AT-802F Initial Attack Firefighter

EARLY BIRD

Because small fires can grow into big ones.

Get on a fire quickly; knock it down before heavies are needed. That’s why the Air Tractor AT-802F is the world’s go-to aerial firefighter. For initial or extended attack, no other aerial asset delivers the speed, maneuverability, performance and operational economy like an 802F. It’s the early bird that gets the call.

Training for success The final statistics for the 2015 fire season are in and show that the year was the largest since record keeping began in regards to total acres burned. The number of large fires was actually below the ten-year average and this reflects an increase in the number of mega-fires or ones that exceed 100,000 acres. Of the ten-million plus acres scorched last year more than half were in Alaska. Megafires there were the norm and many of them are not suppressed but simply monitored because of their remoteness and the scarcity of structures or property. Alaska is forecast to have another big fire season brought on by limited winter moisture.

A company called Global Supertanker has resurrected the Boeing 747 air tanker. They have purchased intellectual property and equipment from Evergreen International whose attempt to market the 747 air tanker failed with bankruptcy. Global Supertanker is utilizing a later model airframe and as of this writing the tanks have been installed and flight testing is underway in California. The failure of Evergreen was partially because at the time the idea of a Very Large Air Tanker (VLAT) had not been accepted by the wildland fire community. Since then, Tanker 10 with their Douglas DC-10 VLATs have more than validated the idea. With a retardant capacity of 20,000 gallons,

the Supertanker will dwarf the DC10’s 11,400-gallon capacity. I wish the company the best and cannot wait to see the beast in action.

I recently attended a training program where the subject of the ever popular energy drinks was discussed. Evidently, the boost they supply to the body have just the opposite effect on your brain.

The high they give is followed by a crash that leaves the user worse off than before they drank the product. The U.S. Navy has forbidden their aviators from consuming these drinks anytime on duty or off. If a Naval Aviator is caught drinking one, flight privileges are suspended immediately. Some airlines have followed suit by discouraging flight crews from drinking these products.

If you need a pick me up from fatigue have a cup of coffee. It is much safer for the body.

My company just completed an inspection by the Office of Aircraft Services (OAS). The inspection was held in conjunction with our annual in-house pilot training program and involved four inspectors. Because of weather concerns, we completed the flight check portion of the program first. It consisted of the pilot making two water drops with the first being a split load and the second being an emergency jettison. We were graded on many points

including communications, accuracy, altitude control and coordination. The pilots also demonstrated their ability to program a radio and a GPS in a limited amount of time. The flight check was followed by a debriefing and an oral discussion on contract issues. Under a new rule, all Level I pilots will now have to complete this test every thirty-six months. A lot of good information was exchanged and overall I thought it was a very good program.

The 2016 fire season is just around the corner and in fact it has already begun in several places, such as Texas. Many of the training programs have been completed and soon it will be time to go to work. I hope you all have a safe and prosperous season and maybe I will see you in the mountains one day.

Avialsa has only FTD Level II certified AT-802F simulator in the world Valencian aeronautical company, Avialsa T-35, has installed a unique FTD Level II Air Tractor AT-802F simulator for land and amphibious operations. The A12 type simulator was developed by Entrol and is based at the new Avialsa facilities in Paterna (Valencia) Spain.

Avialsa, with its 50-year history, has always believed it is necessary to invest in safety and quality training. This has been accomplished with Entrol introducing into this simulator elements for operational trainings such as SAR (Search and Rescue) and firefighting scenarios.

Avialsa, through its sister company Air Tractor Europe, is the Air Tractor AT-802 distributor for Europe, North Africa and the Middle East offering one of the largest single engine turboprops in production with a mission to carry 800-gallon (3,000-liter) loads of water or retardant to fight forest fires. Being an aircraft which carries proportionally to its size such a large load, its flight operations are complex.

Furthermore, pilots have to operate in areas with challenging landscapes and flight conditions, such as smoke and obstacles.

An Avialsa pilot trains in the A12 AT-802F simulator. Note the curved screen.

AFF-8

For these reasons, Avialsa’s investment in the A12 simulator is important.

With the simulator, a pilot can fly within these environments safely. All procedures and any emergencies that may be encountered can be duplicated, whereas they are impossible to train for in actual flight.

Although the AT-802F can be considered a complex plane due to its size and weight, what is really difficult is the transition from the “light� model single engine aircraft, like the AT-502 with a 750 SHP engine and 500-gallon

The lighted cockpit of Avialsa’s AT-802F simulator.

(1893-liter) hopper to the AT-802F with engines available from 1295 SHP and 1600 SHP. This fact alone requires a number of hours of flight training due to the different inertias between the models, being that the AT-802F is heavier (16,000 pounds/7,257 kgs certified maximum gross weight versus 9,400 pounds/4,263 kg for the AT-502) and therefore operational procedures must be more strict.

The AT-802F simulator has multiple databases with real worldwide scenarios.

