A View from Our President

ATC privatization! User fees! Phaseout of 100LL! Lions, tigers, monsters, and bears! What’s an intrepid aviator (or aviation user) to do? Often we turn to our trade associations for action, protection, and answers.

And trade associations we do have, and they come in many different flavors. For us FBOs, the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) and the Wisconsin Aviation Trades Association (WATA) are closest to our hearts. NATA, celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is based in downtown D.C. and takes on and works with the “big dogs” in Washington. There they are joined by representatives of every constituency imaginable in aviation: National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) for corporate aviation, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) for its namesake, our own Wisconsin-based Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA), and probably a dozen others. They don’t always agree and aren’t always on the same side, but, generally, they play nice and all work to promote aviation.

Closer to home, besides WATA, there is the Wisconsin Business Aircraft Association (WBAA) and the Wisconsin Airport Management Association (WAMA), who together with vendors host the annual Wisconsin Aviation Conference. The location rotates each year around the state, this year landing in Oshkosh on May 2-4. There are general sessions and specific breakout sessions for airport managers, FBOs, airport commission members, and others of interest. Big names like AOPA President Mark Baker and NATA

The one word that comes to mind when we think about the FAA is COMPLIANCE. I remember when I was working on my private certificate and my CFI said, “If you are ever asked by an FAA inspector to see your certificate, hold it up so he or she can see it, but don’t give it to him because you will play heck getting it back.” The implication of that advice was that the FAA inspectors saw their job as enforcing the regulations and punishing those who were out of compliance. However, with Director of Flight Service Standards John Duncan’s signing of Order 8900.323, effective 9/18/15, the FAA has acknowledged that regardless of how robustly regulations are enforced, risk still exists. After years of trying, the agency has realized that developing rules for every possible situation is difficult, ineffective and, frankly, impossible. Aviation has reached a level of complexity where further safety improvements cannot be achieved by simple compliance with prescriptive rules. FAA oversight of the aviation industry must move beyond compliance with regulations into an environment where enforcement of rules is coupled with a systematic identification and in-depth study of clearly defined hazards.

This new view of compliance stresses a problem-solving approach that moves beyond compliance to proactively seeking ways to make the environment even safer. If that sounds a lot like our Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) and Safety Management System (SMS), that’s because it is just that.

Continued on page 10 Continued on page 3

FAA Changes Its Approach to Compliance to Bring Aviation Safety to a New, Higher Level

FAA Changes Its Approach to Compliance(continued from page 1)

The big difference to us as pilots and aviation service providers is the reaction we can expect from inspectors when they must determine what action to take for noncompliance with regulatory standards. This quote from the order lays that out:

“Effective October 1, 2015, AFS personnel will no longer use the Enforcement Decision Process (EDP) to determine what action to take for noncompliance with regulatory standards. The first priority is to identify the problem and stop any ongoing deviation from standards. Inspectors must then determine what action to take by evaluating the airman’s/organization’s behavior and level of cooperation. Interdependence (collaboration) and critical thinking (problem solving) are essential tools for this task. An inspector should seek to engage and collaborate with the stakeholder to correct the underlying problem.”

In other words, was it an honest mistake or a reckless or negligent act? If it was an honest mistake, the inspector will work with the individual or organization to find the root cause of the problem and take corrective action.

Another quote from the order defines what they are calling a “just safety culture”:

“Key to a just safety culture is the ability to determine where the line should be drawn between blameless unsafe acts that can be effectively addressed through use of compliance tools and unacceptable behavior that requires use of enforcement action.”

The order goes on to state:

“Inspectors must use critical thinking in a problem-solving approach that stresses developing effective individual and organizational risk management environments. When appropriate, inspectors should engage collaboratively with airmen and organizations to encourage development of system-level risk mitigations on issues for which such methods may effectively ensure ongoing compliance.”

System-level risk mitigations means the solutions come from the bottom up and not from the top down. A few examples cited in the order help to understand the change:

Example 1: “During a routine ramp inspection conducted after a flight, an inspector asks a private pilot to produce his certificate [per Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), Part

61, §61.3(a)]. The pilot is unable to locate his certificate, which he believes to have been on board the aircraft prior to the flight. The airman now speculates that his certificate may be lost. The inspector makes note of the information for the airman and flight. Upon returning to the office, the inspector checks the airman’s information, noting that the airman does hold an appropriate certificate and has no violation history. The inspector sends the airman an email with information from airman online services on obtaining a new certificate and how to request temporary exercising privileges. The inspector closes the finding of the deviation with written counseling.”

Example 2: “An FAA inspector conducted a routine record check on a 14 CFR, Part 135 air carrier. During the initial inspection, the inspector discovered that the operator had not maintained a complete pilot record for all of the pilots used in its operations. Such action is contrary to Part 135, §135.63. The inspector used an on-the-spot correction that included a control mechanism to help mitigate future errors to address the issue. The inspector documented the action in the PTRS. At the next base inspection, the inspector noted additional issues with the pilot records. The inspector worked with the operator to develop an additional risk control—a change to their office procedures which would preclude future reoccurrence. Again the inspector documented the action in PTRS. When the inspector returned again in a few months for the next inspection, the pilot records were still not in compliance. At this point, the operator displays a pattern of negative behaviors or performance that is consistently being repeated and has an identifiable common root cause (systemic) that the organization fails to mitigate, even though it is aware of the problem. The inspector initiates an enforcement investigation.”

