Thanks everyone for a remarkably erudite thread. None of the hyperbole and aggression sometimes found on here.
Could someone with greater mathematical skills and RJ experience than I please tell me how close the actual endurance of the flight was compared to the 4h 22min on the flight plan?
In still air what is the absolute endurance of an RJ 85 (in theory).
Could some of the hangers on/ acolytes have been off loaded to lift more fuel or were the tanks at limits ?
Thanks for your time and trouble
Be lucky
David
