L1011 MMO .95 ?


Doesn't sound right.


Fantastic, wonderful Aircraft but everything I can find on the MMO shows .90

Mach number L1011
 

Stilton, you are "on the same tram" as me. I wrote that Max Continuous Mach, or Mmo was Mo.90 and that Max Operating or Mne was Mo.95. In practice most operators cruised at lower Mach to conserve fuel, around M0.84. If my recollection is correct, and that may be debated, the company Mne was M0.89 or thereabouts. I never operated the Convair 880 however they were renowned as a very fast aircraft, if if you could afford the fuel burn.

Understood OF,


In any case I envy you enormously, would love to have operated the Tristar.


Was it your favourite ?


Best wishes.

L1011
 

Stilton, the L1011 is certainly a very crew friendly aircraft. Check your PM's.
