Air Safety Week: Deplorable Safety Record of Firefighting Aircraft Scored in Report The panel was convened after two firefighting airplanes and one helicopter were involved in fatal crashes during last summer's firefighting season, which was one of the worst in drought-plagued recent years, placing a great demand on an aging fleet of aircraft. While aerial firefighting represents a more extreme form of aviation than applies for any passenger or cargo operator, the safety failings in the aerial firefighting fleet are instructive. A copy of the aerial firefighting panel's report was obtained prior to its release at a Dec. 6 press conference. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0UBT/is_46_16/ai_95281483   (1436 words)

Aircraft The vast majority of flights flown around the world each day belong to the general aviation category, ranging from recreational balloon flying to civilian flight training to business trips to firefighting to medevac flights to cargo transportation on freight aircraft. The major distinction in aircraft usage is between military aviation, which includes all uses of aircraft for military purposes (such as combat, patrolling, search and rescue, reconnaissance, transport, and training), and civil aviation, which includes all uses of aircraft for non-military purposes. Fixed-wing aircraft generally use an internal-combustion engine in the form of a piston engine (with a propeller) or a turbine engine (jet or turboprop), to provide thrust that moves the craft forward through the air. www.cooldictionary.com /words/Aircraft.wikipedia   (1759 words)

Articles - Aircraft The vast majority of flights flown around the world each day belong to the general aviation category, ranging from recreational balloon flying to civilian flight training to business trips to firefighting to medevac flights to cargo transportation on freight aircraft. Within general aviation, the major distinction is between private flights (where the pilot is not paid for time or expenses) and commercial flights (where the pilot is paid by a customer or employer). The number of lift surfaces varied in the pre-1950 period, as biplanes (two wings) and triplanes (three wings) were numerous in the early days of aviation. www.izeez.com /articles/Aircraft   (1602 words)

SWA - 2005 Fire Season Outlook A 2-category (above and below normal) probability outlook for seasonal temperature and precipitation west of 100°W longitude was produced for April, May and June (AMJ); May, June and July (MJJ); and July, August and September (JAS). It is important to note that fire season severity in this outlook can only be discussed with regard to potential, since there are a myriad of factors affecting the total number of fires, acres and firefighting resources utilized. This scenario is unlikely both in terms of climate prediction and fire season impact, however, as there is a miniscule probability of this occurring and it would take a prolonged period of warmth and dryness to melt the higher elevation snows fast enough to dramatically increase fire potential in the timber regime. www.fs.fed.us /r3/fire/swapredictive/swaoutlooks/seasonal/swa2005-fire-season-outlook.htm   (4568 words)

Development of a Minimum Performance Standard for Hand-Held Fire Extinguishers as a Replacement for Halon 1211 on Civilian Transport Category Aircraft - Storming Media The phase out of Halon 1211, as the hand-held firefighting agent of choice, for civilian transport category aircraft has necessitated the development of a Minimum Performance Standard (MPS) to evaluate replacement agents. Abstract: One or more Halon 1211 hand-held fire extinguishers are specified in Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 25.851 as a requirement on transport category aircraft with 31 or more seats. Halon 1211 has been linked to the destruction of the ozone layer and production of new Halon 1211 has been halted per the Montreal Protocol in 1993. www.stormingmedia.us /42/4208/A420804.html   (322 words)
