We want to provide the public with safe PDR repairs and with Mitchellโ€™s MD-500, we’re confident that our Certified PDR Technicians will continue to provide the national standard for the industry.โ€โ€” Anita Dill, PDR Testing and Certification President

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, USA, December 14, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma, Dec. 14, 2021 โ€“ PDR Testing and Certification (PDR TESTING) of Oklahoma is excited to announce it has selected Mitchell International, Inc. as the exclusive provider of vehicle diagnostic and calibration technologies for the Vale PDR Technician Certification Program.

PDR Testing recognizes that its Certified PDR Technicians need the advantages that come with rapid access to the industryโ€™s finest tools to accurately assess damage, complete appraisals, and perform the highest standard of repair work.

In identifying a technology provider that can best deliver this access for their Certified PDR Technicians, Anita Dill, PDR Testing and Certification President, evaluated multiple criteria. They included: safety for the consumer, scanning speed, vehicle coverage, initial purchase price for the technician, monthly service fees and the type of equipment used.

After extensive research and testing of a number of manufacturers, Dill concluded that Mitchell โ€” an Enlyte company and leading technology and information provider for the Property & Casualty (P&C) claims and Collision Repair industries โ€” was the best choice for Certified PDR technicians.

She said one major benefit of the collaboration is that Certified PDR Technicians will now be able to fully use Mitchellโ€™s MD-500 all-in-one system for vehicle pre- and post-diagnostic scanning, static and dynamic calibrating and estimating.

โ€œMitchellโ€™s collision repair expertise and industry-leading technology solutions will support our technicians in the delivery of safe and professional PDR services for consumers,โ€ Dill said.

She said PDR Testing also endorsed two other Mitchell solutions for use by Certified PDR Technicians: Mitchell Cloud Estimating with Integrated Repair Procedures, and Mitchell TechAdvisor, featuring OEM repair and reference information spanning nearly 30 years.

โ€œAs vehicle complexity increases, with many vehicles now having hundreds of ADAS sensors, pre-and post-diagnostics has become critical to proper, safe auto repair,โ€ Dill said.

She said recognizing its importance, and with nearly 30,000 PDR technicians nationwide, PDR Testing recently made ADAS pre- and post-diagnostics and calibration core additions to its PDR Technician Certification Program. Mitchellโ€™s MD-500, which leverages Boschโ€™s best-in-class vehicle coverage and hardware, becomes key to the future of every Professional PDR Technician Certification.

Jack Rozint, senior vice president of repair sales at Mitchell, said his company looks forward to supporting PDR Testing and Certification and the next generation of Certified PDR Technicians.

โ€œOur solutions are already helping collision repairers and glass installers safely and efficiently return vehicles to the road,โ€ he said. โ€œThrough our collaboration with PDR Testing and Certification, we can extend our reach and support for proper and safe PDR repairs.โ€

Dill said her company also looks forward to improving the rigors of its program and the certification of tomorrowโ€™s technicians.

โ€œWe also want to provide the public with safe PDR repairs and with Mitchellโ€™s MD-500, we are confident that our Certified PDR Technicians will continue to provide the national standard for the PDR industry,โ€ she said.

In support of the PDR certification program, Mitchell will join PDR Testing as well as Vale Training at the upcoming Mobile Tech Expo in Orlando, Florida on Jan. 27-29, 2022.

Vintage 727 Airliner Deployed to Test New Aircraft Towing System

by Curt Epstein โ€“ April 23, 2020, 5:42 PM

ATS World-Wide CEO Vince Howie poses with his companyโ€™s new acquisition, a formerly-derelict Boeing 727 that it will use to test and demonstrate its permanently installed, automated aircraft towing system. (Photo: ATS)

When Vince Howie first noticed the Kitty Hawk Air Cargo Boeing 727 parked forlornly at Oklahomaโ€™s Ardmore Industrial Airpark several years ago, he thought about leasing it someday to test his companyโ€™s permanently installed automatic aircraft towing system. Howieโ€™s Aircraft Towing Systems World-Wide (ATS) has been developing the technology in cooperation with Oklahoma State Universityโ€™s New Product Development Center.

As the prototype of the electrically-powered system nears completion, he inquired about the classic tri-jetโ€™s status. โ€œWhen I discovered it was abandoned, I asked if I might buy it,โ€ said Howie. โ€œThe City of Ardmore then filed for an abandoned title and put it up for auction.โ€ With no other bidders, ATS was able to acquire it for just over the minimum bid.

The aircraft had not moved since 2007, and its former owner declared bankruptcy the following year. When ATS CEO Howie and several other ATS employees and family members went to examine the new acquisition, they found the only entrance that was accessible was the aft ventral airstairs (the same access point the notorious D.B. Cooper used to escape his 1971 mid-air 727 hijacking attempt).

