April 20, 200521 yr Hi folks,This weekend I completed a 'mid-range' trip: Denver to Anchorage (2,000nm) which with approx. 70% load, required full fuel.The thing is, I notice Alaska operate Miami to Anchorage (3,500nm) and wondered whether this is possible with PMDG?Using the loadmaster tool I pulled the loads for the mixed class -700 down to 4/71, plus baggage, giving a payload of 24,000lbs.However, this was with no 'minimum landing fuel'.So is there a standard figure for 'minimum landing fuel'?And are trips of this length possible? I read a couple of threads from a year or two ago that made me wonder if not.Cheers,Chris.
