Nick: Hello, thisis Nick. Apologize for my temporary absence from the airwaves, which is due toa very big project. Now I am back. I’m pleased to tell you that we have threepieces of news for this episode. Claire?
Claire: Yes.Indeed. First, let’s take a flight to Paris. The grand airshow is there.
Nick: Right, theInternational Paris Air Show 2019. As world’s largest air show measured bynumber of exhibitors and size of exhibit space, it once again brings togetherall the players in this global industry around the latest technologicalinnovations from June 17-23. The first 4 days are exclusively for tradevisitors, seeing a ferocious battle among manufacturers such as Boeing, Airbus,ATR, Embraer, and so on. Now let’s go through some highlights:
Claire:IAG(International Airline Group) and Boeing stole the show at the end of thesecond day with a surprise 200-commitment for the 737 Max, which is really amuch-needed vote of confidence in the aircraft model.
Nick: Yes, thisis the first order for the Max since the aircraft was grounded in April. It wasthought orders for the type would be unlikely at the show, given it is still toreturn to service.
Claire: ForAirbus, this year marks its 50thanniversary. It so far has enjoyedbumper deals in the air show. On the first day, Air Lease Corporation aloneordered 100 aircraft, including the newly launched A321XLR which shows greatmomentum and popularity. IAG ordered 14, Cebu Pacific signed a MOU (memorandumof understanding) for 10 in the first two days of the airshow.
Nick: The FrenchPresident Macron also attended the event. He arrived at the Airshow on anA330MRTT, and revealed Airbus’s first concept models for New Generation Fighterand Remote Carriers.
Claire: What elsecaught your eyes?
Nick: Theautonomous air taxi presented by Airbus and Boeing. It’s believed as how you’lltravel in the future. Steve Norland, General Manager of Boeing Next, said “ Achallenge of moving out in this new space of future mobility is you really needto develop an entire ecosystem, it's not just about the airplane — althoughthat is a key component. It's really about the infrastructure that's going tobe needed”
Claire: Can’tagree more, just like the smart city introduced in China-EU Drone Workshop lastmonth.
Nick: Then, herewe are in Shenzhen, the renowned capital city of UAS. Big meeting, many peoplemeet up.
Claire: Lastyear, I was there showering in the rain of information. You can check ourepisode for more. This year, I stayed put. Still, many friends were there, andthey are so kind to be our correspondent of this show to keep usupdated.
Nick: With thestate-of-art UAS technologies clustering in the exhibition, we can glimpse at apicture of near future. And some big ideas may pop up through relaxing talkswith different people of different backgrounds. Then through joint efforts,ideas somehow turn into reality benefiting all mankind.
Claire: And nowlet’s move to news concerning regulation updates this week. Recently, theFlight Standard Department of CAAC has issued the Procedures of Assessment for Primary CategoryAircraft in CPL and Instrument Rating Training. This means some primarycategory aircraft will be used as trainers for Instrument Rating and CPL.
Nick: Noted, theprimary category aircraft here includes LSA and Ultralight aircraft.
Claire: Yes, sothose aircraft manufacturers are encouraged to apply to FS Department of CAACfor the model assessment. This is a big breakthrough for flight training aswell as private flying.
Nick: This newregulation significantly extends the usage of those aircraft and willdefinitely reduce the cost of pilot training. Then it will contribute to thecultivation of next generation aviation professionals who are badly need inChina and the rest of the world. It reminds me of the talk with Mr.Xue Guohangbefore.
Claire: Nextgeneration is the future, right?
