d’oh… the camera’s battery gave up the ghost about the time the AH flight was taxiing out, an hour late… leaving me without a zoom for a close up.

Stage 3 Hushkits provide a 71% reduction in noise on takeoff and 68% on landing compared to an engine with no hushkit.

A State 3 re-engined aircraft shows a 91% reduction on landing and 96% on takeoff.

The article didn’t state what a “re-engined” 727 meant. Also these numbers are for a US Stage 3 727. From what I read the standards for the EU Stage 3 are more restrictive so those decreases in noise could be different.

I think that will be what kills the 727, DC-9 and 737-200’s, not the airframe giving out but polictical pressure for quieter aircraft that will force them to be parked.

Thanks mate 🙂

Hushkit requirements based on noise limits that are dependant on an aircraft’s date of manufacture and it’s weight. I believe compliance for the Stage 3 requirement was at some point in the late 1990’s. Stage 4 requirments are under development now and will be made the standard in the next few years both in the US and EU from what I hear.

Is it necessery that after a certain age some aircrafts get hushkits?

BTW , who knows what the gain in term of noise of an hush kit?

Bhoy : My pleasure 🙂

I recognise that bush… nice airport once again, Hand 😉

Maybe one of those …..

I used to wait on the bus to go home from work about 50 metres away from a 727 starting up on the Cargo Apron, when I was at Jet Aviation. Unfortunately, FedEx replaced their BSL-based 727 with an A310., which isn’t quite as exciting. That 72 was a noisy bugger. (wys might know the bus stop I mean… just along from Swiss (formerly Crossair) HQ at BSL, where he did his Saab training)

In the US they are making a reappearance with the startup airline Pan Am (a guy bought the name, logo and callsign). They are running refurbished 727’s with glass cockpits, hushkits and winglets. I never would have thought to see “new” 727’s coming back in service.

I know it doesn’t answer your question but I thought it was an interesting side note.

Air Algerie have got at least two hushkitted 727-200’s that they still use on flights to Europe from Algeria.
