OK, in order for you to get some flying in on FlyNET whilst we wait for new aircraft to be delivered I have given all pilots a 'Type Rating' on the Fokker 100. Seven of the eight Fokker 100's are now at Stansted and routes are available.
Cruise FL250 - FL300 (distance dependant)
Cruise speed - M0.64
Block fuel is @2000kgs per hour then add another 2000kgs for hold/diversion.
1.0hr flight 4000kgs fuel load
1.5hr flight 5000kgs fuel load
2.0hr flight 6000kgs fuel load
etc etc
This assumes still air flight conditons.
Familiarise yourself with the aircraft first.
There is absolutely no obligation to fly the Fokker 100, the offer is there purely to get you going until we get the 'proper' fleet. Of course, the Fokker 100 is no longer in production so could be classed a classic along the lines of the '146.

Many thanks John, I have spent this afternoon getting familiar with the little fokker. It does have a certain charm. I flew from Vienna to Stansted and will do some circuits and bumps before I attempt a revenue earning flight. I would prefer to do long haul cargo flights if that can be arranged at a date in the future. Such as Stansted to Nairobi via Rome- Benghazi- Khartoum- Entebbe - Nairobi. Aircraft of choice would be Argosy, Argonaut, Vanguard or Viscount.
Best Regards
Sean
