You will notice for example, a Jet2 737-300 would have a greater payload restriction at LBA than a 777-200.
This is why they had range problems with some longer destinations.

A complicated subject but useful to compare non the less.

Another good example is 767s from MAN, theoretically they should be fine, but when BA operated to LAX they often suffered payload restrictions, wheras the 747s and 777s that operate NS to Asia are generally fine.

Use the attached graph as a comparison between aircraft types.

I personally think the question is impossible to answer to give any creedence. The figures from the manuals are guidelines really anyhow as they refer to the perfect aeroplane on the perfact day driven by the perfect pilot. Of course the last one is easily acheiveable as we are all perfect but the rest of them are far less so.

Beware of trying to consider the above as gospel. As has been mentioned earlier there are so many variables this is a ‘how long’s a piece of string’ question. I have often got an A346 out of runways shorter than 3100m.

Insted of giving balanced field lengths I will give you the ISA sea level take-off and landing distances. All of these distances could increase if the altitude of the airport is greater than sea level (which the majority are to some extent) or the temperature is higher. Similarly though the distances could be less if the aircraft is not to be fully loaded or the configuration is well below those that the standard field lengths are determined from.
Airbus aircraft:
A300B4-200, T/O 2850m, Landing 1625m
A310-300, T/O 2290, Landing 1490m
A319-100, T/O 1950m, Landing 1450m
A321-200, T/O 2180, Landing 1577m
A330-200, T/O 2220m, Landing 1750m
A340-600, 3100m, Landing 2100m

Boeing:
B737-300, T/O 1939m, Landing 1396m
B737-800, T/O 2240, Landing 1660m
B747-200B (I was confused by the 200B(M) designation, I think you mean a 200B Combi, the M designation for Combi’s was only introduced with the 400 series)..
T/O 3190, Landing 2100m (for the combi, or 1890m for the normal 200B, T/O the same)
B747-400, T/O 3033m, Landing 2179m
B757-200, T/O 2347, Landing 1555m
B767-200, T/O 1770, Landing 1478m
B767-200ER, T/O 2600m, Landing 1524m
B767-300, T/O 2545m, Landing 1631m
B767-300ER, T/O 2713m, Landing 1676m
B777-200ER, T/O 3030m, Landing 1630m
B777-200LR, T/O 2898m, Landing 1675m
B777-300ER, T/O 3260m, Landing 1920m

Others:
Embraer RJ135LR, T/O 1650m, Landing 1370m
BAe-146-300, T/O 1585m, Landing 1265m
Avro RJ100, T/O 1535, Landing 1270m
Fokker F50, T/O 890m, Landing 1017m
DC-8-73F, T/O 3048m, Landing 1981m

You’ll probably wonder why some aircraft types listed operate from airports with shorter runways, but its to do with the payload and range, so they may not be flying the full range of the aircraft and so may not be carrying full fuel, and therefore can take-off over a shorter distance. Its all complicated! Were you thinking of any particular airports?

OK, I’m going to make a start now. Your list however includes numerous duplicates, for example, a B747-419 is in essence the same aircraft as B747-436, with the exception that the last two numbers denote the airline customer to whom Boeing originally delivered the aircraft, in these cases the 419 aircraft were delivered new to Air New Zealand (their Boeing customer code is 19) and British Airways (customer code 36). So the question is what is the field length of the B747-400? The configuration of the aircraft, and consequently the fit out of the aircraft and spec level will be different and this will effect the field lengths, of course the major element of this will be engine choice, however unless you have access to the airline’s manuals then you’ll only got the generic details for the aircraft type. Anyway…I’ll make a start….

Funnily enough ,I would guess Boeing and Airbus websites would be your best bet :rolleyes:

I could give you the balanced field length (taken as an AVERAGE only) for most types on your list, but it’ll have to wait until later/tomorrow and I suspect others may answer your question first. As Jethro says though there are A LOT of factors which dictate the field lengths of aircraft.

Several factors come into play with take off and landing performance, and these factors can result in varying required distances for each individual type.

For instance

Payload
Fuel carried
Air temperature
Airfield elevation
Windspeed and direction
Prevailing weather conditions
A/C balance (Centre of gravity)

To give a few…………..
