Dornier 328J and Jetstream 31 info

[whatfuelpolicy]

I am trying to find some info on the Dornier 328J and the Jetstream 31.

Does anyone have any old manuals or anything that can help?

My company is looking into buying a J31 and a D328J and we can't find any information that is any help.

Thanks.

PM me if you have any of this.

Just dont do it!

Friends dont let friends fly in a J31! There is a reason that thing is tapered at both ends!

J32 - MTOW 16204, MLW 15609, Max Fuel 3200lbs (I think), Tough to find an alternate in range for medium haul flights if destination area is crappy.
Keep the rudder trimmed so ball is slightly off center, then keep your foot rested on that rudder pedal - makes a "poor-mans" yaw damper.

D328 - Great plane as long as the boots dont rip, and the engines don't get over-temp'd. AWESOME climb performance!!!

I'd have to go digging to find exact numbers for the J31 but basically it was a very slow and if even close to full a very short range airplane. Put it this way 10 pax at 11000 ft in the arrival area, max power and we were getting about 190kts indicated.

Seems like I remember TAS was about 230kts too

If you are hell bent on a Jetstream.. spring for the 32 more power and a 250kt redline (downhill)

I am looking for any old AFM's or POH's for the 328 Jet. We are looking to buy one and are wanting to look at some preliminary numbers.

Did you check Ebay?

Make sure it comes with a bunch of engine spares, a couple HX fans, and perhaps a few replacement 1VE panels. Any ACA pilot that flew it knows what I mean.

Long live the 1VE panel!!!!!!!

Talking to some SkyWay guys once not too long ago, it seems as if they were finally able to get a FADEC software update that made it possible to more than 300 hrs out of an engine.

I still miss flying that plane though.

As far as the guy trying to get his hands on some manuals, did you try contacting Avcraft in MYR? They took over factoring servicing of the 328's with Dornier's insolvency issues.
