This aircraft was the last Boeing 727-100 manufactured, rolling off the
production line in late 1971. The aircraft features the same wing, landing
gear, fuel tanks and pressurization system as the 727-200, as well as the
Autopak trip. It is the lowest timed 727-100 in the world today and has never
seen commercial operation. To meet Stage 3 and stage 4 noise and emission
requirements, the number 1 and 3 engines have been replaced with JT8D-217
engines, each providing 22,000 lb. thrust (the center -9A engine has 14,500 lb.
thrust). Winglets and a flap droop system were added to give the aircraft
superior cruise performance and substantially increased stability at high
altitudes.
The extended fuel capacity of 70,000 lb. gives VP-BIF a potential 4187 nm
range or 8.5 hours of cruise at .82 (most efficient speed) with NBAA/IFR
reserves.
The cockpit instrumentation has been upgraded to a digital Collins 86-C series
E.F.I.S. system with Honeywell Enhanced Ground proximity, modern air data
computers and TCAS-II mod. 7. The flight management system are Universal
UNS-1L’s and a Honeywell Laser INS as a third backup. VP-BIF is fully
RVSM approved.
