DF727 fuel planning program

Featured Replies

Does anyone know of a program/spreadsheet for the DF727. I cant even find 727-200 charts not to mention a program.Thanks

Charts and checklists are found in the manuals. The manuals are located in the aircraft folder of FS9 under the aircraft found in the Flight One 727 folder. Manuals total nearly 300 pages and are complete with tutorials.Tom

I looked in the manual as I said and the 727-200 doesnt have charts for it.

Try this site:http://www.boeing-727.comThere's some fuel planning info on there that's probably not exact, but should be quite close.Lewis "Moose" GregoryRichmond, Virginia

I looked there and they have burn rates vs time airborne but thats pretty rough. Strange that all sorts of other products (not as good ones i may add) had these made up for them. Maybe I will make one :)

I wrote an FSBuild v2 profile specifically for the DF727. Using that, FSBuild generates nice complete JetPlan-style flight plans with the fuel plan blocks. Should be good +/- 3-4%.http://www.fsbuild.comClick on the link under "Library" for aircraft performance data. CheersBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Santiago de Chile

I use 9,000 pph for planning purposes, and almost always hit it close! :) Try it... :)regards,Macs :)

I'm going to try to build a sheet as well, but need to find some time to get the table data inputted.In the meantime, I do the following using the QRH (Quick Reference Handbook) charts (charts quoted are for the -200). It's a fair bit of work, but I think the DF727's appeal is the "workload simulation" it offers. And I fly the same route alot, so I don't do this every flight! Warning: I'm not a pilot or a precision fanatic, so don't be using anything I write below in your REAL 727. I've also got to do a few more hauls to tune this up a bit. That said, I'm happy for any comments/advice.Setup1. Using flight planner of choice choose a flight distance and cruise altitude2. Use the 727 Configuration Manager to determine Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW)3. Estimate total fuel using 1000#/25nm ave. (Fuel = dist*1000/25). Add to ZFW to get estimated Take-off Gross Weight (TOGW). Cruise Fuel4. Use "5.6 Enroute Climb" to calc fuel burned and dist in climb.5. Use "5.11 Descent" to calc fuel burned and dist in descent.6. Cruise distance = Total - Climb - Descent. Use "5.8 Max Cruise 0.78" to calc. fuel in cruise (Cruise Dist / Specific Range)Additions7. Alternate: allow Dist/200*1208. APU: allow 20min each end @ 4.8#/min = 200#9. Taxi: allow 10min each end @ 60#/min = 1200#Total10. Sum it all up and add 10% to get total. Add to ZFW to get actual TOGWSpeeds etc. 11. Use "5.1 V-speeds" to get speeds. 12. Use "5.3 TO Power" to get TO EPR . 13. Use "5.5 Climb EPR" to get climb EPR at various altitudes.14. Use "5.15 Manouver Speeds" to get Flap Retraction SpeedsI'd be happy to post an example if anyone's interested.
