H Reality Simulator is based on the new generation of Thales products designed to maximize the benefits of education and availability, while providing ease of installation, operation and maintenance. Thales has developed the system for this special version for Dauphin N3/N3 + in conjunction with Eurocopter, which has provided the software for helicopter flight simulation.
The simulator has been installed in the Training Centre of Heli-Union, a leader in helicopter transportation services to offshore platforms in Angouleme, France.
According to European standards JAR / EASA approvals FTD Level 3 and Level B FFS allow this next generation system used in the instruction to obtain type ratings for helicopters, as well as periodic training required for annual renewal licensing of pilots. The simulator can be used instead of a real helicopter to conduct proficiency checks of operators (PCOs). Can also be included as part of a training program for beginners aimed at obtaining the commercial pilot helicopter (CPL H), or pilot license airline transport helicopter (ATPL H), including enabling for instrument flight (IR) and proficiency checks (PC). Due to its ability to reconstruct flight environments, can also be used for online verification.
In addition, this tech simulator will increase the capacity of Heli-Union to instruct and train pilots, especially for onshore and offshore, to support exploration programs and production of oil or gas, which are some of the most demanding in the field of civil aviation.
As Europe's leading simulation solutions, Thales has supplied over 110 simulators for helicopters to customers in over 25 countries around the world

SAR Training, EMS and offshore operations, among other missions of the simulator

El nuevo simulador se empleará en los entrenamientos para misiones específicas como SAR (búsqueda y salvamento), EMS (servicios médicos de emergencia) y operaciones en alta mar, y ofrece numerosas posibilidades de reconfiguración. Por ejemplo, la cabina del Dauphin N3/N3+ se puede sustituir por la de otro tipo de helicóptero, como la del EC135, y el panel de instrumentos se puede reconfigurar para instrumentos analógicos o digitales, opciones de equipamiento, etc.

The place where the dead return wing aircraft life

The place where the dead return wing aircraft life

(CNN) - wingless fuselages, cockpits and wings worn unemployed are scattered around the large hangar at Tarmac AEROSAVE, where old planes meet their end.But amid this scene of industrial destruction stands the triumph of reincarnation for recycling, says Sebastien Medan, head of dismantling the French company."We got a plane old ... and this work is complete when all the material of the ship can be reused," says Medan.AEROSAVE Tarmac has been dismantling disused aircraft based in Aerospace Valley-a site of French engineering firms flight near Tarbes, in the south of the country since its creation in 2009. Although the company's core business is the storage of aircraft, 12 aircraft and has broken completely.The pieces salvaged during this process are reused. The landing gear and flaps are modified to be resettled in new aircraft while flying booths are used for flight simulators. All parties are kept may be sold by airplane manufacturers. What remains, however, is shredded and sold by Tarmac."The percentage of a plane that can be recycled is about 87% and actually hope to increase that to 90%," says Medan.Airbus parent company Tarmac, predicts that more than 9,000 aircraft will be decommissioned over the next 20 years, so there is a clear need for old aircraft are processed in an environmentally friendly manner.By stripping their most valuable models, Tarmac also believes that recycling of aircraft can be transformed into a lucrative business and a process to do that airlines seeking to implement to remove their old models.The cost of saving a disused aircraft can be up to $ 25,000 per month. Thwart a plane and extract cost-reusable objects in a lump sum, between 125,000 and $ 185,000."All the stuff we get from the aircraft can be used in another industry, especially in aeronautics," said Medan.Although savings and process efficiency are evident, Tarmac also believes that dismantling old planes allowed engineers to design more efficient aircraft in the future. By understanding which parts are eroded, decay or become damaged over time, can transfer that knowledge to new designs."We are collecting the components of the aircraft to evaluate the features and capacity in terms of fatigue and pressure," says Olivier Malavallon, director of business development and change in Airbus."It is critical in terms of feedback to better design and designers to provide them guidance on how to optimize the assembly."At this time, the Tarmac base in southern France can accommodate up to 20 aircraft at the time, the company says. On the border with Spain is preparing a new site from one of the subsidiaries of the company. Will accommodate up to 200 aircraft at a time, and there may phase between 30 and 40 models each year.According Malavallon, this expansion will allow Tarmac prepare for the upcoming arrival of a large number of aircraft that will be removed. Also ensure that the aircraft will be disposed of in a manner that is efficient and takes advantage of valuable materials.Instead of going "from cradle to grave", says Malavallon, the aircraft will "of the

