Aircraft: three numbers decide the route

An aircraft card lists seats, range and speed, plus the route it is currently flying. The ATR 42-600 reviewed here carries 48 seats over 1,300 km at 500 km/h — enough for an 854 km hub sector, not enough for a long-haul line.

See the fleet panel and its route assignment

The recording shows an ATR 42-600 card with its tail number, class, current route, seats, range and speed. That card is the source for every specification quoted in this section.

What the fleet panel gives you

Each aircraft is listed with a registration-style code such as AZ-002, a type name, a class label like 'turboprop · short range', the route it is assigned to, and its seats, range and speed. Service history and a flight counter sit underneath.

Those values are the only reliable way to answer 'can this aircraft fly that route'. The map does not show range, and the route card does not repeat it, so the fleet panel is where a route plan has to be checked.

Fleet questions

What do seats, range and speed mean?

Seats cap how many passengers one flight can carry, range caps how far the aircraft can fly a route, and speed feeds the quoted block time. Seats and load factor together produce the passenger count; range decides whether the route is legal at all.

Is the ATR 42-600 a good first aircraft?

It is the type whose panel is visible in the reviewed session: 48 seats, 1,300 km and 500 km/h. That suits short hub sectors. Whether it is the best first purchase depends on the aircraft list and prices in your own build, which are not published.

Does buying a bigger aircraft always earn more?

No. A larger aircraft only earns more when the route can fill the extra seats. If demand is already soft at 68% load, adding seats lowers the load factor and can turn a positive flight negative.

How do I know the price of an aircraft?

The fleet hint quotes the cash you still need, not the sticker price. Subtract that gap from your current balance only if the hint and your balance are from the same moment; otherwise open the fleet card and read the price directly.

Check the payback before the purchase

Enter the price, the net per flight and the cycle time to see how many flights an aircraft needs to pay for itself.
