Captain David Henry, director of flight operations, invites you to join him and First Officer Norman Port on a memorable flight on-board this Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
Our journey begins at London Gatwick airport and takes us to Orlando in the United States of America. En-route David and Norman will show you some of the systems on this Extended Range aircraft.
During our Atlantic crossing you will also learn about the North Atlantic Track in great detail. We also discuss, in depth, the topic of ETOPS (Extended Twin Range Operations) and the implications of flying a twin engine aircraft over the Atlantic.
You will also see and hear the full briefing for the take-off from London Gatwick along with details of the procedures needed in the event of an emergency. The descent and arrival into Orlando International Airport are also discussed in detail.
Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System A relatively new system on the aircraft, TCAS (Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System) is described to you. This system can detect and monitor other civil aircraft in its flight path and is now mandatory in the USA. This programme was filmed using 4 cameras to give you an unparalleled view of both take-off and landing. We also show you the aircraft being loaded with cargo and baggage along with the fuel required for this transatlantic flight. This is a truly educational programme for all to enjoy.
Leisure International Airways Leisure International Airways was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Air UK Leisure, especially to manage and operate the two Boeing 767-300ERs which are leased by Unijet from ILFC. "We decided to adopt a separate identity for the 767 operation so as to differentiate between that and Air UK Leisure's European area charter activity with its Boeing 737 fleet", said Jeremy Dixon, managing director. Leisure began 767 transatlantic services with two 326-passenger long range-300ER versions on 1st May 1993. During the first six months of operation, Leisure set an industry record for Boeing 767 utilisation. The figure of 17.7 hours per day, compares with an industry average of 10.3 hours according to 767 maker Boeing. In the words of Chris Parker, chairman of both Unijet and Leisure, "the 767 provides excellent passenger comfort and has a range capability unequalled in this category of aircraft."
