Transforming Buttonville Airport: A New Hub for Steel Industrial Warehouse Buildings

-
 Buttonville Airport, one of Canada's busiest GA and business airports, is on the brink of a major transformation. This privately owned facility, situated just north of Toronto, has served as a significant reliever airport for nearby Pearson International. However, it was sold to a developer a decade ago, and its fate has been sealed ever since. With the lease on the 169-acre property set to expire on Nov. 30, the assumption of a mixed-use community or shopping center, typical of the developer Cadillac Fairview, has been shattered. BlogTO's recent revelations suggest a different direction altogether. It seems that Buttonville Airport's site will be predominantly occupied by single-level steel industrial warehouse buildings, catering to the insatiable demand for such space in Canada's largest city.

Aviation Repairs: The Role of Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs)

-
 In Greensboro, North Carolina, I found myself at the Wall Street Deli, ready to indulge in a delicious Souvlaki platter when my phone interrupted the moment. Being in the aviation business, I understood the importance of answering it promptly. It was Josh Brien, my customer and the procurement manager at Genesis Aviation. He seemed distressed. “Rick,” he said, “We have a problem.” Early the next day, I was at his office door, where Brien presented me with several pieces of metal—an anti-skid brake part for a Boeing MD-11. Holding one of the parts confidently, I told him, "This looks like a mission for a DER [designated engineering representative]." “Is it legal?” Brien asked. Not only is it legal, but the repair is also FAA-approved and ships with a Form 8130-3 tag. Brien glanced up, smiled, and said, “Let’s write it up!” What Is a DER? The FAA is a massive governmental institution with around 48,000 employees, but even they need assistance in managing all the aviation respo
