[quote=Blackhawk9;2830234]Whats Happening in the Torres Straits?..................Obviously nothing ! As the 412 is in a million bits on a major inspection at Redcliff airport, so AH will getaway without IFR twin drivers for a couple of months up north while the work is carried out,
Black H9
Where did you get the couple months for major from.....I heard it will be down for a max time of 5 weeks, well thats what AH are planning on and thats what they have told the customer...Apparently..
good one
Heard the last major was also a very quick one 4 weeks comes to mind
Can you imagine the corrision they would find if they do the job properly and strip the machine back to bear metal, after nearly 7 years in the tropics and overflying salt water its entire life...
Eh, but that would cost money....
I hope some one can keep us informed on the progress of this machine while its down there
Some one told me the other day down time for majors for 412s overseas are generally 3 to 6 months..
5 weeks seems a bit quick
What do you guys say?
