Performance dispatch: LB vs KG

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

In the supplied FCOM, chapters PD/PI, weights are in LB. Whereas in QRH, chapter PI-QRH, they are in KG (but only for 737-800).

 

Where can I find PD tables in KG? I have found some tables in KG for 737-800 on the Internet, but not for 737-700.

 

Regards

PMDG used what Boeing supplied. I dont think that for our purposes it would make sense to pay extra to have the same units in all tables (that most of the customers will never use anyway).

 

If you can get an FCOM by an airlines based elswhere than the US, it will be most likely in KG. Bear in mind though that these manuals are restricted and copyrighted materials, so its not like Hey Ryanair, can I have a copy of your FCOM?

I fully understand the reason why only those tables are supplied. I was juste wondering if somebody had already found any KG table somewhere, as I did not manage to find any.

 

For now, I use LB in my calculations, but I would just be more comfortable with KG.Hope someone will find something interesting :)

 

Regards
