TEST FLIGHT TO BINTAN DONE

We are pleased to announce that our final project for Hampshire General Aviation has been completed with respect to their Lake 250 Amphibious Seaplane. We were responsible for importing the same to Singapore in dismantled condition , reassembled the same and delivered it to Hampshire Capital, Hampshire Group, Penang. This blog is about the flight to Bintan, performed for the same group under contract. We are pleased to have created History by being the first ever Seaplane to have landed and first ever seaplane pilot in the regular seaplane category to have landed in Bintan, Indonesia.

 Despite local challenges and the need to go it alone in Singapore for such a niche project, we have managed to do well. Lack of some support from agencies here hampers efforts for further growth but we hope to overcome those soon.

Hampshire requested for our pilot services for conducting these flights to Bintan and satisfy the approval granted for carrying out initial landings in Bintan.

We took off from Seletar with out test pilot Capt. Anup Murthy and Technical officer Chris Chua on 15th March, landed at Batam International Airport for CIQ and proceeded a short distance away to Bintan for sea landing.

We flew 500 feet off the water from Batam under Batam ATC and radio them before approaching landing area. Pilot chose the Bintan Ferry Terminal area, that was the approved designated landing area by the Master of Ports, Bintan, and landed safely there in choppy waters generated by strong weather systems. It was manageable conditions for safe operations.

The amphibian was taxied to the Nirwana Beach Club boat ramp where the pilot put the landing gear down in the water and came ashore and parked on the ramp at the Beach Club.

Local Authorities, Coast guard, Ports, Chief of security, GM and staff of Nirwanan Gardens etc were all at hand at the spot to facilitate and observe.

The return trip to Singapore was also from the same area, Bintan ferry terminal area, know as BBT, for a rough water takeoff (normally much smoother waters) and safely made to to Batam for exit CIQ, proceeding back to Singapore as normal Aircraft and landing at Seletar Airport.

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed the re-assembling of the Lake 250 Seaplane in Singapore at our facilities. The Aircraft also underwent a ground run prior to certification. Test flight to be conducted next week by our test pilot and Managing Director Capt. Anup Murthy.

Seaplane above, same one we have been posting while re-assembling it in Singapore in our earlier posts. This is a new venture and a unique project that no other company in Singapore has undertaken, a feather in the cap of Jeteezy promoters and supporters.

A Big Thank You to our customers and supporters, this seaplane will be the first of many in the Asian region that we will be handling works on. Great to be associated with promoters of Hampshire General Aviation as well.

 

Our team of technicians, Aircraft maintenance engineers, just before we did a ground run of the engine for the first time since the Seaplane arrived in a container. 

 

 

Jeteezy team were the end to end solutions providers for the Lake 250 Seaplane, engaged from dismantling it in the U.S.A., containerizing the same, exporting to Singapore for re-assembling project and now coming to the last stage of delivery.

LAKE 250 ARRIVES IN SINGAPORE

UPDATE: 28 October 2013

Following our last blog post about shipping the Lake 250 Seaplane from United States to Singapore, we are pleased to announce that the same has arrived in Singapore.

Our work is to begin the process of re-assembling the Aircraft, test flying and certification of the Aircraft before delivering to Hampshire Capital Ltd, , for their operations in Indonesia and beyond.

There will be updates from time to time on the work progress and post test flight and delivery process. For Jeteezy Pte Ltd, this is the first major work for reassembling a dismantled Aircraft and there will be many more such projects in the pipeline in future.

We see this as an exciting opportunity to expand the business of being a fully integrated one-stop-shop for Lake 250 Seaplanes and all other types of Amphibious Aircraft for the Asia-Pacific region.

LAKE AIRCRAFT BOUND FOR SINGAPORE

We are pleased  to announce that the Lake 250 demonstrator Aircraft has departed for Singapore, containerized and shipped by sea. 

The Aircraft arrived in Laconia Airport, New Hampshire, for dismantling at Skybright Aviation and packing for containerization in August and has subsequently left the Port of New York, having been exported by Jeteezy on behalf of Duesenberg Motors, Inc USA and consigned for re-assembling the Aircraft in Singapore. 

The Aircraft will remain in Singapore for re-assembling and flight testing at Jeteezy's facility in Seletar and following this, it will be de-registered and re-registered in Indonesia for regular flight operations and to work as demonstrator for future sales of Team Lake line of refurbished Aircraft. 

 

This work of refurbished Aircraft sales, support and services is being handled exclusively by Hampshire General Aviation, Pte Ltd, Singapore. More updates follows when the Aircraft arrives in Singapore around the 27th of October 2013.

SECOND U.S. TRIP

After the trip to the U.S. in June, and doing a pre-buy inspection of the Lake 250 Seaplane mentioned during that trip, Hampshire General Aviation has completed the purchase of the said Aircraft.

We are making a second trip to the U.S. on 21st July to take possession of the Lake 250 Serial Number 125 on behalf of Hampshire Capital of Malaysia and Duesenberg Motors, Inc, USA.

Thanks to all our well wishers for their continued support and good wishes, see you all soon in Singapore with the Seaplane!

Cheers!

Lake 250 N8551D SOLD

 

We are pleased to update that a private party has purchased N8551D that has been posted here previously on our blog page (shown above). The Aircraft will serve as a demonstrator in the South East Asia region and from time to time it will be brought to Singapore.

We hope that the Aircraft/Seaplane makes waves (pun intended) and serves as a catalyst for growth of boat-hulled amphibious Aircraft in the region. Capt. Murthy will be in the U.S. throughout July 2013 for co-orindating the export and ferry of the amphibious Aircraft and is available on e-mail.

We are also pleased to be working on a consulting project involving the sale of a Gulfstream G550 premium long range Jet Aircraft for a private buyer in the region.

Thanks always to our well-wishers for your support! We shall publish details of the Lake 250 Renegade's visit to Singapore in August for viewing.

ATR42/72 March 2013 updates

We continue to work with Amphibious Aircraft through Jeteezy although much of the operational aspects of that business has been hived off to our associate company "Hampshire General Aviation Pte Ltd" recently incorporated in the Republic of Singapore.

Jeteezy is also acting as consultants to new Seaplane projects in Vietnam and Philippines, with the Philippines entity working with us for introducing landplane services including Fokker 50s on lease. Our current projects include placing an extensively refurbished ATR72-500 with far east clients.

The ATR72's are primarily undergoing heavy checks with complete refurbishment on the interior as well as new exterior paint (white-customer livery as per spec). First Aircraft project starts early April and is being delivered to client by June 2013 on sale. 2 more ATR72s will be coming into our associate facilities for heavy checks and refurbishment from June 2013 onwards and available by August 2013 for lease or sale. We are also actively sourcing ATR42-320/500s for our existing client, on an urgent basis. This is a month end update for the month of March 2013.

Thank you for reading!
