The same rules for everyone, Lien!

Out of curiosity: what is the difference between this topic and the other actif one about the B777?

If you want to continue the B777 discussion in this one, wouldn't it be better to archive the other one? Because 2 identical discussion at the same time sounds a bit illogical...

If the other one continous about the KL B772, it's no problem...

In case you want to add '777' to the topic starter, just press the edit button.

The Boeing 777-300ER, the newest addition to the 777 family, stopped in Dubai - one of eight stops worldwide - on its global ETOPS (Extended Operations) certification flight test.

Emirates will test-fly the aircraft to Mauritius to evaluate the aircraft's ETOPS capability.

'Each of the destinations on the Boeing 777-300ER's test-flight path was selected because of the current or potential ETOPS flight requirements of the country's airline,' explained Frank Santoni, Boeing Chief 777 Program Pilot. 'Dubai was a definite destination on the flight path since Emirates will become the largest 777-300ER operator in the world by mid-2007 when all 26 of their airplanes on order will be delivered to the airline.'
ETOPS (Extended Operations) is the program that enables airlines around the world to fly twin-engine jetliners on routes that at some point take those planes more than 60 minutes flying time from the nearest airport.
With over 1100 international flights per day ETOPS has demonstrated the enormous success of twinjets on long-range and very long-range operations.
Emirates' Capt Al Shamsi said: "Even in the hottest summer weather, its longer wings and more powerful GE90-115 engines will help it take off in a shorter distance. A lot of the vital documents we need, for example charts and technical manuals, will also be kept in its 'electronic flight bag,' greatly reducing paperwork on the flight deck."

On its ETOPS certification flight test, the Boeing 777-300ER will record approximately 220 hours of flying - including additional engine shutdowns for a continuous 330 minutes - various system checks, and simulated malfunctions to ensure the systems are working in the long-range environment.
Recently, the 777-300ER completed the longest 'engine-out' demonstration flight ever in support of ETOPS certification when it flew more than five hours with one of its two engines shut down.
During the approximately 13-hour Seattle-to-Taiwan test flight, the airplane's crew shut off one of the two General Electric GE90-115B engines and flew the plane for 330 minutes on the other engine.
'It was a flawless flight. We were pleased with the way the aircraft and the GE90-115B engine performed,' Santoni said. "Everything we've done so far is putting us in position for the ETOPS certification series of flights and final approval by the FAA.'
Final ETOPS certification for the Boeing 777-300ER by U.S. and European regulatory authorities is slated for early 2004.
The first 777-300ER will be delivered in April 2004 to International Lease Finance Corporation's customer, Air France.

Ok, here is a question for all the 777-lovers: last year I spotted in Paris CDG (Boeing 777 - pictures)many Air France 777's starting from F-GSPA and I also saw F-GSPZ, does this mean that they have 26 triple seven's or even more?

I am sorry A318, but Airfrance has 25 777-228's.

The only missing is F-GSPW, which became the
F-GSPZ instead.

They will receive 777-328's in 2004.

Hi Frederic,

No it are 41 + 2 sold (to Khalifa/Air Algerie)
now bankrupt

Post by **sn26567** » 30 Oct 2003, 10:03

Why would BA already have sold 2 B777s? Another management blunder?

Lien · Post by **Lien** » 30 Oct 2003, 10:36

Because they are 777-236, not -236ER.

they sold
G-ZZZD to Khalifa 7T-VKP -> N702BA
G-ZZZE to Khalifa 7T-VKQ -> N703BA

will send pictures later, not available at VLM

Haha so you work for VLM???

What's your favourite route? What do you think of LCY (don't tell me you haven't been, it's a major VLM hub).

What do you think of the Fokker 50?

Do you think it is a good thing that the airline no longer has a business class?

What Belgian beers do you serve on board?
