July 30, 20232 yr Hello, everybody I have a big problem with the 737 I fly the 900 er engine overworked at cruising and climbing at cruising I get 95% of trust with only 58 zfw end 13 tons of fuel I tried everything I checked thousand times with tutorials. I don’t do nothing wrong, but I can’t solve it please help me.
July 30, 20232 yr The first question would be, how high are you trying to climb? On the cruise page of the FMC you'll see two altitudes listed: optimum and max. You really don't want to climb much above optimum. You likely will not be able to climb above max. Andrew Crowley
July 30, 20232 yr It's probably me, but what exactly is the problem ? AMD 7 7700X, 32GB DDR5, RTX 5060ti 16GB, 2 x Samsung 1TB NVMe, 1 x 4TB sata SSD, Windows 11 Prof
July 30, 20232 yr Got any screenshots or videos pointing out your issue, as I'm sensing this probably comes down to misunderstanding the 737 [MSI MPG X870E Carbon | 9800X3D (PBO +200Mhz / -20 Offset) | Corsair 64GB DDR5 (Custom Timings) | RTX 4090 Founders Edition (Undervolted) | WD SNX 850X 4TB + 4TB | Antec Flux Pro]

I’m flying optimal conditions always and do an Econ climb

High engine thrust setting at cruise - are you sure the gear, flaps and or spoilers aren't deployed? Thrust (using autothrottle and VNAV or FLT LVL Change) will always be high during climb. If you are using a really high cost index, or set a high cruise mach setting you will see high thrust. I think I've only ever seen around 90% in cruise, and it's usually more like 80% - 85%. Thrust required to cruise at a given speed will also vary depending on altitude. i7-6700k • Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 • 32GB DDR4 2666 • EVGA FTW ULTRA RTX3080 12GB

I’m climbing and cruising Econ mode and do takeoff and climb derate when the aircraft switch from TO trust to CLB it starts from something around 94% and after 20,000 feet is very close to 100 sometimes it’s past 100% and that cruising between 96 to 94 and not like you said 80% to 90% it’s can be a problem in the throttle quadrant of logitech
July 30, 20232 yr Just a suggestion, but why don't you ask this question over at the PMDG forum? John Wiesenfeld KPBI | FAA PPL/SEL/IFR in a galaxy long ago and far away | VATSIM PILOT P2 i7-11700K, 32 GB DDR4 3.6 GHz, MSI RTX 3070ti, Dell 4K monitor

July 30, 20232 yr With 94% - 96% thrust in cruise at what altitude and mach value are you cruising? i7-6700k • Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 • 32GB DDR4 2666 • EVGA FTW ULTRA RTX3080 12GB
July 30, 20232 yr Thrust around 100% during climb is normal. If thrust is 95-ish% during cruise and you're maintaining speed you're probably going very fast or flying close to max altitude, maybe a combination of that or even very high headwinds. If you put in a high CI you will still be fast in cruise even if you're flying at ECON cruise for that CI. Need more info; screenshots of the relevant FMC pages and displays would be helpful to spot if something is off in the setup.

It's not about the conditions you're climbing in, but what altitude you're trying to reach, reference your weight and speed. Andrew Crowley