The AT-802F simulator has multiple databases with real worldwide scenarios with the aim to offer realistic environments so pilots can

recognize indicative elements from the landscape and train accordingly. One advantage of the simulator is the exact reproduction of the AT-802F cockpit which familiarizes the pilot with the aircraft’s operation: controls pressures are adjusted to represent the same forces felt in actual flight conditions. The pilot can experience operations using the simulator that would be difficult or impossible to train for during a real flight.

The AT-802F simulator is located at Avialsa’s flight training offices. There is a briefing room and a classroom. The AT-802F simulator cockpit has a threechannel, 160º x 35º vision screen that software images are projected upon.

It also has an instructor command position, where the instructor can program the desired operation, including engine flame outs and emergencies on the ground or in flight. It can simulate operations with traditional landing gear

or amphibious floats, recreating all flight operations an AT-802F is capable of performing.

Avialsa has received certification of the AT-802F A12 simulator and training has begun with it. Air Tractor Europe’s participation with Avialsa’s simulator provides a complete sales package that can include the aircraft and training.

The simulator will also be an advantage for Avialsa company pilots, providing advanced training, as well as other operators who can use the simulator for their training or to obtain new ratings for their flight crews.

The Avialsa AT-802F A12 simulator provides an improved quality of training within a safe flight environment.

FlightSafety International and Aeroglobo initiate a new era in training FlightSafety International recently selected AeroGlobo Aeronaves of Botucatu Brazil to be its exclusive partner in South America for training mechanics, pilots and other professionals for maintenance on all Pratt & Whitney Canada turboprop engines installed on helicopters, agricultural airplanes, executive and commercial aircraft. The first training session was held February 29-March 04, 2016.

“We look to the future with AeroGlobo when we chose to move forward with our training program in Brazil,” said David Davenport, executive vice-president of FlightSafety that is based in Dallas, Texas. The company delivers more than one million hours of training per year for pilots, maintenance technicians, flight attendants and brokers from 167 countries.

The company has 40 training centers in the USA, Australia, Canada, China, France, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, United Kingdom and South Africa, including AeroGlobo as its representative in South America. “The reputation of our new Brazilian partner ensures professionals will receive the highest quality training,” said Davenport.

To adapt to the rigorous standards of FlightSafety, AeroGlobo has made a large investment in infrastructure and equipment for its training center. FlightSafety provided engines and a simulator for practical training.

“Another advantage of AeroGlobo is we train using instructors who speak Portuguese and Spanish, not requiring a translator for our Latin customers,” said Fabiano Zacarelli Cunha, owner of AeroGlobo.

AeroGlobo’s training center has easy access to restaurants and hotels in Botucau. Located at 840 meters MSL, Botucatu is a town known for its pleasant climate. The city has about 140,000 inhabitants and is 235 kilometers from São Paulo. It is also home to a group of universities led by UNESP, one of the largest in the country.

Botucatu is fairly easy to access via the Viracopos International Airport in Campinas, as well as major airports in São Paulo.

AeroGlobo was formed 10 years ago and is in a partnership with Lane Aviation representing the sales and service of Air Tractors for South America. The company offers training for Air Tractor turbine transition, maintenance and firefighting.

Today, along with its main location in Botucatu, it has service centers throughout Brazil in its main agricultural areas. This year, AeroGlobo opened a branch in Argentina and another in Rondonópolis Mato Grosso.

AFF-10

AereGlobo’s training center is equipped with a simulator qualified for Air Tractor AT-402B, AT-502B and AT-802 training. Other functions of AeroGlobo include the marketing of aircraft, support parts and services, aviation insurance and the sales and service of Satloc DGPS units.

Partners of AeroGlobo enthusiastically received the news on the initiative with FlightSafety. “The association of FlightSafety with AeroGlobo will be valuable for both companies, since it adds the excellence of the American company with one of the best training centers of South America,” said Thiago Magalhães Silva, managing partner of Aeroagrícola Chapadão based in Orlândia.

For Ruddigger Alves da Silva, director ABA commercial aircraft maintenance based in Barreiras, “They are two companies of unquestionable competence offering many advantages for those who are accustomed to service of the highest quality.”

AeroGlobo training is free of charge for customers who acquire aircraft fitted with PWC engines. For each acquired aircraft, training is available to two professionals over a period of up to five years. For more information, visit: aeroglobo.com.br.

Simplex Aerospace celebrates 70 years of aviation mission equipment innovation PORTLAND, OR—Aviation mission equipment leader Simplex Aerospace is celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2016. Since entering the agricultural spray market in 1946, Simplex has grown into an internationally renowned aerospace technology company specializing in the design, manufacturing and certification of aerial application equipment. With over 185 FAA and international certifications, 23 international representatives, and five service centers, Simplex has become the preferred partner for helicopter OEMs, governments, and private operators worldwide.

