C651 KATL-WIII = impossible?!

(1/3) > >>

EHM-1994 Michelle:
I tried the above mentioned flight today, but I guess it's just a bit too long ... The range of the B747-400F is about 7235NM with full fuel tanks. The great circle distance is already 9000NM! Therefore, Flying to Jakarta from Atlanta is really impossible, unless EuroHarmony buys some planes for mid-air refueling ;) The same is probably true for the EuroCargo flights to Melbourne and Sydney. All the other destinations for Cat 7 EuroCargo from KATL are possible. Just those three aren't. Perhaps an idea to use an airport on the West Coast as a secondary hub, to be able to reach those destinations?

EHM-1798 Conrad:
From Atlanta to Jakarta with the 777-200LR is possible, but not in the 747 no.

EHM-1703 Philip:
Thanks guys, will deactivate it from the schedule. Give me a day or two! :)

EHM-1652 Doug:
EHM-C479 ESSA - NZAA   is  another of the same - the solution widely adopted with this flight has been to  make a tech fuel stop en-route, in my case VHHH.

When completing  your pirep be sure to report the total flight time for the two sectors and in the remarks column indicate where (and why) the tech stop took place.  A note to your hub manager would I'm sure be appreciated too! An easy if I may suggest simple work around - rather than lose a good flight from the schedule:o

Best wishes,

ESSA.

EHM-0654 Murray:
Doug,

The one minor flaw is that you can't use the FLogger to do that *and* have it submit the PIREP.

Having said that, you could use it to record the two flights (remember to do a NEW LOG once you're stopped at your refueling aerodrome(s)), then manually submit the PIREP via the website.
