Question
11.20 Runway Length and Payload Management at FVG. You are the weight chief of Ajax Airlines operating from the FVG airport, which is at 1000-foot elevation. Your main runway is 7800 feet long with an elevation differential of 50 feet. The crosswind runway is 6100 feet long with virtually no elevation differential. Ajax Flight 223 is using Boeing 737-600 aircraft, which allows use of Figure 11.24. The aircraft's MTOW is 157,000 lbs. AX223 is headed for Chicago, which is 1200 miles away A. What is the aircraft's MTOW, based on runway length? B. Does the length of the main runway at FVG restrict the aircraft's MTOW? How many passengers, if any must be removed from (or not be permitted to board) AX223 when taking off from the main runway? C. AX Flight 223 is ready to depart for Chicago, but the main runway is closed for unspecified reasons. The crosswind runway must be used. How many more passengers must be removed (compared to Part B) whern taking off from the crosswind runway?Explanation / Answer
A)from FAR chart MTOW should not exceed 130000 lbs based on runway length of 7800 feet
B) Assume average passenger weight of 180 pounds
MTOW= 157000-130000= 27000/180= 150 passengers
C) from FAR chart MTOW should not exceed 120000 pounds
Hence 10000/180= 55 passengers.
Another 55 passengers to be removed.