While agricultural application equipment remains one of the company’s strongest markets, Simplex has diversified its products with the introduction of several new and innovative product lines. Since entering the aerial firefighting market in the early 1990s, Simplex has expanded its fleet of helicopter Fire Attack™ belly tanks with models for most major OEM platforms. Most recently, Simplex delivered a brand new 4,000-liter, Fire Attack™ System to the Chinese helicopter manufacturer, Avicopter. In addition, Simplex recently certified a 3,050-gallon Fire Attack™ system for the Boeing CH-47D Chinook. With the danger of wildland fires continuing to rise

around the world, Simplex is committed to working closely with OEMs and operators to produce durable, safe and efficient firefighting systems specifically designed and matched to aircraft capabilities.

Recognizing the need for a safer, more efficient method of cleaning power line insulators and wind mill blades, Simplex introduced a new generation power line and windmill cleaning and de-icing spray systems in 2008. Aerial Cleaning and DeIcing Systems were certified for the Bell 407 (Model 508) in 2008 and for the AS350 & 355 series (Model 510) in 2012.

These highly productive Aerial Cleaning and De-Icing systems have been delivered to operators in the United States, Canada, Morocco, Egypt, South Africa and Angola.

In 2009 Simplex began developing a rapid response horizontal spray system, nicknamed the SkyCannon™, for combating fires in high rise buildings. Mark Zimmerman, President and CEO of Simplex Aerospace explained, “The SkyCannon™ is a rapid response skyscraper firefighting system with the capabilities of a ground based fire truck.” The SkyCannon allows aerial firefighters to arrive at the fire quickly free of traffic congestion and prevent the fire from spreading as ground firefighting crews combat the fire from within the building providing occupants valuable time to evacuate. To date Simplex has produced SkyCannon systems for the Avicopter AC313 and the H225 helicopters. The company plans to adapt the system to additional aircraft platforms in the future.

When asked how the company has maintained its competitive edge over so many years, Mark Zimmerman commented, “Customers have come to recognize Simplex as a trusted source of certified, reliable, high quality systems backed by a state of the art on-site engineering and customer service staff. Our customers know they can count on us to keep them in the air performing their missions. That is a commitment every Simplex employee takes very seriously.”

When asked about Simplex’s future, Mark Zimmerman commented, “Simplex Aerospace will continue to grow at an accelerated pace over the next decade driven by new innovative aerial mission equipment focused on the un-met needs of aircraft operators worldwide.”

Trotter Controls, Inc. adds DataVault to its firefighting product line FORT WORTH, TEXAS — Trotter Controls, Inc announces the addition of DataVault to the AeroCloud family of firefighting and telemetry products.

Building on more than 20 years of experience in the aerial firefighting industry, the AeroCloud DataVault is a uniquely open platform which enables operators to easily comply with the increasingly stringent reporting needs of authorities worldwide.

Available to order now, DataVault is a high performance telemetry and data acquisition system tailored to meet the needs of the aerial firefighting community.

For FRDS GEN II systems, the DataVault simply plugs into the Pilot Interface Unit to access all gate parameters via a proprietary internal data bus.

Although optimized for use with the FRDS Gen II, DataVault is a truly open “plug and play” device. For third party gate controllers, the DataVault can either analyze the gate controller’s serial bus or monitor analog and digital sensors directly to capture proof of delivery data according to both NAFC and USFC requirements.

The DataVault already supports basic connectivity with the ConAir gate controller allowing users of this equipment to easily comply with NAFC and upcoming USFS real time reporting and tracking requirements.

A built-in FCC approved module is used to send gate and aircraft data in near real time via the Iridium satellite constellation for display to an operator or firefighting authority.

With its internal GPS and TSO dual function antenna, DataVault provides advanced tracking services which relay position data via the Iridium network to TracPlus (NAFC AFAMS integration partner for Australia, and tracking service provider) on a configurable time or distance basis. The optional Pilot Message Interface allows the pilot to adjust easily the tracking transmission interval parameter to a specific time or geo-fence to optimize transmission bandwidth when operating in limited geographical territory.

The Pilot Message Interface, available in early 2016, also supports transmission of geo-tagged waypoint markers such as “persons in danger” or “property at risk”. In conjunction with TracPlus, acknowledged Distress Messaging and ground to air text messages are

AFF-16

also supported without the need for sim cards.

DataVault has both fixed and removable data storage, which when combined with its internal motion sensors, enables deep post-mission analysis to assess delivery efficiency, aircraft utilization and pilot performance.

Internal memory constantly records more than 40 parameters, including geo-tags, at intervals as short as 0.1s and has capacity for more than 1,000 flight hours.

Information can also be collected on a USB stick and uploaded to an Internet accessible database for mission replay, plotting, reporting and sharing data with authorized third parties.

Configured via a comprehensive set of PC-based DataVault tools, the “Pro” model delivers the ability to add user digital or analog inputs which can be easily scaled to actual units of measure, recorded and transmitted in real time to a base station via third-party products such as TracMap or FlightCell’s DMZ device.

