fokker 27 500

[gordocooper]

Does anyone have any information on simulator training on the fokker 27?
where are sims located?.. any info would be appreciated..

On this planet there is only one F27-500 sim available, it is with Friendship Simulation Company, nowadays called CAE in the Netherlands.
This is a convertible sim, the individual control panels are box-type units and the sim is changed to -200 or -500 version about 2 times a month, as per customer schedules.
If I recall correctly the computer works the Dart-7 532 engines.

I did my fokker 27 sim in france one month ago.SIM TRO training center,dinard,St malo. Q me for more detail

[Pmajclarke]

Does Sim Tro have a web site or contact info

Is that a Fairchild F27 sim or a Fokker F-27 sim?
TAT was a Fairchild F27 operator. Also it is the same type rating in most countries (not in India and some other places) there are some essential differences between the two aircraft.

Edited to say: There was a Fairchild sim in Pittsburgh, a 3-axis type with no own vision, it was linked with a BAC 1-11 sim and they shared the vision. That sim is in Miami now, up to my knowledge.
There was another sim in Indonesia, I have no info about it as no one ever confirmed that it was ever certified, so for me never a reason to follow that one up.

hallo
i also need to know where to get the fokker 27 500 type
please if anybody knows tell us

Ah yes, the 'ole Fokker F.27
I have several thousand hours in this fine aeroplane, very good build quality combined with very reliable RR Dart engines.
The Fairchild varient wasn't bad, either.

[Der absolute Hammer]

Yes perhaps-but my goodness it could leak air at a prodigious rate. Why on earth equip it with pneumatics when the HS 748, concurrent type, was running the systems on hydraulics?
Course, second segment climb was better in the F27, as I remember, if you could get the undercarriage retracted of course-or on the go around for that matter and, for some strange reason, it was an altogether dirtier aircraft than the 748. Perhaps the British put their sloppy darts in the Focker?

Hmmm, strange, never had that particular problem on the ones that I flew, although....these were corporate airplanes, not airliners.

Because...if you have a system leak, it can be repaired, and there is plenty of 'air' available.;)

Not to get into long arguement/discussion but I wonder if most of your F27 flying was on the US built Fairchild F27 and possible build to a better standard than the Dutch ones?
In Africa and in Europe, the Fokker F27 had pneumatic system that really did leak air and far from being easy to fill up, was a real pain especially as most airfields we landed in in Africa and Europe had no compressed air bottles and fitment. Who else or what else used compressed air? Also, in hydraulic leak, you can see where fluid comes form. Not the case with an air leak I regret to say.
The HS 748s which I flew in Africa never leaked hydraulics and if they had, quite contrary to the air refill problem, hydrailic fluid of one kind or another was always there.
As for the Fokker sim..used to be at Maastricht but think it has now changed. Perhaps that back issue of Flight International wich every year lists the worlds simulators might help witht he inquiry?

Personally operated both the Fairchild and Fokker designs in the middle east/Africa areas, and found no undue problems with the pneumatic systems in either.
As a corporate aircraft, we had superb maintenance.

Apparently, from what I heard through the grapevine, the pneumatic systems did present difficulties for Nordair operating them on the Arctic Dewline in Canada. However, -40 is a lot different than +40.

I have it on good authority the Indonesian F27 sim has been brought back to full motion spec.
Someone looking for a F27 type rated pilot? PM me

[prasannakumar]

hello How much does it cost for u for the type rating ? is multi engine required to do f 27 type rating?

[prasannakumar]

hello delta am looking for f27 type rating hw much does it cost and were can i complete it my id
