In terms of wanting to know how a 90 min rule would apply to a Boeing 727 losing an engine at cruise altitude over the ocean, can anyone please advise me what the 727's best engine out speed is at say 28,000 ft ? Obviously this would be a drift down situation until the two remaining engines can hold...

Emirates uses air freight to subsidise overheads aswell. It's business and first class also offset the very low fares it can offer on large aircraft to those at the back rows (cattle class)

Has anybody got some insight into what costs and issues are involved with taking an old 727-100C used as a freighter and turning it back to a pax aircraft ? Obviously there is plumbing for oxygen, overhead racks, galley installation, seating rails and seats etc to consider... What about floor roller...

My humble understanding is that in flight icing can occur when it is not snowing at ground level to aircraft spending a length of time in the freezing level. Last year a Convair CV 580 descended into a freezing squall and got heavy icing whilst reducing speed for an approach. It stall spun and broke...

T class is often referred to as Tourist class. Air New Zealand still use the ancient Carina computer system inherited from B...

Flying boats tend to fill niche markets nowadays like resorts or utility in remote areas. The cost of developing a new design is prohibative given the low demand. Gruman offered a civil rebuild of the Hu-16A/B as the G-111 seating up to 30 pax. Did you see the Chalk's G-111 lose a wing and crash in ...

You need to sit down and figure out the block hour costs for a given route and airplane. You will soon realise as elapsed time/range increases, the cost of fuel climbs hugely as a percentage. Only high load factors can offset this but LCCs are very vulnerable to a loss of a mere 10% of their load fa...

In New Zealand the term EROPS has been applied to some 733s, but at my airport the engineers still refer to Qantas 733s as ETOPS or non ETOPS. With the phasing out of Air NZ's 744 fleet for a mix of 777-200/300 the status of Jarvis Island, south of Hawaii has become important. The 777 appears to fly...

I am contemplating purchase of a former American Airlines 727-223 and noticed from the seating diagram that it shows no Flight Engineer position. Does anyone know if the 727s flown by AA had the Kollesmann 2 person cockpits ??
