Try reading my post again.

I said the 748 burns 1,100 litres/hr, not kg/hr. That equates pretty much with your quoted burn n'est-ce pas?

Skystar320

kilo / litre ratio is roughly 1 straight.............

In a word.... NO!

One litre of Jet A1 weighs between around 0.775 and 0.810 kg, dependent on the SG of the fuel.

Skystar320 ,You will find that is water not Jet A1.

If you are a consultant you would have known the difference in weight between water and jet A1.

Up to about a week ago I understand 'IM had not flown at all since its arrival SEN - not even any crew training. I don't know if that situation has changed since it came out of the spray shop.

I am sure I am correct in noting this thread was created to bring about a positive feed for Janes Aviation.

For some of us it is an interesting and refreshing read.

Why do some individuals have to lower the tone to the same jargan that was posted on the later 'Emerald and the CAA'.

It shouldnt be what this new thread is about.

Perhaps JAN OPS 1 could give us an update on when operations are due to commence and a flavour of what form they will take. That would give us all something positive to talk about.

Answer is simple, there is the same common denominator. AJ will have his hands full convincing customers that the 748 is the right A/C, without the added burden of convincing them (and the CAA, and potential employees) that MOB has some how changed his ways.

Good luck Andy - just hope you don't make the same mistake twice - now that would be careless.

JAN OPS 1

Thank you all for your interest.

We are currently investigating many commercial leads to secure suitable work for the HS748. We were unable to really push this area until the AOC & OL were issued.

One area of concern has been the many aircraft of non-UK and non-EU registers that are currently operating in the UK. Having gone through a very expensive and long-winded process to ensure that the HS748 meets all JAR-OPS requirements, including performance, it is a little galling to see these other operators (fine though they may be) who may be operating aircraft that do not necessarily meet the same JAR-OPS requirements we have had to meet.

On other fronts, as has been seen G-AYIM is now resplendant in the Janes scheme (with or without the extra dot's!). Work is underway to enable a TRTO approval so that we can train additional crews. The second aircraft G-OSOE is being prepared and will enter service shortly. Transition to EU-OPS is also in hand.

Will update as thing's develope.

As far as foreign registered aircraft are concerned. You have my sympathy there.

This is what really bought Tradewinds down and possibly contributed to Anglo cargo's dimise. They were a good well run outfit's with UK reg and AOC. Unfortunately aircraft with african registrations and AOC's (bought in the bazaar), came in doing flights in and out of the UK along side the UK operators, at of course at less cost, so it does not take a bean counter to forecast the end result.

The UK authorities allowed this to happen and continue to happen to this very day and nothing seems to be done about it. I think it is an absolute disgrace.

GRRRRRRRRRRReat news, Hope Basiljet approves

Guys, the skystar is a kid with a version of microsoft flight sim 2000. just try looking through his other posts that are littered like ramenta throughout the entire PPRuNe site.

Totally ignorant, totally arrogant. 15 or 16 max.

Every post he makes is basically a wind up. It has to be. Noone can be really as asinine as him!

Expressflight

AOC and Class A Operating Licence issued 5 weeks ago and still no reports of any flying having taken place.

Hope all continues to go to plan .........
