| 04/12/2023 | Major Equipment Program Updates | Daniel Duhon | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hello everyone,There are several important updates in this article so bear with me! Following a discussion between Senior Staff members, and the Chief Pilots, I have some exciting new updates to share with you regarding equipment programs. In order to follow current real-world trends and simplify our Equipment Programs, we are updating several programs and reorganizing management of them. First off, I would like to announce the retirement of the A380 and updates to the Historical Program. Following the real world retirement of the A380 from the Air France Fleet, we have decided it is time to move the A380 to the Historical Fleet at AFVA. With this move, instead of adding it to the already long list of ratings in the DC-3 Program, we decided to also change up how the Historical Program is structured. Effective immediately, the Historical program is now split into a Historical Props rating and a separate Historical Jets rating under the new A380 Program. These programs will be organized as follows: The Historical Props Program will have the following Primary Aircraft: DC-3, DC-4, DC-6, DC-6A, DC-6B, DC-7, DC-7C As well as the following secondary ratings: B1900, B377, BAE ATP, Br 763, CV-340, CV-440, Constellation, D.338, DC-2, DO-228, EMB-120, F100, F27, F28, F50, HS-748, JS41, L-10, L-100, L-188 Electra, MB.220, S-307, S340, SD-360, Super Connie The Historical Props Program will remain a Stage 3 Program and is open to all Stage 2 Captains or higher. The Historical Jets Program will now have the following Primary ratings: A380-800, B707-120, B707-320, Caravelle As well as the following secondary ratings: A300-200, A300-600, A310, Avro RJ-85, B720, B727-100, B727-200, BAE-146, CV-880, CV-990, Comet, DC-10-10, DC-10-30, DC-10-30F, DC-10-40, DC-8-11, DC-8-21, DC-8-33, DC-8-42, DC-8-51, DC-8-61, DC-8-62, DC-8-63, DC-8-63AF, DC-8-71, DC-8-72, DC-9-14, DC-9-32, DC-9-40, DC-9-50, DO-328JET, F100, F70, L-1011-100, L-1011-500, MD-11, MD-11F This program will replace the A380 Program and remain a Stage 5 Program, meaning you must be a Captain in Stage 4 before becoming eligible for these ratings. The next update is an update to the B787-9 Program. In order to maintain consistency between type ratings, we have added the B757 and B767 families to be included in the B787-9 Program. These types are still used by Delta Airlines and Japan Airlines in our schedules. Pilots in the B787 program should have already received these extra ratings along with the update. If you do not have these ratings but believe you should, please submit a Help Desk Issue requesting these ratings and we will get them added to your profile. Thirdly, we have updates for the A330 and A350 Programs. We have decided to merge these two programs into a single Stage 3 program. This program will contain the following Primary Ratings: A330-200, A330-300, A330-900, A350-900 And the following Secondary Ratings: A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, A340-600 This is to follow real life similarities between the aircraft and shared type ratings. Lastly, following the above changes, we will have a few staff changes to accommodate this reorganization. After moving the A380 to the Historical Program, Frederic Honnart will be leading both Historical Programs as the Chief Pilot of these. Leading the new combined A330/A350 Program is Teodor Negru as Chief Pilot. Florian Barea will remian on Staff helping with PIREPs and filling in areas that are needed. Brian Hankey and myself will no longer be required to maintain dual roles in Senior Staff and Chief Pilots so we will be focusing on our roles there. Finally, I would like to reiterate that these changes will not remove ratings from pilots. If you already have the Historical Ratings, for example, you will retain any ratings you already have. If ratings have been added to your program, then you will receive those additional ratings as well. If you have any question, concerns, feedback, or issues, please submit a Help Desk Issue and we will answer all your questions individually! We are excited for these changes and look forward to the future of this great VA!
