AN-225?

Thank you for clearing that up.

from what i understand:

the engines that the An-225 has are what is known as ‘Stage 3’, meaning that they have been ‘hushkitted’ to make them quieter (than they would be if they werent modified) (or the aircraft has been ‘re-engined’ with totally new, quieter engines), and thus meeting noise regulations enforced by the EU.

In otherwords, the aircraft shouldnt be any louder than any other aircraft meeting the Stage 3 regulation – and thats most, if not all, commercial aircraft now flying that weigh more than 75000lbs. ‘Stage 2’ engines are older and louder than Stage 3 engines.

therefore, the aircraft shouldnt need to get special permission to fly into the UK.

Its the same with the DC-8’s at MSE they have Stage 3 engines.Bloody EU I hate them have no fun with loud Stage 2 engines 😀

I was told it needs special caa permission to fly through the uk due to noise and or poloution. Is there any way of finding this out?

any ideas when she may be coming back into MAN???

His there any sort of scheduled online for the AN225??

Cheers

The 225, like the 124s are chartered aircraft, meaning that schedules, like passenger service schedules, dont exist.

any ideas when she may be coming back into MAN???

Any idea when she is leaving? I would like to see this big beast this time. I am new to this section on the forum, commercial is not my normal area of interest but this thing is a unique airframe so it is of interest to me.

She is now back in the UK, currently sitting at NEMA. She arrived in the early hours having been delayed at her departure point because she went tech.

A225HVY, thanks for the info.
