Vincent take over Brindabella
Hearing Vincent have taken on some of Brindabella routes and staff. Interesting to note using SF340's perhaps we can see some competition down the track with rex
|
GSE has been delivered to Narrabri and the old Pelican ground handling team have been trained to use it.
...sorry did someone say "old"? :ooh: |
whats with the ZK rego?
|
why deal with casa if you dont have to?:E
|
Saab's are all VH- registered now, I believe.
Just the QuadraPuff on the ZK- side. |
Interesting...
Anyone know what sort of numbers Brindies were getting out of there each day? Weren't they operating a metro on that route? I heard a rumour the owners of the J32's were starting another Newcastle based operation "pelican air"... |
Bladeangle re -Narrabri figures.
All regional route quarterly figures to Sydney are published here. Re daily flights I suppose you'd have to dig up a schedule for each port. Looks like Narrabri-Sydney is maxing out around 14-15000 pax pa.

Thanks Fieldmouse! That puts it into perspective.

What doesn't show
In the official figures is a bit of FIFO stuff either via charter from Syd and Brisvegas. I even think Brindy had a RPT route out of Brissy same as Tamworth.
|
The Saab and the 146 did a few BNE-NAA-SYD flights late this week.
Vincent Aviation plans to provide daily passenger service between Narrabri and Sydney | Vincent Aviation Vincent Aviation to host a scenic flight for the Narrabri Shire Community on Saturday 18th January | Vincent Aviation |
From the Vincent Aviation Australia website, it seems they are applying only for Narrabri-Sydney at this stage.
It seems unlikely to me that they would fly the BAe146 into Narrabri, even for publicity purposes.... Bye for now, G |
Promise you Gordon old mate, the BAe146 was in Narrabri on 10th January and subsequently also.
|
Smells like a broker job to me. Probably AVMIN eyeing off a FIFO. Perhaps the Whitehaven project?
|
Thanks Mr Leafblower,
Looks like I stand corrected- I bet the 146 is the biggest plane into Narrabri in ages... looking forward to seeing some pics- I'll have a scout around on the interweb. Bye for now, G |
The 146 has some spare capacity seeing jets have been banned by Casa from operating into the new Miles runway. No papi. Second thoughts maybe as it's a ZK rego it still goes there
|
According to Flightaware, ZK-ECO was last in Miles on Jan 7th.
|
What? Do CASA think it's impossible to land a jet without PAPI? :ugh:
Better ban them from Roma while they're at it. |
The rule might be considered OTT but it's there.

Wasn't the papi an issue with Jetgo and the 145 to barcaldine
|
Both Australia & NZ require PAPI
If the aircraft is ZK registered....
Rule 121.71: (b) A holder of an air operator certificate must ensure that an aeroplane performing an air operation under the authority of the holder’s certificate does not use an aerodrome for landing or taking-off unless the aerodrome has— (1) rescue fire equipment that is appropriate to the aeroplane type and is acceptable to the Director; and (2) for turbojet and turbofan powered aeroplanes, an operating visual approach slope indicator system, except when the aeroplane is performing a precision instrument approach that includes glideslope guidance. |
