You're right Ruud. After take-off of the first A-Jet we got the message that Conningsby couldn't accept them. The instructor in the second A-Jet wanted to take his chances anyway, but both were eventually diverted to EGYM Marham

The third A-Jet had some problems and went back to LFOT Tours for an aircraft change.

I was too busy with the Marchetti's to text message you again :wink:

Nice log. Didn't know we had a visit :wink:

SF260M/D should be the other way around:

Everything below ST-40 is SF260M or SF260M+
ST-40 and above are SF260D

Hope this helps

right
ST-01 - ST-36 SF.260M
ST-40 - ST-48 SF.260D

Question: what makes a SF.260M into a SF.260M+
I know when the wings run out of life time hours, they get changed by E model wings.
But what are the other modifications, do you know ?

ciao,
Hendrik

All mike's are getting an avionics upgrade and a new dashboard. Upgrade includes a new radio communication set combined with the Garmin GNC 300XL GPS, and a new engine data management system.

From the outside, you can recognise a "mike plus" by the white GPS receiver on the nose just in front of the canopy, and a new probe for the OAT (right-hand side, just before the canopy). Also, the upgraded marchetti's get a little "+" behind their number on the rudder.

luchtmachterkse,

thanks for the update on the Mike+.
I did find some other information on the web elsewhere.
Looks like these Belgian SF.260s are good to go for another 10-20 years after these modifcations.

Hendrik

like the F-16AM/BM.

Or SF.260MLU
