In 2014 the research and development department was established as a core group to develop mature innovative technologies. A brief history of achievements will be showcased. Owing-to the well-established partnerships with various universities and research institution local and abroad, Aerosud has made excellent progress leading various technologies. The research group is comprised of two focus area, metallic, composite and computational mechanics. The metallic group investigates additive manufacturing and forming technologies. The composite group investigates thermoset and thermoplastic technologies. The computational mechanics group investigates stress analysis methods and workflow automation for certification. A brief overview of the group’s studies and achievements will be showcased.
Speaker – Jean-Pierre Serfontein
TOPIC DESCRIPTION
The composite laboratory was established to support the Aerosud’s composite manufacturing programme. The talk aims to highlight fundamental issues that can arise in composite manufacturing. It is also intended to showcase the material testing capabilities in Aerosud Aviation; in particular, the thermal and mechanical testing. It will show various ways in which we are able to give a comprehensive material testing solution to our customers.

This presentation will highlight the challenges that face smaller airports who host scheduled services as a result of the amended Part 111 of the Civil Aviation Regulations 2011 that came into effect on the 1st May 2019. These regulations provide for airports that host scheduled service to become a Designated Airport in terms of the provisions of Part 111 and for any company providing catering at a Designated Airport to have a Security Program and be regulated by the SACAA. The presentation discusses practical steps to overcoming some of the challenges that may arise on the path to compliance.
Speaker – David Alexander
Day 3 on 6 July 2019
The Safety-First Campaign was initiated in 2013 and has been successful in visiting Airfields, Flight Schools and Training Facilities around the Country to advocate Safety amongst the Recreational Aviation pilots. The Safety First Aviator theme for the 2019 Financial Year is Normalisation of Deviance. Once we have rationalized our need to take shortcuts often enough, reinforced with positive (successful outcomes), the shortcut becomes the new standard of behaviour. It becomes the new “normal.” Once this happens on a large scale, no one within the organization can see the shortcomings in the behaviour because it now seems normal. How big is Normalisation of Deviance in recreational aviation in South Africa? We have 5 presenters all in different fields explaining how deviances effect their industry in recreational Aviation.
Speakers – Cobus Toerien, Piet Fourie, Santjie White, Mike Boywer, Kylee Burnett
TOPIC DESCRIPTION
An introduction of the Aero Club of South Africa, structure, roles and benefits in preserving free flight in South Africa.
