Guarding the Forest - Cessna 182 Skylane

The Cessna 182 Skylane (Sky Trail) is an American single-engine, four-seater light aircraft produced (intermittently) from 1956 to the present. At the moment, the light-engine Cessna 182 Skylane is one of the most mass-produced aircraft in the world, ranking second among civil aircraft.

The first flight of the Cessna 182 Skylane took place in 1956, and a few months later, this aircraft began to be actively mastered by customers, and, from year to year, the number of orders only continued to increase. In essence, the appearance and design of the Cessna 182 Skylane is very similar to the 180 model, however, several design innovations and improved aircraft performance made this aircraft a true legend.

The initial model of the light-engine Cessna 182 Skylane was equipped with a Continental O-470-L piston engine capable of developing 230 hp, which was truly spectacular by the standards of the mid-50s of the last century. The aircraft was capable of covering distances of more than 1.5 thousand kilometers, at a cruising speed of about 250 km / h. The maximum take-off weight of the base production model Cessna 182 Skylane was 1157 kilograms, while, in addition to four people on board the aircraft, it was possible to equip the aircraft with an additional load of 80 kilograms, or to take on board two children with a total weight not exceeding the maximum allowable take-off weight.

Cessna 182A Skylane

Nine months after the release of the base model, American aircraft designers presented a modification of the Cessna 182A Skylane, featuring a number of modified configurations inside the cabin and an increased take-off weight of up to 1202 kg.

In the period from 1958 to 1960, aircraft manufacturers presented three more new models - Cessna 182B Skylane, Cessna 182C Skylane and Cessna 182D Skylane, which do not differ in technical innovations from the base model, but have a number of functional improvements (new seats, avionics, the ability to install a float chassis, etc.).

Cessna 182E Skylane

The Cessna 182E Skylane, which began production in 1961, received a fuselage reinforced with additional struts, and the maximum aircraft carrying capacity increased to 1270 kg. The models Cessna 182F Skylane and Cessna 182G Skylane were similar, with new avionics and a number of additional options (radio, light in the cockpit, etc.).

Cessna 182H Skylane

Due to the fact that the Continental O-470-L aircraft engine used on previous models was problematic in terms of maintenance, in 1964, American aircraft manufacturers introduced the Cessna 182H Skylane model, equipped with a Continental O-470-R piston engine of the same power - 230 hp.

From 1964 to 1966, the American aircraft manufacturer introduced three more models of its aircraft - the Cessna 182J Skylane, Cessna 182K Skylane and Cessna 182L Skylane, with changes in the interior design of the cockpit - the seats were adapted for long flight, and the side windows were expanded to increase the field of view. both the pilot and the passengers.

Cessna 182M Skylane

The Cessna 182M Skylane modification, which appeared in 1968, was an experimental model with a shaped wing profile, but due to the increased price, despite the fact that the aircraft controllability improved, the aircraft did not become in demand among customers.

The Cessna 182N Skylane and Cessna 182P Skylane models received a stiffer fuselage and could take off with a maximum total weight of 1338 kilograms, which was suitable for transporting goods on a par with passenger transportation.

Cessna 182Q Skylane

The Cessna 182Q Skylane received a new 230 hp Continental O-470-U engine, however, due to a number of technical parameters of this power plant, the aircraft produced ceased to enjoy proper popularity, since their maintenance has become significantly more expensive.

Cessna 182R Skylane

The Cessna 182R Skylane received new fuel tanks, resulting in increased maximum travel distance. In addition, now, the takeoff weight of the aircraft could be 1406 kg, while for landing, this value remained the same - 1338 kg, mainly due to the characteristics of the chassis.

Cessna 182S Skylane

The Cessna 182S Skylane light aircraft is the first in the current model line to feature the new Lycoming IO-540-AB1A5 aircraft engine, which is inexpensive and easy to operate compared to the previous one. Engine power remained unchanged, amounting to 239 hp, while its service life was increased by 12%. Among other things, the Cessna 182S Skylane became the first in the program of restarting the production of these aircraft after an 11-year hiatus, and therefore enjoyed quite a lot of popularity.

Cessna 182T Skylane

The Cessna 182T Skylane model has undergone a number of changes in the aircraft cabin, with more spacious tanks being placed on the aircraft, allowing it to cover distances of 1,722 kilometers at a cruising speed of 269 km / h and an altitude of up to 5515 meters.

The Cessna 182R Skylane RG aircraft received a new, improved Lycoming O-540-J3C5D piston engine, with a capacity of 235 hp, capable of accelerating the aircraft to a maximum speed of 283 kmph.

