Oh btw, I still need the info. Or, if someone has the manuals they want to sell me, that would work.

You can either purchase an AFM in hard copy. The price is 1266.00 USD, with extra for revision service. Or you can purchase the Flight web with all the Flight Operations Manuals, price is 5950.00 for year.

This is 2010 prices. Call SAAB below if you care

I am doing some research on the Saab 340B and need some hard numbers from the manual. Can anyone help?

500 NM Leg--

1) Fuel Burn
2) Flight Time (No Wind)
3) BFL, Hot & High (5000' 30C MTOW)

Thanks a million!
So funny. If flight planning was this simple.

Call it 2 hours and 2500 pounds burned. No go base your business model on those exact figures.

Do those big name universities ever assign students a "build an airline" Projects? Unless I missed the fact that hes seriously looking to start the next Colgan.

We did one at UND. I'm pretty sure that is what most of these are. Why go find primary source information for yourself when you can just ask someone and take their word for it?:rolleyes:

I think Juice's numbers are way off. 500nm leg?

1) Fuel Burn = 8200 deciliters
2) Flight Time (No Wind) = 39 mins
3) BFL, Hot & High (5000' 30C MTOW) = 10,000 feet, assuming dry pavement and it's not a weekday.

These shoot-from-the-hip numbers are useless, but thanks for the effort. I specifically asked for hard numbers from the manual and offered to compensate for the effort. It seems that it would be logical to conclude that a forum full of starving airline pilots with easy access to this information would be a good place to save some money on this info. However, I obviously failed to account for the arrogance among this group when I reached this conclusion. I will buy a manual. Enjoy your Ramen Noodles.

If I had access to the numbers, I'd hook you up for half the price of that manual. But I don't. Good luck with whatever it is you're doing :)

P.S. Here's a freebie: Don't burn bridges or p!ss people off in this industry, it's a very small world.

Hahaha I remember when I flew the Saab. Weight restricted, always hot, yet five times more fun than the q400 to fly. God I miss it

Sorry dude, just doesn't pass the smell test. If you are looking for serious numbers for a legitimate purpose, this isn't the way to get them (or the way any rational, sane person would get them). But thank you, I DO enjoy Ramen Noodles!

CaptainCarl, well played sir! If I was a hat guy, it would be off to you!:D

The answer to every question you asked is right here under Sector Performance on the Saab leasing website.

Look where it says 500nm leg and read your answers.

Not sure why everyone is giving you a hard time, its not like your asking for top secret stuff here. Anyway, feel free to PM if you need anything else.
