boeing_747-400_fuel_calculator.zip

It's in the Avsim library. Archive is password protected. Password is 747400. Enjoy!

Nice find, thanks! They must have removed the password because it didn't ask me for one when I opened up the archive.

I usually use FSBuild to do my calculations - it will be interesting to see if there are differences...

Tomas, I'm sure its still password protected, but when you went in there, the gigabites reckognized that you were indeed a computer guru, and they bowed to your level of knowlege by giving you free passage! Im probably not kidding on that one! LOL

You can open the archive without the password, but you can't extract the file. The author used the tables from the PMDG manual, so it should be accurate. Not sure if he corrected for the typo in the manual for FL310 (3200nm and 3600nm). Even if he didn't correct it, it should still be very close. The program's nice. It even gives your initial cruise altitude and FMC reserve. And the best part... you don't have to do all that math.

Where do you find the Archive at Avsim?

Looks like a great little program. I'll give it a go in just a few hours!

Sorry, Louis, I think you misunderstood. The archive is the zip file itself. It's in the library at Avsim. Here's a link..

Duhhh Not one of my finest moment....

i ll dig in and check with real flight planning tools i have and Fsbuild Foc2003 and ill report.

see you

Anyone come across a fuel calculator for the DF 722??? It would be nice to have one for that aircraft.

Bryan,
Check your e-mail. I sent you a fuel planner for the 722. Downside is that it is metric, but seems to work pretty good. Hope it helps.

Thanks Gary. I'll make good use of it by converting the values manually. It is better by far than what I have.

I have a few requests sent out for manual graphs etc, for fuel burn computations etc. We'll see if they come back with much.

Bryan,

despite this is an old aircraft i may have some interesting datas for flightplanning and dispatching for 727-200 ... tell me if any interests.

see you

Phil:

I'll take anything you might have. I also have someone from the "Jet Engine Historical Society" sending me scanned copies of some actual Boeing Fuel calculation charts. These are for another JT series engine, but I figure at this rate, who can split hairs! LOL

I'll pm you my e mail addy

a good rule of thumb with the 727 is it'll burn about 10,000lbs/hr and a good figure to shoot for is to land with about 15000lbs. Thats from my experience with my former employer.
