Qantaslink Q400s with ADS-B - Page 4

QOR never got the upgrade, not sure why.

QOF will be out and about later this week with ADS-B.

QOH will swap with QOF in the hangar.

QOE is due out in the next week or two, it'll also have ADS-B.

Expect the Q200/300's to only get ADS-B at the last minute depending on how many are left in the fleet in 2016/2017.

Was in Wagga today, though missed getting a photo of it.

QOE will ferry TMW-BNE today and re-enter service tomorrow with ADS-B.

On a side not it looks like Q300 SBJ has been removed from service.

Robert.M · #35 21st December 2014, 12:40 PM

Possibly getting it serviced ahead of the relocation of the Q300 to ADL?

Max C · #36 21st December 2014, 02:21 PM

Doubt it. Flying doesn't start until March and SBJ has been removed from the flying roster.

The 2 Q300's going to ADL won't have any special treatment before going over. It's not a big deal to ferry to/from CBR when required.

VH-LQG is coming across from PER via ADL-CBR (QF2092) on Saturday/Sunday, at a guess (based on rotation she if flying) she should end up in TMW on Sunday night and (again a guess) should enter heavy maintenance. This should mean QOH is due out to operate the TMW-SYD flight on Monday morning with ADS-B.

The other maintenance slot in TMW currently belongs to VH-TQL!

Max C · #38 15th January 2015, 09:24 PM

QOH has just popped up on FR24 on the ground in TMW with ADS-B fitted.

LQG will ferry PER-ADL on Sat then do RPT runs over the weekend and end up in TMW on Sunday night.
LQK will ferry ADL-PER on Sat then commence ops in WA on Sunday.

Still no plans on ADS-B fitment to the Q200/300's as it'll depend on which units are still in the fleet as the ADS-B deadline nears.

They had two flight plans going by my email alerts.

QOH flew this morning, unsure for how long but took off around 10.15.

For a time flightaware showed LQG to operate tonight's (Friday) QLK8D and QOH to operate tomorrow morning's QLK1D. From what I can see, QOD flew QLK8D tonight and is down for QLK1D in the morning... not sure what's happened there?
