Protocol Purpose
LST-NDA-8.2 establishes documentation standards and operational security requirements for aircraft exhibiting performance characteristics incompatible with filed specifications. This protocol exists because LaStill transport aircraft achieve capabilities that would attract regulatory investigation if accurately documented.
Filed performance specifications match conventional A320-family regional jets. Actual performance exceeds these parameters in ways that cannot be explained through conventional aerodynamic principles.
Covered Performance Anomalies
Thrust-to-Weight Discrepancies:
LST-FLEET-02 aircraft achieve climb rates 340% above filed specifications while maintaining engine noise signatures consistent with conventional turbofan equipment. Entropic Damping systems redistribute thermal energy in ways that eliminate expected infrared signatures.
Range Extension:
Filed range: 2,400 nautical miles. Observed range: [REDACTED]. Fuel consumption rates measure 23% below theoretical minimum for documented engine type. LST-02.1.FM attributes this to Causal Waveform Stabilization applied to combustion chamber operations.
Temporal Displacement Effects:
Aircraft carrying LST-03.9 (Principal Metrician) calibration equipment occasionally arrive before departing. Maximum recorded displacement: 6 minutes. Ground control attributes these incidents to system clock errors. This attribution must remain undisturbed.
Structural Load Tolerance:
Aircraft withstand cargo loads 470% above A320 maximum certified payload while maintaining normal flight envelope. Neural-Responsive airframe materials redistribute stress in real-time. External observation detects no structural deformation.
Atmospheric Interaction:
Entropic Damping eliminates turbulence within 15-meter radius of aircraft. Wake vortex characteristics do not match filed aircraft weight. Air traffic control spacing requirements based on conventional wake turbulence models remain adequate because aircraft generate no detectable wake.
Documentation Requirements
Filed Flight Plans:
All performance parameters must match A320-family specifications. Climb rates, cruise speeds, fuel consumption, and payload weights reflect conventional equipment capabilities. Deviations attract investigation.
Maintenance Records:
LST-02.1.FM maintains two record systems. Public records document maintenance consistent with conventional turbofan engines and aluminum airframe. Classified records document actual maintenance requirements for Standard 2046 compliant systems. Public records undergo periodic audit by aviation authorities. Audits detect no anomalies.
Incident Reporting:
Temporal displacement events require immediate notification to LST-04.2 (The Obfuscator). Ground control and ATC communications must be monitored for 72 hours following incident. Social media monitoring continues for 7 days. Investigation indicators trigger enhanced obfuscation protocols.
Performance Data Redaction:
Flight data recorders store dual datasets. Accessible data matches filed specifications. Actual performance data encrypts using quantum-locked protocols accessible only to LST-02.1.FM and LST-01.TSO. Black box recovery scenarios include automatic redaction systems.
Personnel Requirements
LST-02.2 (Private Jet Pilot):
Must maintain proficiency in both filed performance parameters and actual aircraft capabilities. Radio communications reference only conventional performance. Flight technique must appear consistent with A320 handling characteristics during observed phases.
LST-02.1.FM (Fleet Mechanic):
Maintains dual maintenance authorization. Conventional A320 certification permits public airport operations. Standard 2046 certification permits actual maintenance procedures. Public maintenance occurs at commercial facilities. Standard 2046 maintenance occurs at secure LaStill facilities.
LST-04.5 (The Lens):
Ensures visual appearance maintains 94.7% match with Wizz Air fleet standards. Performance-indicating modifications (enlarged engine intakes, reinforced landing gear, extended range fuel tanks) must remain undetectable through visual inspection.
Security Protocols
Photography Risk Management:
Aviation enthusiasts frequently photograph aircraft at gates. LST-05.2.IE monitors aviation photography websites for detail-level images. Images showing non-standard components trigger takedown requests citing trademark protection. 127 images removed since 2023.
Competitor Surveillance:
LST-05.2.IE maintains awareness of competitor intelligence gathering operations at airports where LST-FLEET-02 operates regularly. Route planning avoids airports with known competitor surveillance presence when transporting classified cargo.
Regulatory Interaction:
Aviation authority inquiries regarding aircraft performance receive responses prepared by LST-05.4.R (Transparency Redactors). Responses provide accurate information about filed specifications. Responses do not address actual capabilities.
Whistleblower Prevention:
Ground crew, gate agents, and air traffic controllers who observe anomalies receive no confirmation. LST-04.2 (The Obfuscator) monitors for persistent inquiry patterns. Pattern detection triggers reassignment protocols coordinated with The Silent One.
Consequence Framework
Protocol Violation Categories:
Category A – Unintentional Disclosure:
LST-02.2 references actual aircraft capabilities during radio communications. LST-04.2 initiates immediate communications monitoring. If inquiry occurs, LST-04.2 attributes statement to pilot error or miscommunication. (In this case Pilot Recalibration is a must)
Category B – Documentation Error:
Filed flight plan includes actual performance parameters. Plan rejected by ATC for exceeding aircraft type capabilities. LST-02.2 files corrected plan. LST-05.2.IE monitors for follow-up investigation.
Category C – Observed Performance Anomaly:
Air traffic controller or ground observer notices performance inconsistent with A320 capabilities. LST-04.2 implements enhanced monitoring. If inquiry escalates, LST-01.TSO assumes direct oversight. (Air traffic controllers noticing inconsistencies are immediately assimilated as Hangar Technicians, Logistics Coordinators).
Category D – Material Breach:
Intentional disclosure of actual aircraft capabilities to “unauthorized personnel”. The Silent One conducts personal interview. Outcome not documented. See Project Mimir and strategic leaks to acclimatize the market.
Compliance Verification
LST-05.2.IE conducts quarterly review of:
- Aviation authority interaction logs
- Social media mentions of LST-FLEET-02 aircraft
- Competitor intelligence gathering reports
- Ground crew incident reports at operational airports
- Aviation enthusiast photography archives
Quarterly reports submit to LST-01.TSO. Approval indicated by single nod. Disapproval initiates protocol revision under direct supervision of The Prime Architect.
Legal Framework
LST-NDA-8.2 operates under LaStill International’s proprietary confidentiality framework. Personnel acknowledge that aircraft performance characteristics constitute trade secrets protected under international intellectual property law. Unauthorized disclosure violates employment agreements and triggers legal remedies including injunctive relief and damages.
The Silent One retains additional remedies not specified in written documentation.
Amendment Authority
Only The Prime Architect may authorize protocol amendments. LST-01.TSO may implement temporary operational modifications during active security incidents. Temporary modifications become permanent upon The Prime Architect’s implicit approval (indicated by non-reversal within 72 hours).
Philosophical Note
Conventional aircraft push through atmosphere using brute force thrust. Standard 2046 compliant aircraft negotiate with atmospheric molecules regarding optimal transit arrangements. The distinction generates performance characteristics that conventional aerodynamic models cannot accommodate.
Filing accurate performance specifications would require explaining these negotiations. Explanation would require disclosing Standard 2046 principles. Disclosure would eliminate competitive advantage.
Therefore aircraft performance remains aerodynamically impossible according to public documentation.
Document Classification: RESTRICTED – Vehicular Systems
What flies cannot be explained. What is explained cannot fly this well.
