7915 S. Emerson Avenue, Suite 192, Indianapolis, IN 46237-9708 877-450-8774 ________________________________________________________________________ Expert Aviation Consulting LLC Page 1 of 1 Steven C. Ellis Experience: 1988 to Present: United Airlines Pilot. O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, Illinois. Captain, Airbus 320/319. Captain, B737. First Officer, B737,B757,B767 Flight Engineer, McDonnell Douglas DC10. Member of the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA). From 1994 thru 2004, served on the ALPA National ground and in-flight icing projects. Duties included representing ALPA in various U.S. and international in-flight icing efforts. Highlights include being directly involved with the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in regulation rewriting, and AIM (Airman's Information Manual) rewriting as a result of the American Eagle crash of flight 4184 on October 31, 1984, and the crash of Comair flight 3272 on January 9, 1997. Other highlights concern representing ALPA at the international meetings of SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) from 1994 thru 2004. These are ground icing issues. At the SAE G-12 meeting in Frankfurt, Germany (May, 2002), I made a presentation concerning the temperature drop that can occur on the lifting surfaces of an aircraft during takeoff. (see temperature drop 2 PowerPoint attachment). As a result of this presentation, the G-12 group assigned one of its standing committees to investigate the temperature drop. I represented ALPA on this committee, which included officials from the FAA, and Transport Canada, and engineers from every major aircraft manufacturer in the free world. (Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Cessna, etc.). The work of this committee confirmed the temperature drop, and a presentation was made to an AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) conference in 2005. I am credited in this paper for bringing the topic to the attention of the experts who could properly investigate it. (see AIAA- 2005-0654 attachment). Additional highlights include working with various entities within United Airlines to improve inflight and ground icing knowledge and procedures. In this capacity, I have written significant portions of the icing sections of the Flight Operations Manual (FOM), which governs flight operations at United. This work also resulted in significant changes to the icing sections of the Airbus Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) at United, which is the manual by which flight crews operate the Airbus in icing conditions for united. I've also written several articles concerning icing for United's internal safety publication, the SAFETY LINER. 1977-1988: Corporate pilot. Duties included flying turboprop aircraft (Piper Cheyenne) throughout the United States and Canada for a manufacturing firm in Wisconsin. This was a single pilot, all weather operation, which contributed significantly to my practical in-flight and ground icing experience and knowledge. It was in this capacity that I first witnessed slush freezing on the lifting surfaces of aircraft during takeoff. 1974-1977: Flight instructor and Air Freight pilot 1973-1974: Helicopter Pilot, Lambair Ltd., Thompson, Manitoba, Canada 1969-1973: Helicopter Pilot, United States Army and Wisconsin National Guard. |
