Comet 4B data edited at FlyNET

Post by **RAF_Quantum** » 02 Aug 2007, 02:31

Hi Guys,

I've amended the data at FlyNET concerning the Comet 4B. The seating capacity has been reduced to 71 which was a typical 3 class seating arrangement for the aircraft. What this means is that when the pax and baggage weight is taken into consideration there is still room for @3500kgs of cargo. The revenue for this amount of cargo is greater than the passenger revenue lost by reducing the seating capacity. This will help to reduce losses on Comet 4B operations and hopefully may even turn in a small profit. The database has already been amended so these changes are effective immediately. The DOW and MZFW have been altered slightly to reflect current available data .

Well I just did the next leg on my Comet tour & made a shed load of cash!! :shock:
Really didn't expect to because I'd tanked it up to the max because the fuel was much more pricey at the destination.
Took an extra 8000kg than the expected burn.

I did accidentally take a Comet 4, not a 4B (force of habit), but it shouldn't have made a lot of difference.

35000ft cruise 0.74M.

Good work there John.