“Pro” models of the DataVault include the ability to drive electric motors, on/off and proportional valves to enable control of other equipment on the aircraft.

On 12 December, the Valencian aerospace company, Avialsa T-35 SL, celebrated its 50th anniversary. The event was attended by over 200 people, including workers and their families. The event also served to inaugurate the facilities that the company has in the Technological Park of Paterna (Valencia).

After visiting the new facilities, which allowed all to see up close the new A12 AT-802F simulator, they moved to the Viver airfield where a discharge demonstration was held using an AT-802F Air Tractor. Vicente Huerta, Avialsa manager, gave a speech in which he told how in 1965 his father, Vicente Huerta and Francisco Villar, created the first company in Spain for aerial agricultural applications that is today Avialsa.

During the ceremony, employees with more than 25 years working for the company were recognized. The event ended with a meal in which employees and friends enjoyed a special day.

Rebuilding the fleet

by Marc Mulllis At one time the United States heavy air tanker aerial firefighting fleet numbered in the mid forties. Attrition, accidents and the demise of several air tanker companies saw that number decline to just nine only a few years ago. These nine were all Korean War vintage aircraft powered by piston engines. During this decline, the United States Forest Service (USFS), which administers the heavy air tanker contracts, dragged their feet in developing a plan to rebuild the fleet. Finally in early 2012, the USFS issued solicitations for bids for seven next generation heavy air tankers. The solicitation said they must be turbine powered, cruise over 300 knots and have a payload of at least 3,000 gallons of retardant.

Contracts were awarded to five different companies for aircraft that included BAe-146, MD-87, Avro RJ-85, Douglas

AFF-20

DC-10 and Lockheed C-130 aircraft. By the 2015 fire season, all these aircraft were on contract and flying on fires.

The aircraft proved to be very capable and after working through expected teething problems were in very high demand. With their higher cruise speeds and greater capacity, they could cover a larger area and be much more productive than the older legacy air tankers. Their high speed required the USFS to add jet powered lead planes to their fleet in the form of the Cessna Citation Jet. In 2015, the USFS issued solicitations for seven more next generation air tankers.

The same five companies filled the bids.

Some of these aircraft are ready to go now and some, if not all, will be working during the upcoming 2016 fire season.

When funds were appropriated, $65 million was given to the USFS to acquire their own firefighting aircraft. This

just happens to be the cost of one new Lockheed C-130 aircraft.

Meanwhile in a convoluted deal between the USFS, the United States Air Force (USAF) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG,) the USFS wound up with seven Lockheed C-130s that had previously been operated by the USCG. As part of the deal, the USAF will complete all inspections and conversions to firefighting before handing the aircraft over to the USFS. Flight crews and all maintenance will be contracted.

At least one of these seven aircraft will be available for the 2016 fire season.

Slowly but surely, the heavy air tanker fleet is building back up. I do not foresee 44 “heavies” on contract again, but with the added capabilities of today’s heavies, maybe we will soon see the day when all orders for heavies will be filled during a busy fire season.

Aerial firefighting’s tool box

by Marc Mullis America’s aerial firefighting fleet is a large and diversified one. Often referred to as a tool box with each tool having a specific use. The heavy air tankers are used to build retardant lines, helicopters are used to cool down hot spots and ferry equipment and personnel.

Scoopers are very effective when there is a ready body of water nearby. Then, there are the Single Engine Air Tankers (SEATs), probably the most versatile tool in the box.

Of the approximately 75 SEATs in the U.S., 33 are on a federal Exclusive Use contract while the rest serve on state contracts or On Call. All Exclusive Use pilots are initial attack qualified, which means they do not require any type of supervision and often times are the first asset to arrive on a fire. Large fires make the news, while thousands of small fires escape the spotlight every year because a couple of SEATs were dispatched at the

first sighting of smoke. These aircraft are stationed across the west in historical prone fire areas during the summer fire season. Usually, based in pairs they can operate from small municipal airports and with their self-contained support equipment can quickly reposition to wherever the need arises.

SEATs are also used on extended attack fires building lines right alongside the heavies or reinforcing weak spots.

Because of their maneuverability, they are used where larger tankers cannot operate. A Fire Traffic Area (FTA) can be a very busy place. The aircraft are separated by altitude with rotor wing aircraft positioned low, SEATs 500 feet above, heavies another 500 above and aerial supervision on top directing traffic.

I have seen as many as twenty aircraft safely operating in a FTA at one time.

known as the Fire Boss. Although, it has taken a few years for them to catch on in the USA, they have now become very popular. Fire Managers have finally figured out that they can be used on the same mission as a Type 1 helicopter at a fraction of the cost. If there is a nearby water supply, a tremendous amount of water can be delivered in a short amount of time. I know Fire Boss pilots that have completed 55-60 loads in one day.

