Tiger grounded over 'serious' safety concerns

 

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority has suspended all Tiger Airways flights in Australia for the next week because of "serious" safety concerns.

 

Even though probably nobody cares, CASA's application to have the grounding extended was accepted, and Tiger now cannot fly in Australia until August.

 

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/07/07/3263920.htm?section=justin

 

The extension comes as safety investigators examine why a navigational database used by Tiger contained the wrong information, causing one of its planes to fly below safe altitude levels.

 

Last month a Tiger Airbus 320 flew below air traffic control's lowest safe descent altitude of 2,500 while approaching Melbourne airport.

 

The pilots failed to notice the navigational mistake when they cross-checked the navigation information with their paper version, but the plane managed to land safely after Air Traffic Control corrected the pilots.

 

A preliminary report into the Melbourne airport incident from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau has found the error was due to an incorrect altitude in the plane's commercial navigational database.

 

A similar incident also happened with a second plane.

MoGas I try to use PS as little as possible... just some cropping and maybe slight brightness or contrast adjustment. I didn't have the spoter ticket, cause I don't find it necessary at Zeltweg - good spots to shoot airplanes for free ;) I was just below the "spotter hill" some 30m left of taxiway by the fence

Typhoon will display at RIAT, next weekend.

 

TYPHOON TEST PILOT IN RARE 'WEAPONS' DISPLAY

 

 

A RARE display of the Eurofighter Typhoon's agility and engine power with a full weapon load, will be one of the highlights of next weekend's Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford.

 

The BAE Systems' development aircraft IPA 5 (Instrumented Production Aircraft), is one of five production standard aircraft fitted with instruments for dedicated flight testing and further systems development. The UK-based IPA 5 is helping develop air-to-surface and air-to-air weapons integration.

 

Most air displays are achieved by reducing fuel and weapon loads, however with this display, BAE Systems Chief Test Pilot for Combat Air, Mark Bowman will demonstrate IPA5's significant weapon carriage and manoeuvrability whilst still able to show carefree handling.

 

In addition to the demonstration, a full scale replica of the world's most advanced, new generation multi-role combat jet, including full weapon display, will be available for general public access. The RAF will also have a Typhoon on display in the static aircraft park.

 

IPA 5 will fly in a swing-role configuration, including four Paveway II laser guided bombs, two 1,000 ltr fuel tanks, four AMRAAMs (Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles) and two ASRAAMs (Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missiles) and will highlight the Typhoon's agility regardless of weapon load.

 

Test pilot Mark Bowman said: "I am looking forward enormously to displaying at the Air Tattoo next week. The aim is simply to demonstrate the Typhoon's power, performance and presence in a truly representative combat load. Different than most other 'clean aircraft' displays, I hope the observer will get a real sense of why Typhoon is not only at the forefront of world combat aviation, but also acknowledge the role of European technology, engineering and ingenuity in producing this 'awesome' aircraft."

 

An Air Tattoo spokesman said BAE Systems' decision to display their prized demonstration aircraft at the airshow showed the significance of the event in the eyes of the company.

 

He said: "To have such a formidable aircraft displayed by BAE Systems' chief test pilot for combat air is something special and will be appreciated and eagerly anticipated by the knowledgeable Air Tattoo audience.

 

"Having such an experienced pilot at the controls will ensure visitors to the Air Tattoo will get to see the aircraft's full capabilities. We are extremely grateful to our title sponsor BAE Systems for agreeing to display the aircraft at the Air Tattoo."

 

This summer's Air Tattoo will be marking its 40th anniversary and hosting a gathering of specially-decorated 'Tiger' aircraft from the NATO Tiger Association. 'Tiger' aircraft come from NATO squadrons that have a Tiger or Big Cat in their emblem and their association marks its 50th anniversary in 2011. The 'operational' spotlight STAR 11 will focus on aircraft and equipment involved in the roles of Strike and Reconnaissance.
