1. Name of the unique US legacy airline that never has applied to Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

 

2. List all the variants of Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7R4 and its applications. Clue : There're 7 -7R4 variants.

 

3. What was the first widebody aircraft to be restricted to ETOPS regulations?

Note : There were some aircraft of this type that required a flight engineer.

According to Wikipedia:

- Airbus A340-600 : 75.30 meters

- Boeing 777-300 : 73.90 meters

 

But the largest is the new 747 (747-8) : 76.25 meters

 

:tup:

 

1. That's right.

 

3. A flight engineer isn't required on any 777 aircraft. Wrong answer.

 

Clue : The first ETOPS restriction was 60 minutes.

 

Airbus A300B4 if I recall correctly......:confused:

It's partially correct. Remember also A300B1 (built only 2 aircraft) and A300B2 (it's older than A300B4). The exception in Airbus A300B4 family are A300B4-600, those aircraft don't require a flight engineer.

 

In the Boeing case, 767 is a newer model, but there were 767 with flight engineer panel. Ansett Australia was the only carrier to order some 767 with 3 cabin crew member.

 

Well, I will answer the second trivia, because anyone didn't answer.

- JT9D-7R4E 50000 lbf 767-200, 767-200ER and 767-300

- JT9D-7R4E4 50000 lbf 767-200, 767-200ER and 767-300

- JT9D-7R4E1 50000 lbf Airbus A310-222

- JT9D-7R4G2 54750 lbf Some Boeing 747-200 and Boeing 747-300