Cessna T182 Skylane

The Cessna T182 Skylane modification received new aviation equipment without changing its flight characteristics, however, due to the high price, only about 200 units of these aircraft were produced.

The Cessna T182T Skylane was equipped with a fuel injection function, as a result of which the flight speed of this aircraft increased to 280 km / h, however, the high price did not lead this model to the desired success from the aircraft designers.

Сessna TR182 Turbo Skylane RG

The Cessna TR182 Turbo Skylane RG received retractable landing gear, which greatly increased the handling and maneuverability of this aircraft. At the moment, from the point of view of the technical plan of aircraft developers, this modification is the best. In addition, improved aerodynamics made it possible to reduce the fuel consumption of the aircraft, which increased the maximum flight range to 1,870 km.

Cessna T182JT-A Turbo Skylane JT-A

The modern modification of the Cessna T182JT-A Turbo Skylane JT-A was introduced in 2013, and had not only a new diesel aircraft engine SMA SR305-230 with a capacity of 227 hp, but could also accelerate to 289 km / h (cruising speed). At the moment, only a few units of this aircraft have been produced, since one of the negative components was the price, which currently has reached 535 thousand dollars.

The Cessna 182 Robertson STOL is a modified version of the base production model with the ability to take off and land on short runways.

In total, over a 48-year period, the American aircraft corporation Cessna has produced about 23 thousand aircraft of this model, which continue to be popular both among private owners and among schools for training pilots.

In Kazavialesoohrana, the Cessna 182 Skylane aircraft is used for forestry operations.

On February 25, 2021, a meeting was held on the formation of an anti-corruption culture among civil servants

On February 25, 2021, under the chairmanship of A.A. Kesimbaev, General Director of Kazavialesoohrana a videoconferencing meeting was held on the formation of an anti-corruption culture among civil servants. On the agenda of the meeting, the issues of organizing the institution of anti-corruption compliance in the subjects of the quasi-public sector were voiced.

