688 FUGHT International, 13 May 1971 formed Schreiner-BEA Helicopters, the two parties having a 60:40 shareholding respectively. The company's role is the support of drilling operations on the Dutch sector of the North Sea continental shelf. NETHERLANDS GOVERNMENT CIVIL FLYING SCHOOL The sight of a Hansa Jet over the countryside of the northern part of the Netherlands is a sign, as like as not, of pilot training in progress. Situated at Eelde is the Government Civil Flying School, run by the Civil Avia tion Authority (Rijksluchtvaartdienst). Students undergo a two-year course of which the theoretical instruction is designed to cover, even to exceed, the syllabus for the ALTP. They leave the school with a CPL and instrument rating, as well as with the wider theoretical knowledge. According to Mr W. Lekay, the school's director, selection procedures adopted in recruiting have reduced the failure rate on the school's courses to about five per cent. Students are selected with a view to their potential for command of modern airline equipment. The school's basic trainer is the Saab Safir 91D. After 163hr on the type pupils progress to jet equipment; they fly 60hr on the Morane Saulnier Paris and 27hr on the Hansa Jet. The school's fleet comprises 21 Safirs, seven Paris and three Hansa Jets. SCHIPHOL AIRPORT AUTHORITY NV Luchthaven Schiphol is the authority operating Amsterdam's airport, which is the country's main inter national airport (not forgetting that Rotterdam Airport has also on a smaller scale developed its international links). The new Schiphol, with its impressive modern terminal, and motorway tunnels under the runways and taxyways, became operational in 1967. The number of commercial movements last year was 105,466, compared with 93,626 in 1969 and 83,351 in 1968. Operations in 1969 resulted in a smallish profit— Dfl.871,000 (£100,000), compared with a deficit of just over Industry guide: some companies not mentioned in the foregoing text Aero Gronddienst NV (Aero Groundser vices I PO Box 7513, Schiphol Airport Central.

Repair and overhaul of airborne electronic Dfl.7 million (£800,000) in 1968. Revenue in 1969 was Dfl.68-3 million (£7-9 million), compared with Dfl.61-6 mil lion (£7 • 1 million) the year before. As with other international airports, much of the revenue is derived from sources other than airline operations— in particular from rents and concession fees (and the shopping facilities at the airport are of international repute). Airport charges and passenger-service charges represented some 56 per cent of revenue in 1969. Like other countries, the Netherlands has been pre occupied, especially on the political front, with the need for, and selection of a site for, another national airport. In this connection the Schiphol Authority has pointed out that the existing airport facilities could meet expected demand at least up to 1990 with the construction of a fifth runway. With a second terminal the airport would have sufficient capacity for a few years more. The authority has also suggested that, at relatively low cost, the former terminal buildings and apron and the runways 05/23 and 14/32 could be made available for V/Stol operations, thus deferring the saturation point still further. ALLEN AIRCRAFT RADIO Amsterdam is very much a communications cross-roads, and with the international attitude of its people the city has obvious attractions for foreign companies wishing to set up European activities. Typical of such firms is Allen Aircraft Radio International, which, with its subsidiary Allen Airmotive International, is based in the former terminal building of Schiphol Airport, at Schiphol East. AAR is wholly owned by AAR Corporation of Chicago, and was established in 1964 for the sale of avionic equip ment and flight instruments. Allen Airmotive International was set up in 1967 at Schiphol; with a technical staff of 45 the company specialises in overhaul and repair of most types of airborne electronic equipment, including radar, DME, transponders and advanced types of flight instrumentation. Customers in clude airlines and the Dutch and West German air forces. In particular a number of smaller operators, for whom it may be impracticable to invest in elaborate test facili ties, use Allen Airmotive's services. The company has a branch in Copenhagen, and a smaller facility for general- aviation customers at Rotterdam. equipment, including ILS and VOR; equipment sales. Manager: W. van Eeuwen.
