EFB OPT - increased performance funtionality!

[Copper. 78]

For those who've not yet noticed, the Electronic Flight Bag Onboard Performance Toolbox (EFB OPT) on the PMDG 748 i/F now provides Derate and Assumed Temperature (ATM) performance data!

Please do not post the same think in different forums. I have removed the one in the general forum section and leave this one as it is on the proper section. Thank you,

Those who took the time to read the changelog, will know.

That will teach you to be helpful or friendly in a PMDG forum!!!!😂

Well, I think the least you can do, and much quicker than visit this forum, is to read the Changelog.

I think he was just really excited about not having enough power! lol

I got a bit over excited last night about de-rate calculations - so much so that I derated myself to the point that I only had about 500 feet of runway left at VR! That was scary...

Been there done that 🙂

When we were testing this release I took a 8F from KPAE on a simulated delivery flight to Doha. The EFB was refusing to give me any derate calculations and was complaining about my weight, which was below the Maximum TOW...

 

I decided to depart and realized why EFB was complaining, luckily no lights/ antennas or fences where harmed 🙂

So when do you and your union representative meet with the Chief Pilot?

He was waiting for me on my return... Very uncomfortable chair and no tea or cookies for me 🙂

I have made many derated takeoffs without much technical info before I tried it and sometimes it worked. I usually avoid derated takeoffs at airports like KEWR/29. When I was planning a derated takeoff at KMEM with a freighter using the ATM tool for the 748 I was much happier with the results.

You are insane if you're even trying a de-rated take-off on runway 29 at Newark in a Boeing 747-8.

[SKEWR 364]

Largest plane I've seen take off of 29 was a A300. Otherwise all other widebodies will use 22R for take off and landing. This summer I've only seen three 747s total at EWR. (LH 747 8 regularly, and far less regularly, Air China and UPS)

 

On topic, I'm looking forward to EFBs in the other PMDG aircraft. No more alt tabbing!
