A Question About Aircraft Ranges

Featured Replies

Hello everyone. I am planning to make a flight from Manchester to Halifax with Captain Sim L-1011. I am not sure which variant of the L-1011 that the captain sim l-1011 is. If the captain sim l-1011 is the L-1011-1 variant, this aircraft has a range about 4900km and my planned Route is about 4400km, should i be worried because my route's distance is very close to maximum range of the aircraft? And does anybody know which variant of the L-1011 that the captain sim l-1011 is?

If the range from CS is confirmed (there could be a manual hidden somewhere, I am not sure about CS standards in term of documentation), I guess that you should be fine.

What does the weather at destination like? Do you need an alternate? If yes, how far would be the alternate? Do you expect some marginal weather? Traffic delays? How are the winds aloft (e.g. a transatlantic with strong headwinds?)? Any deviation from the airway expected due to thunderstorms? Any malfunction increasing the fuel consumption (e.g. flying at lower level due to pressurization inop, missing fairings...)?...
