A300 Location

It's not Monarch is it? Well don't learn it box by box cos that makes it so much harder. Learn where each individual item is eg- take the oxygens and then memorise where they go, dont just remember things like "at the front left door theres 2 x BCFs, 2 x Smoke hoods, 3 x Oxygens" etc..

if u get what i mean...!
takes me about 15 diagrams every time to get it perfect whilst revising!

Good luck. T

Monarch A300's are all A300-600 not B4's so can't be them!

It could be the new DHL "Pampering Your Package" programme...

Sorry, but I couldn't resist.

Oh dear Longarm, ...... looks like you Monarch peeps dont know what you're flying!! The Monarch A300's are most certainly B4'S! Yes, you're correct to use the generalisation of A300-600, but the specific is A300B4-605R (G-MAJS/G-MONS/G-OJMR/G-MONR)

Oh, an i think the Air Scandics are A300B4-102's(?) and 203's

Ops jockey is correct and furthermore:
A300B4-622 is a A300-600 with PW4000 engines.

Also you say the original A300B4 "is much smaller" than a A300-600. For your Information it is exactly the same width of a Fuselage and Approximately 8 Ft longer than the B4-103/203 with approximately the same wing span. Basically the only difference bthe 2 A/C's are better Engines and more modern Avionics and a Few extra seats for the SLF(Self Loading Freight)

Hey Flying mech,

You state (correctly!) B4-622 is the P/W engine, which is the designator for the GE fans? 605/603...? Just curious, memory isnt what it was!! im almost 28!!
