Dash Cycles
Just wondering approx how many cycles are on the Dash Classics at Jazz. From what I understand is the -100 has a extension to 120,000 cycles from 80,000. Is the -300 the same? Are the jazz classics even getting close to 80,000 yet?
Thanks

Re: Dash Cycles
I've flown 100s with anything from 55,000 cycles to 76,000.

Re: Dash Cycles
I have time on a Convair 580 that had 96,000+ hrs and 156,000 + cycles, and it is still going strong. I doubt you ever see a tin can Dash anywhere close to that.....

But seriously the Convair is built like a tank and it is just about unbustable. They just don't make them like that anymore. The downside is that it is heavier and less efficient than more modern designs......but I sure like a design mentality that says "never use 2 pounds of metal when 3 pounds will fit"

Re: Dash Cycles
Yea so some of the -100's are approaching that 80,000, so I assume Jazz will stretch them out to the 120,000 since there is no talk of replacing them.
The Convair is a tank, but she is sure not a pretty bird IMHO. Great for putting out fires and lugging freight around but I sure as heck would not want to sit on one as a pax.

Re: Dash Cycles
A CV580 burns more than double what a Dash Classic burns. Mind you the 580 is built like a tank. The old Classics are doing just fine. Still no word on whether Jazz is keeping them past 80k cycles or not.

Re: Dash Cycles
There are rumours that they will not be extended but instead replaced buy less but larger airplanes along with a reduced CP cost and CPA extension. Time will tell what all these talks and negotiations will lead to.

Re: Dash Cycles
Is Jazz still operating S/N 3? I heard it was on its way down South or something.
I have complete faith in Jazz's older Classics. The old Liat and other island hopping ones with 70,000+ cycles and only 20,000 hours are the scary ones.
