Description:	1. The Government of Montserrat is keen to attract more visitors to Montserrat and to facilitate better connectivity with intercontinental flights arriving at Antigua. We are therefore seeking an independent assessment comparing the overall viability of aircraft types, to include but not be limited to the following: DHC6 Twin Otter BN2 Islander Cessna 208 Caravan Pilatus PC12 2. For each aircraft type assessed, the assessment should take into account the following factors: The performance characteristics of the aircraft using data from the manufacture and the Flight Manual The load restrictions given the declared distances and physical characterises of John AOsborne airport runway. The resultant operating costs 3. For each aircraft, a typical empty weight would need to be sourced along with average fuel consumption and direct operating costs per hour; all of this should be obtained from the aircraft manufacturers. For a realistic comparison, calculations should factor in 90 minutes of fuel and the required crew. 4. Aircraft performance calculations must be made taking performance data supplied from the aircraft manufacturer in accordance with each aircraft’s performance class to establish compliant maximum take-off and landing weights at average Montserrat temperatures, pressures and wind components at various points throughout the day. 5. The available load should then be calculated by subtracting the aircraft weight with required crew and 90 minutes of fuel from the maximum take-off and landing weights. The available load should then be divided by the ICAO standard passenger with baggage weights to give maximum passenger capacity for take-off and landing of each aircraft type. 6. Using the manufacturers’ mean cost per hour, the approximate cost per passenger should be calculated for each aircraft type for illustrative purposes. 7. The final report should quote the provenance of data used, including that associated with the average temperatures, pressures and wind, the assumptions made and should confirm that all relevant aspects of ICAO SARPs and the OTARs have been complied with when determining the viability of each option. 8. The report should clearly set out any recommendations with outline costings.
