FSAirlines

Some of the RW jetliners you can get for a few mil are old junkers that are only two or three flights away from the scrap yard and the value reflects the scrap value of the airframe. Also since we added the ticket factor the extra revenue they can produce will offset there less fuel efficient engin...

I agree with John Although Im not overly concerned with the size of our coffers , the most modern aircraft that VHA operates is the BAe146 - it is VERY difficult to make a huge profit with any second generation Jet and nye on impossible with first gen. (with the exception of the 707/Dc8) Even "back ...

Actually Chris we do them on every charter we fly -- along with a white bucket test by the crews -- its the only way the feds let us use non contract fuel -- self audit so lets see Reno, Laughlin,Tunica plus the NCAA charters probably 15-20 a week

Thank you very much for all your efforts


The other Venture CEO

thats alright Hezza - Theres one ex-patriot Brit here trying to correct them ;) sometimes it makes me wish for the bad old days roaring down from Luton to Palma on the jumpseat of a Dan Air 1-11 with the overspeed "clacker" circuit breakers pulled -- when flying the barber pole was considered the no...

Right Dave :wink: We (the real airline) like everyone else in this day and age fly constant mach where possible for two reasons economy and economy 8) We flight plan the MD80 at .75 for best fuel efficiency then let ISA decide best flight level /IAS. This yields a burn (again this applies to the Mad...

Ohhhh can I flight plan our Hughes 500s with Mach?/ oh please oh please ------BTW Dave I thought Rapides used a calendar for IAS

Actually it wasn't a stupid edit Oban was loaded by one of the members of VHA - originally as OBN/EGEO as you say the computer doesn't give a damn so long as the 1s and 0's match up - in this case he used FS9s lat/lon to load it into FSA- so there was no -problem whatsoever -- as you say its nomencl...

which does NOT explain why when I rebuilt the afcad for Oban John and reindentified it as EGEO that both FS and FSA accepted it quite happily

John Sorry my friend you have to put it back the way it was I just recieved this email from Highland airways Ops office in inverness perations <operations@highlandairways.co.uk> Add to Addresses Block Sender Date: Friday, September 26, 2008 12:23 PM To: leifharding@cox.net Add to Addresses Subject: ...

back to OBN then


AS I said I modified to what was in FSAirlines

still not sure why the lack of passengers though - Hey ho -- Guess I will just haul Haggis and Haig as I said

Leif

off topic I know I can understand the confusion -- after the Broadford identifier :shock: For what its worth I was wrong it wasnt the Oban site its WIki (and we know how accurate that is) and they verified through - http://worldaerodata.com/wad.cgi?id=UK17679&sch=EGEO my problem was the other way ro...

hmmm Oban's own website says EGEO - along with some nice photos of their little terminal and tower there -


Leif

I think you will find that as the only Dove available for FS is Derek Palmers Mk5 then the numbers in the database are incorrect The only "11" seat Dove was the Canadian conversion the most a standard Dove could carry was 9 passengers and two crew so the Database needs changing there - I know the fr...

Thanks Chris Yes I checked - same aircraft I have been flying all around that route - also checked to see if it was built as a cargo DC3 and modiifed it for BOTH - no joy -- Im trying one more thing In FSAirlines Oban is listed as EGEO and the scenery I have lists it as OBN so we will see ;) Leif