The SEAT program has really matured and is here to stay. If within forty miles of the fire, they are the least expensive method of retardant delivery for the government. Four SEATs positioned close to a fire can deliver more than 60,000 gallons of retardant a day at a cost far less than any other asset. SEATs are just another tool in the box, but on a per gallon delivered basis they are by far the one of the best tools in the chest.

agair mail great job I have just received latest release of your magazine with GE engine powered aircraft in title and picture from opening cooperation with Turbine Conversions.

Hello Michal, I am glad you liked the article. It was a good decision by both Turbine Conversions and GE Aviation.

I will take care of the subscription change request, no problem.

Great job! Thank you.

I have a question to you, as far as I know we are receiving two copies AgAir Update, one addressed to me, one addressed to Michal Cerny. As Michal has left the company, could you address the copy to Tomas Benes, chief of our customer support?

Thank you very much

Michal Ptacnik, PhD. Commercial Manager GE Aviation

Should you ever see my friend Michal Cerny in the Czech Republic, please give him my regards.—Bill

Extra As I roll into retirement and phase out my Agrobatics flight training, I’d like to thank you and Graham for all the support provided by AgAir Update. It has been a real pleasure being associated with your publication. It has equally been my pleasure to have been associated with the NAAA staff. Andrew, Peggy and Ken have been absolutely first class to work with.

I haven’t counted how many ag pilots I’ve taken through my unusual attitude recognition and recovery course over the past fourteen years, but there have been a lot of laughs, a few pukes, a little learn’n (here and there) and a ton of B.S. stories.

Mystery aircraft Can you identify the ag-plane in this photo?

In the safety business, your failures are usually more obvious than your successes. However, I have had a few customers call and relate how their Agrobatics training might have saved their butts and that always made my day.

I expect the Extra to be sold within a few weeks, but if any of your readers would like to pick up where I’m leaving off with something like Agrobatics, they can count on my total support.

All my best, Wayne Handley Groveland, CA Howdy Wayne; Thanks for the kudos, but whatever AgAir Update has done was payback for the kindness Karen and you have shown us over the years (not to mention the extreme flights in the Extra). I know you feel as I, that this ag-av business has been a great ride. I also know you aren’t falling off the end of the planet, so please stay in touch. If you are out this way, do stop by for a visit.—Bill

Like a fickle date, she swayed back and forth, sashaying to the North, then to the South; teasing a little to the East, then swishing back to the West.

The wind was playing a coy game. The same old game she plays every season when we have a pile of work orders and truck loads of herbicide waiting to get applied. The weeds were

growing while farmers chewed their lips and ag pilots paced back and forth glaring at maps and weather forecasts. We chipped away at the work, sometimes working a pass at a time, spraying wherever and whenever conditions allowed. It’s a frustrating way to work, but that’s just the way it is. Patience and perseverance is the name of the game during herbicide season.

Ag pilots live and die by the nature of the wind. She can be our best friend or our worst enemy. We learn to adapt and overcome and do our best to work with and around the wind. It can be the bane of our existence.

I called on the radio to my spotter who was at the field. “How’s it looking?” I asked, tapping my foot anxiously on the cockpit floor board. “Looks good, mix it up,” he replied. I turned to the loader, twirled my finger and nodded. He set right to work and in a IT’S ALL ABOUT AIR! few minutes a load of weed and grass killer was burbling into my hopper. Almost five hundred gallons and a minute or so later, the hose was disconnected as the prop was spooling up. I pushed the throttle forward and rumbled down the THRUSH 510P Balance runway, eager to get to work.

to not have to live by fluorescent light in an environment where there is no environment. I’ll take flaky minded air currents and mud over thermostats and carpet any time.

Tomorrow is another day. Another day of challenges to adapt to what Mother Nature throws at us. Another day to do what we do to the best of our ability, under whatever conditions exist.

We can’t outguess the weather or change the manner of the wind. We’ll go to the hangar, fire up when we can and do what we can do. I’ll bet old Rogers and Hammerstein has some pretty good ag flying music! “Oh what a beautiful mornin’.....”

Fly well and stay safe!

worksheet looking for options other than landing with a full load and having to pump it off. I keyed the mike again and opened the floor for suggestions. The ground guys and other pilots tossed ideas back and forth when my spotter called again, low and behold the wind had switched back! “You’d better get tail over here before she changes her mind again!” I pointed the nose of the aircraft to the field and sprayed with spite in my heart to the fickle wind! We try to have a ‘Plan B’ in place whenever possible, just in case the aforementioned scenario happens. It’s nice to have, but the truth is, it’s rarely possible.

I know waiting on the wind is a crop duster tradition. Generations of pilots have sat around the old stove (so to speak) waiting and watching. During herbicide season, it is especially necessary to be cautious about the wind velocity and direction. I think the most frustrating is when the wind is just simply stagnant.

When it doesn’t do anything but kind of slosh around like murky water in an old fish bowl. It’s just downright lazy and unreliable. I think I’d rather have a gale force wind of driving rain, thunder and lightning than a deadbeat wind that sags, drags and slumps around. It reminds me of an old girlfriend I had once who managed a trailer park. Those were some rough days brother. But I digress.

