Featured Pakistani Navy confirms Brazilian jetliner will replace Orion patrol aircraft

[SQ8]

One of the P3 we lost was classified as CFIT due to operator fatigue. It was their 3rd continous sortie during war games.

Engine failure at 100ft

Engine failure at 100ft

How many engines failed?

 

[SQ8]

How many engines failed?

Just the 1 - during a MAD run on a sub. Loss of power at that altitude had little chance of recovery.

 

[Aamir Hussain]

MAD/SAD on P3C is employed at a max height of 1,000 Ft. The optimal height is 300 ft. An engine failure at that height, albeit one out of the four, can have a catastrophic effect.

A must read for those who want to know about the operation of a P3C:
http://www.subguru.com/DW_missions/P3_Operational_Manual.pdf

It is a manual of P3C operations and tactics even though it is a for gaming scenario.

I have skimmed through an actual operations manual(s) and the above makes it simpler and on layman's terms.

Another interesting read is 225 page document but this one is more technical

Given, the number of ASW sorties you have carried out, I will cede to your superior knowledge & experince.

its ok to be wrong jaanu.

Have all 10 aircraft arrived in Pakistan?

And will it go to Brazil to overhaul its engines and airframes before going to Germany for avionics and sensor upgrades?

I am sure with world wide coverage they have certified ships across the globe like airbus and Boeing

Soon to be pac for airbus and Boeing overhauls

Any timeline on this or details on subsystems? I’m guessing it’d be an improved version of Leonardo’s ATR offering.

Saab's Swordfish maritime patrol aircraft was better option in my opinion,
we have to convert 2-3 Brazilian jetliner into swordfish MPA (because SAAB is battle proven platform), which also established ecosystem our arsenal saab2000.

Having two different plateform for same role be expensive and maintenance problem, just trust whatever PN make out of Leonardo should be equally good and in good numbers
