File:Let L410UVP-E16 Góraszka 2008 edit2.JPG to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Let L410UVP-E16 Góraszka 2008 edit2.JPG will be appearing as picture of the day on May 6, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-05-06.

Picture of the day

The Let L-410 Turbolet is a twin-engined short-range transport aircraft, manufactured by the Czech aircraft manufacturer LET, mostly used for passenger transport. The L-410 first flew in 1969, and with more than 1100 produced, is the most popular 19-seat plane in history.Photo: Łukasz Golowanow

Performance Section

Hi I was just wondering why the performance figures aren't taken directly from this website: http://www.let.cz/index.php?sec=12&selected=0&other_text=1&ndps=Performance&letadlo_id=6 as it is the official website? or is there something wrong with these figures?

Merger proposal

I proposer this merge because the NG is no more than a variuant of the 410 and does not warrant a stand-alone article--Petebutt (talk) 05:58, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: The new variant is not notable enough to stand on its own - or at least, not for some time yet. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:48, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

main pic

current, a bit too much from below, bland side view, not centered

I proposed those instead:

pointing left, neutral livery, 3/4 view, not too much from below
pointing right, level, nice sky, clean config
the above mentioned colourful POTD, but its aspect ratio is a bit too horizontal

--Marc Lacoste (talk) 22:12, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, the second looks best, the first is air force plane (which is not original purpose of this plane) and the third has distracting colors and is also quite from below. Jirka.h23 (talk) 06:09, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To not merge as sufficiently distinct to warrant separate coverage; independent notability. Klbrain (talk) 10:09, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - BilCat (talk) 07:10, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Similar airframe, minor update of engine rating and avionics: not a major variant but a minor one, does not not deserve a standalone article. I'm not sure the reader benefits from having a second page.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 10:57, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A fairly substantial upgrade in all systems. Deserves a new article or merging L-410 into IT!!--Petebutt (talk) 16:48, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fairly substantial? LCD cockpit like everything else, +6% hp and +6% MTOW: not a very big change. At this rate the 242t A330 should have a standalone article too. Anyway, I would be OK with merging Let 410 into L 410 NG.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 20:08, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. L 410 NG has significant changes. It has extended 'nose' for 2x more storage, new more powerful and quieter engines with different Avia-725 propellers, new wing design, new cockpit by Garmin, it has a double range and can hold 500 kg more cargo.

Max range wrong

Max range (FL140, + reserve 45 min.): 2 570 km 46.135.16.206 (talk) 07:09, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to provide a reliable source. BilCat (talk) 07:26, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The currently presented range is the -UVP variant at max payload (1.8t) and is still correct. The 2 570 km figure is the NG ferry range (zero payload), not very informative of an aircraft real capabilities. Range with all seats occupied is more interesting. I proposed to show the payload-range diagram when available but this doesn't had support.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 07:45, 21 May 2021 (UTC)Two hours in a plane with no lav would be a practical limit either way![reply]

The source quoted (which is by the manufacturer of the aircraft - so should have at least some credence) gives a maximum range of 1500 km (at FL140 and with 45 min reserves) - with a range with maximum payload shown on a graph of about 500 km (as the graph has no scale, I'm not sure so we can say 510 km confidently).Nigel Ish (talk) 07:47, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
