BAC-111 engines overheat

TTL On, Click the TSI gauges to get correct setting for conditions and take-off power will be 100% ON THE TSI GAUGE.

If you choose not to use TTL, then same but keep an eye on the EGT's

I know this is a bit but im thinking of flying DMs 111 from Edinbruge to Toulouse. Would the aircraft be able to make it.

As far as endurance goes,I flew as a passenger from East Mids(EGNX) to Ibiza in 1980 and am still here to tell the tale.The distance must be something similar! EricT

Tom..

As loaded (default) the 500 comes with 7257kg of payload and around 11119.00kg of fuel give or take. With high level routing, I reckon on 790.7nm and my figures are showing 6119.5kg required.. roughly speaking. This means that straight out of the box.. a 500 will get you there with more than a reasonable amount of fuel left to go sightseeing

In the 1960s the Laker 1-11s regularly did Gatick - Tenerife non stop , only requiring an intermediate stop if either the winds were strange or it was very hot at Tenerife

This was on the books at BIA for the 400s only, restricted to 60 pax. Favoured bolthole was Faro and indeed the only time I recall it operating it did go into FAO.

Just done the flight thanks guys turns out when id burnt about 50% of fuel it started to burn less of it.

In theory the fuel comsumpsion should decrease as the fuel used reduced the weight.

A good reason for never carrying more than you need plus reserves etc.
