TUL mechs

[La Li Lu Le Lo]

TULE takes 3 to 5 (depending on aircraft type) if no issues are found. At least that is how it was when I was there.

I understood AA was planning on doing that with the NB LCs starting with the little Bus. Going to a Phase C where the full LC package is broken in to sections that can be done in a 12 hour overnight. This would cause a shift in HC to the Line from the Base in my opinion.

How long does it take to do a "light c"? I'm asking this because in the mid 80's, we used to do what FedEx called a light C on their DC-10 freighters at LAX. It took roughly 3 days.

3 days approximately, but that is working three shifts and doing things like gear changes and things like flight control rigs.  Inspectors take about a whole shift to do the initial inspection and that is with quite a few of them on the aircraft at once.  To think about setting it up to do a few cards a night is laughable.  I am hoping this is a complete failure.  Actually I am pretty confident it will be.  The stupidest idea management has had in a long time.

It my experience it's more like 5-7 days any more. 3 day lights area thing of the past

How many different mods are done in Hong Kong now? I know of interior mod and cockpit upgrade mod on 777, not done at the same time I might add.

The 777-200 is being reconfig'd to two-class and a full cabin retro. By the end of 2015 they will be in a high density config 37J/252Y

I should have been more clear, I know about that. 
 
bigjets said cockpit mods though and I am curious what AA is doing to the 777 cockpits.....?

I was figuring it would have something to do with the 77Ws.