During the meeting, the head of the legal department Ibrayev Zh.O. spoke:
In order to prevent corruption in the quasi-public sector, the Agency initiated the introduction of the institution of compliance services responsible for compliance with corporate integrity standards. From October 17, 2020, such an institution has been introduced at the legislative level. Corresponding amendments were made to the Law "On Combating Corruption". For the quasi-public sector, this rule is mandatory. On the basis of a letter of recommendation from the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Combating Corruption (Anti-Corruption Service) entry No. 31-21 dated 01/12/2021, a compliance service was created at the Enterprise by assigning the function of this service to the legal department of the enterprise. The activities of the Compliance Service are carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Combating Corruption", in pursuance of the "Action Plan for the Implementation of the Anti-Corruption Program", "Anti-Corruption Strategy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2015-2025", "Messages of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan" Strategy "Kazakhstan-2050": a new political course of the established state ", as well as the provisions of the" Plan of the nation "100 concrete steps" for the implementation of 5 institutional reforms "and within the framework of the developed and approved" PLAN of work in the Republican State Enterprise "Kazavialesoohrana" for the prevention of corruption offenses " with the adoption to the management of the guidelines for organizing the institution of anti-corruption compliance in the subjects of the quasi-public sector, approved by the Chairman of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Combating Corruption (Anti-Corruption Service) dated 30.12.2020.
For information
The Republic of Kazakhstan has modern anti-corruption legislation, the basis of which is the laws "On Combating Corruption" and "On the Civil Service of the Republic of Kazakhstan", a number of program documents are also being implemented, a special authorized body has been formed that comprehensively implements functions in the field of civil service and combating corruption, is actively implemented international cooperation in the field of anti-corruption activities. In 2019, the structure of the Authorized Anti-Corruption Body was changed by separating the Anti-Corruption Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter - the Anti-Corruption Body) into a separate department, in which a number of new divisions were created, including the Department for Investigation of Cases in the Quasi-Public Sector ... Subparagraph 31 of Article 3 of the Budget Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan establishes that state enterprises, limited liability partnerships, joint stock companies, including national management holdings, national holdings, national companies, the founder, participant or shareholder of which is the state, as well as subsidiaries, dependent and other legal entities that are affiliated with them in accordance with the legislative acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan are subjects of the quasi-public sector. The main legislative act in the field of combating and combating corruption both in the public service and in the subjects of the quasi-public sector is the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Combating Corruption" dated November 18, 2015.
The main innovations of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Combating Corruption" (as opposed to the previous one) include:
- focus on the application of preventive measures to combat corruption;
- Expansion of the range of anti-corruption actors (along with the anti-corruption body, they include practically all state bodies, public associations, legal entities and individuals, including subjects of the quasi-public sector);
- introduction of a system of anti-corruption measures, the implementation of some of which is entrusted to the subjects of the quasi-public sector;
- distinction between corruption offenses.
The Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Amendments and Additions" to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Civil Service and Anti-Corruption Issues "No. 273-VI ZRK dated November 26, 2019 amended a number of regulatory legal acts, including the ZRK" On Anti-Corruption ", further on text - Law.
The main changes in the Law concerning the activities of the KMG group of companies:
1. Disciplinary responsibility has been introduced for the heads of the quasi-public sector entities for non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of official duties to prevent the commission of corruption offenses by subordinate employees (paragraph 1-1 of Article 22 of the Law).
2. The concept of a Person performing managerial functions in a state organization or a subject of a quasi-public sector has been introduced - this is a person who permanently, temporarily or by special authority performs organizational and administrative or administrative functions in these organizations (subparagraph 2-1 of Article 1 of the Law). Administrative and economic functions - the right to manage and dispose of property on the balance sheet of an organization granted in the manner prescribed by the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan (subparagraph 1 of Article 1 of the Law); organizational and administrative functions - the right, granted in the manner prescribed by the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan, to issue orders and orders that are binding on subordinates in the service, as well as to apply incentives and disciplinary sanctions in relation to subordinates (subparagraph 14 of Article 1 of the Law). Administrative and economic functions - the right to manage and dispose of property on the balance sheet of an organization granted in accordance with the procedure established by the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan (subparagraph 2-1 of article 1 of the Law).
3. The concept of "Officials” excludes persons performing organizational, administrative and administrative functions in the subjects of the quasi-public sector. In this regard, the restrictions provided for in Article 13 of the Law no longer apply to persons carrying out activities in the subjects of the quasi-public sector.
4. The system of anti-corruption measures includes the conduct of scientific anti-corruption expertise of draft regulatory legal acts in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
5. The powers of the Anti-Corruption Body, provided for in Article 21 of the Law, are supplemented by the right to request information and materials from subjects of the quasi-public sector in the manner prescribed by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Taking into account the new interpretation of Article 11 that persons performing managerial functions in a quasi-public sector entity are equated to persons authorized to perform public functions, we draw attention to the correct observance of this Article of the Law. The law provides for two versions of Article 11 of the Law: the current one, in effect until January 1, 2021, and the second, which will be in effect after this date. In the current version of Article 11 of the Law, for a period until January 01, 2021, declarations of income and property, as well as information on bank deposits, participation in legal entities, trusts, etc., are submitted only by candidates for a position related to the performance of functions equated to state functions and their spouses. Such candidates submit to the company the relevant certificates of submission of the declaration before the appointment. According to Article 11, introduced from January 1, 2021, persons equated to persons authorized to perform public functions and their spouses will have to submit regular income and property declarations. The information contained in the declarations will be released to the public. Previously, the Law and the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan did not contain the concept of offenses regarding the procedure for the procurement of goods, works, services and did not provide for disciplinary liability of heads of quasi-public sector entities for non-performance or improper performance of official duties by subordinate employees. Now these violations are classified as disciplinary offenses, and provide for disciplinary liability of the heads of the subjects of the quasi-public sector for non-performance or improper performance of official duties to prevent the commission of corruption offenses by subordinate employees.
Moreover, the legislator has identified a number of offenses in the area of violation of the procedure for procurement of goods, works, services, where the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Administrative Offenses" provides for liability for their commission, namely: Article 207-1. Violation of the procedure for the procurement of goods, works, services of national management holdings, national holdings, national companies and organizations, fifty or more percent of voting shares (stakes in the authorized capital) of which directly or indirectly belong to the national management holding, national holding, national company.
1. Establishment of qualification requirements in the tender documentation (auction documentation) for potential suppliers that are not provided for by the procurement procedure, or indication in the tender documentation (auction documentation) or in the information posted when making purchases by requesting price proposals for characteristics that determine the belonging of the purchased goods, works, services to individual potential suppliers, with the exception of cases provided for by the procurement procedure, entails a fine for officials in the amount of fifty monthly calculation indices.
2. Refusal to carry out purchases in cases not provided for by the procurement procedure shall entail a fine for officials in the amount of fifty monthly calculation indices.
3. Recognition of a potential supplier and (or) the subcontractors (co-executors) of work or services attracted by him as inappropriate to qualification requirements and (or) the requirements of tender documents (auction documents) on grounds not provided for by the procurement procedure, entails a fine for officials in the amount of fifty monthly calculated indicators.
4. Failure to divide the procurement of goods, works, services into lots according to their homogeneous types and the place of their delivery (execution, provision), except for the cases provided for by the procurement procedure, entails a fine for officials in the amount of ten monthly calculation indices.
5. Preparation of a deliberately false expert opinion by a procurement expert commission or a procurement expert, on the basis of which an illegal decision was made by the tender commission (auction commission), entails a fine in the amount of fifty monthly calculation indices.
6. Carrying out purchases from one source by directly concluding a procurement contract in cases not provided for by the procurement procedure entails a fine for officials in the amount of fifty monthly calculation indices.
At the end of the meeting, Arman Kesimbaev, General Director of the Kazavialesoohrana State Enterprise, spoke:

