Title: Runway Length and Planes
Post by: justinmmm690 on January 18, 2009, 04:44:11 AM
Hey, I'm based out of LaGuardia and because of the tiny tiny runway, I was wondering about the Runway Lengths and if you could take off an airplane with say 80% full.  I was wondering if there was a calculation for this so I could fly some bigger planes with 90 or 80% capacity.


--Thanks,

Well , back in the day, Eastern Airlines operated A300s from LGA. So it's not a LCY sized runway LOL.

I'm guessing the biggest aircraft you can operate out of here are A300s, 757s, 767s, and maybe some other midsize ac.

Just make sure you don't end up like US Airways 1549 now.

And no, there is now calculation tool due to all of the MTOWs I think.

Pm me if you need help at any time

the system automatically limits the payload in such cases, you will see the warning if it comes near.

You can also make a fuel stop at a nearby airport to pick up more fuel. This way, you need less fuel from LGA, and can take more passengers on board.

So I could buy a plane with a little over the limit and still fly it?

For example, if a plane needs 2500m runway, and there's only 2300m, you can maybe depart with some 80%-90% capacity. But, again, if oyu mak ea fuel stop, you can depart with 100% as long as the fuel stop is near enough.

I would recommend making a fuel stop in either Philly, DC, or any other airports that are 300 and less nm away.
