Global Environment For Aviation 2004 To 2014
The first presentation will put forward a view of the likely environment in which aviation will have to develop and operate over the next ten years. The material will cover such matters as political, strategic, economic, safety, and social issues likely to influence the development of civil and military aviation in the future. Civil Aviation 2004/14 This section of the programme will discuss the policy under which civil aviation will develop on the next ten years. The presentations will include such matters as the foreign ownership of New Zealand airlines, the “Single Aviation Market” in Australasia, and the equity position New Zealand governments will hold in New Zealand airlines in the future. The Bi Lateral/Multi Lateral relationship development in the years ahead will also be reviewed. Markets for air travel can be considered in several segments, namely the long haul international market, regional international, and local domestic markets. The role of the Value Based Airlines and their impact on the Full Service carrier will be discussed in each of these markets. A manufacturers view of the evolution of the airline markets will be presented, in particular focusing on the likely importance of the “hub to hub” and “point to point” operations and the impact these network configurations will have on the size and shape of the airline fleets in the future. Military Aviation 2004/14In these times of changing military threats and the development of terrorism in the Middle East and in South east Asia in particular, the need to consider defence policy should be high on the agenda. The overall strategy for the development of the defence forces of New Zealand, their relationship with those of our traditional allies, and our ability to fund the defence forces going forward will be reviewed.The impact of the policy on the Army, Navy, and the RNZAF and the respective roles each service will be discussed. The implications for the Air Force in particular will be reviewed as it effects the equipment operated, training requirements, and the size of the force. Will provision be made to retain/regain the skills recently lost with the disbanding of the A4 strike capability .What Do We Think?The final session will discuss the information provided in the papers presented at the Symposium and attempt to answer the question “Can New Zealand survive in International Aviation both Civil and Military”? The views of the audience will be canvassed to determine the Symposiums view on the future direction of aviation development in New Zealand. Do we agree with the direction suggested by the speakers here today or should there be changes to both civil and military aviation policy that will benefit the country? Annual General MeetingThe Annual General Meeting of the NZ Division of the Society will be held at 1700 following the conclusion of the Symposium. All members of the Division are invited to attend.Cocktail Party And DinnerThe Society Cocktail Party and Dinner will be held at the James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor with cocktails from 1900 and dinner at 1945.

The Society has as a consequence decided an appropriate theme for the 2003 Symposium is a review of the progress New Zealand aviation has made over the subsequent 100 years. The subject matter will be examined in five industry segments representing major areas of development during the 20th century. An overview of these achievements will be offered. The Early Years From 1903Richard Pearse’s achievements in the early years of the 20th century were the equal of his contemporaries in Australia, the USA, and Europe. The presentation will review the work of all the early pioneers, and especially the aircraft Pearse flew at about the same time as the Wrights first powered flights. The Wright Brothers development and demonstration of a practical aircraft will be discussed. The early development of aviation in New Zealand leading to the establishment of civil and military flying in this country will be included in the presentation. The Creation Of The RNZAFMilitary aviation in New Zealand has its roots in the earliest flying activities undertaken in New Zealand. The Walsh Brothers Flying School at Kohimarama was the site of the first military pilot training programme in the country. The pilots were destined for the RFC in the UK in support of the war effort at that time. From these modest beginnings, the foundations were laid for the eventual establishment of the RNZAF as we know it today. During the intervening years the service distinguished itself in war and peace and earned an enviable reputation for professional and effective operations. These aspects will be explored in the presentation The Regulator-Air Dept To CAANZThe establishment of an infrastructure that could promote a safe as well as a sound economic base on which civil aviation could grow was a task only government could undertake. A Department of Civil Aviation was established. The Director of Civil Aviation administered the Regulations, managed Airports, the Air Traffic Control System, and the Rescue Fire Service. The MOT managed the air rights associated with the Bilateral Agreements negotiated between Contracting States on behalf of the Government. The paper will look at the contribution the "Regulator" has made to the growth and safe management of aviation over the years.Civil Aviation The growth and development of Civil Aviation in both the National and International arenas will be discussed. We will look at the establishment of the early operators in the 1930’s, the niche players of the industry, and the establishment of NAC. Pioneering of air routes to/from this country, the establishment of TEAL/Air New Zealand, and the contribution of foreign operators to the development of New Zealand’s international aviation aspirations will be reviewed. Agricultural AviationThe National Economy owes much to the Agricultural Aviation Industry. Aerial Topdressing from its beginnings in the late 1940’s to its peak in the 1970’s owes much to a few pioneers with the energy to turn the vision into reality. The industry has matured and is an integral part of the farming infrastructure of this country. The Symposium will look at the operators, aircraft and some of the people who made this all happen. Annual General MeetingThe Annual General Meeting of the NZ Division of the Society will be held at 1700 following the conclusion of the Symposium. All members of the Division are invited to attend. Cocktail Party And DinnerThe Society Cocktail Party and Dinner will be held at the James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor with cocktails from 1900 and dinner at 1945. New Zealand Aeronautical Trusts Awards will be presented during the dinner.

Since that time there have been advances in the art and science of aviation that could not have been dreamed of by those pioneers in the early part of the 20th century. We however are not to be deterred by the difficulties of trying to forecast the future and intend to explore developments in aviation that are likely to touch the everyday lives of New Zealanders in the first 25 years of the 21st century. It is intended to consider developments in civil aviation at two levels, commercial aviation and general aviation, plus look at military aviation in both the pilot training and transport aircraft development areas.CIVIL TRANSPORT AIRCRAFTThere are two major civil airliner projects now under development that will no doubt have a major impact on the airline business and its customers in the early part of the 21st century. These aircraft are being developed against two differing views of the market for air travel in the next 25 years. One view assumes that the major development will be the movement of an ever growing numbers of passengers travelling between the major hubs on the international air routes, while the other assumes the major development will be point to point routes that avoid the congestion of the established hubs of the international system. Each proposition requires a different solution and as a result quite different approaches to the design of aircraft to meet the demands of the assumed mission.We are indeed privileged to have speakers from Airbus Industries, The Boeing Company, Rolls Royce and General Electric, to present papers on the 550 passenger Airbus A380, the 250 passenger Boeing Sonic Cruiser, and the engines to power these major developments in aircraft design. MILITARY AVIATIONThe most significant development in the region relating to the training of military pilots is the integration of the Hawk into the RAAF pilot training programme as the "lead in fighter". Pilots being trained to fly RAAF FA18 or F 111 aircraft will progress through the Hawk on their way to receiving their rating on the supersonic aircraft. A speaker from the RAAF will deliver a paper on the role of the "lead in fighter" in the RAAF pilot training programme. Developments in military transport aircraft are few and far between these days and largely rely on derivatives of successful civil transport aircraft. This is demonstrated in the area of the air to air refuelling application, where successful civil transports have been developed into very effective refuelling platforms, able to extend the range and endurance of the fighting aircraft they support. EADS will present a paper on the development of the A310, A330, and A340, detailing how these aircraft and the proposed A400M might be modified and used in the tanker role. GENERAL AVIATIONSince the early 1950’s the Fletcher aircraft has been a big player in the agricultural aviation scene in New Zealand. It has appeared in several forms powered by both piston and turbine engines at various times. In later years this durable type has been developed into the Cresco derivative in the top dressing role. Pacific Aerospace has taken the bold step of redesigning the Cresco into a new derivative, the PAC750XL Utility, |
