A340 engine changing time
Simple question. Ignorant poster with this matter.
How long does it take to take off number 4 engine on a virgin A340, at Heathrow, and put a new one on?
Thanks ppruners

If it takes overnight, they bloody well haven't a clue what they're doing.
But that may well be the result of not having done the task in a longlong time!
(reminds me of the USAF KC-135R FOD - where they had to fly in the ONE engine change crew who had any real-life experience at the job...)

Yep, book values agree with that - 4 to 8 hours seems bang on - provided the engine didn't go bang in the U.S. (EWR?) as once happened to a VIR A343. 3 Engined ferry then ensued....
As with anything in life, depends on :
Where are the relevant people, and are they doing anything else first ?
Where are the relevant spares ?
Where are the relevant tools ?
