Was it taking punters or a proving flight?Nafenn wrote:FNP is finally opperational. Flew the Perth - Karratha - Perth flight this morning.
As i was informed that it was to do them before going into service
and that it would operate the KFE/YFDF Cloud Break/Fortasceue Dave Forrest flights, which Virgin have been helping out on a bit.

Re: Skywest gets an A320!
FNP is on its way back from KFE/YFDF Cloud break due at 18:45 its using OZW321, however Perth airport is not displaying any passenger/charter flights from Cloud break at this time, so i would assume its a proving flight, I have sent a text to some one that works at XR and will confirm when it enters RPT/Charter service.
Further information regarding Skywest flight numbers
All F100 RPT flights operate XR0xx
All F50 RPT flights operate XR1xx
All Charter flights Operate XR2xx
All A320 flights will operate XR3xx

There were pax onboard, but i was working on virgin at the time up around bay 16
And i think (this is just from what i have observed like yesterday ) that XR12XX is a second aircraft in a charter. Ie: we had 2 to cloudbreak: 243 and 1243 - leaving 30 mins appartAO11912 wrote:FNP is on its way back from KFE/YFDF Cloud break due at 18:45 its using OZW321, however Perth airport is not displaying any passenger/charter flights from Cloud break at this time, so i would assume its a proving flight, I have sent a text to some one that works at XR and will confirm when it enters RPT/Charter service.

Re: Skywest gets an A320!
It's been in use for 2 days, and is already having problems
The APU is faulty apparently - had to be hooked up to a GPU to get it going this morning.
(side note: apparently it was the 11th airbus A320 off the production line)

First flight was in 1993
According to my flight attendant friend it was to try get its AOC by Friday, then start double KFE on Monday, its still only doing proving flights, they did CASA Evacuation training on Thursday morning.
