    I am sorry to correct you, the A340 and the A330 have the same performance, the only difference is without two more maintenance engines and a little more fuel. The A340 is an aircraft that marked an era and gave great service, especially the A340-343 version.

    What? They have "similar" performance but not nearly the same. And saying those two more engines are just "maintenance engines" and the actual only difference is the fuel is an understatement. The A340 has a higher MTOW, and depending on Airline configuration +100 PAX more. Also the A340, depending on airline pax config etc., has a higher range than the A330. Saying that they are the same is like saying the 757 and the 767 are the same performance wise. While it might have some true aspects, I would rather call it similar than "the same".

    Basically the second. Things like the temperature of the fuel, that does affect things (for example it's density) but that is not something a simmer (or even a pilot) is bothered by. 

    I can tell you, pilots are bothered about the fuel temp.. I think there was also a BAW crew who should have in hindsight. 🙂
