April 27, 201313 yr For those that use FSBuild for flight/fuel planning: I just uploaded a set of FSBuild aircraft performance tables for the Majestic Q400 to the AVSIM library. These tables use English units (LBS). Someone has already posted a profile for the Q400 in metric units (KGS) in the FSBuild forum at www.fsbuild.com.

April 27, 201313 yr thanks for that, thought i would have to edit the one at fsbuild.com but will use yours. btw, can the q400 fms read fsbuild or fsx flt plans? never saw an answer either way from the devs. R9-9950X3D 32G | RTX5090 | 3T m.2 | Win11 | vkb-gf ultimate & pedals | virpil cm3 throttle | tm boeing yoke | pimax super uw | DCS

I just copy real world flight plans that are current from flight aware. But fuel planner.com doesnt have the Q. CYVR LSZH I7-14700k 64gb 6000Mhz DDR5 ASUS z690 ROG STRIX Gaming RTX 4080 Super,
April 29, 201313 yr I've been trying to figure out how to determine proper fuel loads as well. I don't have FSBuild and really have no way of knowing how much to add. I can't seem to find a fuel planner anywhere. Dave Wegner - Don't be afraid of common sense or the search function.
April 29, 201313 yr Thanks Bob! However, I don't use FSBuild, but have used your data to create an .xls that figures all the calcs within the sheet. Would you mind me distributing my .xls with your data? Adam Hill
April 30, 201313 yr Bob, do you happen to have takeoff and landing distance charts for various TO weights? I went off the runway today at CYTZ flying a full Porter Q400 to Newark. I thought the real world flight I was on was full but I guess I had too much baggage and fuel. Mark CYYZ
April 30, 201313 yr Author Bob, do you happen to have takeoff and landing distance charts for various TO weights? I went off the runway today at CYTZ flying a full Porter Q400 to Newark. I thought the real world flight I was on was full but I guess I had too much baggage and fuel. Mark; No, unfortunately I don't. In MSFS I generally don't use r/w distance data anyway, as very few models get close to the r/w numbers. I have a utility I wrote to capture the data from a series of test flights...haven't flown those profiles as of yet--it's quite a few hours of work to do.

April 30, 201313 yr thanks for the info, if you ever run those profiles I would be very interested in the data. Mark CYYZ
