The aim of the paper is to give an overview of the qualification requirements for future pilots in Canada and to discuss trends in such professionals training modernization. The methodological framework of the research is comprised of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization – to study the works of foreign scientists, official and legal documents); specific-scientific methods (categorial analysis – to reveal the essence and clarify the definitions of the basic concepts of the study), and the structural and functional analysis – to determine the organizational, content and procedural features of pilot training in Canada. The analysis of the normative and legislative documents showed that the most professionally important licenses giving a pilot a professional right to work in the aviation industry and civil aviation are the Commercial Pilot’s License – CPL and the Airline Transport Pilot’s License – ATPL. The paper concentrates on the analysis of the requirements for knowledge and skills that a pilot has to possess and develop as well as a number of important steps to be completed to get the CPL and ATPL as specified in the corresponding sections of the Canadian Aviation Regulations. In order to obtain a license, a future pilot has to comply with the requirements for age, health status, a number of written examinations and flight training – flight hours, flight conditions and the level of skills. The qualification of a pilot can be attained at Flight Training Units or following the completion of university and college programs. The paper describes the specifics of integrated courses offered by the former – the Commercial Pilot Licence – Aeroplane (CPL(A)) integrated course, Commercial Pilot Licence – Aeroplane/Instrument Rating (CPL(A)/IR) Integrated Course, and Airline Transport Pilot Licence – ATP(A) Integrated Course. The conclusion is made that the types of flights and pilot activities in terms of CPL (A), CPL (A) / IR and ATP (A) licenses are largely the same. The difference lies in the number of hours provided for certain activity types and several specific requirements such as flying in difficult weather conditions or interaction between crew members. Among pilots’ training modernization trends we single out the following: its organization based on the competence approach, a reduction in the cost of training a new generation of pilots and increasing its efficiency through the introduction of new technologies in the training process.

Emissions Trading System

In order to combat climate change and control emissions in the aviation industry, it is necessary to research the aviation industry’s potential application of China’s Emissions Trading System (ETS), especially the carbon allowance allocation (CAA). On the basis of historical and benchmarking CAA schemes, considering the responsibility, capacity, and potential of firms, this study proposes the indicators CAA (ICAA) scheme. Moreover, considering firms’ costs, this study also proposes a multi-objective CAA (MCAA) scheme. Finally, the most effective scheme is reported. Results show that under ICAA and MCAA, caps are lower and basically consistent with the emissions reduction target of the “13th Five-Year Plan Work Program for Controlling GHG Emissions of Civil Aviation in China” and international goals. Different types of airlines gain different quotas according to their income and the number and age of their aircraft. The cost of reducing emissions in each scheme is less than 0.35% of their total costs. Under the ICAA-S, ICAA-P, and MCAA schemes, airlines can achieve a reduction in emissions of 19.7%, 20.9%, and 19.6%, respectively. Moreover, under MCAA, the difference in quotas between airlines is smaller. Therefore, of the schemes evaluated, MCAA is the most effective.

The purpose of this study is to analyze standards as one of the main tools of protectionism in global markets of industrial goods. We use standards for modeling of market competition and adapt this approach for civil aviation markets. The role of local noise standards in civil aircraft markets is discussed. Imposition of more stringent aviation noise standards is modelled in the form of a two-person non-zero-sum game. Players are aircraft corporations that conduct research and development to reduce noise and lobby for stricter regulations in their controlled markets. The model can be used to predict that tighter aviation noise standards will be imposed and to justify the strategy of Russian aviation industry and science. The proposed approach can be adapted for other industries with strict regulations (in terms of safety, ecology). Such estimation allows us to assess whether it is in the country’s interests to participate in the standards race or not. It is shown that the equilibrium degree of standards tightening is higher if the players’ market shares are close to equal or individual players have advantages in the cost of production and/or product improvement is highly likely due to the company’s R&D progress.

Nationally, wildlife-aircraft collisions (wildlife strikes) have been increasing over the past 25 years; denoted in the National Wildlife Strike Database that has been maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) since 1990. Increasing wildlife populations and air traffic coupled with quieter, faster aircraft create a significant risk to aviation safety; the cost to the civil aviation industry is an estimated $937 million dollars annually. USDA/APHIS/Wildlife Services (WS) provides technical and direct assistance to over 850 airports and airbases around the United States, including Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD). At ORD, raptors are one of the most commonly struck bird guild and accounted for at least 25% of damaging strikes from 2010-2013. An Integrated Wildlife Damage Management (IWDM) program is implemented at ORD to reduce the presence of wildlife on the airfield, consequently lowering the risk of wildlife strikes. Professional airport wildlife biologists at ORD concentrate much of their efforts on raptor management due to the high strike risk these birds pose to aircraft on the airfield itself. A variety of techniques are currently used to manage raptor populations at ORD. Concurrently, research is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the Red-tailed Hawk relocation program at the airport, as well as to assess their movements within the airfield environment.

The average daily mileage of a wagon, its productivity and turnover determine the level of efficiency of rolling stock use. The car turnover is calculated and normalized not only for the fleet as a whole, but also for each type of rolling stock, for a particular region and road, depending on the nature of the transportation work. Accelerating car turnover increases its productivity and increases profit of an operator company. At the same time, its decrease negativ ely affects the capacity of the infrastructure, entails an increase in the cost of shunting and train work, which means that it will increase the cost of transportation. In modern conditions, turnover is determined for each participant in transportation in accordance with his area of responsibility. For an iron and steel plant, the use of an optimal methodology for recording the time spent by a wagon on its tracks allows us to adequately assess this important quality indicator, as well as to monitor its change as a result of introduction of new technologies for transport maintenance of workshops, reconstruction of station layout and optimization of the transportation process. The objective of the study is to improve the methodology for determining car turnover on access roads of a metallurgical enterprise for universal rolling stock in the context of dual operations. The authors use general scientific methods, mathematical methods, comparative analysis. This article presents the main provisions of the methodology, which will allow determining turnover of gondola cars subject to a single or dual operations in the form of a single indicator which is average weighted car turnover.

AbstractThis paper explains how flight simulation has made a major contribution to flight safety over the last thirty years to become critical to the operation of civil airlines and military organisations. It not only provides effective training, but for many flight training organisations has reduced the cost of flight training significantly. The paper outlines the increasing role of flight simulation covering flight training and research and development of aircraft and systems. The contribution of the flight simulation industry to the UK economy, in terms of both employment and revenue, is highlighted.The paper focuses on advances in the underpinning technologies of flight simulation, including mathematical modelling, real-time computation, motion actuation, visual image generation systems and projection systems.The paper also summarises the broadening roles of flight simulation; from part-task trainers to zero flight-time training in civil aviation; in military aviation, extending to combat domes and mission rehearsal; in defence procurement, where synthetic environments are used widely in evaluation studies prior to major project commitments; in aircraft development, providing powerful design tools to enable system designers to evaluate prototype systems.As a result of the acceptance of flight simulation in flight training, the use of simulators has been standardised throughout the world, with formal programmes of simulator qualification. These regulations, drawn up with the help of the RAeS Flight Simulation Group, ensure consistency for operators, regulators and manufacturers; the status of these regulations is outlined.The paper concludes by reviewing the lessons learnt by the flight simulation industry over the last thirty years and summaries the potential areas of growth, which will lead to simulation becoming widespread throughout many industries, in addition to the aerospace industry.
