April 3, 201115 yr Question for PMDG staff:I plan to go to Las Vegas for 6 weeks. It might be an idea to buy the PMDG-NGX Chief Pilot's flight manual set and have it delivered in the hotel.Can you tell me what the weight of the entire package is without the box please?Could you also tell me the weight of the 737-NGX Captain's Flight manual set?Best Regards,Bertrand Van BulckBelgium.
April 3, 201115 yr Bertrand,I just weighed my NGX Chief Pilot manual set and it weighs 6.6kg.For taking it home on your flight - volume will probably be the bigger concern - unless you're going to check the entire box in at the airport - then it is already pre-packaged in a reasonably (but not completely) sturdy cardboard box.Have fun (both in LAS and reading your manuals :( )Chris.

April 3, 201115 yr Bert,I can probably tell you that weight - since everything is included in the chief pilot's set....give me 5 minutes and a set of bathroom scales :PChris.
April 3, 201115 yr I seem to remember reading that you have to have it delivered to your billing address.EDIT: Here we go. We're not allowing shipping to an address different than the billing address - the amount of fraud when we did allow this in the past was very high.

April 4, 201115 yr Bert,Sorry...it took a bit longer than 5 minutes :D5.2kg for the 4 manuals and the checklist. Hope this helps,Chris
April 5, 201115 yr I finally got around to ordering the chief pilot's set today. I must say I'm pretty excited for it. I had printed out the manuals previously and stuck them in 3 ring binders, but I got lazy for this one and decided to just drop the money on the whole shebang. Hopefully it'll be worth it :)-stefan
