Model Aircraft Group Condemns FAA Reauthorization Bill

Posted on September 27, 2018 by Writer

The Academy of Model Aeronautics is rallying its members to lobby congressional representatives to vote against the latest iteration of FAA reauthorization, the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018. The bill includes modifications to the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, also known as Section 336, modifications the AMA claims will put burdensome restrictions on the use of model aircraft.

The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 restricts model aircraft operations to 400 feet AGL. This limit “kills many of our operations that have been safely conducted for decades,” said AMA’s interim executive director, Chad Budreau, in a video on the AMA website. AMA claims this limit will inhibit AMA competitions and make it more difficult to use model aviation in STEM education programs.

Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) condemns FAA Reauthorization Bill

Posted on September 27, 2018 by Writer

Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) is urging its members to contact their congressional representatives to vote against the latest version of the FAA Reauthorization Bill of 2018. According to the AMA, the bill includes adjustments to Section 336 (the Special Rule for Model Aircraft) that will create burdensome restrictions on the use of model aircraft. The Senate will be voting on the bill this week.

AMA urges to vote against bill

First of all the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 limits the operations of model aircraft to 400 feet AGL. AMA’s interim executive director, Chad Budreau said in a video that this limit: “kills many of our operations that have been safely conducted for decades.” For instance, it would restrict AMA competitions as well as the use of model aviation in STEM education programs. Flying above 400 feet would only be allowed after approval from air traffic control.

Chad also argues against the ‘unreasonable changes’ to Section 336 such as the requirement for remote identification for all model airplanes, including the AMA Alpha, that are commonly used in our flying fields and STEM curriculum.

Any flights within Class B, C, D and E airspace would need approval from the FAA or a designee (LAANC). The rules that are part of Section 336 only apply to aircraft weighing 55 pounds or less. Unmanned aircraft weighing more than 55 pounds would be restricted to fixed flying sites.

President of the AMA, Rich Hanson recommends a more risk-based approach for the regulation of recreational model aircraft instead of setting

Infosys Finacle overhauls Australian Military Bank’s digital offering

Posted on September 27, 2018 by Writer

India-founded financial technology firm Infosys Finacle has completed a major revamp of Australian Military Bank (AMB)’s digital banking system.

The Infosys-owned company rebuilt the bank’s digital stack as a software-as-a-service model, focusing on the financial institution’s core banking, loan origination, payments and platforms.

The AMB declined to reveal its previous cloud service provider, but said the overhaul was completed in just 10 months.

The new system will be hosted out of Infosys’ data centre in Australia enabled with an open application programming interface (API), allowing the bank to work with other partners.

According to the AMB, the new online and mobile platforms have seen a 46 per cent increase in registrations, plus a 16 per cent  increase in the mobile app registrations.

Return of the MiG-17

Posted on September 27, 2018 by Writer

Jon Blanchette is not the kind of guy to give up on a project once he’s started it. In 1953, he took a job as an engineer with General Motors and stayed with the company for 34 years. During that time, he took a five-year leave of absence to serve as an officer in the U.S. Navy in charge of ship construction before returning to GM and transitioning to the Naval Reserve for another 19 years. So when he became the owner of a MiG-17 that was destined for a scrapyard in Poland, he was going to finish its restoration, no matter what obstacles he ran into. And he ran into a bunch.

Without corporate sponsorship or private donors, Blanchette worked on the single-engine, swept-wing jet fighter for more than 17 years. He not only finished its restoration, he turned it into an airshow star. Along the way, he learned a thing or two about MiG-17s.

As a volunteer “working on other people’s planes” at the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo, New York, Blanchette began to think he’d like to have a jet of his own, and he started shopping for a fixed-wing fixer-upper in 1993. “A friend of mine was overseas buying aircraft,” Blanchette recalls. “He called me one day and said that he had a couple of MiGs there that had funny noses on them, and he wondered if I wanted one.” Blanchette bought the MiG sight unseen. He says that the post-cold war abundance of Polish aircraft made them

Blockchain Eyed For Holy Grail: Aircraft Availability

Posted on September 27, 2018 by Writer

Mention blockchain in casual conversation and interlocutors probably will think of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin—if anything at all. But now executives and advisors across commercial aviation, aircraft leasing and the aftermarket are starting to take a careful look at the distributed ledger technology to see how to use it to make real money themselves. In fact, some experts say blockchain could be responsible for putting some companies out of business—at least in the long term—if they do not adapt.

“A big vision of blockchain is eliminating middlemen that stand between an airplane and a part, and there is a whole industry out there standing between an airplane and a part,” says Chuck Marx, who was U.S. advisory leader for aerospace and defense at PwC before leaving to become an independent advisor on digital thread and blockchain for the firm’s clients.

“It’s huge,” he adds. “We’re going right to the heart of the business model. They’re going to have find other ways to add value to the ecosystem, and they can.”

Steffen Parth, manager for business development, innovation and products in the aircraft base maintenance unit of Lufthansa Technik, also sees great potential. “Look at the finance industry—here blockchain is already kind of a game-changer. It is a bit more difficult to predict blockchain’s effect on other industries, but I would say that aviation provides an environment where blockchain can be especially beneficial.”