- "The anti-corruption behavior of civil servants is established by Article 52 of the Law on Civil Service, from the norms of which it follows that civil servants must resist manifestations of corruption, prevent corruption offenses, must suppress the facts of corruption offenses by other civil servants. has information about a corruption offense, he must take the necessary measures to prevent and terminate such an offense, including immediately informing his superior, the leadership of the state body in which he works, authorized state bodies in writing. inform the specified persons and bodies about cases of persuading him by other persons to commit corruption offenses ".

A working meeting was held on February 23, 2021

On February 23, 2021, at the initiative of the UNDP project on biodiversity conservation in the Republic of Kazakhstan, a working meeting was held by videoconference to discuss the prevention and suppression of forest law violations, measures to prevent forest fires, their timely detection and elimination, and ensure compliance with the state forestry fund by individuals and legal entities of fire safety rules.

The meeting was attended by representatives of regional departments of natural resources and environmental management, regional territorial inspectorates, leading higher educational institutions in the field of forestry and agriculture. FSC inspector VP Sanarov took part in the meeting on behalf of RGKP Kazavialesoohrana.

GIS Technologies Guarding the Forest

Since 2020, the aviation forest protection service has also become an active user of GIS technologies in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The observer pilots of the Kazavialesoohrana began to use mobile information offline maps of the state forest fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan, converted from ArcGis layers to mobile devices to improve the efficiency of fire fighting. The specificity of the mapping tasks solved by this service is the efficiency of obtaining materials and making decisions, for which GIS is very effective. They are designed to support management decision-making on the detection and suppression of fires by the aviation forest fire protection service. This is achieved by the integration of spatially consistent cartographic, satellite and operational data on forest fire in the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the context of the enterprise's activities RGKP "Kazavialesoohrana" functionally GIS solves several tasks:

1. Preparation of cartographic products and statistical reports on WEB-servers;

2. Daily work with operational data to assess the state and burning of forests, make management decisions on extinguishing fires;

3. Preparation of reporting cartographic materials during the fire season and at the end of it.

GIS technologies for forestry are young and have not yet developed much experience in their use. But they have a great prospect of being used to automate changes to taxation descriptions and optimize forest management in general. From the standpoint of developers, it is seen that the main direction of their development in the near future will be to improve the user interface of programs, increase their reliability and increase the degree of automation.

Guarding the Forest - Eurocopter 145 helicopter

The VK-117 helicopter is the first-born of the joint helicopter program of Germany and Japan. Serial production of VK-117 was launched in 1982.

Having modernized the VK 117 model, the Eurocopter corporation has created a modern EC 145 helicopter. The helicopter is based on the Eurocopter / Kawasaki VK 117 S-1 model and originally bore the designation VK 117S-2.

The new helicopter had a larger cockpit and a larger take-off weight. The nose section of the fuselage was redesigned (taking into account the developments in EC 135), which reduced aerodynamic drag and improved visibility for the crew. The main rotor with an optimized profile and updated avionics became the distinctive features of the helicopter.

One of the most successful light helicopters of Airbus Helicopters - H135 (formerly EC135 T3 / P3), is known for its high endurance, compactness, low noise level, reliability, functionality and economy.

Model EC 145 - operated by a crew of 1-2 pilots and is designed to carry 9 passengers. Belongs to the class of light vehicles and weighs 1792 kg. Maximum takeoff weight 3585 kg, payload 1793 kg. The helicopter is equipped with a power plant consisting of two Tyrbomeca Arriel 1E2 turbo engines with a capacity of 738 hp. with., each. The maximum flight speed is 268 km / h. Flight range 680 km. The highest rise is 5240 km.

