Question about the Let 420/410 E20 on Cargo

Hello all,

Curious to know if anyone knows of any operators using these aircraft for Freight Ops?

Just wanted to compare the Payload, Flight Planned speed,Range & cost per hour figures I have, with someone who may actually use them.
I have 700nm with a payload of 1700kg, at 200kts,anyone able to confirm this.

I have seen them in DHL colours any one else?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I briefly flew Let410 UVP-E in pax and cargo configurations.

we used to plan on TAS of 180kts.

with full main and aux (wing tip tanks) we had approx 1400kgs and based on 300 kg/hr consumption and reserves in mind we used to fly it on up to 4 hours legs= 720NM.

i do not recall the payload but i remember there is a fuel to payload penalty as the MZFW to MTOW was small.

hope this helps

I imagine FARNAIR Hungary (www.farnair.com) operates a few. There was also an operator in the Czech Republic (Topair) that used to fly for UPS. I vaguely remember that alsa ABA Air in Prague operates some Lets.

Cheers