Our jobs depend on the weather. There is no doubt about that.

Just like everyone else in the agriculture industry, we’re always looking to the horizon. Hoping and praying for rain when we need it, then complaining about the runways being too muddy to work from. Needing a south wind, when the wind is out of north, or an east wind, when she’s blowing from the west.

It’s a dynamic world we live and work in. Dealing with the aggravation of uncooperative weather is the price we pay for those grand days when everything just seems to fall into place.

I try to give an extra thanks to the Man upstairs on those days and ask Him for a little leniency for my frustrations on days that aren’t so great.

Guys who work in office buildings don’t worry about these things. They look out their windows and mull over tactical plans to get to their cars without getting their shoes wet. Or, perhaps they worry if they might have left their windows down and gotten dust on the upholstery. I don’t know, I’m simply glad

Shortened boom swath width predictions

by Dennis R. Gardisser, WRK of Arkansas LLC I just returned from a two-day session at the USDA/ARS College Station that dealt quite a bit with drift mitigation. One of the ways to reduce potential is relative to boom placement with relation to the wing and boom length.

Many operators have asked how to estimate the effective swath width as the boom length is being shortened. This article will give an example that will help provide that estimate.

The starting point is to determine what the optimum effective swath width is with a given boom length. It really doesn’t matter what that value is, but should be a swath width that has been producing excellent results. I will use an Air Tractor 802 as an example. Data taken from several Operation S.A.F.E. clinics indicate that 72

feet is an excellent average swath width for an AT-802 when making applications at five GPA. The range is quite variable with variable setups such as boom location, droplet spectrum, application height, etc., but for this example I will use these numbers. Most boom lengths, and many that show up at test clinics, are 75 percent of the wingspan. To make the math easy, I will use a wingspan of 60 feet for the AT-802 - although it may be just a few inches short of that. Seventy five percent of that will result in a boom length of 45 feet.

The relationship of boom length to swath width then becomes 72 divided by 45 or 1.6. This relationship may then be used to calculate the resulting estimated effective swath width when the boom is shortened. The boom length would be 36 if shortened to 60% of the wingspan. The estimated optimum effective swath width would then be 1.6 times 36, equal to 57.6 feet, or approximately 58 feet.

This relationship should only be used when nothing else is changed – especially anything that would change the boom setup and resulting droplet spectrum. I think it should be obvious that this relationship will only hold true for a partial shortening of the boom – perhaps a maximum of a 25% reduction. This type relationship should provide a good estimate for both rotary and fixed wing platforms. As always, confirmation should be done through accurate testing, but when that is not available, past test results indicate this is a great starting place.!

C-188 with 450 HP in Brazil

by Ernesto Franzen Ag operators are always looking for imaginative solutions for their needs, many times creatively adapting their equipment. An operator based in Brazil’s midwest, needing more power in his Ag-Wagon to cope with high density altitude conditions has converted it to a radial Pratt & Whitney R-985 (450 HP) engine, modified to use a Bendix injection system along with a three-blade prop from a Twin Beech.

He did the conversion inspired and with some information from Rodney Godley, a North Carolina operator who did such a conversion in the US about 30 years ago. The Brazilian operator claims he can now takeoff with 200 gallons in the hopper in 1,500 feet and spray at 130 mph using 27” MP and 1900 RPM. Best of all, he can use automotive gas, burning about 23 GPH. He considered working on a Brazilian CHST (similar to the FAA STC) for this conversion, but he has opportunity to buy an Air Tractor AT-401 and will return the Ag-Wagon to its original configuration.

Since entering service in 2012, more than 200 H Series engines have been delivered to operators flying diverse aircraft, including Aircraft Industries’ L410 commuter plane and the Thrush 510G agricultural aircraft.

GE Aviation continues to invest in improving performance and maintenance capabilities for its growing turboprop fleet, by working with Prime Turbines, in Dallas, Texas, to provide full US-based overhaul capability for the H series by 2017, which includes having a full test cell at GE’s facility at nearby Carter Field operational early in 2016. In December 2015, GE extended time between overhauls (TBO) for new production and in-service H Series turboprop engines to 4000 hours, a 10% improvement providing significant savings for agriculture, utility and business aviation operators.

Also in December, Thrush Aircraft, Inc., and GE Aviation announced plans to develop a new H85-powered version of the current Thrush 510G. The H85 engine upgrade will feature more power and a new electronic engine control (EEC) system designed to reduce pilot workload with a single-lever control for both engine and propeller operation. The H85 with EEC system will be offered as an optional engine upgrade to the standard H80-powered 510G. The new H85-powered 510G aircraft is expected to enter service in 2017.

