G-AZMF and G-APMC

Post by DaveB »

Hi Guy's..

We currently have MikeFox (NigelC) and MikeCharlie (JacobC) off station at 96.5% and 96.7% respectively. Are you both happy to bring these 2 back for maint before they drop below the magic 96% or can they be put in maint now?? As they stand.. maint will be 24hrs.. if they drop to 96, this goes to 3 days and 3 times the cost.

VA policy is not to fly anything with a status under 96%. Don't forget - 96% is our own safe cutoff point to avoid major matinenance.
95% is the point when the maintenance gets expensive at FSAirlines and goes up to 3 days.

I've been waiting for Nigel to get AZMF back to a base before putting it in for maintenance. It can easy make it back before 96%.
Needs to go to one of the following - EGSS EGKK EGCC EGGW EGBB.

Looks like Jacob (APMC) could be starting a long jaunt though & was perhaps not intending to go back to EGLL in the near future. :think:
Jacob, if you read this it would be best if you let us know when to get it maintained for you. 96.7% is not that urgent & so we can put it in for a 24 hour maintenance check when it best suits you.

Just in case any pilots are unaware, the CBFS Fleet Page has all the relevant info about maintenance, status, bases etc.

Sri DM.. I think I should have said below 96.. not AT 96 :) Been a while since I put one in that low but I've a feeling 95 point anything will incur a 3 day maint. I'll have to go and look now :lol:

EDIT..
No.. I was at panic stations. Here are the current maint schedules..
A-Check: 100-95% ; 1 day
B-Check: 95-75% ; 3 days
C-Check: 75-40% ; 7 days
D-Check: 40-0% ; 14 days

I'm planning to take Mike Fox back to LHR on Monday evening, so plan the maint around that.

Brgds and a happy new year!

Cheers Nigel :drinkers:

MikeFox was never really going to be a problem (though I've dropped a HUGE clanger before now having found a hole in the scenery at LHR which in turn sent me 200ft into the air.. writing off the airframe I was in!!).. we're a little more concerned at MikeCharlie which appears to be going the wrong way :o

Calm Aires sir ;-)

Hi Nigel, I'll get MF done now then if you're not flying until Monday.

If Jacob doesn't get back to us, I'll just stick APMC in when he's completed his next leg.

Thanks Nigel & Dave.
