At my company, one of the benefits of using a redispatch is increased payload since you are carrying less fuel. The trick when flightplanning is to find the redispatch destination and alternate which balances the lower required fuel while not limiting payload due to a landing weight restriction. Using the same city pair LAX-SYD and the 77L , PFPX will calculate max payload for the trip if you specify. Of course some aircraft types benefit more for a redispatch than others.

What a redispatch does is reduce the amount of contingency fuel that needs to be carried. Using your LAX-SYD as an example, without a redispatch flightplan you would have to carry 10% reserves for the entire 14hr 25mins or so, in this example it adds up to carrying a total of 17300lbs for vs 4041lbs. You have to burn fuel in order to carry the extra weight . It costs an additional 3400lbs burn over the entire trip to carry the additional weight of the fuel FUEL CORR ENDUR TRIP 219028 ........ 14:25 10 PCT 17300 ........ 01:26 ALTN YMDG 6142 ........ 00:22 INTL HOLD 6197 ........ 00:30 CONT 1000 ........ 00:05 MIN T/O 249667 ........ 16:43 EXTRA 0 ........ 00:00 TAXI 570 ........ 00:10 RELEASE 250237 ........ 16:53 FUEL CORR ENDUR TRIP 215628 ........ 14:27 10 PCT 4041 ........ 00:21 ALTN YMDG 6081 ........ 00:22 INTL HOLD 6089 ........ 00:30 CONT 6042 ........ 00:05 MIN T/O 238881 ........ 15:40 EXTRA 0 ........ 00:00 TAXI 570 ........ 00:10 RELEASE 239451 ........ 15:50 Hope this helps Darrell

HI Chris,Thanks for the repaints, they are excellent. I have been searching for the 737-700 winglets for FS9 and have not found one. Any idea where I might be able to find one?ThanksDarrell Gordon

I attempted a performace calculation using the condiations you specified.+_15c / calm wind / QNH1013 / EAI off / A/C on / runway 06Performace limt 166117lb / 75,350kgActual takeoff weight 165345lb / 75tonsThe margin is 551feet This calulation is for same conditions, except for *A/C off*Notice the stop margin is higher (610ft) with more power being used ThanksDarrell Gordon
