QF ETOPS

[ruprecht]

Remembering that there's no such thing as a dumb question..........

Can someone answer the following please.

1. What ETOPS time do the QF 762 and 763 employ? Is it 180 min?

2. Do the 733, 734 and 738 have ETOPS approval? I'm assuming that they do in order to cross the Tasman so I'd like to know what time their ETOPS approval is based on.

Thanks in advance.

762 and 763 RR are 120mins @ 430 TAS

763 GE is 180 mins @ 430 TAS

737 300/400 is 120mins @ 385 TAS

737 800 is 120 mins @ 400 TAS

A330 is 90 mins @ 400 TAS

Thanks ftrplt, more information than I could have asked for.

At the risk of sounding like an anorak wearing plane-spotter....

Is the RR powered 763 powered by an RB211 524 series? The QF website only mentions the GE CF6 as the power for the 763.

ruprecht,

Have you given Black Pete a call? He will be able to give you the drum on that other airline. Might be worth the effort. (Not that you would be interested in an airline job at all!!!!).
See how easy those 4 engines make your life...non of this etops crap to worry about. If only you could do something about all those Navs on board!
Give collegeboy a headbutt for me.
