Chinese Updates
Recently much Chinese register data became available. We just report c/n, registration, operator and the date the most recent CofA was issued (not the registration date). For additional information per aircraft please have a look at the Soviet Transports on-line database at Scramble's website.

Nanchan Y5 (An-2)

We therefore now start with a full rundown of all Y5s as current on the Chinese register per January 31st 2009 (80% of them were previously unknown).

727 Y5s were built by the Nanchang Aircraft Factory (320 Factory) between 1957 and 1968.

Up to 18 batches have been recorded with a maximum of 50 aircraft to each batch. It follows, however, that if only 727 aircraft were built at Nanchang, then some of the batches must contain less than fifty aircraft. The c/n gives the batch number followed by the number 320 which stands for the factory number, last two digits are the number in the batch.

Y5s built by the Shijiazhuang Aircraft Factory since 1970 (221 until 1986). The c/n gives the batch number, followed by the number 164 which might stand for the factory number; the last two digits are the number in the batch.

At batch 4 the Shijiazhuang system changed, with '164' being replaced by '7055'.

After batch 5, from the Shijiazhuang production it appears that a simple, four-digit c/n was introduced using the first two digits as a batch number and the third and fourth digits as the number of the aircraft in the batch.

In the late 1980s, the Shijiazhuang factory started with production of the Y5B model. The first Y5B appeared in May 1989. Construction numbers appear to be in simple batch-number in batch system. Known Y5Bs are as follows

In 2001 the production of the advanced versions Y12-Mk.4 and Y12E commenced. With the additional details known it seems safe to assume these two versions belong to one single c/n series as there are no double c/ns known in these two versions.

The version, where known, is given after the c/n. Several registrations below were previously unknown and many of the given c/ns were previously unknown.

Harbin Z9 & H410 Haitun

Of this Chinese built Dauphin it seems at least over 316 have been built. Apart from (or including ?) these 316 plus probably includes the more advanced version of the Z9, the H410.

AVIC I MA60 & MA600

Of this An-24/26 clone only one new aircraft became known on the Chinese register. It seems the type suffers from all sorts of unknown problems. This is surmised by the fact the c/ns known indicate many aircraft (including 13 for Merpati) have already been built but not yet been delivered.

Armenian Updates

A full list of Soviet hardware as current on the Armenian register per January 1st 2009 has arrived. As such it is safe to conclude the aircraft below are now assumed to have been cancelled from the Armenian register prior to January 1st 2009. Some of those below were already known with a new ID and some are obvious as having been cancelled long ago. However, we give a full list of aircraft previously known as having been Armenian registered as we have in our records. It is surprising that both Armenian registered Il-86s EK-86117 & EK-86118 are still current on the register although both have not flown for several years.
