&RCIAL AIRCRAFT • H^il.tteli This year, the two civil-aircraft directories are pub lished in consecutive weeks. Part 1 includes civil airliners/utility aircraft seating 10-12 passengers up to 100 passengers, or with equivalent cargo capacity (including members of families which seat slightly more than 100, ie, Avro RJ100/RJ115). Part 2 will include aircraft seating over 100. Powerplant Number of engines and nominal sea- level ISA (international standard atmosphere) static thrust or power of each (kN or kW), maker and type. Accommodation Maximum seating capacity is for all-economy or inclusive-tour layout. Seat pitch is in millimetres. Cabin width is in metres. FAR field lengths for take-off and landing at gross weight in still air, with a hard dry runway and zero slope, under the conditions of ISA, sea-level; ISA +20°C, sea-level; ISA, 5,000ft elevation. If climb performance is limited at gross weight under any of these conditions, the maximum permitted gross weight is noted. These performance measures in particular are intended only as a guide and must be interpreted with care. They should not be used for operational purposes. Take-off field lengths include the distance required to accelerate the aircraft to fly ing speed, reject the take-off and stop the aircraft within the runway length remaining. Speeds VNQ/MNQ normal operating speed in kt and mach; VMQ/MMQ the maximum permitted operating speed kt and mach; V^£/MNE the never- exceed speed in kt and mach; Cruise performance Maximum operating altitude as well as speed, altitude and fuel consumption are noted under ISA conditions for a maximum-speed cruise and a long-range cruise. Payload range This is under ISA and still-air condi tions with no reserve fuel allowance. Operational equipped empty weight as stated in the weights col umn is assumed. Maximum-payload figures are for cost-economical cruise and full-tanks figures for long-range cruise. CONVERSIONS Except for altitude, which is quoted in feet, (1,000ft = 305m), and speed, which is quoted in knots (lkt = 1.85km/h = 1.15mph), metric measure is used as follows: lkN = 225lb-thrust; lkW=1.34hp (shp); lm = 3.28ft; lm2 = 10.76ft2; lm3 = 35.3ft3; 1kg = 2.21b; lkm/h = 0.54kt; 1 litre = 0.264 US gal = 0.22 Imp gal; 1km = 0.54nm. Some figures are rounded for ease of reading. Sales figures are sourced from manufacturers and Airclaims CASE.

Transport Regional (ATR) consortium (Aerospatiale of France and Alenia of Italy) and BAe's regional-aircraft divisions, which com bines the organisations' sales, marketing and customer support. The venture officially began trading on 1 January, 1996. ATR 42/72 The 48-seat P&WC PW100-powered ATR 42 had its first flight in August 1984, and entered service in December 1985. The ATR 72, a stretched 64- to 74-seat derivative, was first flown in October 1988, and was certificated in Septemberl989. The baseline PW120/121-powered ATR42- 310/-320 was joined by the PW127E-powered ATR 42-500 in 1995. The -500 features six- bladed Hamilton-Standard propellers and offers a higher cruising speed and an improved passenger cabin. Deliveries of the PW121A1- powered ATR 42-400 began in March 1996. After the initial PW124-powered ATR 72-200, ATR introduced the improved ATR 72-210 with more-powerful PW127s, and the latest version, the -210A which features six- bladed propellers, increased weights and a new interior, was certificated in January 1997. AI(R) has also been studying a high-speed version of the ATR 72, dubbed the -500, which would cruise at around 3 50kt. AI(R) says that future improvements for the ATR family include the use of a carbonfibre- composite tail, which will be used on all versions of the ATR 42 and ATR 72. Twelve secondhand ATR 42 s have been sold so far this year.
