B731 no profit

Post by edwinb77 » Thu Sep 15, 2011 7:47 am

Hi,

I started flying the B731 which is a very nice small aircraft.

However, if i want to do a short flight say between ELLX and EDDW (1hr flight) I can't make any profit on it due to overload...

I start off from ELLX with around 17500lbs of fuel for the flight and on landing i have around 8700lbs when finishing the flight. I had to dump all my cargo and 40 passengers to get below overload.

Anyone else having the same issue when flying this lovely bird?

You are buying much more fuel than you need. Buying an appropriate amount of fuel and using a realistic model will yield a return.
