Reduced Thrust Take-Off Certified for Sukhoi Superjet 100
November 14, 2014
Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company received a Supplemental Type Certificate, which allows Sukhoi Superjet 100 to perform reduced thrust takeoff.
Operating mode with engines working with a reduced engine speed and lower turbine gas temperature allows to reduce engine load and to extend engine lifetime, so this, in turn, minimizes aircraft maintenance cost.
Reduced thrust takeoff mode on Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft can be used in the airports with runway exceeding 2000 meters in length.
Being a part of Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft development program, tests have been conducted on a prototype 95003 in Ramenskoe aerodrome, in Zhukovsky, near Moscow. During the tests, 22 flights with different levels of thrust have been performed.
Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company constantly works on expanding operating conditions of Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft and improving aircraft type design.
A large-scale certification program has been carried out in 2014, and as a result, the Aviation Register of Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC AR) has confirmed the possibility of SSJ100 aircraft to perform autoland under CAT IIIa. IAC AR has also issued Supplemental Type Certificate for expansion of operating conditions regarding performance of flights under RNAV1 and P-RNAV, crosswind limitation on runways with low Mu-factor, as well as regarding aircraft operation on narrow 30-meter-wide runways.
Airbus Helicopters entrega el quinto EC145 a la Policía Nacional del Perú
November 14, 2014
Lima, 13 de Noviembre de 2014 – El Ministerio del Interior del Perú ha recibido el quinto y último helicóptero EC145, destinado a la modernización de la flota de la Policía Nacional. La entrega oficial de la aeronave se realizó en las instalaciones de la Dirección Nacional de la Aviación Policial en el Callao en presencia de autoridades peruanas y francesas, como el Ministro de Interior del Perú, Sr. Daniel Urresti y el General de las Fuerzas Aéreas de la Gendarmería Nacional Francesa, Sr. Daniel Leimbacher, así como de representantes de Airbus Helicopters.
En diciembre de 2012, La Policía Nacional del Perú eligió a Airbus Helicopters como socio en el proceso de renovación de su flota de helicópteros. El primer EC145 llegó a Lima en noviembre del 2013 y en menos de un año se han entregado los cinco helicópteros adquiridos por el gobierno peruano. Las cuatro aeronaves iniciales han acumulado en este tiempo más de 800 horas de vuelo en una gran variedad de misiones demostrando su polivalencia y eficacia operativa en todo el terreno peruano. Así, además de las operaciones de vigilancia y apoyo en misiones de seguridad ciudadana, la Policía Nacional del Perú ha encontrado en ellos un fiel y eficaz aliado en la lucha contra la minería ilegal en la región de Madre de Dios, en la frontera con Bolivia y Brasil. Asimismo, los helicópteros han participado con éxito en más de 20 misiones de rescate marítimo y evacuación aeromédica en Lima y Callao.
Con la adquisición de los nuevos EC145, la Policía Nacional del Perú se beneficia de un programa de transferencia de tecnología que ya ha conllevado la capacitación de más de 14 pilotos y 20 técnicos. Además, desde que en Octubre del 2013, los Ministros del Interior peruano y francés firmaran un acuerdo de cooperación en materia de seguridad y defensa, la Policía Nacional del Perú y la Gendarmeria Nacional francesa, operadores ambos del EC145, colaboran en un intercambio operacional para profundizar en el empleo táctico de estas aeronaves de última generación. En este marco, la PNP participó hace sólo unas semanas en un programa de rescate en alta montaña en los Alpes franceses.
Helicóptero de referencia en el segmento de los bimotores ligeros, el EC145 es uno de los helicópteros más reconocidos a nivel mundial para misiones de seguridad pública y apoyo a la población. Con más de 500 unidades entregadas hasta la fecha, esta aeronave es utilizada por las fuerzas policiales de 26 países, como Francia, donde la Gendarmerie Nationale tiene en servicio más de 15 helicópteros de este modelo. El éxito del EC145 abarca también el continente Americano, empezando por Estados Unidos, donde el gobierno decidió adquirir 345 unidades de este helicóptero para remplazar los UH-1H del Ejército. En América Latina, el EC145 participa en misiones policiales y de servicio público de varios países como Argentina, Bolivia y Brasil.
Potente y versátil, el EC145 de Airbus Helicopters se adapta perfectamente a las condiciones operativas del Perú ya que permite afrontar con éxito misiones en condiciones extremas tanto a nivel de mar, como en la selva o en el exigente Altiplano. Los EC145 de la Policía del Perú pueden transportar hasta 10 pasajeros, tienen una capacidad de carga de más de 1,7 toneladas y un alcance de 370 millas náuticas. Poseen también sistemas de altavoz, sirena y radios multi-frecuencia para interconexión radial y uno de ellos cuenta con una cámara infrarroja de última generación. Esta nueva cámara de alta definición, única en el país, permite la transmisión de imágenes en directo a la central del comando o a las fuerzas en tierra, optimizando las misiones de vigilancia y seguridad ciudadana.
Airbus Helicopters delivers the fifth EC145 to Peru’s National Police
November 14, 2014
Lima, November 13, 2014 – Peru’s Ministry of the Interior has now added the final EC145 helicopter to the modernized fleet of the National Police of Peru (PNP). The formal handover at the Police Aviation Unit facilities in El Callao was attended by both Peruvian and French officials, including Peru’s interior minister Daniel Urresti and Daniel Leimbacher, chief of the Central Air Command of the French Gendarmerie, along with representatives of Airbus Helicopters.
Five EC145s have been delivered in less than one year since the PNP first selected Airbus Helicopters as its partner to renew its helicopter fleet. The first four aircraft have already accumulated more than 800 flying hours in that time, performing a wide range of missions that demonstrate the EC145’s versatility and operational efficiency throughout Peru’s territory. In addition to surveillance operations and support for parapublic missions, the EC145 has proven itself to be a reliable and effective ally in the PNP’s fight against illegal mining in the Madre de Dios region on the border with Bolivia and Brazil. The helicopters have also successfully completed more than 20 sea rescue and MEDEVAC missions in Lima and Callao.
The deal for these new EC145s includes a technology transfer program that has already provided training for more than 14 pilots and 20 technicians of the PNP. In addition, the PNP and the French Gendarmerie – both operators of the EC145 – have been engaged in an operational exchange program to provide in-depth training on the tactical uses of these next-generation aircraft. This exchange is part of the cooperation agreement signed between the French and Peruvian interior ministries in the field of security and defense in October 2013. Just a few weeks ago, the PNP participated in high-mountain rescue exercises in the French Alps as part of this program.
The EC145 is the helicopter of choice in the light twin-engine category and is renowned worldwide for police and public service missions. With more than 500 units delivered to date, this helicopter serves in the police fleets of 26 countries – including France, where the Gendarmerie Nationale operates more than 15 units. The EC145 has also been a major success in the Americas, starting with the United States, where the government purchased 345 units to replace the Army’s UH-1Hs. In Latin America, the EC145 performs police and public service missions in a number of countries including Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil.
Powerful and versatile, the Airbus Helicopters EC145 is perfectly suited to the operating conditions in Peru, ensuring the success of missions in extreme conditions whether at sea level, in the jungle or up on the demanding Andean Plateau. With a payload capacity of more than 1.7 tons and a range of 370 nautical miles, the PNP’s new EC145s can transport up to 10 passengers. They are also equipped with PA systems, a siren and multi-frequency radios for hub-and-spoke communications. One of the helicopters features a state-of-the-art infrared camera. This new high-definition camera, the only one in the country, will transmit live images to the command center or ground units, which will optimize surveillance and civil security missions.
