Vistaliners 727-100 Dan-Air Paints

[Garry Russell]

Which is why the existing already started project to paint all the Dan Air liveries on the 100 is still on hold :think:

Because the permission was not clear

Also it states in the 727-100 Beta Pack:

.........which also contradicts what I'm saying..............

Just sent another message to Erick, hopefully he'll drop a word in when he gets in from work.

As I said previous..... I wouldn't do it if it wasn't all well n' good

There really is nothing to worry about

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I was beginning to think there was a second 727-100 doing the rounds that we didn't know about. If Vistaliners have amended the policy about repaints that's fine and dandy but you can see where are concerns were coming from when the readme and the website have contradictory info from what is being allowed now. We were just ensuring the developers wishes were not ignored.

Regards

And my trivia question for all
reading this - Why is there a brass pin through the slot for 40 degrees flap on the 100? and whats a Gibson manuever?. and finally how many pieces of wood are there on a B727-100?

Leif

It's either:

a) using the nose of a B727-100 to gently nudge a person in the stomach, to dislodge a foreign object upon which they are choking :o , or
b) the recovery after an unintended diving roll brought on (partially) to an instability when on of the leading edge segments was deployed in cruise.

Nicely done Chris - You must have seen the NATCO training film as well - Their biggest mistake was erasing the the FDR and the CVR after they landed


Gibson Manuever - Named for Capt Hoot Gibson (not the NASA one) of TWA


One down two to go

Thought I'd add one more trivia question - Does anyone know the significance of G-BFGN????

Seriously, if you won't believe it from me here or there or when I'm talking to Ben directly, I'm tempted to not allow y'all to use it just because I'm getting sick of answering the same question.

[Ben Hartmann]

Sorted?

And my trivia question for all reading this - Why is there a brass pin through the slot for 40 degrees flap on the 100?

In all honesty, it's just an airline operations thing. There's no real need for 40-flaps, so on most planes it's locked out, even on the -200s. However, the pin (or bolt) can be removed for short runway operations where the extra lift is needed. It's really nothing to do with any bad habits by the airplane, more lazy pilots who tend to be a bit "firm" when landing with 40-flaps.

...and finally how many pieces of wood are there on a B727-100?

There are a minimum of 6 pieces of wood in all 727s.

1 in each wing fence (also wood cored) = 2
1 for the Flight Engineer's Tabletop = 3
1 for the nose gear hatch in the cockpit = 4
1 for each main gear inspection hatch in the cabin = 6

Some aircraft have wood sub-floored lavs, and some use a pressboard floor for the underfloor cargo area, however most use fiberglass in both locations.

Thankyou Erik, crystal clear. Yes Ben, sorted ta.
