Why first commercial flights out of San Bernardino International Airport (KSBD) will be delayed by months

SAN BERNARDINO >> Prospective passengers on the first commercial flights out of San Bernardino International Airport, scheduled for this week, will have to wait out some major flight delays — months of delays.

Ultra-low-cost Mexican airline Volaris announced in April that flights between San Bernardino and Guadalajara, Mexico, would leave every Monday and Thursday starting June 29.

It was a major milestone for the airport, more than 20 years after Norton Air Force Base was shuttered and three years after the $20.5 million international arrivals terminal was completed.

But not quite everything was in place.

The airport is still looking for the required Customs and Border Patrol officers, said Mark Gibbs, director of aviation for SBIA.

It’s not clear when that hurdle will be cleared, but airport and Volaris officials still plan to begin the flights as early as possible, Gibbs said.

“Volaris remains committed to the market, which is fantastic,” he said. “It’s good for the community, first and foremost. It’s a matter of working with those guys to get the officers. We’re excited to continue working with Volaris.”

A Volaris spokesman confirmed the reason for the delay and the company’s continued commitment, although he put the responsibility for finding customs agents on the airport.

The other new flight that Volaris announced the same day as San Bernardino’s — between Oaxaca, Mexico, and Los Angeles International Airport — is still scheduled to begin this week, according to the spokesman.

November is the tentative date for service to begin in San Bernardino, according to Volaris, but Gibbs didn’t commit to a particular time.

Finding customs agents is an involved process, but Gibbs said he was optimistic.

“We’re not the only airport that customs is an issue for,” he said. “Industrywide, there’s a scarcity of resources for that.”

The Washington Post reported in 2016 that there would be “no quick fix” for a staffing shortage that led to complaints of long lines and 16-hour shifts.

Gibbs said he learned about six weeks ago that the flights would not begin on the announced date.

In 2014, Volaris began flying between Ontario International Airport and Guadalajara, putting it in competition with AeroMexico’s flights to the same destination. A second set of Volaris flights from Ontario to León, Guanajuato, started in May.

While commercial flights have been an elusive goal, San Bernardino has seen substantial increases in other areas in recent years.

Airport officials say the number of aircraft operating daily doubled from 2013 to 2016 — to 48,000 — and so far this year is 20 percent above that.

Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser, N2737M: Accident occurred June 25, 2017 in Chickaloon Alaska

Aviation Accident Final Report - National Transportation Safety Board: https://app.ntsb.gov/pdf 

Analysis

The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that he attempted to land on a 600-ft-long turf surface. He overflew the landing site three times to assess its suitability.

During the touchdown, the airplane bounced, and the pilot initiated a go-around. He reduced the flaps to 10°, turned the carburetor heat off, and applied full throttle; he could not remember the airspeed or trim position.

The airplane did not climb and touched down in a ravine just beyond the initial landing area. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the forward left side of the fuselage.

In the National Transportation Safety Board Pilot Aircraft Accident Report, the pilot reported that the accident could have been prevented if he had "More training in high altitude takeoffs and landings. More training in go-around techniques in bush planes."

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. 

Probable Cause and Findings

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: 
The pilot's improper landing flare on a turf runway, which necessitated a go-around during which he failed to establish a climb. 

Findings

Aircraft
Climb rate - Not attained/maintained (Cause)
Descent/approach/glide path - Not attained/maintained (Cause)

Personnel issues
Aircraft control - Pilot (Cause)

Environmental issues
Soft surface - Effect on equipment

Location: Page, AZ
Accident Number: WPR17LA144
Date & Time: 06/23/2017, 1600 MST
Registration: N71001
Aircraft: CESSNA U206F
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Powerplant sys/comp malf/fail
Injuries: 6 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 135: Air Taxi & Commuter - Non-scheduled - Sightseeing 

On June 23, 2017, about 1600 mountain standard time, a Cessna U206F airplane, N71001, sustained substantial damage after the pilot executed a precautionary landing about 28 miles southeast of Page, Arizona. The two commercial pilots and four passengers were not injured. The airplane was registered to, and operated by, American Aviation Inc. as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 scenic flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident and a company visual flight rules flight plan had been filed. The flight originated from Page, Arizona at an unknown time.

The pilot in command (PIC) reported that while they were returning to the airport at 7,500 ft, the airplane would no longer climb; it then slowly started to descend at about 350 ft per minute. Unable to stop the descent, the pilots attempted to troubleshoot the problem, but were not able to restore engine power. The PIC initiated a precautionary landing onto a dirt road. About 125 ft above the ground, the co-pilot took control of the airplane and landed softly onto the road. During the landing roll, the airplane's left wing impacted juniper bushes before it came to rest. As the pilots retarded the throttle to idle, the throttle came out of the control panel along with about two ft of the throttle cable.

During a postaccident examination by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector, it was noted that the throttle control cable separated from the rod end of the throttle body control. Review of the maintenance logs indicated the throttle cable was last installed in 1996.

The throttle cable, to include the rod end, and rod end sleeve were removed from the airplane and sent to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Materials Laboratory for further examination.

The NTSB Materials Laboratory reported that digital microscope images of the rod end, which was within the rod end sleeve, exhibited two circumferential bands of wear on the ends. The bands were heavier on one side of the pieces, and the band closest to the end had less damage compared to the other band. Corresponding wear was observed on the inner surface of the mating guide piece. The wire strands were observed, and the fracture surfaces were flat and perpendicular to the axes of the strands. No necking or thinning of the individual strands consistent with overstress separation was observed.

Cessna Maintenance Manual indicates that the engine controls and linkages should be examined "each 50 hours for general condition and freedom of movement. These controls are not repairable. Replace throttle, propeller, and mixture controls at each engine overhaul." The operator reported the airplane's annual inspection was completed about 43 hours prior to the accident, and the overhaul 163 hours prior to the accident. The logbooks did not show that the cable had been replaced.
