November 1, 20232 yr yep watched this, some good info, wonder how long before this turns out like the other pmdg threads 🙂 Edited November 1, 20232 yr by pete_auau I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
November 1, 20232 yr I'm sure its decent info. Will definitely take a look when i get home.

November 1, 20232 yr What I've noticed is the takeoff calculator doesn't use the weight as submitted in the left side weight field but uses the current aircraft weight for the output in the box on the right, making it impossible to calculate takeoff performance during preflight for the OFP takeoff weight as long as the aircraft isn't fully loaded up (annoying if you use real time boarding). It should use whatever you put into the weight field. That has to be a bug. It also says Vref instead of Vtgt in the landing calculator where it shows approach speed (Vref plus wind additive).

Please bear with them, it only took them 18 months to develop…

Question, in real life would takeoff calculation be done before the aircraft was full loaded?

It would be done with planned figures and confirmed (or updated if necessary) once the final loadsheet arrives. Pilots may also input higher weights to be on the safe side.

You can either put in the OFP weight, or actual aircraft weight, or type in any weight. Edited November 1, 20232 yr by Bobsk8

Probably Simbrief is using the Actual Chart Data . The EFB is using MFSF runway length, which makes sense, if you are flying in MSFS,
