Re: Another polite reminder...
Okey doh
I've transfered 3 stragglers that had been offsta for a long time and no longer have pilots (B-286, G-BNNI and G-ASZF) so the list is shorter by 3 I think the remainder have active pilots though some may have lost ratings to fly them
EDIT: No, I found another 2 (G-AKGI and G-APDD) and these are also on their way back home. All offsta aircraft now have current pilots though as above, ratings may have lapsed for some

Re: Another polite reminder...
Im currently at Gatwick doing some 1-11 200 routes and the only aircraft there is due for maintainance at 69.9%
I noticed G_ASJC is currently afb at newcastle since aug last year,
Is there any objections if I go and get it and bring it back to EGKK?
Cheers chaps
Geoff

Re: Another polite reminder...
Hi Geoff,
If my memory is working correctly, I believe that maintenance will take place if an aircraft's status is between 96% and 96.7%.
G-ASJH is currently sitting at 96.9% which means that you should get at least one reasonable return flight before it drops below 96.7%, and even then could take it closer to 96% if wanted just being careful not to go lower!!
Hope that helps.

Re: Another polite reminder...
Andy is right Geoff.
We have a cutoff point of 96% at which point the system will flag an airframe for maintenance and it is not to be used. The airframe you mention is at 96.9 (not 69.9.. you gave me a heart attack! ) and as such, has a few flights left in it as long as you're not throwing it onto the deck at -500fpm all the time
However.. the closer you get to 96%, the greater the chances are of getting an 'induced failure' from the FSA system. This may take the form of something manageable but it may also be an under carriage failure which you don't walk away from Should you get this happen.. bug out from the flight
I'll take a look at JC
