Fleet Planning and Aircraft Selection Process INTRODUCTION In this lesson we will review the Fleet Planning and Aircraft Selection Process. LEARNING OUTCOMES Be able to describe the fleet planning process and discuss the importance of selecting the right aircraft to meet the carrier’s objectives. Fleet Planning One of the most difficult decisions airline managements must make is whether to buy new or used aircraft and what type to purchase. Factors that have an effect on this fleet

Current Strategy Since July 2004‚ Bombardier is working on new family of aircrafts called CSeries‚ which is capable of carrying between 100 and 135 passengers depending on model. The focused market is airlines that owned old generations of aircraft within the same capacity needed to be replaced. The CSeries family will be specifically optimized to operate on regional routes by meeting the capacity of regional

Holland claimed that his signature high-pitch-angle climbs would pop rivets out the aging aluminum skin and by the end of his career he becomes even more reckless‚ he would push the aircraft beyond its limits. A couple of years before this he flew the same way over his daughter’s softball game and made a dangerous 70 degree turn and the co-pilot had to help him or else the plane was going to fall out the air on top of the campus.

Aeronautical Engineering My long-standing fascination with aircrafts began with my favourite toy helicopter. Since then I have made a model plane of a radio controlled spitfire Mk2 and managed to fly it. My fascination has been followed up with literature and resources; further developing my understanding and interests in the architecture of an aircraft. Books such as ’The Aerospace Chronology’ provided some insight into technological advances that have produced safer‚ faster and more agile planes

minutes later while climbing through flight level 230 the crew reported a master warning system indication and requested a return to Miami International. In addition to the warning indication‚ they crew reported a message on the electronic centralized aircraft monitoring system indicating a number one engine turbine exhaust gas temperature (EGT) overheat. As an investigator this is the first clue as to what may be happening within the engine. According to Anderson “EGT is also used to monitor engine

merged with Southeast Airlines to create the fourth largest U.S. carrier in which it inherited both an aging fleet of Boeing 727-300 aircraft and Stephen Ruth. As the new president of the airline‚ Stephen’s first concern is to create a financially solid company since it is a common presumption for airline industries that maintenance costs rise with the age of aircrafts. He noticed that there have been significant differences in the reported B727-300 maintenance costs (from ATA Form 41s) both in the

developed. The developed cost function estimates the unit flight cost for different sizes of aircraft and it is derived from the data covering airline operating cost in the period from 2007 to 2009‚ (Aircraft commerce‚ No.51‚ No.57 and No.64). The total number of different aircraft whose flight unit costs are used for getting the unit cost curve amounts to 27. This set includes different types of aircraft‚ both in terms of seat capacity (50 to 520 seats)‚ and in terms of range (short-‚ mid- and long-distance)
