🛩De Kustwacht krijgt de komende maanden twee nieuwe vliegtuigen van het type Dash-8. Het eerste toestel is nu in de Kustwacht kleuren gespoten.🤩
Deze toestellen worden voor 10 jaar gehuurd van ISR Support Europe. Momenteel worden deze toestellen voorbereid en aangepast in Canada. De volgende stap is het aanbrengen van de logo’s en het verder inbouwen van apparatuur.
In de loop van augustus komt het eerste toestel naar Nederland. Daarna volgt een aantal opleidings- en testvluchten. De bemanningen treffen dan voorbereidingen voor de komende operationele inzet. Het tweede toestel volgt in september.
De Defensie Materieel Organisatie - DMO begeleidt de verwerving van de twee vliegtuigen.

Two questions for those who know more:
-will both aircraft be based at Schiphol-Oost?
-in that case: do they fit in the current Coastguard-hangar?

For the rest, I would suggest this first bird keeps its Canadian registration; it seems very fitting (to me, that is... :wink: )

PH-CGD c/n:028, ex: C-GCFK, nu 36,5 jaar oud.

PH-CGE c/n:038, ex: C-FCGE, nu 35,9 jaar oud.

Mooi gespoten en strak in de lak. Lijkt bijna nieuw.

Het is een contract voor 10 jaar. Beide airframes zijn nu al meer dan 35 jaar oud. Na afloop van de lease periode dus 45 jaar.

Ben benieuwd hoeveel airframe hours ze nu al gevlogen hebben, en hoeveel cycles ze al hebben gemaakt.

Is het wel slim om zoveel tijd en geld te investeren in deze twee oudjes ?

...well, lessor Provincial Aerospace will have to guarantee an availability of 1800 flying hours a year in total.

https://magazines.defensie.nl/materieel ... _kustwacht
De Defensie Materieel Organisatie (DMO) heeft namens de 6 betrokken ministeries hiervoor een prestatiecontract ondertekend met het consortium ISR Support Europe.

ISR zorgt niet alleen voor de levering van de Dash-8 vliegtuigen,
maar ook zeker 10 jaar lang voor de piloten en het onderhoud van de Dash.

Jaarlijks vliegt de kustwacht zo’n 1.800 uur.
Na een waarschuwing, zo staat ook in het contract, moet altijd binnen 1 uur 1 vliegtuig en een complete bemanning beschikbaar zijn.

De tactische bemanningen komen, net als nu, van de Koninklijke Marechaussee, de Douane en Rijkswaterstaat.

1 vliegtuig is overigens aangewezen om gereed te staan voor operaties aan de grenzen van de Europese Unie, liet directeur DMO vice-admiraal Arie Jan de Waard weten.

https://www.upinthesky.nl/2022/07/29/ku ... r-dash-8s/
In tegenstelling tot de Dornier 228’s worden de Dash-8’s voor een periode van tien jaar geleased.
Belangrijk verschil is dat het werk vrijwel volledig uit handen wordt gegeven.
De piloten en het onderhoud worden door PAL en Jetsupport geleverd.
De Kustwacht zorgt vervolgens voor de waarnemers.

First new coastguard plane arrived at Schiphol
10-09-2022 19:04

The first, new coastguard aircraft landed at Schiphol today.

The new aircraft has modern equipment on board to perform our tasks even better.

he coming period will be devoted to conducting test flights.

The crews also train with the new aircraft type and the systems on board.


Operationally deployable

During test flights, various scenarios are performed to check the aircraft and ensure that it meets all requirements.

Once everything is completed, the aircraft will replace the current Dornier-228 aircraft and the Dash-8 will be operational.

The second Dash-8 is expected to arrive in October. :!:
Until then, we will be using a :!: Beechkraft King Air aircraft as a backup.


Once the new Dash-8 aircraft becomes operational (right), it will replace the current Dornier-228 (left).

Mission System
The Dash-8 aircraft have been specially adapted to the requirements of the Coast Guard.
The aerial officers, also known as air observers, will have two workplaces on board with a special mission system.

With this they operate the sensors and communication equipment to perform their tasks.

The aerial officers come from
Rijkswaterstaat, Customs, the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee and the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA). There are always 2 on board.


The aerial officers, also known as air observers, will have two workplaces on board with a special mission system.

Modern equipment

Compared to its predecessor, the Dash-8 can fly longer.

The device also has a surface radar, which gives us a quick overview of, for example, shipping traffic day and night.

The aircraft has a hatch on the underside of the fuselage (the so-called 'drop hatch')
that allows the crew to drop a life raft, smoke markers and date buoys.

The smoke markers can be used in search and rescue to make a location at sea visible to others.

A date buoy floats in the sea and reports position, water and air temperature.


On arrival, the aircraft was welcomed with a water salute by the fire brigade.
Schiphol-East home base

As of today, the new maritime patrol aircraft will regularly fly along the Dutch coast and by sea.

Just like their predecessors, the aircraft have Schiphol-East as their home base.

The aircraft are leased from and maintained by ISR Support Europe.
They are also responsible for supplying the pilots.

Procurement by DMO

The Defense Materiel Organization (DMO) supervises the procurement of services by means of a concluded performance-oriented contract.

DMO is responsible for ensuring the correct execution of the contract, including the condition of the aircraft.

Ultimately, DMO determines whether both aircraft are operationally ready to start performing tasks for the Coast Guard.

Delay

This first, new device arrived about six months later than expected.

This is partly due to the corona crisis.

Among other things, there was a shortage of personnel at suppliers and suppliers and a lack of material.

The aircraft are registered PH-CGD and PH-CGE.