Entrepreneurs with open skies

This is the team of the company Nediar

If financial statements Nediar could quantify the passion for what you do, surely that would be the greatest asset of the creators of this company from ground services to the aviation industry to take off from the Venture Park (Park E) .
At a small table in the back of this space that became the last 5 years in business incubator highly innovative, are its two creators to end a meeting.
José David Ospina Restrepo (General manager, age 30, scholar) and Oscar David Henao Merchan (Project Director, 29, teacher and learner), cross thoughts and review of technical words loaded jobs, names of rare device, called by initial systems . And they do it with a taste reminiscent of childhood best friends playing together to recreate a world where nothing is impossible.
Both graduated from the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana are proof of that in the past year and a half, since they decided to start their own business to put grounding products and services that loomed behind time needed for a growing sector in Colombia and Latin America.
"The airlines pay much abroad by train their flight crews, import equipment and parts that are expensive when you can develop here with innovation, quality and value," says Joseph.
Raising FlightThat vision of the business was awarded last year's contest and E Park in November went to have their homes by location, to occupy an office in this initiative at the University of Antioquia and the Municipality of Medellin, located in the neighborhood Sevilla.
"The first great victory of Nediar was being selected to be in Park E, because we have given much support to organize our administrative management, financial, sharpen the business vision and are an endorsement of credibility with customers," said Oscar David , also a teacher and tries to show his students with passion you can achieve everything.
Today's team is composed Nediar and four engineers and an aircraft maintenance technologist working in security-related solutions, reliability and training for commercial and military aviation.
That means we are able to do what any mortal would assume that is unique to large companies in developed countries: think from the assembly of a flight simulator which reproduces ground situations and in normal operation of an aircraft emergency, through technological solutions that make more efficient aircraft maintenance, to make tools to facilitate the air operation.
And all that saw it possible Joseph and David when they met their graduate study in aeronautical engineering, accounting work experience of each sector, sharing a passion for flying wild and daring to take together the step of moving from employees to employers .
The first flightsThe first major challenge came when Indaer Nediar, a local repair station, hired in June 2011 to automate the electronic systems of a simulator for flight attendants in Antioquia Aviation Academy.
That project was completed in February and was the letter to open doors with domestic airlines and even international. In fact, traveled to a neighboring country where one of the largest airlines in the region were charged with the development of several innovative solutions, from which other projects may be offered.
"We are excited because the results of our work is beginning to look abroad and are the platform for future business with only one and half years leading the company," enthuses Joseph.
At the same time, working for a partnership between the Genesis Incubator and the base of the Air Force in Rionegro, to provide engineering support to various metalworking companies in eastern Antioquia in the substitution of imports of parts and appliances.
Innovate together'We are convinced that innovation is not a solo work in our environment can only innovate together, we believe in partnership and we have seen the results, "added Oscar.
But the challenges are many for this young technology-based company that has begun to cultivate a pulse credibility made to work and highly innovative businesses that do not materialize in the overnight.
Nediar entrepreneurs are aware that achieving this trip cruise requires daily learning to overcome the technical idea and plays the routes needed for marketing, what they have learned much from the hands of business managers Park E.
"We continue to grow, more customers, develop more products, more jobs and we are clear that we must leave the park so that other companies have the opportunity to incubate here," concludes Joseph with the conviction that their desire to undertake and has the open skies.

Andalusian Technology to train air traffic controllers in Afghanistan

Andalusian Technology to train air traffic controllers in Afghanistan

GECI Spanish company located in Technology Park Bay of Cádiz, El Puerto de Santa Maria, has undertaken an interesting project after winning an international competition organized by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation), an agency owned by Montreal-based United Nations.The project involved the creation of a simulator for the training of air controllers in Afghanistan, a contract that has been channeled through the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Afghanistan (MoTCA) and includes the supply and installation of the latest technology available for training air traffic controllers.During yesterday morning were tested at the factory of the simulator, with software created by British company Micronav.As explained yesterday the Spanish GECI vice president, Daniel Jimenez Randell, "thanks to this project, the Afghan Ministry will have a technologically advanced system that will allow them to conduct training programs for their drivers for seamless air traffic management in airports in this country. "The simulator is based on a three-dimensional modeling of airports Afghans in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif, although physically located in the premises of the Kabul airport dedicated to the Civil Aviation institute in that country.The system is fully assembled at the plant in the port and after the last tests performed yesterday, next week will start to dismount and begin the task of packing, so the team can be in Afghanistan by the first week of June. From that date, company technicians based in El Puerto will travel to Afghanistan to ride there the simulator, a task that will run for about three weeks.The contract is around $ 1.5 million. Among other things have been taken into account the specific characteristics of the destination country, where there are frequent power outages, so the equipment is designed so you can have a range of food close to eight hours.The project manager, engineer Antonio Calvo, he was proud that yesterday Andalusian technology is so appreciated by an organization such as ICAO.The project has involved not only in the construction of the simulator, but also includes the necessary auxiliaries, such as the provision of furniture, a communications system, the power supply and air conditioning. The project also includes the form of 'turnkey', ie, offering not only the installation and commissioning, but also the training of personnel who will use it in the destination country.During yesterday's test session was attended by various agencies responsible for aviation in Venezuela and Bolivia, GECI regular customers as well as other countries such as Cuba, Vietnam, Angola and Mozambique, among others.



