Q400 EHGW
-74 passenger (7548kg payload) range is 1282 miles
-maximum range is approx. 1473 miles
-Q400 nextgen Datasheet
-depreciation rate: is a bit lower than Q400
Operating costs of the Q400 NextGen airliner, already among the lowest of any regional aircraft, will be made even lower by increasing the scheduled maintenance intervals and further optimizing maintenance tasks to reduce downtime during the aircraft’s life cycle. The Q400 NextGen airliner Aircraft Operating Manual (AOM) will be updated to reflect flight test experience which has shown that the fuel burn under certain operating conditions is lower than predicted.