Once inside, it became clear that the aircraft had simply been closed up when its owners walked away. Its flight log ended with entries for its last flight in August 2007, and all interior equipment was still present, down to the fire extinguishers. Its last airworthiness certificate was found in the cockpit, along with some 2007-vintage aviation publications. The Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines had been removed at some point, but their cowlings and thrust reversers were found in the cargo compartment.727 flight engineers stationThe 727โ€™s flight engineer station was well preserved, showing its 1960s vintage technology.

Another discovery proved a major bonus for the new owners. โ€œIt was amazing to find the auxiliary power still installed,โ€ said Howie, adding that King Aerospace will handle the cleaning and partial refurbishment of the jet. โ€œIf they can get the APU working, it will allow ATS to power the brakes and steering, which will make testing much safer and easier.โ€ King Aerospace will also install the engine cowlings, and mount new tires on the aircraft as part of its rehabilitation.

โ€œWe believe our strategic investment in this jet will be the perfect instrument to demonstrate how ATS works in the days ahead,โ€ noted Howie. ATS, which would represent a major capital expenditure for an airport, is integrated into the ground control system, and run by the ground control tower personnel. It uses tow tractors that ride along underground, permanently-installed rail channels, leading from the runway to the terminals. Intended to be able to move aircraft with their engines off, anticipated benefits include improved safety, fuel savings, decreased emissions, increased engine lifespan, reduced ground staff requirements, and noise reduction.

Howie told AIN that testing with the 727 should begin in about four months when the prototype installation is completed at the Ardmore Airpark. He expects trials to be completed by the end of the year, pending regulatory approval. โ€œWe have several very interested airports and we continue to work with the FAA,โ€ he concluded.

Aircraft Towing Systems Partners with Oklahoma State University on New Transportation System

Aircraft Towing Systems World Wide LLC and Oklahoma State Universityโ€™s New Product Development Center (NPDC) are developing a prototype designed to move aircraft to and from airport taxiways and gates without the use of a jetโ€™s main engines.

Led by OSUโ€™s NPDC Director Robert Taylor, Ph.D., the center began working on the project in November 2016 and itโ€™s currently developing a testing system for the prototype. The OSU team also recently nominated ATS for the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Educationโ€™s โ€œBusiness Partnership Excellence Award,โ€ which was presented at the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, Oklahoma in March.

โ€œThe unique ATS concept originated with Polish businessman and entrepreneur Stan Malicki, along with the help of his hand-picked international engineers,โ€ Taylor said.

Taylor noted that Malicki, president of ATS, likes Oklahomaโ€™s pro-business environment and friendly workforce. Company Vice President/CEO Vince Howie is a partial owner of ATS and meets weekly with the NPDC ATS team as they fulfill the research, development and design on the contract.

โ€œWhen we started working on the project in 2016, we basically had a package and pretty much a blank slate before we created a team out of converged departments, professors and mechanical, aerospace, civil, electrical and computer engineering undergraduate and graduate students, including five Ph.Ds.,โ€ Taylor said. โ€œOur research and development of ATS provides students with real-world experience, and that is what our center is wrapped around โ€“ the commercialization of new product development and contributing to economic development in Oklahoma.โ€

ATS broke ground at the Ardmore Industrial Airpark in November 2019, and installation of the underground channel for ATSโ€™s electric-powered railway system should be complete under select portions of the airportโ€™s ramp areas by this summer.

โ€œI suspect there are small bits and pieces weโ€™ll need to adjust, which is common when you introduce a prototype and test the system, but weโ€™re excited,โ€ Taylor said. โ€œSome of the benefits of ATS will be a reduction of fuel emissions, and it should improve efficiency, as well as an increase in safety because ATS will be run by ground control, so there should few if any aircraft accidents on the ground. With a fully installed ATS system, a pilot can land on a runway and move onto the taxiway, where he or she can align the aircraftโ€™s nose wheel into an ATS pull car.

โ€œOnce the nose wheel is secured, a pilot can turn off the main engine and ATS safely moves the aircraft using its channel system to the appropriate gate,โ€ he added. โ€œThe reverse process is used when pilots are ready to takeoff. Pilots will then turn on their engines and drive off the pull car, move into position and take off.โ€

Howie, former director of aerospace and defense for the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, said Taylor and the OSU NPDC team are doing work that may revolutionize the way airports run in the future.

โ€œATS is fully automated, powered by an electric motor that moves aircraft autonomously using a rail system located in a channel just below the surface of select portions of the airport taxiways and gate areas,โ€ Howie said. โ€œATS will negate the need for tug-and-cart equipment and associated personnel. We do foresee increased operational efficiencies, including the potential to increase the speed of airport gate turnover, as well as environmental and safety benefits.โ€

Howie said ATS has the potential to provide solutions to the challenges of wasted aircraft fuel because fuel will be saved when the main engine is shut off.

