Why a 3rd FMS?

Why miseur (heavy frog accent), it is because we designed it that way.

You gotta love Marcel.

Why do some long range corporate planes have a 3rd FMS?

One on Nav

One on Prog

One on Tune


All is good.

Sled, gotta love that avatar. That is the reason why NO ONE should date someone they met on the internet.

Lead Sled gets the award for the most visually offensive avatar. Congrats!

The forward lav I can tell you would be a must for me having done 5 1/2 hour legs in the Hawker back and forth to the west coast. The pax always liked to set up an obstacle course for you before falling asleep, then you get hop-scotch over all the briefcases in the aisle. I can't imagine what that would be like on a 10+ hour haul...

the trick is to have single long range nav approval on the op specs.

With 3 FMS's you should not ever get stuck crossing a large body of water. We had one FMS fail on us getting ready to go to HI. You cannot MEL an FMS priror to entering RNP-10 airspace. The flight was canceled needless to say. (At least we could not (135). I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong )

For some folks, it is worth the cost I guess.

Can you do that in MNPS airspace? If so, why?

I guess I would do that ..... IF I WAS CRAZY

Think of it like money. There is no such thing as too much of it when it is yours. With that said, you'll see low rents out there asking 'why 2 FMSs' when buying new planes thinking they are saving the boss a buck. Seen lots of LR45s with just 1, and they were operated by what you would think are 1st class operations. You can pay me now or you can pay me later, but I am gonna get my money!

Only on flightinfo.com could the discussion turn so quickly from FMS to peeing in the sink. Is this a great country...or what ??
