QF 787 to Santiago International Airport
Qantas B787, starting June 2020. How about EDTO requirements?
|
Where is SCL?
|
SCL is the IATA code for Santiago International Airport |
LATAM do it now in a 787 so shouldn’t be a biggie I would have thought. |

I'd be quite confident that the boys and girls in QF ops would have thought about this before making announcements I guess some on here like to use big lines to attract attention>>

LATAM Flight SCL-MEL, for example: https://uk.flightaware.com/live/flig...640Z/SCEL/YMML
|
Don’t the Qantas 787’s have 330min ETOPS anyway. |
Starting June 2020!!...... Was hoping they were starting Sep 2019, that would have got me out of the two I have to do next roster!

Self certified by Boeing?

SYD/SCL on two? Thanks, but no thanks!
|
So where does this leave the SYD-JNB route from 2021? |

The announcement indicates a daily service so there won’t be any excessively long slips in SCL. CASA approval of 330 minutes is currently being processed and will be available before June 2020. It also means there are not enough hulls to replace the B747 on JNB & HND routes - maybe there are more on order that we haven’t been told about. |
JNB and HND were to be the 380 however the Japanese have told Qantas it can’t go to Haneda. Nobody seems to know what plan B is. |
So you are at 65south and the Cargo Fire Warning goes off. Where is the nearest runway? Airbus, Boeing, 2 or 4 engines. Same applies! |

Enough room to get in, but not out? At least there’d be a reasonable sized bonfire on the runway to keep everyone toasty. For a time. |

I thought the argument about 2 v 4 engines on long over-water flights was finished 30 years ago - but not in Australia it seems...................

BB: So how many times in the last 20 years has a 4 engined aircraft lost two engines but been saved by the fact that it’s a quad? How many times in the last 20 years has a quad lost ONE engine but been saved by the fact it’s a quad? And then there’s the Kegwort style incidents. Semantics, twins have less failures because they HAVE to:) |
Assuming something won't happen because it is yet to happen is hubris. From the man obsessed with undertaking a ‘longitudinal study’ before launching any new route. How many times in the last 20 years has a quad lost ONE engine but been saved by the fact it’s a quad? |
Ummm - Kegworth type incidents? When in doubt, I would ALWAYS err on the side of a bigger hammer. An earthmoving mate gave me exceptionally good advice which does have some significance around 65S. ‘Always use the biggest machine you can - it works out better in the long run’ And at 65+S, it’s ALWAYS a long run! |

If it makes you happy, so be it. But others may find comfort in more modern aircraft built to later certification standards and more upgraded systems. Of course, I’m totally ignoring the fact that ‘modern’ jets never break down or need maintenance. |

Siple Island is lovely this time of year. McMurdo even better - they have accomodation (for scientists) although there is nothing currently available on Airbnb.... Of course, I’m totally ignoring the fact that ‘modern’ jets never break down or need maintenance. |