โ€œWe believe ATS will reduce harmful fuel emissions, decrease noise around airports and potentially extend jet engine life, all while reducing aircraft collisions,โ€ Howie said. โ€œThis will create an overall safer and more efficient takeoff and landing system.โ€

He said ATS has been happy with the type of work the OSU NPDC team has performed.

โ€œThe kind of work they do has really been outstanding, so weโ€™re really thrilled,โ€ Howie said. โ€œIt has been a marvelous relationship. People are excited to see the prototype operational.โ€

Howie said various contractors in Oklahoma, Texas and at additional locations are working on different aspects of the production. In Oklahoma City, Citadel Construction Company continues its work on installing the channel at Ardmore Industrial Airpark. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, Data3 Corporation is preparing the software that will allow airport control towers to operate ATS.

Production Machine and Tool (PMT) is a veteran-owned small business offering extensive machining and manufacturing expertise out of its production facility in Wichita Falls, Texas. The PMT team continues to work from OSUโ€™s NPDC teamโ€™s technical drawings as they create the various metal components of the ATS system.

โ€œThe ATS team recently made changes to the tow cart and tow dolly, ordered materials for the center rotating plate and continue work on the systemโ€™s synthetic wheels,โ€ Howie said. โ€œWe believe by early March, painting of the disassembled pull cart for the electric-powered railway system should be complete. Aberdeen Dynamics of Tulsa, an expert hydraulics system company, will travel to PMT in early March to help assemble the ATS pull-cart, while Poclain Hydraulics, the company that built the hydraulic systemโ€™s pumps and motors, will also have a representative present to assist as needed.

ATS, which would represent a major capital expenditure for an airport, is integrated into the ground control system, and run by the ground control tower personnel. It uses tow tractors that ride along underground, permanently-installed rail channels, leading from the runway to the terminals. Intended to be able to move aircraft with their engines off, anticipated benefits include improved safety, fuel savings, decreased emissions, increased engine lifespan, reduced ground staff requirements, and noise reduction.

Howie told AIN that testing with the 727 should begin in about four months when the prototype installation is completed at the Ardmore Airpark. He expects trials to be completed by the end of the year, pending regulatory approval. โ€œWe have several very interested airports and we continue to work with the FAA,โ€ he concluded.

Peaceful Animal Adoption Shelterโ€™s โ€˜Ride

to Rescueโ€™ celebrates 5,000 dog delivery

VINITA โ€” For more than three years, Kay

Stout, of Edmond, executive director of the

Peaceful Animal Adoption Shelter in Vinita,

has joined forces with area nonprofit rescues

and animal shelters from more than a

dozen rural state municipalities to give a

second chance to unwanted or abandoned

dogs through its weekly โ€œRide to Rescueโ€

program.

The outreach program uses PAAS Vinitaโ€™s

animal shelter as a regional hub to house 25

to 30 dogs a week. Each dog has been preselected

by participating area shelters and

rescues based on specific criteria, including

the state of the dogโ€™s health, friendliness

and potential adopt-ability. The dogs are

then transported from PAAS Vinita in a dogfriendly

bus to the Dumb Friends League in

Colorado, where they are usually quickly

adopted.

Early in November, a friendly young Great

Dane mix named Homer was delivered to

the Dumb Friends Leagueโ€™s Buddy Center

in Castle Rock, Colorado. Homer became

the 5,000th dog โ€œRide to Rescueโ€ has delivered.

In celebration, the Dumb Friends

League presented Homer with a cake and

his success story was featured on TV by a

Denver CBS affiliate. Homer was also

adopted the next day.

โ€œYou suddenly realize the 5,000th dog

delivery is so symbolic in so many ways

because most of those dogs potentially

have new homes in Colorado,โ€ she said.

โ€œWe have a business mindset at our shelter,

but our biggest challenge is knowing that

we canโ€™t always save the dog in front of us,

but we do save the 10 that are waiting to go

on the bus.โ€

Approximately 95% of the dogs that are

delivered weekly have been adopted before

the next weekโ€™s transport arrives. While

Oklahoma has a surplus of dogs and cats,

Colorado has a booming population of

people who often want to adopt a dog in

need of a home.

In addition to PAAS Vinita, the other

Oklahoma shelters and rescues come from

the towns of Bixby, Chickasha, Collinsville,

Coweta, Duncan, Enid, Mannford, Miami,

Muskogee, Langley, Noble, Poteau, Sapulpa,

Sand Springs, and Tulsa. Stout said with the

help of generous philanthropists, including

the Cresap Family Foundation and the

Arnall Family Foundation, the โ€œRide to

Rescueโ€ program has been a success.