NZ operators faced with heavy levy

by John Sinclair, Executive Officer NZ Agricultural Aviation Association sinclairjg@gmail.com In an unprecedented move the NZ Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has announced that it is to introduce a new safety levy on aerial topdressers that will see them levied $1.00 per tonne (GST Inclusive). This is intended to replace the existing arrangement where CAA charges topdressers for their surveillance at a rate of about $5400 per audit (exclusive GST). But the NZ Agricultural

Aviation Association (NZAAA) asks, has the authority done its homework?

The Cresco topdressing aircraft routinely spreads 25 tonnes per hour of super and up to 55 tonnes per hour of lime. Over the year each aircraft will spread 25,000 tonnes give or take. So a small operator who runs two Crescos can expect to pay $50,000 to CAA and larger ones with five will pay $125,000. That is a 2300% increase! Clearly topdressers cannot afford to wear this cost and so it will be passed on.

The CAA Funding Review can be found at www.caa.govt. nz/funding/index.html#Ph2 CAA claims that it currently costs $621,000 to provide safety oversight for Ag Aviation yet NZAAA’s figures of 700,000 tonne solids spread and 80m litres of spray applied shows that the amount will be more like $678,000 GST exclusive.

NZAAA says it is absolutely wrong that farmers are being taxed yet again – this time to fund the air police. It questions just why it costs so much to provide safety oversight to Ag Aviation.

More importantly, it questions the principle of a levy based funding model. Clearly CAA will have to spend considerable time auditing Ag Aviation to ensure that operators are being honest with their tonnes reported. This inefficiency will mean more cost for CAA. The existing arrangement is agreeable because audits are charged on an hourly rate (currently $284) and that means that the good operators pay less than the others.

Those who are out of compliance pay more – as they should.

NZAAA also criticises the tiny amount the Government pays towards CAA’s running costs. That figure is $1.3m which is 3.3% of the $38.7m budget and that $1.3m figure hasn’t changed since 1997. The majority of CAA’s current income comes from a levy on airline passengers who contribute $25.8m by paying $1.63 per flight. NZAAA argues that these folk, as well as everyone on the ground, are the direct benefactors of the aviation safety system so if we have to be stuck with a levy based system, NZAAA argues that it is those people who should be paying.

Just an extra 4 cents from them would see Ag Aviation funded, as opposed to those in our productive sector – the farmers – funding it. Yet CAA argues that cross subsidisation of sectors is no longer to be tolerated as it’s unfair.

It seems to NZAAA that this thinking is consistent with city dwellers who have no understanding of what makes the NZ economy tick. So they’ve got it wrong.

It seems that there is quite a bit of apathy about CAA’s proposal to change the way it is funded and what this means for ag. In the December Newsletter we wrote: “If you have been reading your mail you will by now know that CAA is planning to levy Ag Operators $1.00 per tonne including GST for every tonne of solids or liquids applied. For some fixed wing operators this will amount to $50 per hour or $25K per aircraft per year. NZAAA has met with CAA and asked why a Government department should be funded by the farming sector. We also need to know what the alternatives are. This is just another tax on our primary producers. Yes the proposal means that operators will get their audit costs hugely reduced but an audit might cost $5K and if you run a couple of fixed wing aircraft you could be looking at $50K per annum under the proposed levy. We think it’s outrageous and we’ve told CAA that. Tell us what you think.”

Women in ag aviation Joelize Friedrichs — Brazil

by Gina Hickmann Continuing with the history of women agricultural pilots, AgAir Update’s Brazilian representative, Gina Hickmann, asked Joelize Franciele Friedrichs to tell her story.

“My name is Joelize Friedrichs, but everybody knows me as Jo. I am 26 years old and I’m from Não-Me-Toque, a city in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul state (RS).

My aviation career began in 2007 at the Aero Club of Carazinho, RS. Unlike most, flying was not a childhood dream. My first contact with airplanes was when I discovered the flying club, after instructors there made a presentation at my high school.

My parents took me to the Aero Club where we made an introductory flight and in that moment I was sure this was what I wanted to do in my life. I started the Private Pilot course, which I finished in late 2008, flying slowly, because despite my parents paying for my training, financial conditions did not allow many flight hours per month.

After completing the Private Pilot course, I started working on my commercial pilot’s license. After a few flight hours, I incurred more financial issues. Then, I learned about an opportunity to fly in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso (MT), and went there. I worked carrying bags, cleaning aircraft, fueling, and in return, whenever possible I flew as copilot on planes based there where I completed the hours needed for my Commercial Pilot’s License and MultiEngine and Instrument ratings.

After a few months, I was hired as a copilot for a transport company, WDA Air Taxi. I worked there for about a year and then had an opportunity to return to

the Aero Club of Carazinho to be a multiengine instructor. So, I returned to the Aero Club in Rio Grande do Sul. I gave instruction for a while. During that time, I came in contact with agricultural aviation, meeting many friends who were already agricultural pilots. I attended CAVAG (ag-pilot) classes at the flying club. I received encouragement from a great teacher, Dalton Schlichting, at that time president of the flying club and also an agricultural pilot. In September 2012, I completed the CAVAG in Carazinho’s Aero Club.

