Jetstream anyone>?
Is there anyone who is familiar with Jetsream 31/2 who can tell me if they are a load of cack or not and if they get more than their fair share of gremlins. I would hate to fork out half a million quid to have the thing in the work shop more often than it is in the air

I worked as a planner/QA with coastair in norway until March past no really chronic problems so if it has been looked after would get a survey done and see what comes up half a mill would seem cheap though so do beware.

I see your location is derbyshire???
What is your reason for purchasing a Jetstream, in terms of the market your aiming at??
Have you done much research into Jetstreams or only just started researching??
Eastern use to operate mainly Jetstream31/32 but now operate Jetstream 41, however there maybe a few 31/32 still knocking around. Best bet would be to call up Eastern. They are the largest Jetstream operator in europe.

So we explored all sorts of planes and came accross a few Jetstreams in yupi dress so she asked can we afford to buy one and run it. I am just asking the questions to see if it is possible or practical will be looking for 2 pilots for a while too !!!

What sort of distance is she wanting to fly?? Jetstream 32 is a 19 seater aircraft. Cheap to run, pretty reliable providing you have an engineer and spare parts. I actually know of a pilot that may be interested as hes coming up for retirement so private flying would be ideal for him. PM me and ill give you more details. Rgds

I am currently employed with a company that operate J31 and we carry out maintenance on our own aircraft and 3rd party work for other operators of the J31.
The aircraft are ok if you keep on top of them and work them, but if you do not use them regularly and have them sitting around they can start to be a pain. Parts are still fairly easy to get even though the aircraft has been around for a while. A lot of aircraft have been brought back into use recently that have been sitting in the desert for a few years so their popularity is on the up.
If you are looking at getting one get a good survey carried out it will be worth it in the long run. I have surveyed a few in the last few years and there are some dogs about. If the aircraft that you look at has been on the ground for a few years and does not meet all the requirements of TCAS II and TAWS these can be expensive modifications to carry out.
If you need any further details let me know.

J31 Tpe331-10/12
I used to be involved with this aircraft type many years ago.
Ignore any ex RAF aircraft and HP 137's with the Astazou engines, you want the Garretts.
Earlier Garrett -10 engines, if my memory serves, had a torque measurement system that utised oil pressure and could become expensively unreliable. You are better off with later engines that used a strain gauge system.
I also seem to recall that the inverters on the earlier aircraft weren't so good. Again from memory you want a post aircraft 650 build number.
'fraid that's about all I can remember at this time of night.
