Ansett 727-200LR Maximum TOW was 89,358kg compared to the straight 200 being 86,409kg. Both versions had the same landing weight of 72,575kg (flap30) and the same ZFW of 63,503kg. The extra fuel on the LR was 5,400lbs in the forward Aux tank. Beautiful aeroplane to fly and built like a tank. In 'B' mode, max IAS at Sea Level was 350kts and at 25,000ft a max IAS of 370kts. So, easy to descend at 350kts if running late. Wouldn't do much to help these days with everybody in front waffling about at 280kts and 250 below 10.
