Quebec has planned $42 million to change the cockpit and navigation tools of its CL-415 aircraft delivered from 1995. The devices must for example be equipped with GPS navigation system.

"The pieces are starting to be missing, so we had to intervene," said Pierre Dufour, Minister of Forests, Wildlife and Parks. We did not want to buy those planes. To buy only one of these planes costs $55 millions. "

Formerly produced by Bombardier and exported around the world, but the company divested itself of its tanker industry in 2016. A British Columbia company, Viking Air, bought it. This company will be responsible for the modernization of the eight Quebec government planes...

Physically, Boeing won't be able to tender all 200 of the stored airplanes and stay within the 12 month timeline. It's been widely publicized, by Wall Street analysts and others, that delivery of the stored airplanes at best will probably be a maximum of 25/mo after an initial lower rate.

Barring further issues, the FAA Type Inspection Authorization for the MAX is targeted for the second half of May, LNA learned.

This is a critical step in recertifying the airplane.

Also barring more unexpected events in a year filled with them, Boeing should resume production of the 737 MAX in May, LNA confirmed.

Major step toward recertification

The TIA "is used to authorize official conformity, airworthiness inspections, and flight tests necessary to...

Early Retirement - Boeing 747

Covid-19 not only seems to wipe out a generation of vulnerable and elderly men and women, but as a consequence of the effect it has on aviation also the vulnerable and elderly aircraft types.

We witnessed this on March 29, when two airlines early-retired their last Boeing 747s. Qantas operated VH-QEE for the last time as it arrived in Sydney from Santiago de Chile.

Phasing out the last five 747s in the fleet and replacing the quads with twin-engined Boeing 787-9s was always the plan, but Covid-19 speeded this up. Qantas is winding down international operations by some 90 percent and parks its long-haul fleet for the coming weeks. Nobody knows what happens after that, but all indications are that a return to normal will be progressive and careful. In these circumstances, efficient and thus cheaper to operate aircraft are preferred over the old generation.

Hence the retirement of the Jumbo, which has served...

On March 26, Air Canada announced it would begin donating fresh food originally intended for inflight meals to vulnerable Canadians and families in need.

Like many other airlines around the globe, Air Canada has significantly reduced and suspended many of its flight services in light of coronavirus.

However, this unexpected and unprecedented change has left many airlines with a surplus of food.

Air Canada and the Air Canada Foundation are working with Second Harvest, a Canadian Food Rescue organization, to redistribute fresh food items from Air Canada's inflight kitchens to Canadians across seven cities...

March 29, 2020 - by Jon Ostrower for www.theaircurrent.com

In almost the blink of an eye, nearly half of the world's airborne logistics engine has disappeared. With each grounded wide-body airplane, the global economy loses a way to move goods internationally by air. Cargo that once flew in the belly of those commercial passenger airliners now has to find its way to market on dedicated freighter aircraft. Those fleets are carrying the load under the constrained passenger fleets according to air traffic data and interviews with international cargo pilots.

An analysis by The Air Current of exclusive data provided by Flightradar24 for 30 air cargo carriers showed a 3% average increase in flights in March compared to January and February.

However, digging deeper, the data illustrated a sharp uptick in operations by non-scheduled air cargo carriers in the month of March. Flying by Boeing 747-8 freighters rose by 20% in March, and 31% for 747-400s as flights by carriers like Kalitta Air, AirBridgeCargo and Cargolux shot up by 46%, 41% and 31%, respectively...

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.
