Chile establece normativa aeronáutica para uso de drones
April 20, 2015
Con la publicación de la DAN 151 de la Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil, el gobierno chileno estableció las condiciones bajo las cuales se podrán emplear drones en el espacio aéreo nacional, las que en lo principal obligarán a sus operadores a rendir un examen que acredite la idoneidad para operar dichos equipos y conocimientos de la reglamentación aeronáutica.
Cumplido con ellos, obtendrán una credencial y sus aeronaves quedarán registradas en la DGAC.-
Quienes no acaten dichas disposiciones, se exponen a multas dictaminadas por los organismos correspondientes.
Cabe mencionar que con ello Chile se ha adelantado a la OACI y a la FAA, las que aún no han establecido sus propias normas y reglamentos sobre la operación de drones.

Piper Aircraft Launches New M-Class Product, The Piper M600
April 20, 2015
Vero Beach, Fla., April 14, 2015 – Piper Aircraft has unveiled the newest addition to their esteemed M-Class line, the M600, a single-engine, 600 horsepower, cabin class turboprop. The Piper M600 is a significant product advancement featuring a newly designed wing, the most sophisticated Garmin technology available, furnished with a redesigned, luxurious interior. The M600 is the first single-engine turboprop to feature G3000 avionics – a touchscreen-controlled glass flight deck.
The M600 seats six and is powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A 600shp engine. The aircraft has a maximum cruise speed of 260 KTAS / 482 km/h, and has a max range of 1,300 nm / 1,852 km with a max payload of 1200 lbs. “Our customers and dealers asked for an aircraft with more payload and additional range,” said Piper President and CEO Simon Caldecott. “We listened and we delivered. The M600 encompasses the most advanced safety measures available today in the most ambitious package, with an overall value proposition that is extremely compelling to corporate flight departments and individuals alike.”
The G3000 avionics suite is the most sophisticated Garmin technology available and offers the most comprehensive, intuitive, and technologically advanced package on today’s market. With the G3000, the mechanics of flight deck management are easier and more efficient by design. Integrating control of various radios, audio and intercom channels, transponder codes, checklists, charts, mapping, flight plan entry and other functions, the Garmin GTC 570 touchscreen controller provides a centralized point of access for the majority of all avionics tuning, selection, and data inputs.
“With the advent of the M600, we have given our customers an option to travel nonstop from New York to Florida with added peace of mind afforded by the latest and most advanced safety enhancements,” added Caldecott.
The refurbished interior features ergonomically designed, aesthetically styled seats, which have been optimized for comfort. Enhanced side panels were developed for improved passenger interface. Additionally, three new color palettes have been thoughtfully created with the customer in mind. A comprehensive survey process helped identify the features and attributes that would be most appreciated by both pilots and customers.
The 2016 M600 will be available before year’s end and is listed at a competitive price of $2.82 million.
Upgraded Avionics
The M600’s new Garmin G3000 avionics suite features wide format XGA displays, as well as the latest Garmin software upgrade, along with a GFC700 autopilot with enhanced Autopilot Flight Control System (AFCS), including a number of the industry leading flight safety features:
Electronic Stability Protection (ESP)
Underspeed Protection (USP)
Coupled Go-Around
Expanded Engagement Envelope
Level Mode
Autopilot Auto-Engage
Hypoxia Recognition
Emergency Descent Mode
Master caution, master warning, gear position, gear warning incorporated in the G3000
Electronic Stability Protection
Electronic Stability Protection (ESP) helps prevent the onset of stall/spins, steep spirals, and loss-of-control conditions. This passive feature discourages aircraft operation outside the desired flight envelope. ESP functions independently of the autopilot system and only takes effect when the pilot is hand-flying the aircraft with the autopilot disengaged. It works as a soft barrier to keep the Piper M350 inside the performance envelope by automatically engaging servos to slightly correct control surface positions when the aircraft exceeds one or more flight parameters – essentially encouraging it back inside safe parameters.
Underspeed Protection (USP)
Underspeed Protection (USP) is a flight director function that reacts to underspeed conditions in a way that allows the autopilot to remain engaged, but prevents the airplane from stalling while the PFD annunciates when active.
With stall protections developed as part of the USP system, coupled go-arounds are possible without disengaging the autopilot. With this feature, the autopilot will remain engaged and fly the missed approach. If power is not added, the USP system will maintain a speed just above stall warning, adjusting airplane pitch attitude as required.
Coupled Go-Around
With stall protections developed as part of the Underspeed Protection (USP) system, coupled go-arounds are possible without disengaging the autopilot. With this feature, the autopilot remains engaged and will fly the missed approach. If power is not added, the USP system will maintain a speed just above stall warning, adjusting airplane pitch attitude as required. Pilot workload is now significantly reduced when flying a missed approach, further enhancing aircraft safety.
Hypoxia Recognition System with Automatic Descent Mode
The Hypoxia Recognition System detects pilot incapacitation as a result of hypoxia by monitoring pilot interaction with the PFD, MFD, and Autopilot Controller at altitudes above cabin 14,900 feet with the autopilot engaged. If no interaction is detected within a specified time period, this system will engage Automatic Descent Mode and bring the aircraft to a lower altitude in an effort to allow recovery from hypoxia. The M350 can safely fly itself without pilot assistance to lower altitudes in the unlikely case the pilot becomes unresponsive.
