-The only places we've been to is a team building event. Other than that, nothing unless you count the various trips around LBA which is nothing interesting.

Luke, can't you post with less slang and more punctuation please? I'm sick of reading messages like this, it's okay for MSN and all the other chat programs, but not for an aviation forum. :)

-i know that the two types require (and have) ETOPS-180 certification to allow them to do transatlantic flights (and that a specific operator needs to gain ETOPS certification), but what other certification would be required by an airline to operate long range flights from Europe to the US for example?
thanks

-The 767 is particularly popular due to it having cross qualification with the 757 meaning that with one set of crews the airline can crew both long and short haul flights. A lot more efficient than employing crew qualified solely for the one type and adds flexibility too.
Initial certification is done when an operator decides they want to operate the aircraft. For a long time the NZCAA didn't recognise the 757. Particular configurations may not be certified with the general type for example a 767 with only a speed tape and standby ASI (no conventional ASI) is not automatically certified by the CAA until flight crew training requirements are shown to prove the crews are trained to cope with the difference.

Very true but the same can be said for the A330 with the A320 family as used by several UK charter carriers.

-I didn't think they had cross crew qualification. I understood the CAA stopped it as the aircraft were too different in handling and size.

hi all,
Ive got a bit of coursework in which i need to examine certification requirements (the certification that allows the airline to fly certain routes) and maintenance principals of two aircraft types, based around a charter airline.
The Boeing 767 and A330 tend to be fairly popular with charter airlines. Put simply, why?
any help would be great!
thanks
