13:22 - September 22, 2017 - Quebec, Montreal
**UPDATE: 9:26 - September 25, 2017 - Quebec, Montreal
Global FTV4 First Flight is now scheduled for Wednesday, September 27 **

Many are asking about the current activities at Mirabel, what's going on, what is the next CSeries to be delivered, which client, when… After consulting some of my crystal balls, walking the total airport area from one end to the other around 500 times, sending 100 drones, analyzing the air, etc... (you get the picture) here's what I got…

MSN 55014 CS300 SWISS. Expect client acceptance flight Monday or Tuesday.

MSN 55013 CS300 SWISS. Same as for 55014 but about a week later. Yes, 55014 should be delivered before 55013, it happens.

MSN 55018 CS300 Korean Air First CSeries. It will be doing its First Flight Sunday, Monday or Tuesday if you ask me. Stay tuned for some special Korean Air visitors at Mirabel CSeries assembly facilities around October 10. I got more about KAL… read lower.

MSN 55015 CS300 SWISS. First engine run this week-end with its first flight next week.

MSN 55019 CS300 Korean Air. 2^nd KAL CSeries, Is out of the paint shop just now.

MSN 55020 CS300. This one should be out of the paint shop this week-end. Painted as? Do you know? (the quiz portion of the article). ok ok, you win, it is SWISS.

MSN 55026 CS300. This is interesting. From the current activities going on around this one it seems that KAL has sold or did exchange this delivery slot/aircraft to another client. What is interesting in this? The client is neither SWISS nor airBaltic and it will have no interior installed at Mirabel. From my experience, when an aircraft leave "without interior", If that's the case, it will receive a "special interior" elsewhere; this could be the First CSeries Business Jet (CBJ), a CS300. That's NEWS if so... Am I right, am I wrong? No!!! It can't be the Government of Canada ordering 2 CS300? Oh, and It seems that MSN 55050 will have the same faith.

Avianor has completed its interior installation work with MSN 55016 CS300 airBaltic and will be returned (towed) to Bombardier. Avianor will receive MSN 55017 CS300 KAL in exchange to complete its interior too.

Canada Transportation Safety Board Says IFR Approaches Are Confusing

June 3, 2020 - by Rob Mark for flyingmag.com

Among the issues identified during a 2018 overrun investigation was, "The rules governing instrument approaches in Canada are too complex, confusing and ineffective at preventing pilots from conducting approaches that are not allowed, or banned, because they are below the minimum weather limits," according to Canada's Transportation Safety Board.

In other parts of the world, a flight crew is not allowed to begin an instrument approach if the reported weather is below published minimums for a given approach except in Canada, where "flight crews are permitted to conduct approaches in visibility conditions that are below what is published."

The TSB recently issued these findings as part of its report of a February 2018 accident in which a chartered Beech King Air A100 ran off the end of the runway at Havre-Saint-Pierre, Quebec.

The airplane was substantially damaged but...

Snowbird Crash Could Have Been Cause By Bird Strike - Investigation

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

June 1, 2020 - by Royal Canadian Air Force

Location: Kamloops, BC
Date: 17 May 2020
Status: Investigation Ongoing

On 17 May 2020 the Snowbirds air demonstration team was scheduled to depart Kamloops, BC to reposition to Comox, BC as part of Operation INSPIRATION, an operation undertaken by 431 (AD) Sqn to travel around multiple sites across Canada to support COVID-19 front line workers.

Aircraft CT114161 was #2 of a formation of two CT114 Tutor aircraft. Two occupants were on board the aircraft, the pilot and the team's public affairs officer.

After take-off aircraft CT114161 was observed gaining altitude and departing the formation. Shortly thereafter, the aircraft initiated a left turn, followed shortly by an abrupt steep nose low attitude.

Both occupants subsequently ejected from the aircraft.