Diagram of the EC 145 helicopter

The EC 145, in contrast to the EC 135, has retained the classic single-screw design. Despite the original plans to equip the EC 145 with a tail rotor - a fenestron, the Eurocopter designers, after a series of experiments and analysis of the experience in the development and operation of the AS 365, abandoned this idea, considering the classic propeller safe enough for a helicopter with a takeoff weight of over 3.5 tons.

Helicopter cockpit EC 145

The maximum take-off weight in the process of modernization has increased markedly and reached 3585 kg or 3650 kg in the case of work with cargo on an external sling. The maximum carrying capacity has increased from 1590 kg (VK 117) to 1790 kg (EC 145). The diameters of the propellers remained the same as on the VK 117: the carrier - 11 m, the helmsman - 1.96 m, so the overall characteristic dimensions of the helicopter were kept the same. Only the overall height has increased by 10 cm due to the increase in chassis clearance.

The tail rotor is two-bladed, with a common horizontal hinge, installed at the end of the keel on the left side, rotates clockwise. The blades are rectangular in plan, twisted, made of reinforced fiberglass with an improved profile.

When developing the EC 145 helicopter, the designers focused on increasing the carrying capacity and capacity of the helicopter, improving its flight performance and operational characteristics. The fuselage is almost completely new. While maintaining the overall layout, he received a much more streamlined shape. A nose section from an EC 135 helicopter was installed in front. It not only reduced harmful drag, but also significantly improved the pilot's view and comfort. The rear fuselage and cargo hatch flaps are also more streamlined. At the same time, the length of the fuselage increased by 20 cm.

Main rotor with rigid attachment of the blades to the hub. Titanium alloy bush with roller bearing axial joints and steel torsion bars. The blades are rectangular in plan, made of reinforced fiberglass, with a stainless steel erosion protection pad along the blade tip. Manual folding of the blades is provided. Blades resource 1000 h.

In June 2001, the Eurocopter consortium demonstrated the EC 145 helicopter for the first time at an air show in Paris and collected the first export orders for the machine. Following the French government services, customers from other countries began to acquire a new car. The first were the Germans. The supply of EU helicopters to 145 customers began in April 2002. In total, the assembly shop in Donauworth has built 15 machines during this year. German helicopter builders delivered another 25 vehicles in 2003. In 2004, the consortium's press service announced the completion of the assembly of the fiftieth EU 145.

Thus, the deep modernization of the good old VK 117 carried out in 1997-2000 was crowned with success. It was replaced on the assembly line by a brand new EU 145. And although orders for the helicopter were still piecemeal, they were stable and encouraging. The revolution in the EU 145 helicopter market was made by the Americans.

After the EU 145 was certified in the USA in February 2002 and participated in the largest American helicopter exhibition Heli-Expo 2002, orders from the New World were poured on it. In September 2003, the first EU 145 went overseas. The main American customer for the EU 145 (UH-72A) was the Armed Forces. For the first time since World War I, the United States has adopted an aircraft of foreign design. This happened as a result of a series of failures that befell the Americans in the development of programs for light military helicopters.

Helicopter EC 145 owned by AO "Kazaviaspas"

Rescue Services welcomed the EC 145 with a great deal of appreciation for the improved performance and larger cabin. EC 145 has earned high praise in aviation divisions and emergency medical service companies. The helicopter cockpit can accommodate two stretchers, three medical specialists and all the necessary medical equipment, including those for intensive care.

Rear cargo doors allow - quickly and without problems - loading and unloading of patients and necessary medical equipment. Moreover, unloading of patients on a stretcher can be safely carried out with rotating main and tail rotor, which significantly speeds up the process of delivering the patient (wounded) to the operating table and increases the likelihood of his survival.

Good sound insulation of the cockpit, low vibration level and other features of the EC 145 provide doctors in flight with comfortable working conditions, and patients with relative comfort during the flight. The low noise level is also a very attractive feature of the EU 145 for security and law enforcement services, so the helicopter was purchased by the French Civil Security Administration (Securite Civile), the French gendarmerie, the Hesse police (land in Germany), etc.

As of the end of 2011, 87 operators from 32 countries operated more than 230 EU 145 helicopters.

Helicopter EC 145 used in the Akmola aviation department to carry out forestry operations

The experience of using the EU 145 has been accumulated by the operators. In general, it is positive. One of the EU 145 even landed on the Mont Blanc peak (height 4810 m) in 2003. However, both European and American customers have received requests to increase the altitude performance of the helicopter, as well as flight performance when operating in hot climates.

In Kazavialesoohrana, the Eurocopter 145 helicopter is used to carry out forestry operations, as well as flights aimed at identifying and suppressing the facts of poaching, violations of hunting and fishing rules, carried out in conjunction with environmental authorities.
