Bush Pilot returns to first love in flying by John Mcmanus Jim Campbell is returning to his first love the unpredictable life of a tree skimming Bush Pilot. He misses hopping from Lake to Lake flying into marginal airstrips estimating time of Ait Ival and lording Over vistas of stately Pines and Inland oceans of the Canadian shield. Campbell 39, was raised in Bissett the re Awakening Gold town 175 kilo metres Northeast of Winnipeg on what Bush pilots Call the Eastern Shore. He grew up in a wilderness Academy of trappers traders and men whose air Manship rivalled the skill of explorers who sailed the horizons in search of new worlds. The flyer after graduating through years As a one aircraft owner to owner ship of several aircraft and then big City action As part owner of Perim Eter airlines is returning to a familiar haunt with advanced aviation and Busi Ness skills. Campbell said he believes the timing is right for his recent application to the Canadian transport commission for a charter licence to Fly single engine air airlines have no plans to ditch life rafts As fuel saving measure by John Mcmanus Canadian airlines have no plans to follow their . Counterparts to Dis card life rafts to reduce weight and save fuel. Jack Bailey regional supervisor of Large aircraft inspection for transport Canada in Winnipeg said the rafts Are regulation for airliners flying Over water. Fifteen . Airlines have been Given Federal aviation administration approval to discard life rafts on planes that Fly up to 260 Kilometres from Shore be tween cities. The airlines claim life raft removal reduces aircraft weight by 450 kilo Grams and will save an airline Mil lion or More a year in fuel costs. While there Are no plans in Canada to remove life rafts air Canada s maintenance superintendent in Winnipeg said other measures Are being taken to reduce aircraft weight. Jim Mackay said aircraft modifications and replacement of parts using lighter alloys Are among Steps being taken. He said the airline is considering removing nose wheel brakes on new Boeing 727 aircraft. He said the brakes could be safely removed. As Well Mackay said dc-9s, which were to be retired in four years Are being refurbished with lighter seats and other weight reducing equipment and will probably now be efficient until the end of the decade. New aircraft have built in fuel saving measures such As computers which prevent excessive fuel use Mackay said. Revised procedures for landings and take offs designed to reduce noise Levels Over built up areas also reduce fuel consumption. Airliners climb to designated altitudes faster to Burn less fuel at higher altitudes. There have been experiments with aircraft shutting Down one or More engines while taxiing but the delays it caused did not prove practical at crowded airports. Large airliners will Burn hundreds of pounds of fuel moving to take off position from the passenger terminal.

Craft North from St. Andrews Airport because of renewed Mineral exploration and development in Northern Manitoba. It will be called Campbell air Honor ing his father free trader William Leith Campbell and his Uncle Archie Campbell who was claimed by the Waters of Island Lake in 1945. In Northern aviation the stakes can be High where passengers Are ferried in tiny Piston powered air planes to Iso lated water bases or rough gravel air strips Campbell said. In the Over All Northern Landing strips have improved remarkably since 1 started Hying in 1964 and the differ ence in navigational aids and air plane instruments is almost As amazing As the u. S. Space program. Young pilots Are now capable of stepping up from flying for Small scheduled airlines in Manitoba to the flight decks of airlines because they have the instrument ratings required to Fly Jet equipment. Admittedly the jets Takeoff As fast As some Small air planes Fly but when you have youth on your Side and the kind of flying experience these kids get the transition is usually Campbell said.

We also intend to work with the native Community whose members have suffered More than any other group in this City Over the years and with organizations such As the Manitoba Branch of the Canadian Council of christians and he said.