Austral announces its first manned only by women

Few remaining exclusively male territory. And the commercial aviation is no exception. This morning depart from Jorge Newbery Airport Austral flights to Salta composed of a 100% female crew: from pilots to board staff. The flight commander will Maluff Ana, accompanied by Nuria Estebez passenger, while the flight attendant will be Ana Maria Sabljak and auxiliary Mariana Bringas Agherreberi Burguete and Florence, the company said yesterday.

The departure of the Embraer 190 aircraft is scheduled for 11:20, with arrival in Salta at 13:35, and the return from the northern capital at 14:15 with arrival at 16:10 Aeroparque. Since the airline confirmed that the flight is full, no seats available.

For Southern will be a historic flight as it will be the first time an aircraft of the airline will be manned only by women. But not the first in Argentina, in April last year, Aerolíneas Argentinas had already dispatched a flight with a crew of five women. It was the number 1498 which left Buenos Aires to Jujuy with 96 passengers on board.

The addition of female crews on commercial flights is a growing trend in the world of aviation, which has already been implemented even in companies in the region. One of the pioneer was the Mexican Volaris in 2008. The budget airline then joined all the women who made up his squad in a single crew to fly the routes Toluca Toluca and Toluca Mérida-Hermosillo-Toluca.

Uruguay's Pluna is closest example: last year, the airline launched a flight commanded by women only to meet the targets Montevideo-Buenos Aires and Porto Alegre, Campinas-Bombardier aircraft.

And although it is still a male-dominated profession, in 2010 the Brazilian Tam and Gol already had about 50 women in positions of pilots and copilots.

Globally, Air France is one company that operates more domestic and international flights exclusively manned by women. The French company also has a tradition to schedule a series of "female flight" every March 8 to mark International Women's Day. These flights departing from Paris to various destinations such as Beijing, Tokyo, Bombay, Miami and New York. Air France has 4,200 pilots, of whom 7% are women. And there are aircraft commanders women in all types of aircraft including the Airbus A380. This initiative female spaceflight program was later imitated by KLM and Alitalia.

Airlines worldwide are encouraged to integrate their flight crews only with women, is also Air India, which it did in 2010 with four connections, including a nonstop flight between Mumbai and New York. JAL Japan also formed all-female team to operate a Boeing 767 from the airport in Tokyo and Kumamoto (southern Japan). JAL began to have female staff in the areas of mechanics in the late? 80 and began to call women pilots in 1994

A driving simulator to achieve new heights of realism

aceALVARO IBÁÑEZ 'ALVY' (Special RTVE.es) 30/05/2012The company automated control systems and testing Saginomiya is developing a car simulacón system in order to more faithfully reproduce even the feeling of driving and vehicle behavior while driving.
It is currently used simulators of this type for all types of transport: cars, airplanes, boats and even trains. Usually used in training and in diseñoo phases. All include big screens showing the simulation of what happens outside the vehicle, the most advanced, such as cars, planes and also incorporate some mechanical systems, called actuators, that move the vehicle simulated external conditions, to provide an idea of ​​how the physical response according to the movements they perform.
Simulating the physical laws
The creators of specialized software, as it could be for some racing games, always strive for "simulating the physical laws" so that the behavior of the vehicle, and other objects you have on stage is as real as possible . However, it is difficult to pass a certain limit.
To test their systems Saginomiya uses two types of simulation systems: one is a car "real" that incorporates sensors, in order to understand how it "feels" the driver steering response as you move . With this may be better adapted during the design and manufacture components such as steering or suspension of vehicleÕs. The objective of this system design is simply more quickly and efficiently the final product.
The other system is more advanced and includes actuators that move and shake the vehicle, tilting and causing it to vibrate as the details of the driving simulation: if there is a bump in the road, slippery terrain, obstacles ... the driver perceives all in the form of real-time movements. Interestingly, unlike the games, to decide what happens next used the same models and answers that have been used for the simulations for the design of the car.
The result is a much more realistic simulation, which is not limited only to "graphics engine physics and gravity" of the software but also the data obtained in response to a normal driving during testing. When in operation, this dynamic system plays in real time, without delay and with better quality of response, what really suceder'a road, using both models programmed into the software as real reactions of drivers.

AIRCRAFT OF WORLD WAR I

AIRCRAFT OF WORLD WAR I

When World War I began in 1914, the main objective of military aircraft was the reconnaissance. The British BE 2, of which BE 2B was a variant, it was appropriate for this task was very stable in flight, allowing the occupants to the study of the ground, take pictures and make notes. The BE 2 was also one of the first aircraft to drop bombs. One of the biggest problems for designers of aircraft during the war was the mounting of machine guns. In aircraft propeller assembly having fontal, the trigger field was restricted by the impeller and other parts of the aircraft.
The problem was solved in 1915 by German Anthony Fokker, who designed a switch mechanism that prevented the machine gun fire when the propeller blade passing in front of the barrel. The German LVG CVI had a machine gun on the right front of the engine, also a machine gun in rear cockpit and the ability to bomb. He was one of the most versatile aircraft of the war.