I made the decision to use the training from CAVAG. I wanted to have control over these powerful aircraft, flying low with a heavy load. I wanted to learn to have the ability that agricultural pilots with these unique aircraft.

Soon I found an ag-pilot seat and now I am flying my fourth season at Precisão Aero Agricultural based at Catalão, Goiás Brazil.

I came from a farming family. I was already familiar with agricultural, but I had concerns about flying over the very large farms. At first I was afraid to be responsible for all the aerial application of a farm, but over time I learned and became more confident.

The main crops that I fly over are soybeans and corn. But I have flown over sugar cane and orange groves in São Paulo state. These were difficult areas to fly and taught me a lot, both to improve my flying skills and to respect the airplane.

I believe the rewards that agricultural aviation give me, besides the financial part, is the satisfaction of seeing the results of a good application where pests have been eliminated, the crop is

Joelize Friedrichs protected and the farmer is satisfied.

As a warning, I suggest something that I told myself everyday before starting the plane: Forget what is outside the cockpit and focus on the flight and the application. Always keep your head flying ahead of the plane.

Speaking from personal perspective, I am a little shy. I expect very positive results from the things I do. As a hobby, I am now training Laço Comprido, a typical “gaúcho” sport involving horses, supported by my boyfriend.

People ask me a lot if I am afraid, because the profession has a slightly higher risk than other professions. Sometimes I’m afraid, especially when I have to fly in not so favorable weather conditions such as a strong wind, fog or excessive heat. But, I also have a lot of faith and respect for the aircraft. So far, God has blessed me and I am very happy with what I do.

In the future, I hope to fly a turbine agplane. That is something I have as my main objective now.

Mystery aircraft identified

Noorduyn Norseman

Notes from Graham Syphers.— “Barney Mills loads Scotty in his Noorduyn Norseman in Scone, NSW Australia. Pay and Williamson Air Services, 1965. Agpilots were paid a bonus on how many tonnes were spread. This magnificent Canadian bush machine could carry 28 hundredweight (cwt/long UK) at a time, roughly one and a half tonnes (3,138 pounds). A Cessna 180 had a maximum of 12 cwt (1344 pounds) and an AgWagon a maximum of 14-16 cwt (15681792 pounds).

Colin Pay had bought Gibbes Sepik Airways’ Norsman fleet from New Guinea.

The aircraft were considered time expired.

Fitting metal-clad bellies, metal under the tailplane and overhauled radials, they flew thousands of hours more.”

AT-504: Learn and earn. With side-by-side cockpit seating and 485-gallon capacity, the AT-504 is a great way to train new ag pilots and earn while they learn. Powered by the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34AG turbine engine, you’ll get working speeds and performance like the tried and true AT-502B. And when the training day is done, you’ll see that it was productive workday, too. Wells Fargo financing for qualified buyers is available; just visit with your Air Tractor dealer.

2013 AT-504. Clean, Canadian aircraft purchased for the 2014 season. Only 335 hrs total time airframe and engine.

AT-502B: More performance; more profit potential. With Air Tractor’s AT-502B there’s plenty of power and a big, 500gallon payload to please both pilot and operator. The Pratt & Whitney PT6A34AG turbine engine delivers efficient and effective performance that shortens ferry times and reduces takeoffs and landings.

Since 1987 the AT-502 series has set the standard as the industry’s most popular ag plane. You can own one with attractive financing options from Wells Fargo. Talk to your Air Tractor dealer.

AT-802: Capacity that creates profits. An 800-gallon hopper, zippy 190 mph ferry speeds, and greater working capacity than any other ag aircraft on the market - the AT-802 is simply a hoss. With the AT-802 you’ll ferry faster, spray more fields and do bigger jobs all in one load. That’s production that only Air Tractor can offer you. Visit with your Air Tractor dealer about the AT-802. And ask about special Air Tractor financing now available from Wells Fargo for qualified buyers.

AT-402B: Go turbo. The AT-402B, with the time-proven Pratt & Whitney PT6A15AG turbine engine, offers impressive climb rates and overall performance. The AT-402B’s light handling characteristics help reduce pilot fatigue – while delivering the payload, speed and productivity that helps create profits. Visit your Air Tractor dealer and learn how Wells Fargo’s financing options for qualified buyers make owning an Air Tractor more affordable than you might think.

The big 630-gallon payload moves you up to high volume production, reduces loads, saves time and helps trim operating expenses compared with two smaller planes. The AT-602 is the ideal solution for 5-gallon work on center-pivot circles. Step it up with an AT-602. Visit your Air Tractor dealer.

AT-401B: Power and payload at the right price. Step up to a highly productive, low maintenance piston engine ag plane for a price that makes solid business sense. The economical 400-gallon capacity AT-401B has a piston-engine price tag, plus all the reliability, durability, safety features and flying ease that make Air Tractor the industry leader.
