Thank you everybody for the exceptional performance during the Tri-motor event. By every measure, the event was a huge success and the City of Lincoln was extremely happy with the event. We raised awareness of the Lincoln airport with the local population.
In addition, the smiles on the passengers as they stepped off of the Tri-Motor were great. Everyone had a great Tri-Motor experience, and passengers loved the experience of flight on the Tri-Motor. We can be proud of our chapter’s accomplishments.
The Tri-Motor will be departing Lincoln this morning about 09:00, but it is leaving behind a new world record for the most flights in a 4 day period. Yes, unofficially the record now belongs to our chapter, and we await final confirmation of the numbers. The previous record stood for 25 years until February, when Chapter 555 from New Mexico flew over 800 passengers.
Rand and Colin (the pilots) said that our chapter was the best organized they have ever seen and that all the ground crews did an outstanding job.
From Ainonline.com:
Safety Alert for Operators 15006 was published by the FAA to ensure that pilots realize the need to keep their aircraft transponders turned on to the altitude-reporting mode even when operational on the ground in airport movement areas. The FAA uses runway safety systems, such as airport surface detection equipment model X (ASDE-X) and advanced surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS), at many airports in the U.S. to determine aircraft and vehicle locations when operating on an airport surface.
Both of these systems use data from transponders to obtain accurate aircraft and vehicle locations to increase airport surface safety and efficiency. Nationwide, the agency said that airports with ASDE-X report an average of 20 non-compliance transponder events per day, even with explicit airport diagrams or ATIS notification, or both, directing pilots to operate with transponders on. To address these problems, aircraft operating on all airport movement areas at all airports—not just those that are ASDE-X equipped—must taxi with their transponders on in the altitude-reporting mode.
We have live streaming of the event in Lincoln.
The Tri-motor has arrived at KLHM.
