Skids Up Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Hey 407 Driver, See they have announced a new engine for your ride that leaves your present one with a 35% power loss on a standard day, 40% on a hot day, and a 50% higher maintenance cost. :shock: How can they afford to keep you around with numbers like that?

407 Driver Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I haven't talked to the Big Boys yet, but I would imagine (as the largest Canadian 407 Operator) that we may have some dealings with the new engine in the future. I'm not convinced that a change is required, as the C47 has done me no wrong, plus the performance charts can be realized with a MGT (TOT) limited engine. I Never heard a B2 pilot complain about always been Ng limited in a hot and high situation, (they are). A B2 will still do everything the charts say with the Ng limit. The C-47's we are getting OH'd now are actually well above spec, over 20C to the good. Time will tell what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duf Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Hey 407 Was in Cowtown a few weeks ago for a job interview and went to the Aeorspace Museum. Impressive, but I had to sneak out back to get a better look at the machines at your hangar. WOW!!! No idea that a/c was THAT big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
