Cost Indexes logic explained... Boeing...

Hi J-C,

 

Because airlines define their own CI profiles and  SOPs, and these are confidential, it's not possible for us to know what values to use.

 

Presumably PMDG have defined their own parameters for determining the results of a CI. So it should be possible for PMDG to tell us the effects of their CI values.

 

Do you know of anywhere where these values are published?

Cheers, Richard

As far as I know the CI Value is different for the airlines, but the result when entering a cost index it should be the same for all airlines (i.e. delta will get the same mach value when entering i.e. 12 and also other airlines will get this mach number).

 

The cost indexes aren't confidental but the calculation is. I know air berlin is flying their 738 fleet with CI 15. But I have absolutely no figures which 777 CI delta is flying. There is one thread but it's dated: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/336375-cost-index-database/

 

But you can do back calculation. Get the fuel prices when the thread was started and calculate per hour value. Then get the actual fuel prices and do the maths.

 

Roughtly I'd say 15 is a good 777 value.

Kind regards,

From an undisclosed source, Emirates usually use a CI of 32-38 in the LR
