August 5, 2020 - by Cogeco News

13 positive employees and nearly 70 workers in total find themselves in quarantine at Airbus following a visit by a delegation from Egyptair (at Airbus A220 facility in Mirabel, Quebec, Canada)

Cogeco News has learned that the passage of a delegation from Egypt Air to the Airbus premises in Mirabel last week is responsible for an outbreak of COVID-19 cases among workers at the company.

Last Friday, Cogeco News reported that three out of 22 travelers had tested positive for the coronavirus and two employees were also affected.

Four days later, the balance sheet is revised upwards, while 13 employees are positive and nearly 70 workers are now in quarantine...

Bombardier / Spirit AeroSystems: 'Issues to be resolved' Over Belfast and Morocco Operations Sale

August 5, 2020 - by John Campbell for www.bbc.com

A number of issues are still to be resolved before the sale of Bombardier's Northern Ireland operations can be completed.

US firm Spirit AeroSystems agreed to buy the business in October 2019.

On Tuesday, Spirit's chief executive said the firm was talking to Bombardier about "the conditions needed for closure of the deal".

Tom Gentile said he continued to see the "long-term strategic value" of the purchase.

Spirit, which is based in Kansas, is a major supplier to Boeing.

He was also asked if Spirit was seeking a lower price after Bombardier recently lost a planned Airbus contract for engine covers.

Mr Gentile said they were monitoring the situation and talking to Bombardier about possible impacts....

The FAA's analysis broke the MAX safety issues into seven categories

WASHINGTON—The FAA's proposed steps for operators to clear Boeing 737 MAXs for service include separating wire bundles deemed to be noncompliant with regulations and conducting "readiness" flights to ensure the long-grounded aircraft are airworthy, a draft notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) made public Aug. 3 reveals.

The wire-bundle issue, discovered during regulators' comprehensive review of the MAX's design and certification, concerns horizontal stabilizer trim arm and control wiring that runs the length of the aircraft.

The FAA found that the wiring needs to be separated in 12 places to meet 2007 regulatory changes put in place to prevent wiring failures from creating hazards.

The agency ordered Boeing to fix the issue on new-production MAXs and...

Boeing Warns Of Forward Losses On 787, 777X Programs

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

August 5, 2020 - by Scott Hamilton for leehamnews.com

In another demonstration of the negative impact of the COVID-19 crisis, Boeing warned that two flagship airplane programs could face forward losses.

Neither the 787 nor the 777X are in forward loss positions yet. A forward loss means Boeing won't make money on the program.

Despite the 787 incurring more than US$30bn in deferred costs, Boeing hasn't taken a write down. The deferred costs have been burning off since 2015. Other programs have been subjected to forward losses, including the 747-8, VC-25 (Air Force One) and the KC-46A tanker.

But with the production reduction of the 787...

This Is The First Photo Ever Of A Stealthy Black Hawk Helicopter

Almost a decade since we learned of the stealth Black Hawks used in the Bin Laden raid, we have seen no images of them or of their lineage, until now.

Almost a decade since we learned of the stealth Black Hawks used in the Bin Laden raid, we have seen no images of them or of their lineage, until now.

We are constantly on the lookout for more details about the U.S. military's highly elusive stealthy Black Hawk helicopters, one of which famously crashed during the raid that led to the death of Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in 2011, as well as any possible predecessors that predated them.

Now, what appears to be a previously unpublished picture has come to our attention that shows a heavily modified EH-60 electronic warfare and signals intelligence variant of the Black Hawk.

It seems to be, at the very least, one of the missing links connecting the unique Black Hawk helicopters used on the Bin Laden raid and stealthy Black Hawk design concepts dating back to...

Virgin Atlantic Files For Bankruptcy as Covid Continues To Hurt Airlines

Airline seeks protection under US's bankruptcy code, allowing it to shield assets in the country

August 5, 2020 - by Dominic Rushe for www.theguardian.com

Virgin Atlantic has declared itself bankrupt and is seeking protection from creditors in the US, according to a court filing in New York on Tuesday.

The airline is seeking the protection under chapter 15 of the US bankruptcy code, which allows a foreign debtor to shield assets in the country. The announcement comes little more than a month after Virgin Atlantic announced it had secured funding to survive for another 18 months.

Virgin Atlantic flies only long-haul international routes and suspended flights in April due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The bankruptcy is the second from a Virgin...

Alaska Airlines filed notice Monday with Washington state of almost 1,600 permanent layoffs starting on Oct. 1, the day after the government's Payroll Support Program (PSP) ends.

Companywide, 4,200 employees received WARN notices or were laid off, the company said.

The local layoffs represent about 20% of the airline's employees in Washington state, and includes customer service agents, flight attendants and maintenance technicians, Alaska said. Most of those affected are from the airline's 6,000 flight attendants.

The Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) union told its members in...

August 4, 2020 - by Canadian Press for radio-canada.ca

The federal government began exploring the purchase of new search and rescue aircraft in 2002 before finally hiring Airbus in 2016 to build 16 new C295Ws (the Canadian version is CC-295) at a cost of $ 2.4 billion.

The Royal Canadian Air Force will be flying its old search and rescue planes longer than expected, as COVID-19 causes a further delay in delivery of the replacement model .

Original notes and articles

My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.