A detailed analysis of video footage recovered for the investigation revealed one bird in very close proximity to the aircraft right engine intake (see red circle in picture above) during the critical phase of take-off.

The two occupants...

Bombardier Concludes Sale of the CRJ Program to Mitsubishi - Terminates CRJ Production This Year

Bombardier retains certain liabilities representing a portion of the credit and residual value guarantees totalling US$288 million

June 1, 2020 - by Bombardier

All amounts in this press release are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Bombardier (TSX: BBD.B) confirmed today the closing of the previously announced sale of the CRJ Series aircraft program to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd (MHI) (TOKYO:7011) for a cash consideration of approximately $550 million, subject to post-closing adjustments and the assumption of liabilities by MHI related to credit and residual value guarantees and lease subsidies amounting to approximately $200 million.

Under the agreement, the Corporation's net beneficial interest in the Regional Aircraft Securitization Program (RASPRO), which is valued at approximately $170 million, has been transferred to MHI.

Through this sale, MHI acquires the maintenance, support, refurbishment, marketing, and sales activities for the CRJ Series aircraft, including the related services and support network located in Montréal, Québec, and Toronto, Ontario, and its service centres located in Bridgeport, West Virginia, and Tucson, Arizona, as well as the type certificates.

Bombardier will continue to supply components and spare parts and will assemble the remaining 15 CRJ aircraft in the backlog as of March 31, 2020 on behalf of MHI until the complete delivery of the current backlog, expected in the second half of 2020.

Bombardier retains certain liabilities representing a portion of the credit and residual value guarantees totalling $288 million as of March 31, 2020. This amount is largely fixed and not subject to future changes in aircraft value and is mainly payable by Bombardier over the next four years.

"In this video you will get a full review of how pilots deal with a DUAL engine failure if it happens at a reasonably high altitude after takeoff.

The pilots in this video hits two flocks of birds at around 6200 feet after departure and elects to turn around to try and land on the opposite runway. The video will fist show you the full sequence of events, uninterrupted. After that, you will get a narrated version with all the explanations you might need. The narrated version starts at time 7:37 😀

The whole sequence is flown in a New Boeing 737 Level D flight simulator. This is a complete remake of an earlier video I did on the same topic with a lot of the unnecessary bits cut away and some extra graphics added.

Enjoy my friends!"

The latest Boeing 747-800 Model

A lawsuit filed in Seattle this week reveals damaged relations between Boeing and an important customer for its largest cargo jets.

The legal complaint has a weird twist: Russian cargo carrier Volga-Dnepr alleges that it has a binding contract to take four widebody aircraft worth more than $600 million at standard pricing and has the money to pay for them — but that Boeing refuses to deliver the jets.

"Boeing seeks to sell them to another buyer instead, while at the same time wrongfully retaining tens of millions of dollars that plaintiff has already paid to Boeing," Volga-Dnepr alleges in the complaint, which later pegs the money it has already paid at more than $146 million.

One could expect some tense negotiations...

Software Bug In Bombardier Airliner Made Planes Turn The Wrong Way

Missed approaches went left instead of right - and vice versa

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

May 29, 2020 - by Gareth Corfield for theregister.co.uk

A very specific software bug made airliners turn the wrong way if their pilots adjusted a pre-set altitude limit.

The bug, discovered on Bombardier CRJ-200 aircraft fitted with Rockwell Collins Aerospace-made flight management systems (FMSes), led to airliners trying to follow certain missed approaches turning right instead of left – or vice versa.

Missed approaches are used when pilots aren't confident that they're going to land safely. They are a published path that helps the pilot safely position the aeroplane for another attempt.

First discovered in 2017, the flaw was only apparent when pilots manually edited a pre-set "climb to" altitude programmed into a "missed approach" procedure following an Instrument Landing System approach.

It also arose if pilots used the FMS's temperature compensation function in extremely cold weather.

In theory the bug could have led to airliners crashing into the ground,...

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.
