Hi everyone,

I leased a B757-200 with a Nominal range of 3580 NM (range in this configuration - pax+bags, no cargo), i want to assign it to the route of DFW-HNL which is a Distance of 3281 NM, and i get the following message:

This aircraft type may not able to fly this route with full passenger load.

    * Boeing 757-200: Limited to 86 pax by payload/range.

The actual range depends on the unique aircraft you will schedule for this route (as the actual configuration / weight may vary according to the engine and weight selections).


Any clue about this ?

Did you change the seat config?

Also, what's the aircraft ID / reg so I can check

I think its because the aircraft is not yet delivered  :-[

Boeing 757-200
Financing: Leased, used aircraft
Engines: 2x Pratt & Whitney PW2040
Weight: +13.6 tn MTOW

Yes, as you don't even have it at the top of the dropdown menu at the fleet list (at route open page) means that it plans the route for the most restrictive variant.

But it always checks the actual status at scheduling, depending to which plane you assign the route.

Ok, thanks for the fast reply...  ;)
