HS748 Maintenance hours per flight hour

Post by hobby »

Can anyone tell me what, in the real world, the ratio of maintenance hours per flight hour for an HS 748 say halfway through its useful life might have been?

Depends on hours per sector, every flight would require some maintenance action,
Even if its only refilling water meth.

On the Fokker 27, similar technology aeroplane, it needed 2 hrs maintenance per flight day,
with a 4 hour A check every 25 hrs.
