NEWS The Premier II will be a twin turbofan, swept wing, light
jet aircraft featuring a high-strength, advanced composite fuselage that allows for a medium-jet sized cabin at light jet costs. New winglets and the new powerful and highly efficient Williams International FJ44-3AP engines, each producing 3,000 pounds of thrust, will allow the Premier II to climb unrestricted to 45,000 feet and fly a 1,500 nm (2,778 km) mission with one pilot and four passengers (800 lbs payload). Additionally, the higher thrust engines will increase maximum cruise speed to 465 knots (861 km/hr) at 33,000 feet and improve high/hot take-off operations.

ANAC CERTIFICATION
Max-Viz announces the Brazilian ANAC certifica- tion approval (2009S08-09) for the installation of the
new EVS-1500 Enhanced Vision System on S-76 A and C helicopters associated with the One Sky Aviation STC# SR02322AK. “The installation on the Aero Rio S-76 went
very smoothly,” states Cary Foster, co-owner of One Sky Aviation based in Anchorage, Alaska. “We were extremely impressed with our first interaction with the Agência Nacional De Aviação Civil in Brazil, who is responsible for certifying and approving U.S. STC’s for Brazil.” “This first ANAC approval for the S-76 STC through
One Sky Aviation will provide a significant enhancement for the available safety specific equipment to Brazilian op- erators,” says Elliott Troutman, President of Max-Viz. Cary Foster of One Sky Aviation states, “This EVS
availability to the S-76 operators within Brazil will have a dramatic impact on their overall operational flight safety. As a long standing EVS operator of One Sky’s aircraft, I can personally attest to the ability to avoid IMC conditions dur- ing VFR flight operations, and the CFIT avoidance capabil- ity of Max-Viz infrared EVS technology is second to none within the industry.”

delivery of the first Cessna Citation X to be fitted with Elliptical Winglets. The winglets were installed at the Wichita Cessna Service Center under Winglet Technology’s U.S. Federal Aviation Administration-approved Supplemental Type Certificate. Cessna and Winglet Technology, LLC, collaborated to develop the latter’s pat- ented Elliptical Winglet for retrofit on Cessna’s Citation X business jet. The patented Elliptical Winglet shape
ensures the lift distribution closely matches optimum lift distribution along the span of the wing, which reduces the induced drag of the aircraft. The result- ing drag reduction enhances opera- tional performance for the Citation X including decreased fuel consumption, increased speed and increased range. Winglet Technology received FAA
approval of the Elliptical Winglet instal- lation on the Citation X in June and delivered the first FAA approved retrofit kit to the Wichita Cessna Service Cen- ter. The retrofit kit includes flight and operations manual supplements along with an updated version of CESSNAV for customers who have purchased that subscription service from Cessna. In ad- dition to the installation of the Elliptical Winglets, the retrofit kit includes the re- placement of the existing anti-collision
