What’s that supposed to mean? Grow up! 😡 Or do I misunderstand? Sorry then.

Well in 45 minutes you wont experience the Special Performance, which is high & fast flying. In it’s time it was the longest range aircraft.
Still, It would be a nice chance for not too much money. But you only have one third or so to enjoy a window seat.

Many airlines, like DAT Sabena, may have purchased F70/100’s if Fokker weren’t in trouble. If those airlines would have purchased them, Fokker probably survived.
I think the F50 was a good move, so were the pther jets. I wonder why actually Fokker got into trouble. Was interest in their aircraft so low then???
The Dutch government made a terrible mistake. If they would have invested, Fokker would be a strong company now.

The performance is only an estimation. Even the advanced computers can’t calculate that clearly. Therefore the performance might be better or worse than the calculated. This was the case with the 777-300ER, obviously this was the same with the A345.

It, of course depends on the operator, but with normal flag carriers can operate profitable when half of the plane is full. For example, SNBA is loaded for 55% and made a small profit. With ARJ’s not being the most efficient aircraft, this is a whole achievement.
However, SIA offers more service and has higher overall costs, so I’d say 60-70% for this airline.

Aircraft usually have excess cargo space. Therefore, other cargo not belonging to passengers is also taken. This is more with Long Range aircraft. If the airline chooses not to take other cargo, the aircraft can take off with a few tonnes less – reducing fuel consumption.

The second runway is included in FS2004. But when was it opened?

Did some searches, and the mentioned RJ is the VFW 614. It had a range of 1500-2000 km and carried 40-50 passengers. You can compare it with the ERJ145 or CRJ200, which consume half the amount of this jets.
Efficiency is needed to make RJ’s profitable. With the current fuel prices, efficiency became even more important.
Hope this helps.

If pumps fail, the crew is automatically noticed by low fuel pressure on the EICAS. When this occurs on older planes, the engines might fail unless other pumps are activated immediately. Where do you get the idea about Fuel Pumps from? :confused:

Plus, posting links is better because then the views count for that picture. This is correct.
