In response to the request for informed information these are some figures based on routes we currently fly.

YBCG-YMHB
wind component -95kts (headwind)
tempo holding
full flight
distance 950nm

fuel burn 6300kg

and still has payload remaining!

Aircraft doesn't have to many field problems either
we can use alternates like YMNG and YCOM(with an ACN dispo)
for a plane carrying an extra 50 bodies it's a good machine

Figures have been done for YPAD-YPPH and the HGW Aircraft can do it in strong winds and Bad weather without loss of pax.

Weights for the HGW aircraft are

BRW 53524kg