In the second example, you can see that the inspector’s first strategy was to work with the operator to develop changes to the operator’s system to correct the problem. Only when those efforts failed and it became clear that the operator was not making an effort to improve did the inspector move to enforcement action.

Wisconsin Aviation is actively developing a Safety Management System (SMS) and is one of the first Part 135 carriers to be a part of an Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP).

Seeing the world from above at night is one of the unique experiences that only flying can offer. Sunsets, city lights, a bright moon glowing overhead, and stars shining on a clear night are all the more beautiful as aerial views. What’s more, the air is usually glass-smooth at night as winds and solar warming taper off, making the ride more enjoyable.

With the fun of flying in the dark comes a list of procedures and precautions, which is why a few hours of ground and flight training for night operations is required for private pilot certification. For purposes of training, logging flight time and night currency, “night” starts one hour after sunset (and ends one hour before sunrise). All pilots, when carrying passengers at night, must be current to do so. This means having flown at least three takeoffs and landings to full stops at night in the preceding 90 days.

Learning to fly safely at night requires a review of several components: Regulations and required equipment; aeromedical factors; flight planning aspects; and emergencies. Flight training requires at least one nighttime cross-country flight with plenty of takeoffs and landings. Anyone who wants to fly regularly at night should maintain currency, even if passengers aren’t riding along—it’s important to keep practicing to maintain proficiency.

In addition to the pilot’s requirements for night flights, the airplane must have a few extra pieces of equipment on top of what’s required for daytime flights. These include an electrical system to provide lighting. If the airplane has fuses for its lights, you must have spare fuses. There are three position lights that must be on starting at sunset: A red light on the left wingtip, a green light on the right tip, and a white light on the tail. This allows other aircraft to determine whether you’re flying away, toward, or alongside them, while allowing you to check the other’s position.

Anti-collision lights—in the form of one flashing red beacon or flashing white wingtip strobes—also must be on. If a flight is for hire, the aircraft’s landing light must be operable, although it’s not required to be on for the entire flight.

All of these lights along with cockpit lighting (red or small white reading lights) are standard in most aircraft, so it’s a good idea to check each light during every preflight inspection to see if a bulb needs replacing or a light switch is inoperable. And always have two flash lights—a red or green one to look around the cockpit in the dark and a white one for preflight inspections or troubleshooting that requires a brighter light. Have spare batteries too, for at least one light. You never know when you’ll have to fly home after sunset.

Now that we’re equipped and current, let’s look at the human factors in night flight, which we’ll discuss in the next issue.

Elaine KauhCFII, RYV

Calbraith Perry Rodgers had a striking persona. He was six feet, four inches tall and weighed 200 pounds. Although a bout of scarlet fever in 1885 left him almost totally deaf and with less-than-clear speech, his robust demeanor displayed all the confidence in the world. Never one for academics, school work came second to his interest in mechanical things. In March 1911, he visited his cousin John at the Wright Company factory and flying school in Dayton, Ohio, and became interested in aviation. He received 90 minutes of flying lessons from Orville Wright, and on August 7, 1911, he took his official flying examination at Huffman Prairie and became the 49th aviator licensed to fly by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. The test consisted of three flights: two non-stop distance flights, each of at least 5 km, and one altitude flight of 100 m. Soon after obtaining his license, he became the first civilian to purchase a Wright aircraft, a Model B.

Later in August of 1911, Rodgers took his Model B to Chicago to attend the Chicago International Aviation Meet. He won prize money for several different events, including the duration prize for the largest single prize of the meet, staying aloft for 3 hours, 23 minutes, 10 seconds. Most importantly, he won the most in total prize money with a sum of more than $11,285—and placed his name in the record books.

On October 10, 1910, newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst offered a cash prize of $50,000 to the first aviator who could fly across the country within a thirty-day period; the offer was valid for one year. The trip could start from either coast but had to include a landing in Chicago. Hearst set a deadline for completion of the feat by October 10 of 1911. With the successes in Chicago under his belt, Rodgers decided to get in the race for the Hearst prize.

Rodgers arranged financial backing from J. Ogden Armour, a meat packer who was interested in promoting a new product he was producing called “Vin Fiz,” a grape-flavored carbonated soft drink. What better way to promote a new product than to paint the name on the underside of the wings of an airplane that will be in the air across the entire country? Cal named his Wright Model B biplane the “Vin Fiz Flyer” and agreed to drop leaflets along his route that advertised the drink. Armour agreed to pay $5 for each mile he flew east of the Mississippi River and $4 per mile west of it (figure the logic in that). The Armour Company also provided a train to follow the flight. The train had three cars—a sleeper, a diner, and a logistics car containing supplies such as oil and gasoline, a machine shop, enough spare parts to assemble another airplane, a tow truck, Rodgers’ favorite road racer, and a first-aid center.

