Farty Flaps,
I have forgotten more about aircraft noise certification and general aircraft certification than most will ever hope to know. Anyone that has read my posts here on PPRUNE knows I can walk the walk and talk the talk.
Would you mind pointing out which of MKs 747 Classics do not have Stage 3 certification? In fact, unless you are a French person all 747 Classics are Stage 3 certified.
With the exception of the 707 era Boeing aircraft there are Stage 3 solutions for all models if I remember correctly. Some can be bought right from Boeing and others you can get from a third party. Very few 3rd world countries are flying jets into the EU or other noise sensative areas on waiver anymore. Hell, its getting hard to fly an MD-80 around the EU.
As far as you questioning my qualifications.........
ps. Before anybody jumps on this post because of my sometimes questionable posts regarding the Airbus product please don't take this thread down that path.
