Concorde Barbados
We don't seem to have a Concorde service to Barbados, any chance of implementing this route?

Old pilots never die, they just run out of runway.

Ooh, I'll second that (not that I've just bought a reason to want it!!)

Re: Concorde Barbados
I don't see any reason why not. I don't have Concorde installed in any shape or form on this pc so I'll go back to the FS9 system and look at routings and times.

Re: Concorde Barbados
The Concorde SST site says the flight time was 3hrs 50mins yet shows the Dep/Arr times as 3hrs 15mins! We generally add 10mins at either end for taxi out/in-routing-f@rting around which would give an overall target time of 3hr35m. Would you be happy with that?

Re: Concorde Barbados
Hello Dave,
The flightplans I have 3:48 as the enroute time.

Re: Concorde Barbados
Hi Paul
Should that be the case (and I've no reason to doubt it) I'd be inclined to go for an overall time of 4hrs to keep it simple. This would probably require one end of the flight starting/ending at or near the runway though so I'm not sure if you'd like to go with that. The LHR-Barbados flight isn't in my newest BA timetable (1983)
I guess I could give it an overall time of 4hr10m.. this should give a more reasonable safety margin

Re: Concorde Barbados
Hi Dave,
On most occasions the taxy out for take off at Heathrow is very short to 27L from the BA Terminal so that might be ok.

Re: Concorde Barbados
Yes indeed.. it's gate at T4 was only a smidge away from 27L but I'm not sure what the run-in time would be at Barbados. Dunno if you fancy doing a trial flight first.. I don't want to leave anyone short on time but on the other hand.. I don't want to give too much time either

Re: Concorde Barbados
Hello Dave,
I can do a trial if you like. Mrs C is on nights mid-week this week so I should be able to get an answer by then.

Yes.. you don't need any interruptions from cabin crew
