MRA 184 845/1

CALCULATIONS BASED ON THE STANDARD SEATING CAPACITIES OF THE FOUR AIRCRAFT TYPES B707, VC10, B747 AND L1011 - TOGETHER WITH THEIR NORMAL OPERATING PAYLOADS, LEAD TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE L1011 SHOULD BE RATED AT 1.75. THIS IS REINFORCED BY THE FACT THAT UNDER THE CURRENT POOL ANNEX CPA/QF, QANTAS ARE OPERATING THEIR B747'S WITH 398 SEATS, NOT 392 AND THAT A RATING OF 2.0 FOR THE L1011 WOULD THEREFORE BE TOO HIGH.
