Interesting that 'industry sources' have concerns over the mounting of the radars in the nose. I seem to remember a certain Chieftain down in Wollongong that had FLIR in the nose... as well as everything else it carried, it meant that when a liferaft got chucked out the back, the loadmaster couldn't leave the rear bulkhead or the aeroplane would go dangerously out of trim. A similar case of the aircraft not quite being fit for purpose?

Amazing how AMSA (well Papersly) can stuff this up and National Jet introduce a brand new radar and avionics onto there Dash 8's. Good ol Johny stuff up really.

Maybe the advisors got it all wrong Brenden.
After all, Governments generally only act on the advice given to them by the so called experts. |

As I was once one of the Senior Dropmaster's for the company that you are referring to, I can assure you that no such thing ever happened. The aircraft was always in trim during all phases of any drop operations. |
