Embraer

** FIRST VISIT TO PERTH **

Arrived from Singapore-Seletar at 13:29 after a flight of just over 5 hours, using its registration as the callsign.

Hawker Pacific Asia, based at Seletar, is the first Embraer Authorised Service Centre in Asia Pacific certified for the full range of Embraer Executive Jets.

Departed to Avalon at 14:39, to be displayed at the 2013 Avalon Air Show.

This is Embraer’s demonstrator aircraft for the corporate jet version of the Embraer 190 airliner, which is marketed as the Lineage 1000. Besides the luxurious interior which seats up to 19 passengers (instead of the E190’s 114 passengers), the Lineage 1000 differs to the airline version in having extra fuel tanks in the lower deck cargo hold which nearly double the range of the aircraft to 4,400 nm (8,149 km).

PT-TOE has been displayed at a number of air shows and conventions, including:

  • LABACE 2012 at Sao Paulo, Brazil in August 2012
  • NBAA at Orlando, Florida in October 2012
  • Aero India 2013 at Bangalore, India in early February 2013
  • Avalon Airshow 2013 at Avalon, Victoria, Australia in late February 2013.

N42MY has spent much of its time parked at Jandakot since arriving in WA in April 2012, apart from being in the static display at RAAF Pearce Air Show on 19-20 May 2012.

The aircraft is now reportedly to be operated by a newly formed company called Catalina Airlines. N42MY flew to Geraldton on 6 February 2013, to test whether a proposed service from Perth to the Abrolhos Islands would gain local support.

N42MY was built in 1961 as the last of 418 Grumman Albatross aircraft produced.

This is a replacement for JetRanger VH-ZMN, which was painted in full Channel Ten colours, and also leased from Heliwest. VH-ZMN was written off when it crashed at Baskerville, in the hills east of Perth on 19 January 2013, whilst filming a news story about a truck crash.
