737 Max Recertification Process

As we all know the Recertification flight test for 737 max completed on 1-July-20. This is 737-7 Aircraft. As per the FAA below are the list of process further required to ungrounding of the Aircraft. But this is applicable only to US, each country's regulator has to approve it to make sure Max is flying safe only then it is allowed in their Airspace.

The remaining tasks include:

  • JOEB Validation & FSB Review – The FAA’s Flight Standardization Board (FSB) and the Joint Operations Evaluation Board (JOEB) which includes international partners from Canada, Europe, and Brazil will evaluate minimum pilot training requirements.  The FSB will issue a draft report for public comment addressing the findings of the FSB and JOEB.
  • Final FSB Report – The FAA will publish a final FSB report after reviewing and addressing public comments.
  • Final Design Documentation and TAB Report – The FAA will review Boeing’s final design documentation in order to evaluate compliance with all FAA regulations.  The multi-agency Technical Advisory Board (TAB) will also review the final Boeing submission and issue a final report prior to a final determination of compliance by the FAA.
  • CANIC & AD – The FAA will issue a Continued Airworthiness Notification to the International Community (CANIC) providing notice of pending significant safety actions and will publish an Airworthiness Directive (AD) that addresses the known issues for grounding. The AD will advise operators of required corrective actions before aircraft may re-enter commercial service.
  • FAA Rescinds Grounding Order – This marks the official ungrounding of the aircraft, pending completion by operators of the work specified in the AD, along with any required training.
  • Certificates of Airworthiness – The FAA will retain its authority to issue airworthiness certificates and export certificates for all new 737 MAX airplanes manufactured since the grounding.  The FAA will perform in-person, individual reviews of these aircraft.
  • Operator Training Programs – The FAA will review and approve training programs for all part 121 operators.

DORNIER 228

The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) handed over the 100th locally manufactured maritime surveillance aircraft 'Dornier 228' (DO-228) to the Indian Coast Guard (ICG). The aircraft is a landmark addition into the armory of the Indian Coast Guard for effective and sharp surveillance of country's coastal boundaries. HAL now holds the distinction of manufacturing 100 DO-228 aircrafts for the nation. The DO-228 is a multi-speciality aircraft which is equipped with sophisticated hardware which includes a 360 degree surveillance radar, Satellite Communication (SATCOM) , Forward Looking Infra Red (FLIR) and Automatic Identification System (AIS). With India's booming defence sector which has witnessed the highest growth in 2010-11, HAL is now eyeing a business of Rs 550 crores in the financial year 2011-12. HAL will continue to produce sophisticated aircrafts for the defence forces in the coming years which include jets like the Intermediate Jet Trainer, light-wei...

Aircraft Nose Cone

Why the Nose Cone in Aircraft is Important ?   Nose cone is also known as RADOME. As the Name Implies, it is the DOME which consists of Radar Equipment. The function of the radome is to protect the antennas installed in the nose of the aircraft from airflow, rain, hail, lightning strike, bird strike,etc. At the same time it must provide a radio-frequency transparent window, suitable for the microwave signals of the weather detection radar, instrument landing system and microwave landing system. The most demanding system in terms of radome radio frequency specification is the weather radar.   Nose Cone/Radome Sources of radome degradation   There are many reasons for the performance level of a radome to degrade below minimum requirements. They range from lightning strike, bird strike, natural erosion, water ingress for some types of radomes, ageing, poor, repairs such as wrong material used, or over-painting.   How a degraded radome affects t...
