Indian companies producing aviation products could go global post the visit of the US President, Mr Barack Obama.
This follows indications that India and the US could ink the Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) during the Presidential visit. This would lead to mutual acceptance of each others aeronautical products and parts developed in either country.
“An executive agreement is likely to be signed during the visit which could open a host of business opportunities for Indian aviation companies,” official sources told Business Line. Mr Obama is expected to begin his visit in the first week of next month.
A team from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) was here in August for 15 days and visited facilities in Delhi and Bangalore to study certification procedures for engines, propellers and design of aircraft and components being produced here, sources said. The Indian authorities have already demonstrated to the FAA a life raft that can hold four people.
Officials indicated that the signing of the agreement could also pave the way for products certified by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) being accepted in the global aviation market. “India is making the 15-seater SARAS aircraft and a regional transport aircraft is on the drawing board. If the agreement is signed, then these two products could also be marketed globally as the FAA certification is accepted globally,” officials said.
At Mumbai airport two bird hits in day
On Thursday morning, two Kingfisher flights suffered from bird-hits at the Mumbai airport during landing. However, confusion prevailed as Kingfisher airlines (KFA) and Mumbai International Airport Limited (Mial) gave different flight numbers for the bird-hits.
The airline maintained that only one flight had had a bird-hit. Kingfisher airline flight IT 3162 Hyderabad-Mumbai was landing on Mumbai runway at 9.36am when a bird hit its engine. There were 136 passengers on board the Airbus 320, and the plane landed safely at 9.38am. “After the inspection, traces of the dead bird were found by the aircraft maintenance engineer in the engine,” said a source from the airport.
Within the next 30 minutes, KFA’s Delhi-Mumbai flight IT 304 had a bird-hit during final approach (landing) at the Mumbai airport.
Noise: IAF planes on radar
NEW DELHI: In the first ever move of its kind in India to mitigate noise pollution around an airport, the aviation ministry and DGCA have asked the defence ministry to avoid flying their old and extremely noisy military aircraft in and out of Delhi airport. At the same time realising the security requirements, the aviation authorities have suggested a practical alternate also by suggesting the movement of such aircraft be limited to runway 27 (that's closest to Dwarka side). Reason: Its approach path passes over the least number of residential colonies as compared to the final approach of other two runways and would hence disturb the least number of people.
Highly placed sources said this move is a direct fallout of residents living in colonies near IGI approaching the Delhi high court over the issue of noise from airport at night. The DGCA is already proposing to ban movement of noisy old aircraft that fall in chapter-II of International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) like the Boeing 737-200 or the Russian IL-76 from IGI between 10pm and 6am from October 31. In India, Alliance Air and Blue Dart use the B 737-200 as cargo aircraft.
While ICAO Chapter-II rules apply to civil aircraft, residents have moved court against noise from movement of all kind of planes at night. Which means defence planes can't be excluded from the list of noise mitigation measures list being drawn up. That's why the aviation authorities have written to the defence ministry in the backdrop of the high court case. The issue of reducing noise levels has to be tackled at several levels, including the way aircraft are flown in final approach; having noise barriers around the airport and limiting movement of old planes. We are going to take up the issue with each of the parties concerned,'' said a senior official.
The armed forces have some very old, but airworthy, planes. These include the Indian Air Force's over 100 Antonov-32s and the Navy's eight Tupolev-142s and five Ilyushin-38s. The last two are maritime reconnaissance aircraft and Delhi witnesses high movement of the AN-32s. The AN-32s are approaching the end of their total technical life of 25 years and the government has gone in for a $400 million upgradation and life extension programme that includes improving their avionic to make them quieter.
In the west, airports remain close at night so that people living nearby can sleep peacefully. Chapter-II aircraft are banished from many airports even during day. With people living in Indian metros also moving court now on the issue of airport noise, it's just a matter of time before the country takes firm steps in this direction. A beginning has been made with night curfew at IGI's latest runway, but authorities say many more steps would be taken soon.
At Kolkata airport- Plane hit by cart
Kolkata: The chartered aircraft of Joyce Meyer, a leading practical Bible teacher, was badly damaged when an inebriated staffer of a private airline rammed his cart into the plane on Wednesday night. The evangelist and her team are on an Asia missions trip to Thailand and India and are currently in Kolkata where conferences and sessions titled Festival of Life are scheduled from October 21 to 24. The errant driver has been suspended.
Routine operations were under way at Kolkata airport on Wednesday night when the driver of a Kingfisher Airlines push-back cart, Ram Singh, rammed the vehicle into the plane parked in a poorly-lit section of the airport at 10.30pm. The cart's upper part tore into the wing of the plane, ripping a portion off the body.
A probe initiated into the incident by the DGCA official in Kolkata revealed that Singh was already inebriated when he reported for duty at 9pm.
The plane, a Gulfstream Aerospace IV aircraft (registration no. N7 JM), had landed in Kolkata the previous evening at 6.30pm. On board were three crew members and nine passengers, including evangelists Dave and Joyce Meyer, pastors Tommy Barnett and Dino Rizzo and worship leader Darlene Zschech.
