Or not....QOU obviously isn't quite ready yet, QOJ continued on in service today.

QOU out this morning and in service with ADS-B.

QOU is about to arrive at YSWG shortly. Great to see another ADS-B aircraft.

TQD now has ADS-B fitted

QOV will ferry BNE-TMW today for maintenance.

QOV delayed until this Saturday now.

QOJ will be out of the hangar in the next week, no ADS-B.

VH-QOV has just departed Tamworth as QLK713D with ADS-B fitted, its position in the hanger has been taken up by VH-QOY. The second position in the hanger is currently filled by VH-TQX and I would assume that once she is back out and flying VH-LQH should be next in.

Note: Flightaware suggests QOV is BNE bound, however the track on flight aware shows a track to SYD not BNE and she has turned southbound on climb from TMW.

For those that are keeping track, current Q400s with ADS-B are:
QOD, E, F, H, P, S, T, U, V, W, X and LQQ

QOV ended up in SYD to cover for a U/S aircraft.

TQX was due out of TMW today but that has been cancelled.

That leaves LQH and QOR as the only Q400's without the avionics enhancements to fit ADS-B so either one could go in next.

QOR had an mx check right in the middle of all the others but wasnt fitted, as far as i know the aircraft missing the "advanced nav" are LQH as well as LQL and M all of which are yet yo have thier first heavy checks, LQH is about due.

LQL and LQM have the enhanced nav package fitted, I believe it came fitted from delivery.

The only ones without it are QOR and LQH.

Another Q400 will ferry BNE-TMW on Sunday, the Q400 that was supposed to ferry to BNE today will now arrive tomorrow afternoon.

As always, subject to change.

Next topic will be when do they start to repaint the Q400's given QOA-QOF are looking quite tired these days.

Ah...weird that QOR is the only one to go through the maintenance and not get the enhamced NAV!

As for the repaints....I hope soon....as well as QOI...not only do the stickers on that look horrendous but the actual paint is looking very worn as well.

LQH it is heading to TMW today.

LQH due back to BNE tonight, it does not have ADS-B fitted.

TQE will head to TMW tonight.

There is a plan to install ADS-B in the 300's prior to 2017 but the timings aren't known.

QOY should exit the hangar shortly with ADS-B.

SBB is the next Q300 due into maintenance (03 Jan)

Not sure on the ADS-B timeframe but we should have a better idea after TQE exits.

TQZ (Q300) will exit maintenance shortly with ADS-B fitted.

Came back into service today as QF2007 TMW-SYD, unsure if it was planned like that or not as VH-TQH operated QF2006 and that itself only exited the TMW hanger on the 23rd.

Im assuming QOA should be due for another check in the coming months, as should LQL and M?

TQH now has ADS-B fitted.

SBV enters maintenance in TMW today.

Maybe the thread can be re-named "QantasLink Dash 8's with ADS-B"

Does anyone have a list of all QF Dash8's with ADSB fitted (Dh8-200/300/400) at all please?

Just thought I'd ask.

Regards.

DH8C
TQH, TQZ

DH8D
QOD, QOE, QOF, QOH, QOP, QOS, QOT, QOU, QOV, QOW, QOX, QOY, LQQ.

No replacement as yet.

SBW will reposition to Tamworth tomorrow, assume just for the ADS-B fitting.

Could be wrong but I think it's just TQE and Y to go for ADS-B once SBW has it fitted?

SBT as well.

SBB now fitted with ADS-B, no eta on it's return to service though.

SBB to operate QF2007 tomorrow with SBT heading up as QF2006
