Does B check improve the % Condition of a plane? And...

[LotusAirways]

1- Does B check improve the % Condition of a plane? And if yes, by how much?

Sorry, I did search the forum but can't find any info on the above.
Neither on the manual or the manual's FAQ.


2- Under Routes-Manage Routes:

Yield, c / RPK: what are the variables?
RPK = Revenue per km?
Revenue, c / ASK: what are the variables?
ASK = Available seat per km?

Same, nothing on the manual/FAQ. I find this https://www.airwaysim.com/forum/index.php/topic,24867.0.html on the forum but seems out of date.
Help appreciated.
Thanks!

1a. yes

1b. some (aka I have no idea if it's an exact amount, nor how much. I've never bothered to work it out.)

2a. Revenue passenger kilometres. If one passenger buys a ticket for a 500km route, that's 500 rpk.

2b. Available seat kilometres. If you fly a 51 seat plane on a 375 km route, that's 375 x 51 = 19,125 ASK. If 35 of those seats are sold, then that's 35 x 375 = 13,125 RPK.

Assuming question 3 is what do ASK/RPK actually tell me?

then...

3. Nothing much. You can safely ignore these numbers entirely. I know I do.

I would contend that my really old answers are still applicable to your questions