Only three daring aviators made the attempt to win the Hearst prize. Rodgers was the last of the three to take off. On September 17 at 4:25 p.m., he departed from the Sheepshead Bay racetrack near New York City. Cal followed railroad tracks whenever possible with the supply train close behind. Just eight years after

Kitty Hawk, there were no established airports or navigation aids. By October 8, he had only reached Chicago. With the October 10 deadline days away, it was clear that the Hearst prize was not going to be his. His innate sense of adventure and enthusiasm caused him to continue on. After numerous crashes, breakdowns, and weather delays, he made it to Pasadena, California. On November 5, 1911, at 4:10 p.m., the Vin Fiz touched down on a white marker in the center of Pasadena’s Tournament Park. The waiting crowd swarmed him. He was given a large bouquet of chrysanthemums and cloaked with an American flag. The final west-coast landing was planned for Long Beach. On November 12 he departed Pasadena for the final twenty-three miles of his journey. Unfortunately, he crashed near Compton. The Vin-Fiz sustained major damage, requiring a few weeks to repair; Cal was semiconscious for the next day and nursed a badly sprained ankle. It was not until December 10 that Cal flew the remaining nine miles and finally reached the Pacific. To the cheers of about 50,000 fans, Cal flew out over the Pacific and returned to land on the beach to wet the skids. The first transcontinental east-west flight was officially completed.

So, where did Calbraith Perry Rodgers get the sense of adventure and the fortitude to complete this feat? Maybe it was just in his genes. Here is a little about his lineage:

• Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry (great granduncle – War of 1812, battle flag “Don’t give up the ship” and “We have met the enemy and they are ours”)

• Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry (great grandfather)

• Commodore John Rodgers (granduncle)

• Rear Admiral Christopher Raymond Perry Rodgers (grandfather)

On April 3, 1912, Cal took the plane for a short flight over the ocean to investigate an unusual engine sound during his previous flight. He encountered a flock of seagulls, one of which became wedged between the fuselage and the elevator, rendering the plane uncontrollable. The plane pitched down, plunging through two feet of water and flipping, pinning the 33-year-old Cal underneath. He was killed instantly.

Safety Tip:

Red lighting is commonly used in the cockpit at night, but be aware that this light obscures red-colored symbols and features on a chart. Green lights also can be used at night, but the same problem applies to green colors on a chart. Also, test night-color flashlights before using them in flight. Their beams should be wide, not too narrow, and their brightness should be just enough to see, but not too intense.

Student Pilot Rule Change

Dr. Terry Turke is an FAA Senior Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) located in Watertown, Wisconsin (920-261-2020).

A Visit with the AME

Dr. Terry Turke

The student pilot certificate will now be issued by a Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), an FAA-designated pilot examiner, an airman certification representative associated with a Part 141 flight school, or a certificated flight instructor (CFI). The minimum age for the student pilot certificate is 16..

As of April 1, 2016, AMEs are no longer able to issue the combined FAA Medical Certificate and Student Pilot Certificate. Student pilots now have a separate Student Pilot Certificate and a separate FAA Medical Certificate. This change is due to a Final Rule published in January and is in response to section 4012 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act and facilitates vetting by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of student pilot applicants prior to certificate issuance. The student pilot will need a valid medical certificate prior to solo flight. There are a few changes that have been made:

• If the AME determines that a Medical Flight Test is needed, the exam must be deferred.

• There is no age requirement for a medical certificate. The exam should be timed so that the medical certificate is valid at the time of solo flight.

• AMEs no longer note any restrictions, such as valid for flight test only, valid for student pilot purposes only, and not valid until (date of 16th birthday).

The recently reopened Edgewater Supper Club is a great place to fly to for dinner and is sure to please. It has been around for more than a hundred years and has a convenient location for pilots—right by the Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, airport (61C), which has a long paved runway with lights and a rotating beacon. The ideal part is that you can park your plane at the northeast corner of the airport and only walk a few hundred yards to the restaurant right across the road. You could even pitch a tent under the plane and stay overnight if necessary.

There is a picturesque view of the Rock River from the dining room window where you will be treated to many wildlife sightings. The menu is simple and not overly priced, and the quality of the food and the service is excellent—you get your value plus! For your passengers, there is a full-service bar with wine, cocktails, and on-tap or bottled beer.

With the days staying light longer and the weather getting warmer, it’s time for a quick getaway for more than the proverbial “$100 hamburger.” Bring along some tie-down stakes so you can park

close for the shortest walk to the restaurant while securing your plane.Reservations are suggested, but you can usually be accommodated without an excessive wait. For contact info and hours of operations, visit the restaurant’s website at https://TheEdgewaterSupperClub.com.

If you prefer a sports bar atmosphere, Lou’s Riverview is an enjoyable bar and grill located another hundred yards north of the Edgewater Supper Club. It is open daily and also offers a riverfront view.
