Hi Dutch,
Any chance of getting the aircraft's “Zero Fuel Weight” added to one of the pages on the FCOM so I don’t have to keep taking my shoes off to compute it myself?

Hi Dutch,
I ran a flight from KMIA to KTPA and was unable to find the zero fuel weight listed anywhere on the FCOM but I’m not willing to say it’s not there but rather just that I was unable to find it. Maybe some of the more experienced user of FSC can chime in on this and either confirm that it’s not there or point me in the right direction so I can find it.
Thanks

I don't think it's on the FCOM, but it is on the dispatch release for your flight which you can see by using the menu option "View Dispatch Release".
It's the ZFW item under the WEIGHT/BALANCE section. Is that what you are looking for?

Hey Dutch,
I found it on the Dispatch Release…thanks. The only problem is that that ZFW calculation is only good for the first leg of a multi-leg flight. Not a real big deal as the calculation is pretty easy to do but I was thinking it would have been nice to maybe have it listed on the “Flight Review” page underneath the Payload and fuel weights.
thanks

It's actually also on the Information page also. However I'm told it's calculated wrong but that'll be easy to fix.

You would have thought that with 31 flights under my belt using this program and actively seeking this specific feature out, hell I even read through the FCOM manual a couple times looking for it, that I would have found it on my own. Thanks for the heads up Dutch. |
