain addressed the fire. Smoke and fire dissipated after the captain emptied a halon extinguisher into the flames, but the fire reignited.
The captain then emptied a second bottle he'd obtained from the flight's purser and the fire remained extinguished for the remainder of the flight. The crew diverted to Dulles and were at
approximately 500 feet on final to Runway 19L when the inner pane of the captain's windshield cracked. The aircraft landed safely and was met by fire personnel, but not evacuated. Preliminary
investigation revealed that "One of the five terminal blocks attached to the inside of the lower left windshield was consumed by fire and the portion of the wire harness associated with this terminal
block was significantly damaged by fire." The NTSB noted that two previous windshield fire events on B757-200 aircraft resulted in a Safety Recommendation (PDF). The board will be working to see if the latest incident is related. Find the NTSB's press release here.

CNN Thursday highlighted the 70-percent fuel savings of an MIT-designed airliner built at least in part with technology and parts that don't presently exist -- but thanks to another effort
altogether, fuel-saving shark-skin paint does. The MIT design would incorporate lifting body aerodynamics to greatly reduce the weighty load-bearing structure of its wings while also increasing
stability, thus allowing for more structural weight savings at the tail. One stumbling block stalling production is that the aircraft's engines are based on forecast technology ... as is much of the
aircraft's structure and manufacturing process. As for present technology, a team in Bremen, Germany, has designed, created and applied a paint that mimics the exceptionally low drag features of
sharks' skin. Taking practical application of the technology one step further, the team has also developed the associated manufacturing technology to apply the paint on a production scale -- right now
-- -but some challenges remain.
Yet to be determined is whether the cost of the paint would offset the single-digit efficiency increases it could produce (and the millions of tons of fuel that would save) if applied, globally. The paint's creators believe their product could save nearly 4.5 million tons of fuel per
year, if applied to every aircraft in the world. That, of course, would also lower operational costs while reducing CO2 emissions. One key to the paint is the nanoparticles it incorporates to provide
sufficient protection from UV radiation, temperature changes and mechanical loads suffered by aircraft as a matter of course. Key to the production level application process is the stencil that
creates the sharkskin structure. Complicating factors are the need to evenly apply the paint in the proper level over the stencil, which is detached from the base after UV radiation hardens the
paint.

hand. But could you do the same if smoke and flames appeared in your cockpit? In the latest installment of our AVweb Insider blog, Paul Bertorelli notes that it wouldn't be so easy for a
single pilot — or even two people in a small cockpit. Smoke hoods could help — if you have them.

Each week, we run a sampling of the letters received to our editorial inbox here in AVmail. One letter that's particularly relevant, informative, or otherwise compelling will headline this section as
our "Letter of the Week," and we'll send the author an official AVweb baseball cap as a "thank you" for interacting with us (and the rest of our readership). Send us your
comments and questions using this form. Please include your mailing address in your e-mail (just in case your letter is our "Letter of the
Week"); by the same token, please let us know if your message is not intended for publication.
Letter of the Week: Who Controls Whom?
[Regarding the guest blog by Cleveland air traffic controller Jason Wilson:] Controllers are
employed for the pilot's benefit. It is never the other way around. PATCO was a proving point to this fact.
This fact apparently once again needs to made clear to Wilson and the newer controllers' union, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, that, like it or not, when a pilot declares an
emergency, the pilot receives everything from ATC, no exceptions. Monday morning quarterback the incident later. Bad-mouth the pilot all you want, but that pilot is the sole reason you are in your
government-protected position.
In my 50+ years of aviation, I only "requested" a different controller twice and immediately got a different voice on the radio. I don't recall any emergency that required special
handling. But if I had needed special handling, I would not have taken any question or hesitation from some controller.

94UL
I think TCM is dismissing too much of the engine market. It's great that 94UL can be used on
80 octane engines, but there are a lot around that don't fit that category. If the replacement fuel can't be burned by everyone the same way 100LL is, I don't think it's going to fly. The days of
multiple grades of aviation fuel are gone. (Wish they weren't.)

