![]() Also if I want to fly my ConcordeX, I cannot use PFPX, because I have to wait for someone to make the profile. Something I wouldn't do if I had some kind of tool to collect all that data flying the plane at the situations that tool would make inside FSX automatically.īut this is not only GA planes. I saw the tables and what it was needed and I gave up. It's definitely, far easier than planning a long-haul 747 flight with paper, pen, calculator and the FPPM. Even then, it is not much effort to use the charts in the POH. It doesn't really make sense to calculate to the nearest drop of fuel unless you are payload limited. Call the fueller to bring the tanks to 160kg to have some for the taxi and some for the family. For example, in Australia, on top of your 100kg, you can now add 40kg (45 min fixed reserve for piston fixed-wing) and now you know you need at least 140kg at the runway. Hopefully you understand what your fuel policy is. It's good enough to say, "this is a two hour flight, my aircraft burns 50kg/h, so my trip fuel is 100kg". The fuel burn rate of many GA aircraft doesn't vary that much. ![]() Personally, I don't see why people desperately want PFPX to plan their GA flights. That's not to mention that the tables also have correction factors for temperature. That means setting your aircraft up in thousands of combinations of: altitude, speed and gross weight. Nice idea, but if you look at the tables in the data files, you'll find that there are thousands of data points. ![]()
