Turbine Transition Training Platform

The Piper Turbine Transition Training Platform is a cost-effective and efficient solution for training pilots on turbine aircraft. Based on the PA-46-500TP Piper Meridian, it simulates regional airliner operations and fulfills training objectives. With true turbine performance, advanced avionics, and low operating costs, it is the ideal platform for turbine transition training.

Presentation Transcript

  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
