20 tons and about 3000m

Hard to answer such questions exactly with so little 'parameters': Temperature, Elevation, Distance Dest-Altn, etc. etc.

20 tons of Load seems a bit optimistic to me. You would have to have a VERY light A/C and the increased MZFW-Option at the same time.

Our DOW (with Cargo Loading System, Brake Fans and a lot of other stuff) is about 44.000 kgs and MZFW 61.000 kgs which would give you a max load of about 17 tons.

4 Hours is about 10 tons of Tripfuel plus 2,5 tons Hold and Altn Fuel (optimistic) would be a T/O-Fuel of about 12,5 tons. 61+12,5 = 73,5 which is our MTOW, however optional MTOWs are available up to 77 tons for the A320.

About the TOD let me get back when I find the power cord for my laptop.

Are u aeroplane shopping?

For a Take-Off-Weight of 73,5 tons and ISA-Conditions at SL with NO Obstacles you need about 2.200 Meters TOD.

At 1.000 ft ELEV, 30°C, QNH 1000 and 5 kt TWC it's about 2.900 Meters still without any obstacles.

Cheers,

well... I have some billons... and a farm with a 14000 ft asphalt runway with a CAT III ILS installed and all the app lights... but

I just need a plane to do some touch and go during my sunday evenings...:ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

just kidding

I want to do a report about the difference of A320 and MD90... and you know I am a MD lover.. maybe someday ( in next lfe)I can buil or watch a MD-100 flying (or I should say a 717-500 ??? lol)
