RE: Buffalo Air DC3 Crash Lands At Yellowknife

affirm, a fully loaded DC-3 with an engine failure will not climb. If you want a decent climb rate n-1 you need to limit the payload to about 12 passengers and restrict your fuel load to around 1/3. In the days the DC-3 was designed an N-1 climb rate was not a certification requirement. And there we...

RE: Airlines Reinstating First Class (KLM,...? )

KLM might not offer all aisle access; you have to compare the size of the seat.

I.E. JAL offers all aisle seats; but the seat is 180cm and a bit.
KLM offers a 220cm bed. Hence no place for an aisle to the enclosed seat.

RE: Runway Numbering Can It Be Changed

Hi JumboJim747. This is all ready in use at some airports.
i.e. 4 parallel runways will be numbered 25L 25R 26L 26R. But it still doesn't change the fact that mistakes are made the rundays remain in the same direction, only the name has changed.

RE: Boeing 787; No Customer Codes

If Boeing doesn't put a customer code on the aircraft papers it makes it the same as an other 787-8 thus making it easier to certify and register.

Besides, I don't think Boeing allows so many options as a switch in a different direction as before.

RE: Longest E190 Route?

I think there is an EMB190 available with a MTOW of something like 50.000-51000kg.

reasonable empty weight of 28000-29000kg + 100 pax&bags for an ZFW around 38000-39000 = 11000kg of fuel
burn around 1750kg/hr gives you 6:30 endurance.

based on 50.000-39000/1750.
