- Please consider range, airport facilities, runway length, etc before changing aircraft
- Boeing 727-100 and -200 / Boeing 737-200,-300,-400 / Boeing 747-100,-200,-400,-800, / DC-9-10,-30,-40,-50 /MD-81,-82,-83,-88 considered as same type and you may change in ACARS if type is available or you may keep the current plane (e.g. if in your simulator a DC-9-30 loaded and schedule/acars shows DC-9-10, then you are ok to fly, you eventually need to change the amount of passengers!
- All planes may be changed on pilots descretion
- Appreciate not to mix up airline fleets, e.g. TWA planes for America West. Check the Fleetpage!
- TWExpress and America West Express only with aircrafts of their fleet
- Give reason of change in Pirep remark
- * only PSA
- It is not valid for TWA IGS flights (those flights MUST operate with B727-100 only)
- Not valid for Tours - Tours must be in sequence with the assigned aircraft
DO NOT USE AIRCRAFTS FROM OTHER AIRLINES FOR TWA FLIGHTS (AND VICE VERSA!)
