Typically, a Boeing 777 requires a minimum of two pilots for long-range flights: a captain and a first officer. Depending on the airline's operation and regulations, additional relief pilots may be included for very long flights to manage fatigue and ensure safety. The crew may also include flight engineers or additional first officers in certain configurations, but the core requirement remains two pilots.
I don't know the rules but on recent 14 hour Air Canada flights from Toronto to Beijing and Shanghai to Toronto there were 4 very mature pilots.....one with 4 stripes and 3 with 3 stripes. I was told by the flight attendant that there was a captain, co-pilot, relief pilot and 2nd officer.
The planes used in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were Boeing 767 and Boeing 757 models. Specifically, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 were Boeing 767s, while American Airlines Flight 77 was a Boeing 757 and United Airlines Flight 93 was also a Boeing 757. These aircraft were chosen for their large passenger capacities and long-range capabilities.
The Boeing 777-300ER typically requires a flight crew of two pilots. Additionally, the number of cabin crew members can vary depending on the airline's configuration, but it usually ranges from 8 to 14 flight attendants for passenger services. Overall, the total crew on a 777-300ER can range from around 10 to 16 members.
The Boeing 757ER does not exist.
The Boeing 737-800 has a maximum range of approximately 2,935 nautical miles (about 3,388 miles or 5,445 kilometers) when fully loaded. This range can vary depending on factors such as payload, weather conditions, and flight profile. Typically, it is used for short to medium-haul flights, making it a popular choice for airlines worldwide.
The range is 3,000 - 5,000 nm.
The fuel cost for a Boeing 767 can vary significantly based on factors like current fuel prices, flight duration, and operational efficiency. As of late 2023, jet fuel prices typically range from $3 to $5 per gallon, and the Boeing 767 consumes about 5,000 to 6,000 pounds of fuel per hour, which translates to approximately 750 to 900 gallons. Therefore, total fuel costs for a flight can range from $2,250 to $4,500 per hour, depending on fuel prices.
A Boeing 757 typically has a range of about 3,000 to 3,900 nautical miles, depending on the specific model and configuration. This translates to approximately 5 to 8 hours of flight time, depending on factors like altitude, weight, and weather conditions. The exact duration can vary based on operational circumstances and flight plans.
The Boeing 767-400ER is one of the varients of the Boeing 767. It is essentially a stretched Boeing 767-300ER. The "ER" bit stands for Extended Range.
A Boeing 747 has a price range of 228 to 297 million dollars.
Both, the Boeing 777 and the Boeing 787 have extremely long range than any other airplanes. The Boeing 777 is very old and it been around much longer than the Boeing 787. The Boeing 777 can also carry more passengers than the Boeing 787 but the Boeing 787 is lighter, can take off faster and easier, can travel faster and has more longer range than the Boeing 777. The Boeing 777 is heavier than the Boeing 787. Size does not even matter but the altitude and the range! Top speed of the Boeing 777: 567 miles per hour Top speed of the Boeing 787: 677 miles per hour Maximum cruising altitude of the Boeing 777: 43, 400 ft Maximum cruising altitude of the Boeing 787: 45, 200 ft
Take-off speeds for the Boeing 737 range between 130 kts and 160 kts Landings speeds for the Boeing 737 range between 110 kts and 170 kts.
