Dresden, 21 December 2001
After the successful performance of the maiden flight of the first converted A300-600 freighter aircraft on December 13, Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW) has obtained the necessary approvals for the A300-600 passenger to freighter conversion program. Both the STC (Supplemental Type Certificate), issued by the US-American FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), and the EMZ (Ergaenzende Musterzulassung), handed out by the German LBA (Luftfahrt-Bundesamt), certify the freighter conversion solution that is incorporated by EFW's Dresden facility. The issue of both approvals took place on schedule.
The A300-600 converted freighter carry up to 49 tons over a range of 2670 nm. The excellent performance capabilities of this converted widebody aircraft, in conjunction with economic efficiency and high interlining potential, ideally covers the demands of mid-size cargo operations as well as matching ranges of medium to long haul services worldwide.
