July 15, 201213 yr http://www.rte.ie/te...ineering_Giants For those of you with access to BBC television, mainly UK and the Republic of Ireland residents, I spotted a show on tonight at 8pm IST that might be of interest to yee. Looks like a class D check on a 747, but I can't exactly tell from the short preview. Set in a Cardiff Hangar, so a BA aircraft I'm guessing... Enjoy, Rónán O Cadhain. Rónán O Cadhain.
July 15, 201213 yr It's a full strip down D check of BA's G-CIVX, which is a 747-436. The programme is only an hour long, and of course a D check takes about a month, so it will be fairly condensed, but still probably quite interesting. Al Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
July 15, 201213 yr Author So I was right, good to know. A typical D check takes between 6-8 weeks IIRC. Our EI-LAX was in for one last year and she took 7 weeks, but that was her second D check... Rónán O Cadhain. Rónán O Cadhain.
July 15, 201213 yr Apparently that one was just over a month. Al Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
July 15, 201213 yr Author Yes I just caught the last 10 mins of it. 5 weeks, quite fast for an aircraft the size of a Jumbo.... Ró. Rónán O Cadhain.
September 7, 201213 yr Might be a tad late but here is the full video of it. Enjoy for you that have not seen it. Pretty interesting. Pontus Emanuelsson "You win again gravity!"
September 7, 201213 yr I watched it last night and enjoyed it very much. I suppose for aircraft junkies like us it was about 5 hours too short and not nearly detailed enough, but 'er indoors, who isn't in anyway interested in aircraft, actually quite enjoyed it. So that's got to be good. Either way, its just so much better than all those awful talent show things that have conquered the world. Better stop there. Feel a middle aged rant coming on ;-) Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)
