Aircraft Types

Press I in the fleet or the market for the facts about the selected aircraft’s type, as the manufacturer publishes them:

• who builds it, and where
• its wingspan and aerodrome code, the runway it needs, whether it’s certified for steep approaches, and its cruising speed
• the engines, cabins and fuel tanks it can be built with, the range each tank gives, and what each adds to the lease. ► marks the ones the selected aircraft has.
• its maintenance programme: each check, when it’s due, and its downtime, man-hours and cost in your own hangar. See Maintenance.

Manufacturers’ websites

For an independent view of each type, and of the airports and maintenance organisations, see the CATS Industry Report.

Each manufacturer’s website is in the browser’s Bookmarks menu, with its product pages, typical cabins and ranges. From the facts about a type, W opens its manufacturer’s site. These help pages are on the Flight Dispatch 98 site, at the top of the Bookmarks menu; the house button comes back to their contents.
