46% as a lowest serviceabilty rate with for the C130J??
Last week??
Given our ongoing engine problems I suspect that is a typo; 4.6% might be more accurate
One can prove many things with statistics but those show that each type is basically as serviceable as the other (56.5% vs 57.5%) - the J being a new aircraft with the associated problems of being such and the K being a 30 year old aircraft with the problems likewise. Out of interest, anyone know what the daily serviceability targets are for the engineering lines?
As for increased capability, I stand by my earlier comments that the improved performance of the C130J
does offer an increase in capability over that offered by the C130K, like for like.
