ATP Ferry
 

G-JEMD arrived Malta from CVT late this pm dept tomorrow on ferry to Deraya Air Taxi .G-JEME will follow it later on any more info appreciated .
thks

The ATPs will be arriving in Halim where they will put on the Indonesian register , they will be working a general cargo run Sentani (Jayapura) to Wamena.

Some expat crews and check and training captains will be used for 6 months while the local pilots build experience on type , 10 local pilots (Shorts 360 and Casa 212 captains and FOs) have already done the ATP sim training at Oxford.

I had to laugh this morning , this was on PPrune before I got an email on the ferry flight progress from the UK.

The ATP was supposed to leave on Monday but was held up due to a fault with one of the engines , turned out to be a microswitch . The aircraft have been parked for a couple of years and were fine during test flights and then when it came to do the ferry it spat the dummy.

I wish i was sitting there in the AC .We also had SE-DRN Bae146-200F to Indonesia a few weeks ago and I can see that there is another Bae146 routing as below:


BAe 146 -200 2139 PK- Aviastar Mandiri delivery 28-29jul09 YYC-YTH-YFB-KEF-MMX, C-reg ex C-GRNU

Yes , Indo is rapidly becoming the new hot market for BAE-146 and RJ due to the excellent short field capability. The only issue is they have to be less than 20 yrs old to be put on the PK register for the first time.

Most of these aircraft are headed for East Indonesia (Papua).

Aviastar totalled their 146-200 a few months ago at Wamena , that airport has swallowed a 146 and a C-130 this year.

do you still have any B732s and B727s flying in Indonesia?that country is heaven for aviation!!

Hope you've got a good spare stock together with aircraft. ATP parts available only in Europe and some non-aircraft specific in US, so any shipment will take 3-4 days to Jayapura.

Just out of interest what your performance calcs suggesting for available take-off and landing weight on typical day at Wamena?

Tri-MG airlines is still flying B727 cargo , most of the pax 727's were parked in 2005 / 2006 and are in the process of being scrapped at Cengkareng now.

Some 732s still flying with Sriwijaya , Air Fast and others.

My office overlooks the runway at Halim and it's always great to watch the 727 take off and feel the ground shake like it did yesterday afternoon :ok:

Cargo one , I don't have the numbers on hand but from memory the ATPs are down about 750 kg from max payload for Wamena. I helped put the deal together but not involved in the daily operations other than checking up periodically on the 2 ATPs for an overseas party .

The aircraft is chock full of spares and consumables being ferried out with the aircraft and we have a good supply line for additional items.

Your wrong there mate. Quiet wrong

are they planning to add more ATPF's in the future? last count was 32 ATPs still flying... do correct me if i'm wrong. :ok:

Not too many ATPFs around on the market , might be some ATP pax later on.

Dunzilla, close to 60 of 64 ever built aircraft are in Europe and spares are there as well. Sometimes you can see part numbers available somewhere else including Far East and Australia, but usually they are in "removed as serviceabe" condition without suitable paperwork. Unless BAE has positioned part of their stock to different location, I don't see who & where have lots of ATP parts there.

Thks

Hi Malcolm,

It arrived at Halim Perdanakusma about 1.15am on Saturday morning.

thks alot my friend

malc

Didn't claim to be 'lots' but there is a considerable parts around the Asian region to be sufficient in providing stock to an Indonesian carrier.

As far as I know, BAe hold very little in terms of parts, whereas Westair own majority.

G-JEME launching from UK tomorrow .... ETA Jakarta on Sunday

The ATPF is how I imagine an old HS-748 would come out of an episode of 'Pimp my Plane' except they stuck the sun roof on the side of the aircraft

Infact arrival Malta today 1600 suppose
