JAR-OPS Class A Aircraft

[Seaeagle109]

Could someone tell me where I can obtain a list of aircraft types that comply or are operated to this standard. I have tried the JAR-OPS document but it's 164 pages and I can't download the pages or browse them rapidly; so I can't tell if it's a performance standard similar to the performance of Australian CAO 20.7.1B(ie transport category aircraft) or limited to weights.

Specificly interested in knowing whether the following aircraft comply

1/ IAI Westwind WW24
2/ Cessna Citation II
3/ IAI Astra( now known as Gulfstream G100)
4/ Beechcraft B350
5/ F27

Thanks for any replies.

Hmmm .. I have 1230 hours in Westwinds in Australia - do we know each other?

The Beech 350 can be Class A or B depending on the number of passenger seats.
The rest are class A.

I guess you've read JAR-OPS 1.470 but if not:
Class A are multi-engined aeroplanes powered by turbopropeller engines with a maximum approved passenger seating configuration of more than 9 or a maximum take-off mass exceeding 5700kg, and all multi-engine turbojet powered aeroplanes.

JAR-OPS 1.480, describing terminology, tells us that the maximum approved passenger seating configuration concerns the idividual aeroplane, not the maximum approved for the type.

Hope this is of some help...

TheMagus,

Thanks for the info much appreciated.

Checkboard,

Maybe; but my Westwind time is with the Seascan from Coastwatch not Pelair.

Cheers.
