Dalby Pouchel. The Pouchel (also known as the Ladder Flea) is a single-seat ultralight aircraft designed by Daniel Dalby and produced by APEV. The aircraft was designed for amateur construction and first flown in 1999.

Design and development
The Pouchel I was conceived in 1997 by French engineer Daniel Dalby. The aim was to design an easy-to-build ultralight aircraft based on the formula, principles and writings of Henri Mignet. The core of the construction employed commercial aluminium ladders in the fuselage and as spars in both wings. The wings were assembled using styrofoam ribs, and were fabric-covered. It was powered by a Fuji engine, developing less than 15 hp. Controls were similar to Mignet Pou-du-Ciel designs, with a pivoting front wing and rudder, both operated by the control column via control rods and no foot pedals. After test hops and modifications, on 26 June 1999, Daniel Dalby piloted the Pouchel on its first true flight at Salon Eyguieres.

In 2002, after many plans had been sold to other amateur constructors, the ladder manufacturer refused to sell its products for this purpose, due to concerns about liability and insurance. The aircraft was then redesigned to replace the ladders with rectangular-section aluminium tubes (100 x 50 mm), becoming the Pouchel II, with a Rotax 447 engine and an empty weight of about . Subsequently, the Pouchel II was superseded by the APEV Pouchel Light, with an empty weight of about . A closely related aircraft in the same family is the APEV Demoichelle. Plans and kits are distributed by the APEV (Association pour la Promotion des Echelles Volantes, or in English, Association for the Promotion of Flying Ladders).

MSW Votec 322. 

The MSW Votec 322 is a Swiss two-seat low-wing monoplane based on the Rihn DR-107 One Design and designed for amateur construction by MSW Aviation of Wohlen.

Design and development
The MSW 322 was designed by Max Vogelsang and derived from the Rihn DR-107 One Design which MSW Aviation bought. The first prototype, registered HB-YJY first flew on 6 April 2001. The Votec 322 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a steel-tube fuselage, wooden wings with a carbon fibre fuselage skin, and conventional landing gear with a steerable tailwheel. The aircraft is powered by a  Lycoming AEIO-540 flat-six piston engine driving a three-bladed tractor propeller. Later a four-bladed propeller was installed to reduce noise. The cockpit has room for two in tandem with a one-piece side-hinged canopy.

In 2006 the eighth Votec 322 was converted into the first and, as of October 2011, the only Votec 351, a single seater. This flew for the first time on 23 September 2006. It has the same external dimensions as the Votec 322 but is  lighter when empty and has the more powerful  Lycoming AEIO-580 flat six engine. One consequence is an improvement in the climb rate of about 0.3%.

The Votec 452T, another Votec 322 variant, first flew on 4 June 2010. It is similar to its predecessor in span and weight but has a  Rolls-Royce M250-B17D turboprop engine and is  longer. The prototype remains the only example in October 2011.

Operational history
In mid 2010 six Votec 322 aircraft appeared on the European civil registers, together with the lone 351 and the 452T.

Variants

Votec 322 Original tandem seat DR 107 One Design derivative.
Votec 351 Single-seat, higher-power version.
Votec 452T Turboprop-powered, tandem-seat version.

Helog. HELOG is a former helicopter airline company based in Germany which runs training courses in Africa.

Overview

According to the company's website, it is headquartered in the Bavarian town of Bad Reichenhall.

Its chief project was an academy in Liberia which trains school-leavers to maintain and repair machinery. The academy is supported by Germany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Helog says it has also signed an agreement with aid agency Mercy Corps to train students how to install renewable energy systems in households.

Donors include:
 HeidelbergCement,
 Labdoo, and
 Merck Group.

History

In its previous incarnation, Helog operated a range of aviation services, including:

 Aerial firefighting in Germany and Switzerland, operating out of Ainring and Küssnacht.
Humanitarian aid, disaster relief, logistics and  surveillance.
Hovercraft transport in Sierra Leone between Lungi International Airport and Freetown. Helog says that during more than 40 years of operation, it also gained experience in heavy lift and logging.

In 2009, WikiLeaks released a United Nations audit from 2007 which detailed invoices submitted by Helog. The UN disagreed about the availability of helicopters in Sudan during a $29 million peacekeeping contract. In 2010, police in Freetown became involved when a Helog helicopter was thought to have landed at a hospital without prior notice. In 2012, Helog management decided to refocus their business on training. In August 2016, Helog opened its academy in Liberia.

Body control module. In automotive electronics, body control module or 'body computer' is a generic term for an electronic control unit responsible for monitoring and controlling various electronic accessories in a vehicle's body.
Typically in a car the BCM controls the power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, immobilizer system, central locking, etc.
The BCM communicates with other on-board computers via the car's CAN bus system, and its main application is controlling load drivers – actuating relays that in turn perform actions in the vehicle such as locking the doors, flashing the turn signals (in older cars), or dimming the interior lighting.

