IL 76 fuel burn
Hi there! I am trying to figure out what is the fuel burn of a IL 76 and if it can operate in Europe (RVSM - Noise - etc)
Thanks to anyone will spare a little time to answer...
Cheers,
Bugs

Fuel burn varies. Depending of payload and engine conditions. Try 9 tones per hour average for loaded sector.
Not sure regarding RVSM compliance but I think there are some approved airframes.
Europe (apart from some East European states) is no-go unless you have an examption (normally provided for military, relief, UN, special interest, outsized cargo charters).
VDA is hoping to have re-engined stage 3 IL76 operational Q1 2005 but it wouldn't be cheap.

Morning Bugs bunny,
To answer your questions to the best of my knowledge:-
Fuel burn - Typically approx. 8 tons per hour (depending on variant & operational climate)
As for Europe (EEC) - As Cargoone says, that's a no no unless special permissions are given. They do operate from some East European countries however the majority are based in the Middle East.
Some aircraf are planned to be re-engined in the near future....however 2 points to make in regards to this:-
1) This has been the rumour for some time.
2) It's very expensive and It may not be economically viable to do so.
It's a shame because the IL76 is a beautifull aircraft and is trully a work horse in every sense of the word. Currently no equivalent on the market.
Hope this has been of help to you.
