Runway x Airplane
#4
For the L1011 to fly JNB-CGH:

Target weight: 450,854 lbs or less. (This is calculated by a proportion, runway requirement/MTOW x actual runway/target weight. Solve for target weight. In this case: 7200/510,000 x 6365/target weight. Cross multiply and solve for the target weight and you get 450,854.)

Fuel w/ reserve requires 22,288 gallons which weighs 152,451 lbs.

So we are at 245,400 (OEW) + 152451 = 397,851 lbs.

Misc weight per the formula is 330 * 10 + 700 = 4,000 lbs. Now we're at 401,851 lbs.

450,854 - 401,851 = 49,003 lbs remaining for the payload. Passengers weigh 220 lbs each including luggage, so 49,003 / 220 = 222 passengers.

So a L1011 can indeed fly from JNB to CGH, the load will just be limited to a maximum of 222 passengers.

The same can likely be said for the other aircraft.
