Qantas alliance takes wing on upbeat note

WHEN two Airbus A380s roar past the Sydney Opera House tomorrow in what could well be a world-first fly-past, they will kick off two days of hard sell aimed at ensuring the world knows the Qantas-Emirates alliance is finally here.
The first aircraft will take off for Dubai with a heavy load of journalists to chronicle the start of the partnership hailed by Emirates president Tim Clark as a "game changer" and by Qantas boss Alan Joyce as his airline's most significant partnership ever.

Qantas, Emirates get the nod for take-off

THE competition regulator has largely dismissed Qantas's argument that its international operations faced "terminal decline" without an alliance with Emirates, even as it yesterday gave the deal final approval.
With just three days to go before the alliance is due to kick off on Sunday, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission yesterday confirmed that it believed Australian travellers would gain "material but not substantial" benefits from the green-lighted deal.

Aircraft maintenance checks

Aircraft maintenance checks are periodic inspections that have to be done on all commercial/civil aircraft after a certain amount of time or usage - the military aircraft normally follow specific maintenance programmes which may be or not similar to the commercial/civil operators. Airlines and other commercial operators of large or turbine-powered aircraft follow a continuous inspection program approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States,[1] or by other airworthiness authorities such as Transport Canada or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Under FAA oversight, each operator prepares a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) under its Operations Specifications or "OpSpecs".[2] The CAMP includes both routine and detailed inspections. Airlines and airworthiness authorities casually refer to the detailed inspections as "checks", commonly one of the following: A check, B check, C check, or D check. A and B checks are lighter checks, while C and D are considered heavier checks.

A Check

This is performed approximately every 500 - 800 flight hours or 200 - 400 cycles. It needs about 20-100 man-hours and is usually performed overnight at an airport gate or hangar. The actual occurrence of this check varies by aircraft type, the cycle count (takeoff and landing is considered an aircraft "cycle"), or the number of hours flown since the last check. The occurrence can be delayed by the airline if certain predetermined conditions are met.

B Check

This is performed approximately every 4–6 months. It needs about 150 man-hours and is usually performed within 1–3 days at an airport hangar. A similar occurrence schedule applies to the B check as to the A check. B checks may be incorporated into successive A checks, i.e.: A-1 through A-10 complete all the B check items.

C Check

This is performed approximately every 15–21 months or a specific amount of actual flight hours (FH) as defined by the manufacturer. This maintenance check is much more extensive than a B Check, as pretty much the whole aircraft is inspected. This check puts the aircraft out of service and until it is completed, the aircraft must not leave the maintenance site. It also requires more space than A and B Checks - usually a hangar at a maintenance base. The time needed to complete such a check is generally 1–2 weeks and the effort involved can require up to 6000 man-hours. The schedule of occurrence has many factors and components as has been described, and thus varies by aircraft category and type.

D Check

This is by far the most comprehensive and demanding check for an airplane. It is also known as a Heavy Maintenance Visit (HMV). This check occurs approximately every 5 years. It is a check that, more or less, takes the entire airplane apart for inspection and overhaul. Also, if required, the paint may need to be completely removed for further inspection on the fuselage metal skin. Such a check will usually demand around 40,000 man-hours and it can generally take up to 2 months to complete, depending on the aircraft and the number of technicians involved. It also requires the most space of all maintenance checks, and as such must be performed at a suitable maintenance base. Given the requirements of this check and the tremendous effort involved in it, it is also the most expensive maintenance check of all, with total costs for a single visit being well within the million-dollar range.

Because of the nature and the cost of such a check, most airlines—especially those with a large fleet—have to plan D Checks for their aircraft years in advance. Oftentimes, older aircraft being phased out of a particular airline's fleet are either stored or scrapped upon reaching their next D Check, due to the high costs involved in it in comparison to the aircraft's value. On average, a commercial aircraft undergoes 2–3 D Checks before it is retired. Many Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) shops state that it is virtually impossible to perform a D Check profitably at a shop located within the United States. As such, only few of these shops offer D checks.

F16 min Babasi:Harry Hillaker

Bu hafta sizlerle F16 ucagının tasarımında emegi gecen Harry Hillaker den bahsetmek istiyorum.bilindigi uzere f16 ucakları envantere girdigi ilk gunden beri cok verimli olmasına karsin,yeri belki bir daha doldurulmayacak bir devrimsel bir tasarımdır.Bu tasarımda rol alan insanlardan biri de Harry Hillakerdir.bu ucaklarda kullanıcı dostu cockpit ve entegre edilmis elektronik sistem le tek bir pilotun bile karsı dusmanla savasmasına elverişli bir kullanım yapısına sahiptir.Operasyon ve destek te inanılmaz bir low cost modeli diger rakiplerine karsı bir adım atmasına sebeb olmustur.bu ucakla beraber deyim yerindeyse teknolojik bir cıgır acılmıstır aslında savas ucakları tasarımı ve uretimde.fly by wire sistemi ve relaxed static stability diger rakiplerine karsı ulasılması ımkansız bir rakip yapmıstır kendisini aslında.
1960 lara donelim.Hillaker adındaki tasarımcı zamanın cogu kısmını ruyasındaki ucagı tasarlamak icin harcamıs.Hafif ,manevra kabiliyeti yuksek,atik,yuksek performanslı bir jet hayali projesini gerceklestirmis ve bu saydıklarımız artık savas ucaklarında bir standart haline gelmistir diyebiliriz rahatlıla.2986 yılında Hillaker emekli olmasına ragmen 44 senelik bir tasarım calısması ve US air force de gecen deneyimli bir arastırmacı.1990 yılında US Ulusal akademısı onu basarısını prestıjlı bır odule layık gordu.kendisini o kadar adamıstı ki calıstıgı uretım hattı evıne fot worth  a asdece 10 dakika mesafedeydi. Ve her zaman f16 hakkında konusmaktan ayrı bır memnunıyet duyardı.
1960 ların sonunuda artık ısmı vurucu mafya takma ismiyle anılmaya baslanmıstır.BU soru kendısıne soruldugunda su cevabı verir:tasarımda rol oynayan 3 kisiden biriydimçJohn boyd,pierre sprey ve ben.bize mafya lakabı hava kuvvetlerinde 60 ların ortasına dogru verılmıs bır ısımdı.biz degisimi isteyen bir gruptuk.hava kuvvetleri kuzeye gitmek istese biz yonumuzu guneye donerdık.cunki biz degisim istemistik.ve sloganımız oldukca basıttı aslında.BASITLESTIR!
Kucuk ve basitlik sizce nedir?
Genel olarak,daha az yuk,az surukleme ve buna ragmen yuksek bır performans.
