BAE Systems to promote Hawk for Eurotraining, US Air Force deals

BAE Systems has been given an unexpected opportunity to contest the main element of the nine-nation Advanced European Jet Pilot Training (AEJPT), or Eurotraining requirement.

The company recently received a request for information linked to its Hawk advanced jet trainer design, which had previously been excluded from consideration due to a lack of UK participation in the long-running Eurotraining effort.









T-38 replacement contract could dramatically expand
The US Air Force is studying expanding the T-X aircraft requirement beyond replacing the Northrop T-38 to encompass all fixed-wing training aircraft.

Gen Stephen Lorenz, chief of the Air Education Training Command (AETC), confirms the accelerated T-X competition may also replace lead-in trainers for the USAF's airlift crews, not just fighter and bomber pilots.

La ampliación se produce a cuatro semanas después de que la Junta de Castilla y León haya decidido destinar 928.570 euros dentro de la inversión prevista por Aresa de 10.317.453 euros para expansión de la capacidad productiva de la planta, con una creación de 20 nuevos puestos de trabajo.

La apuesta de Aresa por la línea productiva es clara. En concreto, va a ganar un 200% de sala limpia, al pasar de los 2.000 metros cuadrados actuales, a los casi 6.000 metros que sumará con los 3.961 útiles que se comenzarán a construir en breve.



AirWorthines Directive: Debonding in Augusta Helicopters




AD NUMBER: 2009-19-51

MANUFACTURER: Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Model AB139 and AW139
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2009-19-51

SUMMARY: This Emergency Airworthiness Directive (AD) is prompted by a mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) AD issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community. EASA had received previous reports of evidence of debonding on some tailboom panels of the specified Agusta model helicopters. This condition, if not corrected, could result in failure of a tailboom and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. The latest EASA AD requires repetitive inspections of the tailboom panels at closer intervals. In case of debonding, the EASA AD requires you to mark the debonded areas for identification, contact the manufacturer for instructions, and follow their corrective actions. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of these same type designs. Therefore, this AD requires inspecting the tail panels for debonding.
