A fascinating insight into the BAe 146-200 "Whisper Jet" presented by Captain Nicholas Stein and First Officer Kevin Long. You join Nick and Kevin at London Luton for a round trip to Rome Ciampino airport in Italy. We depart from Luton runway 26, on a Compton SID for our journey with Nick as Pilot Flying.

Flightdeck Tour Once in the cruise Nick takes time to give you a detailed tour of the flightdeck and gives you many details about the systems and operational requirements of the 146, including the MWS (Master Warning System) with a demonstration of how the system works. Nick also takes you through the flight control systems and engines. En-route we are treated to a spectacular view of the French Alps. We then make an approach to Rome Ciampino using runway 15

Debonair Debonair presently operates scheduled services from London Luton to Paris, Barcelona, Munich, Dusseldorf Express, Rome, and Madrid with twelve British Aerospace 146 Whisper Jets, allowing passengers a spacious 33" seat pitch, which is one of the greatest amongst any economy airline. In Europe, the airline links Munich and Dusseldorf to Barcelona and Munich to Dusseldorf. In 1998 Debonair launched daily flights from London Gatwick to Barcelona and this year became the official carrier for the jubilee by the Sanctuary of Lourdes, thereby linking Rome to Lourdes on a daily basis with effect from March 1999. Debonair recognises the different levels of service business travellers need.

Six Camera Shoot We then start our descent back to Luton for an approach to runway 26 Hear the Air Traffic Control for our flights and follow the checklists as you discover the 146. This programme was filmed using six cameras and was recorded and edited utilising ITVV's full digital broadcast facilities.
