I have VH-QOH on ADSB doing YSSY-YSTW at 08:30 and YTWH-YSSY at 09:53 24/01/2015.

I also picked up one flight at 13:12 yesterday 23/01/2015, which was probable the positioning flight to YSSY.

The last previous contact was 04/12/2014 with MODE-S only.

QOH did a test flight on 23/1 Ex TMW as QF6713, it then ferried to SYD as QF6715.

LQG will ferry to TMW on 24/1 as QF6711.

I think the movements of the QLink fleet has been stuffed around with VH-SBB being out of service for the last few days. Which is why we have been seeing last minute changes.

Thanks, Grahame & Max.

Hadn't considered that, Robert, but agree it's a possibility. I had thought that LQG might've gone tech after its SYD-CBR-SYD run on Friday arvo.

Grahame Hutchison 25th January 2015 08:14 AM

Following the morning flights on the 24/01/2015, VH-QOH did :-
  • YSSY-YSCB 11:34
  • YSCB-YSSY 13:17
  • YSSY-YSCB 14:36
  • YSCB-YBBN 16:39

LQD and LQJ will cross paths in ADL to/from PER on 7/2.

Rowan McKeever 5th February 2015 08:27 AM

Does that suggest LQG will come back from TMW soon? How many aircraft can they have in the hangar simultaneously up there?

Max C 5th February 2015 08:59 AM

2 Lines of maintenance at any one time up there. Plus 1 line in SYD.

SBJ has just come back online after 2 months in SYD.

If LQG returns soon then it probably won't have ADS-B fitted. QOR was in/out of TMW in 2 weeks and it didn't have ADS-B fitted.

Rowan McKeever 5th February 2015 09:19 AM

Thanks, Max! Is 2 weeks long enough for what must be fairly deep maintenance (given LQG was flown all the way from PER)?

Max C 5th February 2015 10:59 AM

Depending on which check they are going in for it could be either approximately 2 weeks or anything up to 4-5 weeks.

Q300 SCE is currently in TMW as well.