โ€œWithout philanthropists who are willing

to trust us, we could not have accomplished

what weโ€™ve accomplished,โ€ she said. โ€œWith

the massive dog overpopulation in rural

Oklahoma, I believe our best line of attack

is our out-of-state transfers. We have too

many unwanted dogs here, so we take the

overflow to Colorado.โ€

Dumb Friends League Public Relations

Manager Maia Brusseau said its partnership

with PAAS Vinita is very valuable

because the โ€œRide to Rescueโ€ program

delivers highly adoptable dogs.

โ€œWe collaborate with them and their

partner shelters concerning an individual

dogโ€™s health care, vaccinations and veterinary

records,โ€ Brusseau said. โ€œBefore the

โ€˜Ride to Rescueโ€™ program we had more

adopters than dogs here in Colorado and

we didnโ€™t have enough dog choices. When

PAAS Vinita delivers the dogs, they are

greeted warmly by our staff and volunteers,

and we feel so grateful to have them.

โ€œWe thank the people of Oklahoma for

bringing us these dogs,” she said.

She said the leagueโ€™s name can be confusing

to the uninformed. The term

โ€œdumbโ€ was a common term used in 1910

when the Dumb Friends League was established.

It means lacking the power of

speech.

โ€œIt means we are speaking for those who

cannot,โ€ Brusseau said. โ€œIt is really quite

sweet.โ€

Clemens Aviation expands into Oklahoma

Clemens Aviation, a family-owned aircraft charter, management and sales operation based near Wichita, Kansas, has teamed up with longtime Oklahoma aviation professional Gary Purdum to lead its expansion into Oklahomaโ€™s business jet sales market.

Clemens Aviation recently named Purdum as its local marketing director and plans to open an office at Wiley Post Airport in Oklahoma City, officials said.

The company offers the opportunity for customers to buy full or shared interest in business jets. Clemens Aviation manages every aspect of the ownership from pilots to maintenance.

โ€œAll the customer has to do is to make a phone call with a few details about their trip and everything else is taken care of,โ€ Purdum said. โ€œItโ€™s that simple. The Clemens familyโ€™s mission is to provide the safest, most affordable ownership experience available.โ€

Kansas-based Clemens Aviation is moving into the Oklahoma business jet market with a time share-esque model.

The charter, management and sales operation will be run locally from an office at Wiley Post Airport, where customers can buy full or shared interest in a business jet with Clemens managing every aspect of ownership, from pilots to maintenance.

Clemens offers the sale of 25% interest in an aircraft for 80 days of use a year. Oklahoma customers set up the flight with an advance phone call and fly out of Wiley Post. The company has 25 business jets, 12 mechanics and 30 full-time pilots that will remain based in Wichita for now.

โ€œTheyโ€™ve been very successful in the Wichita area and have made utilization and ownership of a jet aircraft very affordable,โ€ Clemens Marketing Director Gary Purdum said. โ€œIt enables a company or an individual to have the benefits and advantages of jet ownership for a very small percentage of the actual cost if they owned it alone.โ€

Family-owned, the company was started by Dwayne Clemens, whose father was a crop-duster. Dwayne Clemensโ€™ career has spanned work at Beechcraft, now part of Textron Aviation, where he worked as a production test pilot, before purchasing Stearman Field Airport, a 90-acre public-use airport in Benton, Kansas.

Now, Dwayne Clemens runs the company with his wife, Julie Clemens, and their kids Alex and Lizzie Clemens.

Lizzie Clemens said expansion to the Oklahoma market was natural, in part, due to the familyโ€™s relationship with Purdum, who worked at Beechcraft with Dwayne Clemens.

Ponca City resident and business owner Chuck Greenwood, who recently purchased full share of a plane through Clemens, said the flexibility and convenience of the service have been helpful. 

Ponca City resident and business owner Chuck Greenwood, recently purchased full share of a plane through Clemens Aviation.

Also in the aerospace business, he said he appreciates the companyโ€™s background and not having to worry about handling maintenance and other aspects of owning a business jet. 

โ€œI think their model is the trend where private aviation is going because by buying a share of an airplane, you get to use it whenever you want. Your airplane is being exercised because planes, like cars, seem to break when theyโ€™re not used for extended periods of time,โ€ Greenwood said.

Lizzie Clemens said she and her siblings grew up around aircraft and flying. Now, the family aspect adds a dimension to the companyโ€™s service.

โ€œI feel that โ€ฆ the small or family-owned business feel is a lot different, itโ€™s definitely a more personalized experience. Especially since we work with a lot of family-owned businesses as well. I think people find it comforting,โ€ Lizzie Clemens said.
