Q400 performance figs
It's been many years since I have had access to aircraft performance data and since this is a new model I have this question.
Have any of your got access to any software to tell me whether a Q400 at full pax can make it KGC/SYD (Australia) (681nm) off a 1400m runway at ISA +10, zero winds, elev 0, and if not, what length is required?..much appreciated..

Re: Q400 performance figs
forgot to add following info:
payload pax/bgge of about 7,000kgs
payload pax/bgge of about 7,000kgs
Re: Q400 performance figs
1400M is similar to CYTZ (Toronto Island), also near sea-level, and the "7000kg" sounds about right. The last couple of times as a passenger it looked like it used around 2/3 of that runway (likely not full fuel though).

Re: Q400 performance figs
You're not planning to make a plane disappear to a small South Pacific tropical island somewhere are you?
Re: Q400 performance figs
No..will leave that to the professional B777 drivers...
Re: Q400 performance figs
I don't have the software, but yes. That would be, very roughly, a 2:20 hour flight or so, assuming no wind, in the Q400. 1400 meters is 500 feet more than the CYTZ, so you'd be able to do a max weight takeoff or close to it.
No problem.

Re: Q400 performance figs
your T/O weight might be restricted for climb seg. Runway might be long enough for full weight up but your segment might restrict a lesser weight to meet the segments. all depends on obstacle. so if the 1400 m is ok you still need to check runway environment on dep end. clear way etc.
I think for YTZ you have a a pretty good clearway off Rwy 26 so the numbers can work well for them.

Re: Q400 performance figs
No problem with climb segment or any other restrictions..only the ones as per the original post so a normal t/o chart can be utilized..thought there may be some Westjet or Porter drivers/dispatchers who have the data available..thanks again for the responses thus far...
