CATEGORY-3 AIRCRAFT
Authorized for 'Senior First
Officer' rank and above
- Ilyushin IL-76 Candid: This ex
Uzbekistan strategic freighter is operating Mil-Air missions in Eastern Europe, Russia and
Middle East. It can carry up to 140 troops or 40 tonne payload over a distance of 2700nm
or 20t for 3940nm. Il-78 'Midas' is capable of air-to-air refuelling. [ENGINES: Four
26455lb Aviadvigatel (Soloviev) turbofans, RANGE: 3940nm, SPEED: 460kt max.]
- Lockheed L1011-500 K1: Mil-Air
purchased this ex RAF aircraft for its long distance Tanker/Cargo/Pax missions. Multiple
capabilities of K1 are very useful for our uncommon mission requests. As per the
agreement, Mil-Air is operating K1 with RAF registration and colours. [ENGINES: Three
50000lb RR turbofans, RANGE: 6100nm, SPEED: 518kt max.]
- Boeing 777-300: This is the
stretched version of the 777-200, which is aimed at replacing the older 747-200s. 777-300
is currently the world's longest airliner at 242 feet 4 inches seating up to 550
passengers. Due to the heavy demand for long distance missions, Mil-Air purchased this
aircraft directly from Boeing. To avoid unwanted attention in isolated airports aircraft's
factory colour scheme was not changed. [ENGINES: Two 90000lb P&W turbofans,
RANGE: 5720nm, SPEED: 482kt max.]
- Northrop Grumman E-8: The Joint
Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) is an airborne platform equipped
with a long-range, air-to-ground surveillance system designed to locate, classify and
track ground targets in all weather conditions. [ENGINES: Four 18000lb Pratt & Whitney
turbofans, ENDURANCE: 11hr, SPEED: 545kt]
- Airbus A330-200: The A330 made its
first fight on November 1992, a year after the A340. For the passengers it offers a
comfortable, very quiet, cabin. For Mil-Air, A330 offers a better payload carrying
capability, better range and take-off performance, and very low operation costs. To avoid
unwanted attention in isolated airports aircraft's factory colour scheme was not changed.
[ENGINES: Two 67500lb GE turbofans, RANGE: at MTOW 4800nm, SPEED: 475kt max.] Note: The
A330 file given here is for FS2000.
- Boeing 767-400ER: This is the
stretched 'Extended Range' version of the 767-300ER, which has 21' fuselage stretch and 7'
8" long raked wingtips. Cockpit has 777 style six multifunction displays. Exclusively
used for long distance troop movements 767's all new interior is similar to 777. To avoid
unwanted attention in isolated airports aircraft's factory colour scheme was not changed.
[ENGINES: Two 63300lb P&W turbofans, RANGE: 5580nm, SPEED: 486kt max.]

with one flight. Mil-Air is contracted to fly this aircraft for long range domestic and
international flights. It can carry 350 troops or 130 tonne payload over a distance of
2982nm. [ENGINES: Four 43000lb GE turbofans, RANGE: Max fuel-5618nm, SPEED: 496kt max.]
- Airbus A300-600ST Beluga: This
mammoth Super Transporter is used to carry oversize high volume cargo all over the world.

landing gear and cockpit. Its internal volume is massive 49442cu/ft, but max payload is
limited to 103615lb. To avoid unwanted attention in isolated airports aircraft's factory
colour scheme was not changed. [ENGINES: Two 59000lb GE turbofans, RANGE: with 66150lb
