The Thaisky one is the -1 Freighter 522 engines.
Skyeyes is the -200 524 engines.
I did ask these Egyptians ground engineers about this engine A/D on the three -100's
They stated that it had been complied with through some kind of alternate means of compliance.
This Egli guy was supposed to be preparing the -1 freighter for a DHL contract flying into Iraq, but Sabir claims he bought the aircraft.
Was getting to be like a soap opera there.
Things may have changed in the last few weeks in BKK but have my doubts.

All the Thaisky L1011's were grounded because they dont comply with AD's. Egli did go and look at the -1 but only a miracle and lots of money will make it fly again.
There is an international travel ban on Egli for his escapades in Liberia and Sierra Leone, dont know how he manages to move around so freely(Dont shoot me - only the messenger) so also dont know or understand that DHL will do business with him.
Believe that some of the Thaisky crew are now busy flying the Hajj for Mr Muhgrabi, on a US N registered (ferry-flight) aicraft.

Any idea where the Thai registered -200 freighter is now ?
It was originally leased to Sunny by the Belgian company but grabbed in FUJ.
Last I heard it was sitting there but I guess it may have ended up back in Bangkok. This aircraft had the AD done on the engines
Funny enough there is an alternate means to comply with the engine AD but only on the 524 ! not 22B.
The other -200F ( that started this thread !) is still in Greece

It seems that Elsaker's XT-BRK is grounded at Jeddah?
Fine already paid, so I'm told.

Earl: Most are ex ATA and flew this aircraft before and know the history and the reason ATA parked it.

As of December 12th 2007 it was in BKK, probably is till there.
They tried to do a RVSM certification flight with the Thai DCA on board.
Aircraft would not pressurize, neither autopilots would engage so the flight returned to BKK.
Also the number R5 spoiler would intermittently pop up full every time flaps 4 was selected.
Crew walked off due to payment issues after this, so whats going on now is anyones guess.
Egyptian ground engineers at there finest hour!
But then again, you get what you pay for!

Yep, still the same, saw it yesterday parked next to my aircraft on apron 6 receiving pax onboard...N194AT.
Hey 411 does that mean you have your aircraft up & running now?
Whats the status?

Will it ever end......hopefully not in tears......Someone somewhere must be able to give the appropriate authorities the information that is required to get this fool off the streets......There are people that see this aircrafty in their travels.....do something about it before it does it to you.

I wonder which Part of the FAR's is N194 operating for hire and reward
Also which FAA regional office hold their certificates
Also which FAA regional office hold their certificates
A loop-hole?
Yes, I expect so.
Also, I was told that the aeroplane is in remarkably good condition, and proved quite reliable during Hajj flying.
Dunno for sure, however.

411,
[COLOR="Red"]By [/COLOR]Also, I was told that the aeroplane is in remarkably good condition,
[COLOR="Black"]I assume, by this you mean the paint job was sparkling !
Both 91 and 125 require the aircraft be Maintained by a program approved by the Administator although 91 allows a program approved by the manufacturer which in the case of Lockheed is C check every 13 months not to exceed 15 months, plus both 91 and 125 require the aircraft and engines to comply with TCDS including all requirements of 14 CFR39 [COLOR="red"](AD,s)[/COLOR]

Well yes, it did look rather spiffy, from afar.
And, how do you know it does not?
Much speculation here it appears, by folks clearly not in the know.
I was told that the aeroplane in question is on a 4200 hours/no calendar limit inspection program, and indeed this has been approved for others, including the one I am flying now.
Indeed, a waiver might well have been obtained for the engine shaft-axial motion AD, among others....stranger things have happened.
Why not travel to the aeroplanes present location, and find out for yourself, if interested...then you would know for sure, maybe.
