LM-100J Commercial Freighter Certified

摘要

THE LOCKHEED Martin LM-100J received its type design update certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in November, clearing the way for the latest commercial freighter version of the C-130 to enter service. The LM-100J is a modernised version of the Lockheed Martin L-100 freighter. More than 100 L-100s were produced between 1964 and 1992 at the then Lockheed-Georgia facility in Marietta, Many of these aircraft remain in service today, but in 2014 the manufacturer announced it would update its existing FAA A1SO type certificate for the L-382J to be marketed as the LM-100J, a civil-certified production variant of the C-130J Super Hercules.
