63 metric tons may be a record cargo load for theA330-300P2F but certainly not for cargo aircraft. The 747-8f typically hauls 134 metric tons. The Antonov 225 carries more than 200 metric tons. I don't know how the volume would work out, but both the Boeing and the Antonov could haul the A-330 in pieces. [A-330 operating empty weight is 124 metric tons.]
Excellent piloting job putting it down between the two sets of overhead signs. As the old saying goes, "Any landing you can walk away from is acceptable; any landing where you can fly the plane the next day is excellent."
True, but JYO is a very special case. Just north of IAD [Dulles International] and deep in the Washington Special Flight Regulation Area it only operates with general aviation aircraft, no scheduled/commercial service. All a/c have to have working transponders and two way radio. Pilots have to have passed an FAA exam to have permission to operate into JYO.
Well, yeah. The A220-100 is designed for 100-125 seats depending on how many classes are chosen by the carrier. For weight and balance considerations, more seats just won't work. On the A220-300 the maximum number of seats is 149 in one class.
