Default Load restrictions on flts in/out of Dominica

I'm going to try and non-rev to Dominica on Flt 3579 MIA-DOM on Jan 10th or 12th. I know that Dominica has a very short runway. Does Envoy cap the number of passengers so that they can make it in and out? I just don't want to find out at the gate that while there are empty seats available but that they can't be filled due to performance issues.

Thanks for the help.

That's hard to answer just by looking at the system.
If EYW is any indication with its short runway, it is possible that the flight can be weight restricted going out of there.

You can do FL04 out of EYW (unlike OAX for example), so most of the time EYW supports 85.5.

Yeah, I realize this is a tough one to answer unless you've flown the route. I think the runway in DOM is 5,700' so I'd be surprised if a 50 seater could make it in and out with a full load. I've checked the loads using the Staff Traveler app but don't know if the open seats is based off all the seats or if it is based off a set seat restricted number.

4 and static TO1 max is all you do out of EYW going yo ORD, ECS OFF even sometimes, and if ORD has any kind of weather that requires an alternate, you wont fill up the boat
