FsPassengersX Frequently Asked Questions
I have a penalty for exceeding MTOW? |
Why can't we exceed the MTOW? (Max Take-Off Weight) MTOW is a weight that should NEVER be exceeded. It's true that this weight offers a safety margin below the actual maximum take-off weight of the aircraft (or maximum gross weight of the aircraft), in real life, the MTOW is NEVER exceeded. That's a risk airlines are not willing to take. It's better to de-board a few pax and/or some cargo as opposed to risking EVERYTHING and EVERYONE on board with an overweight aircraft. It's just not worth it! ♦ Related aviation information ♦ Crash of Air Midwest Flight 5481 (Aircraft exceeded MTOW, 21 fatalities) NTSB accident report of Crash CHI99LA235 (Aircraft exceeded MTOW, 2 injuries) Maximum_takeoff_weight on Wikipedia Related questions: I have unfair penalties, how can I disable them? I got a penalty because FsPassengers said I made a dangerous landing/take-off? I always have flap penalties? I always have light penalties? |
