A An is taken to be approved if: • It is automatically activated on impact and A December 1947: Bobby and Jean Gibbes bought their first Auster J5 VH-KSD to transport supplies to their trade stores in Papua New Guinea. By January 1948, Gibbes Sepik Airlines was established. A total of ten Austers serviced the demand for charters; these were replaced by Norsemen to increase cargo capacity. The airline was sold in November 1958 to Mandated Airlines, following an accident near Mendi which resulted in the first death on a Gibbes Sepik flight (see picture below). ELT ELT is authorised by the FAA in accordance with TSO C91a or TSO C126, or CASA is satisfied that it meets these requirements; or it was fitted before 5 December 1996 and is authorised by the FAA in accordance with TSO C91 or CASA is satisfied that it meets these requirements. • It is a portable emergency position indicating radio beacon that meets the requirements of MS 241, MS 309, AS/NZS 4330:1995 or AS/NZS 4280: 1995; or it is a portable ELT that meets the requirements of TSO C91, TSO C91a or TSO C126. • An ELT (portable or otherwise) is not approved if it is fitted with a lithium-sulphur dioxide battery that does not meet the requirements of TSO C97. 25 years ago 15 November 1972: A hijacker aboard an Ansett Fokker F-27 flight threatened the flight crew as the aircraft approached Alice Springs Airport. Negotiations began after the aircraft had safely landed. The hijacker was shot as police attempted to overpower him; a policeman was also seriously injured in the struggle. The incident was the catalyst for increased security arrangements implemented by December 1972. The International Terminal Building at Kingsford Smith (Sydney) airport, for example, separated passengers from members of the general public and by December 1973 metal detectors and baggage checks had been introduced.

The defendant exceeded his flight time by conducting a charter flight involving 12 hours flight time in one 24 hour period and attempted to conceal the excess flight time by falsely making a log book entry indicating that the flight had been conducted over a 48 hour period. Fined $750 with 35 days imprisonment in default and ordered to pay $55 court costs. December 1997 • The defendant modified and flew a helicopter, resulting in damage to a building, while not holding either a pilot licence or an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence. The defendant was convicted of carrying out unauthorised maintenance of an aircraft under section 20AB(2) of the Civil Aviation Act 1988; negligent operation of an aircraft under section 20A(2) of the Civil Aviation Act 1988; and starting the engine of an aircraft when not permitted under Civil Aviation Regulation 230(1). Fined a total of $1,450 and ordered to pay $112 court costs. • A commercial pilot was convicted of: failure to provide notification of a major defect under paragraph 50(a) of the Civil Aviation Regulations; failure to record a major defect on the maintenance release under Civil Aviation Regulation 51A; failure to comply with a maintenance direction under sub-regulation 38(3) of the Civil Aviation Regulations; and failure to record the time-in-service of an aircraft on the maintenance release under Civil Aviation regulation 43B. The defendant engaged the services of a motor mechanic to repair an aircraft at a remote locality and failed to record time-in-service while travelling to obtain quotes for repairs to the aircraft. In the meantime, the defendant had also sold the aircraft without adjusting the total time in the aircraft log book. Fined a total of $4,000 and ordered to pay $98.50 court costs with 5 months imprisonment in default. • A self-employed Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer was convicted of making a false statement in respect of a maintenance release under Civil Aviation Regulation 43. Fined $3,000 and ordered to pay $51 court costs with 6 months to pay. January 1998 • An ATPL pilot was convicted under CAR 179 of not conforming to instrument approach procedures when conducting an IFR flight.

Formerly Airservices Australia Library The Aviation Information Centre houses Australia’s most comprehensive specialist aviation collection. SERVICES TO INDUSTRY INCLUDE: Answering requests for information Loans from our extensive collection of publications from organisations such as the FAA, International Civil Aviation Organization, National Transportation Safety Board, the UK Civil Aviation Authority, JAA, ARINC and the RTCA. The Information Centre lends books and reports to industry personnel. Organisations or individuals can register with us as borrowers. Newsletters via e-mail • Just Landed (the latest titles) • Internet Review • GPS Newscan At present the Information Centre does not charge directly for its services, however, a charging structure will be implemented in March. This will allow the Centre to extend the range of services currently on offer to the industry.

Maintenance p. 40 the circuit and therefore will prevent sparking should the spanner short the terminal to another conducting surface. 6. b) Self explanatory 1.a) Both an alternator and a generator actually produce AC. In the generator this is rectified by the commutator so that the output is DC . In alternators the AC is rectified by semi-conductor diodes, mounted either internally or externally, to output DC. 2. d) Directional gyros, artificial horizons, turn coordinators and suction gauges are connected to the aircraft’s suction system and the manifold pressure gauges are connected to the engine intake manifold system. Airspeed indicators, altimeters and Rate of Climb indicators are connected to the static system. 3. d) A turn co-ordinator is really a “turn and slip” indicator with its sensitive axis offset around. 30 per cent from the horizontal. In this manner it is sensitive to roll and yaw/turn movements whereas the “turn and slip” is only sensitive to movement around the yaw/turn axis. 4. c) VOR and ILS localiser operate in the same frequency band and in most cases processing is in the same receiver. ADF, DME and ILS glideslope are all in different frequency bands and are usually processed in separate receivers. 5. a) Removing the ground lead first breaks 7. a) Since hydraulic fluid is non-compressible, and provision must be made for storing it under pressure an accumulator is used. These usually consist of steel spheres, divided into two compartments by a neoprene diaphragm or bladder. Compressed air fills one chamber. As the pump builds up pressure in the system, fluid enters the fluid chamber and moves the diaphragm, further compressing the air. This holds pressure on the hydraulic fluid. 8. b) Piston engine exhaust valves are subject to extreme temperatures during normal engine operation. Heat transfer is used to provide cooling of the valves; the effectiveness of the heat transfer determines the life of the valve. Sodium filled valve stems are used in certain exhaust valves as a means of improving heat transfer. The heat is transferred from the valve stem through the valve guide to the air cooled cylinder head. While oil lubrication of the valve components does provide some cooling effect, heat transfer is the prime means of cooling exhaust valves. Correct leaning is also critical in maintaining cylinder head temperatures within published limits and therefore prolonging valve life. Pick the pic p. 41 1.1964. 2.
