Question re Embraer RJ's

[Midland63]

Could any of the ERJ's operate off a 1,400 metre (4,950 feet) runway fully laden with enough fuel for a 1,100 nm sector? (Assume said runway is at sea level and standard temp. and pressure.)

Indeed, could any regional airliner (jet or prop)?

Thanks for any replies.

Depends which ERJ you mean...? The 145 definately can`t

I believe the ATR42/72 could, but with some payload limitations.

Thanks for replies guys.

PGA - I meant any of the ERJ's. If not the 145, any of the others?

Cyrano - Do you think an ATR could do it with a p/l limitation which wouldn't make an operator deem it totally unprofitable? (i.e. if limited to - say - 25-30 pax - would it be totally unprofitable over 1,100nm sector?)

If you look at my "Location" you may work out where I'm coming from!

Thanks for your feedback - any more welcomed.

My Big Book Of Airfield Codes has a big gap where LPFL should be but I may be able to help. Do have any obstacles to provide a challenge or is it nice and clear? PM me and let's see.

Bom dia Midland63 (assuming my ICAO lookup is correct)!

Page 5 of this ATR-72 brochure has a payload-range chart and some information about field requirements which may help. IMHO it doesn't look as though the field length is too limiting for your application.

Hope that helps! (It'd be a long sector time in an ATR, though - if you're evaluating props, have you considered a Q400?)

Muito obrigado, Cyrano, tens razao!

Yes, I believe SATA Air Acores are looking at the Q400 to replace their BAe ATP's.
