  1. Turbine TransitionTraining Platform by Piper Aircraft, Inc.

  2. Ľubomír Čorňák • OK Aviation Group • Based in Czech Republic • Authorized OEM distributor • Piper Aircraft • Cirrus Aircraft • Pilatus Aircraft • Central / Eastern Europe

  3. Ľubomír Čorňák – pilot • JAA & FAA licensed pilot • Instructor & Examiner • CRI / IRI / CRE • Airline and GA experience • J-31 regional turborpops • B-737 jets • Several types of business turboprops

  4. Glad to be back…

  5. Piper Aircraft, Inc. • Aircrcaft manufacturer since 1926 • Since 1937 under name Piper • Approximately 150.000 aircraft built • 186 type designs

  6. Piper product line • Covers all segments of GA • From basic trainer to turboprop (and jet) • Focused on owner-pilot • Family transportation • Business related trips

  7. Piper’s current product line • Piper Sport • PA-28 family (4seats) • Warrior • Archer • Arrow • PA-32 family (6 seats) • Piper 6X • Saratoga • Piper Twins • Seminole • Seneca • PA-46 family • Matrix • Mirage • Meridian • PA-47PiperJet

  8. Piper Trainers • Dedicated to training roles • WARRIOR – basic trainer • ARROW – complex single trainer • SEMINOLE – twin engine trainer • http://trainers.piper.com/

  9. Piper Turbine Transition Training Platform Conceptual study 2010

  10. Piper Advanced Trainers • Late 80’s – Cheyenne IIIA based platform • High performance twin turboprop • Turbine transition training • Airline IOE training • SOP indoctrination • CRM indoctrination • EFIS integrated avionics • Same as in many airliners • Collins ProLine II

  11. Piper Cheyenne Advanced Trainer • Popular with many airlines • Lufthansa • Austrian Airlines • Sabena • Alitalia • All Nippon Airways • Korean Air • CAA China

  12. Lessons learned from the Cheyenne AT program • Turbine transition training is essential part of airline pilot curriculum • Focus on normal operations (SOP, CRM, MCC) • Only airline sponsored schools can afford advanced turbine trainers

  13. Training concepts • “Training for the ratings” • Minimum costs to get licenses • Small private flight schools • “Training for competency” • More expensive, quality oriented • Airline sponsored flight schools

  14. The goal • Create turbine transition training platform • Affordable & cost effective • Fulfilling the training objectives • Efficiently simulating regional airliner • Line-maintainable for high utility

  15. IOE Training objectives • Familiarize with turbine aircraft • Performance • Systems • Operating procedures • Familiarize with operating environment • Weather • Air traffic services • Company procedures • Build pilot’s personality • Decision making • Airmanship • Resource management

  16. TTTP requirements • Performance • Cruise speed 250+ kts • Endurance up to 4 hours • Runway length <1000 m • 150+ kts approach capability • Systems • Pressurization (FL250+ capability) • Ice protection, FIKI certification • Retractable landing gear

  17. TTTP requirements • Avionics • Two-pilot glass cockpit • FMS • Weather radar • Training environment • Dual controls & instrumentation • Observer work station with Com • Tracking & debriefing system

  18. Does the TTTP need two engines? • We believe not • IOE pilots are already multi-engine qualified • IOE training is not focused on emergency procedures • Type specific contingencies are part of type rating curriculum

  19. Turbine Transition Training Platform Based on PA-46-500TP Piper Meridian

  20. Piper Meridian • Single-engine turboprop • PT6A-42A engine

  21. True turbine performance • Certified to FL300 • Cruising speed 260+ kts • Climb rate 1600 fpm • Approach capability 160+ kts

  22. True turbine-class systems • Bleed-air powered pressurization • With emergency pressurization capability • Quick-donning emergency oxygen • Flight Into Known Icing • Pneumatic/electric ice protection • Hydraulically operated landing gear

  23. State-of-the-art avionics • Two pilot work stations • Dual AHRS and ADC • Dual primary flight displays • Synthetic vision capability • FMS • Alphanumeric keyboard • Coupled V-NAV capability • Dual channel, 3-axis autopilot • Advanced modes • Crew Alerting System

  24. Economically efficient • Low acquisition costs • $1 Million below next competition • Low operating costs • 150 litres of Jet A-1 per hour • 2310 kg MTOW (may be reduced to 1999 kg) • 3600 hours TBO • Electronic ECTM

  25. Simulates regional airliner ops • Equal performance to most regional turboprops • ATR-72 • Saab 340 • Dash 8 • Similar range and runway requirements • <800 m takeoff & landing runway • 4 hour / 1000 NM range

  26. Adaptation to training platform • Interior modification • Observer workstation with COM • Oxygen system modification • Maintainability • H.I.D. and L.E.D. external lights • Stronger electrical components • More maintenance access panels

  27. Tracking & debriefing system • Automatic flight data download • Using GSM modem • Tracking & analysis software • Effective evaluation tool for instructors • SOP indoctrination • Exceedance analysis

  28. Program timeline • Basic definition – complete • Engineering task orders – complete • Final design freeze – March 31, 2011 • STC Certification – December 31, 2011 • Q1 / 2012 • PA46 TTTP available to flight schools
