Question

I am a master's student in aerospace engineering (on expired

leave) at the California State University, Long Beach (99-00).

To those who are aviation-oriented or engaged in aeronautics,

can you help us here in the Philippines establish genuine aeronautical education?

I am proposing to my government the establishment of the DAEDALVS, The Davao Aeronautical Technological School, an aeronautics specialty state college to be situated at the old Davao (Philippines) Airport. But I got scant interest from my government who have continually neglected to address the upliftment of the quality of aeronautical education in my country.

My message is for those out there who are concerned. Although we have aviation (activities of finished aircraft) here

in the Philippines, the state-of-the-art of Philippine Aeronautics is still in the Interregnum in Aeronautical Development or the period between the first balloon flight of the French Montgolfier brothers (1783) and the Wright Brothers (1903).

Answer 1

I have heard that the airport that you are submitting proposals for is slated for complete shutdown.  What you need to do is focus on some place that the philippine govt has expressed an interest in developing.  The economic development zone in Angeles City (Former site of Clark AB) is of great interest to the philippine govt.   Additionally there are a number of hangars and facilities that would be perfect for such a program with minimal rehabilitation.  You also have a local base of talent as a large number of former Air Force personnel are retired in this area.  Many of them hold advanced aeronautic degrees or have specialized training and experience in aircraft maintanance.  You should take a look at this area and see if your government would be more receptive to developing your ideas in this area.  I have also heard rumors that they may make the main airport at manilla a local hub and restrict international flights through the old clark AB Facility.  While this hasnt been decided for certain, it is something you should consider.