George McElwee. George Johnston McElwee (21 May 1879 – ?) was an Australian engineer and politician. He was born in Launceston, Tasmania. In 1940 he was elected to the Tasmanian Legislative Council as the Labor candidate to represent Launceston, beating the elderly Independent Frank Hart. He held the seat until his defeat in 1946.

McElwee joined the Launceston City Council's electrical department as an apprentice in 1896. He was appointed assistant city electrical engineer in 1919 and in 1934 became the superintendent of substations. McElwee was abruptly dismissed in March 1939 and paid one month's salary in lieu of notice. He had earlier publicly criticised the council, including at a royal commission into municipal administration, although the council stated that his dismissal was unrelated. McElwee eventually rejoined the council and retired in 1952 at the age of 73, as the electrical engineer in charge of the Launceston trolleybuses. He also served on the Northern Ambulance Board, the Fire Brigade Board, and the Technical College Board.

McElwee ran unsuccessfully in the Division of Bass at the 1934 federal election, standing on a social credit platform. He was the founder of the Launceston branch of the Douglas Social Credit Association, which he stated was non-political; he retained his membership of the ALP rather than the Douglas Credit Party.

He was the brother-in-law of James Guy and uncle of Allan Guy.

List of United States Air Force squadrons operating the A-37 Dragonfly. This is a list of A-37B Dragonfly squadrons of the United States Air Force. 

Cessna Aircraft built a total of 577 A-37B's. The aircraft was used for a relatively short period by the USAF; however, many aircraft had long service lives flying for the Air Force Reserves and Air National Guard.   Aircraft were manufactured by from 1967–1973 for USAF use; afterwards 1974–1975 for Military Assistance Program (MAP) sales primarily to South Vietnam and Latin American Air Forces.

The OA-37B Dragonfly variant was an armed observation aircraft developed during the Vietnam War. The "Dragonfly" replaced the aging Cessna O-2 Skymaster in the early 1980s. It continued in service with Air National Guard and Reserve units as an observation platform, until the 1980s.

Aircraft used by the USAF in South Vietnam were turned over to the Republic of Vietnam Air Force (VNAF) in 1972 after the USAF withdrawal as part of the "Vietnamization" program.  On 28 April 1975, in the last days of the war, three VNAF A-37s captured by the North Vietnamese at Phan Rang AB attacked the VNAF-controlled Tan Son Nhut AB; approximately 95 serviceable aircraft wound up in the hands of the North Vietnamese after the South Vietnamese collapse in 1975.  A-37s were used by the Vietnam People's Air Force for many years.  When Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1979, former VNAF A-37s flew most of the ground support missions and were a part of the VPAF until finally being grounded in the early 1990s.  Some were put on static display in Vietnam, and 10 were auctioned in 1998.  Those sold are currently owned by private companies, and individuals in America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.

Pilot job. In computer science, a pilot job is a type of multilevel scheduling, in which a resource is acquired by an application so that the application can schedule work into that resource directly, rather than going through a local job scheduler, which might lead to queue waits for each work unit.  This term comes from the Condor High-Throughput Computing System, in which Condor GlideIns provides this functionality.  Other examples of pilot jobs are: the BigJob implemented in SAGA, Swift Coasters as part of the Swift parallel scripting system,  the Falkon lightweight task execution framework, and HTCaaS.

Pilot jobs are most often used on systems that have queues, as part of their purpose is, in some sense, to avoid multiple waits in these queues.  These are most often found in parallel computing systems, but pilot jobs are usually part of a distributed application, and are many times associated with Many-task computing.

Akbarpur Airstrip. Akbarpur Airstrip is an airstrip/aerodrome located in Akbarpur, Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh.

Description 

The government is giving this airstrip to private investors for setting up their pilot training institutes and aircraft maintenance engineering institutes.This is an Aerodrome operated by the State Government.
 Type of operation : VFR
 Owner/Operator : State Government
 Aerodrome Elevation (Meters) : N/A
 Coordinates :2627N-08234E
 Runway : 11/29
 Dimensions : 5972 ft. x 99 ft.
 Surface : Asphalt
Suitable for aircraft : Hawker 900XP

Previously, the procedure for private use of the airstrip was lengthy: The owner of the private aircraft had to contact the respective district magistrate who would further contact the directorate which would take the measures required for landing of the aircraft. Now, according to the new order, the directorate will only give its nod and the institutes will take care of the rest.

In 2003, the state government had issued similar orders exclusively for people from the film industry. The charges were Rs 200 per landing along with Rs 1,000 per day for shooting at the air strip. The airstrip was, however, never used for shooting. The government has also decided to give subsidy in the landing and parking for ‘cross- country flying’ purposes, which means flying trainer aircraft from one aerodrome to another. Such aircraft will be charged half of the normal landing and parking fee, which will be Rs 250 for landing and Rs 100 per day for parking after two days of free parking.

Scheduled flights 
There are no scheduled flights.  The airport is used by private and chartered planes.
