Qantaslink Q400s with ADS-B

[Zac M]

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

[Max C]

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

[Robert.M]

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

[Max C]

TQD now has ADS-B fitted

[Max C]

QOV will ferry BNE-TMW today for maintenance.

[Max C]

QOV delayed until this Saturday now.

[Max C]

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

[Zac M]

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

[Max C]

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.

[Zac M]

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.