Automatic Level Mode (Blue Button)
The M350 also features an autopilot Level Mode function that, when triggered, will return the aircraft to a wings level attitude with zero vertical speed. Upon activation, Level Mode will automatically engage the flight director and autopilot functions to return the aircraft to straight and level flight. Activating Level Mode cancels all armed and active modes to return the aircraft to straight and level flight. Activating Level Mode cancels allarmed and active modes, leaving all other autopilot modes available, simply by pressing the associated mode control button.
Additional Improvements
Other major improvements for the M600 include a new digital pressurization system, which fully integrates with G3000, the Aspen EFD-1000 standby instrument, electroluminescent placards in cockpit, GTX 33 Extended Squitter Transponder, a centrally located single audio panel, USB charging ports in both the cockpit and the cabin, and an optional GTS 825 Traffic Advisory System, which coupled with the GTX 33ES, gives the aircraft ADS-B In and Out functionality. M600 aircraft are also offered with the optional Garmin GSR-56 Global Satellite Datalink Iridium Satellite Transceiver for added connectivity, making the M600 the ideal business aircraft platform.
MWH Global Engineers Featured in “Panama Canal Supersized,” a Modern Marvels Special Produced by Radiant Features Premiering on the History Channel Saturday, April 11, 2015
April 7, 2015
The Special Edition will highlight the Panama Canal expansion
Broomfield, Colo., April 7, 2015, – The 5.5 billion expansion project of the Panama Canal is revealed for the first time in “Panama Canal Supersized,” a one-hour special airing on History’s “Modern Marvels” at 9 pm ET / PT Saturday evening, April 11, 2015.
Radiant Features filmmakers Dylan Robertson and Bill Ferehawk seamlessly integrate time lapse, drone and regular photography with full immersive sound in a fast-paced, one-hour narrative. Memorable sequences include a tour through the underground channels while water rushes in, a concrete pour ten stories high, and the fabrication of the jumbo gates in Italy. The one-hour special features seven MWH engineers who describe the feats taken to build this world wonder.
“’Panama Canal Supersized’ is one of the most ambitious specials ever filmed for ‘Modern Marvels,” said John Verhoff, History Channel’s Senior Producer. “New filmmaking technologies allow this special’s production, storytelling and cinematography to soar to new heights and allows viewers to go places and see things never before possible.”
The original Panama Canal, a wonder of the modern world, was finished in 1914 after ten years in construction. The current project includes the installation of new locks that will permit ships to carry three times the volume of cargo carried today and provide a boon for U.S. port business. In August of 2014, the Panama Canal Authority celebrated the centennial of the Panama Canal’s completion. The documentary focuses on the technical engineering and design to carry the Panama Canal forward through to the next century and beyond.
MWH Global served as the lead technical designer for the third set of locks on the Panama Canal expansion project and leads the joint venture: CICP, Consultores Internacionales. The third set of locks will expand the Canal’s overall capacity to accept larger cargo ships through two lock facilities – one on the Atlantic side and another on the Pacific. Each of these locks will have three chambers that provide water saving basins.
The innovative teaming of History with a global engineering firm is an example of the creativity of Radiant Features, a non-fiction development and production studio that specializes in television, feature film and web programming. Filmmakers Dylan Robertson and Bill Ferehawk formed the company in 2008.

Brazilian Over-The-Horizon Radar Site Breaks Ground
April 7, 2015
LAAD 2015 – IACIT’s Over the Horizon (OTH) radar project broke ground this month at a coastal site in the South of Brazil. Backed up by transfer of technological knowhow from IAI-ELTA, the project is being conducted with the support of the Brazilian Navy.
After receiving the necessary clearance from local authorities, IACIT began the installation and assembly of the first Brazilian OTH. The radar system is developed with the support of the Brazilian Federal Funding Authority for Studies and Projects (FINEP) and with the technological cooperation of IAI’s ELTA Group.
The innovative surface-wave radar design, operating in the High-Frequency (HF) band, is capable of Over the Horizon surveillance for hundreds of miles at sea. The radar employs phased array technology and unique interference cancellation techniques which provide reliable and persistent coverage of the broader maritime area at all times, regardless of atmospheric conditions or sea state.
This OTH radar application focuses on the Blue Amazon Managing System (SisGAAz) and differs from conventional line of sight radars in that it uses the electromagnetic wave propagation phenomena.
These advanced maritime surveillance features are combined with IACIT’s oceanic environmental HF capacities. IACIT has been developing an HF Radar solution since 2010 for oceanic environmental weather and sea surface surveillance, as well as pollution control and to assist prediction of environmental hazards such as storms and tsunamis.
IAI has demonstrated a continuously growing involvement in the Brazilian defense market, as evidenced by the teaming agreement for investment and cooperation signed by ELTA in 2013 with electronic company IACIT.
“We view this project as an important milestone towards persistent, affordable, reliable and efficient coverage of a broad Brazilian maritime area”, said Mr. Nisim Hadas, IAI Executive VP & ELTA president. “We are excited to share our experience with our local partners in favor of Brazil’s unique defense needs.”
“The technological development process requires time and considerable financial resources, depending on the complexity of the project. The expected assimilation of technology, including by the National Defense Strategic (END), provides a significant leap for technologies already tested outside Brazil with validated solutions. In the case of a Strategic Defense Company (EED) such as IACIT, transfer of technology and know-how are mandatory to ensure continuous production in Brazil. said IACIT president Luiz Teixeira. “The OTH development has propelled IACIT’s capabilities years forward and will provide a strategic advantage for the Brazilian Navy as well as important lifesaving information for environmental control agencies”.