Shoot! Most weeks, I worry about misidentifying a plane — but this week, I learned muskoxen are not a subset of oxen.
Thanks for the note, Cam. I had no idea when I typed that up, and now I'm sure I won't make the same mistake again (lest one of the editors here send me off to drive a herd in the Great White

Cold War Woopy
The origins of the Woopy-Fly may trace back to 1995, but inflatable wings were operational in 1953 as the
first stealth airplanes for use in the Cold War. The air pressure in the wing was surprisingly low but sufficient for the low AIS, and the inflated wing yielded a very low radar image. There were
plenty of other inflatable airplanes back then as well.
Jim Kettle
Texas Geography
Regarding the story on drones on the Texas border: Rep. Henry Cuellar should check the Texas map. The border from El Paso
along the Rio Grande goes to just east of Brownsville. Cuellar just angered the fine Texans that live in the far south of Texas. A representative from Texas should know there is good flying in the
far south of Texas. It's almost like our flying in Alaska: You need an airplane to get anywhere in a timely manner.
John C. Schmitz Jr.
A380 Potential
Regarding the story about problems with the A380 program: I think this article could need more background information on
why Airbus has delivered fewer A380s than projected. The reason is not only technical but also a consequence of the economic crisis, which forced airlines to cut costs.
With the recent "adjustment" of the Euro, Airbus will have to ramp up production soon. Personally, I think the current drop of the Euro isn't temporary. It will go down even further,
making Airbus planes more attractive price-wise.
Talking about termination of the A380 program would be appropriate if there were a failure comparable to the A400 program, but that's not the case. The airlines want A380s. They attract customers
and help cut costs.
Steffan Diedrichsen
FedEx Works
I am a pilot in training and work for FedEx. The question of employee status in the FAA bill is, of course, an emotional issue for me, so first — good job on a fair, unbiased story. "Level playing field" means to UPS the only way they have to cripple FedEx, because we are killing
them in the marketplace. We have a business model without the crippling unions. From personal experience as a FedEx driver and countless conversations with FedEx drivers both new and old, FedEx
employees do not want a union. We have a rare freedom to move from a driver job up the ladder into any FedEx position, including manager, senior manager, VP of the company, or higher. From a handler
or a driver job, a UPS employee cannot do that.
There are people running FedEx who moved up just that way. The UPS driver is locked into his job. He cannot move anywhere, except to pay higher union dues. The UPS lobby in the Congress is arm
twisting to cripple an American corporation that actually works. Pray that America stays free.

The Woopy-Fly, a sort of paraglider/trike/ultralight hybrid shown on the world stage at AERO Friedrichshafen this April 2010 in Germany, has a wing that folds for storage like a
paraglider — because it's inflatable. Currently, it appears the wing itself is only available from distributors in Switzerland, Russia, and Japan. Those wishing to buy the trike (plus wing) can
expect a complete kit cost to run about 13,780 Swiss Francs, which currently is about US$12,400 — plus the legal disclaimer that releases the manufacturer of liability.

Winning FBOs
AVweb's "FBO of the Week" ribbon goes to Sky Harbor at Craig Municipal Airport (KCRG) in Jacksonville, Florida. Here's
how they saved AVweb reader Gerry McMunn's bacon a few weeks back:
After departing Winter Haven, we could not retract our gear on our Piper Arrow. We diverted to Craig Muni because of the maintenance facilities. ... Sky Harbor welcomed us in their beautiful
office/pilot's lounge and connected us with Northeast Florida Aircraft Maintenance Inc., ... [who] immediately made space for our aircraft and got to work on the problem. John and Duane conducted an
extremely thorough and professional investigation, found a broken wire, and repaired it. [They] got us underway within 2 hours — after having removed all luggage, back seats, and interior
panels. Their fee was very reasonable. ... This was a very fortuitous stop at a very pleasant FBO and airport. We were under stress upon arrival, but quickly were made to feel welcome and treated
very well. Terrific people — all of them.
