FLight planner

Post by Saad tawfiq(1616) »

hey everyone,

I was looking for a nice flight planner( Fuel, weight, etc..) for the PMDG 747-400F, I know that last year when i was in the VA there was a good one. You had to put the distance to be flown, your FL and you weight..and it gave you the recommended amount of fuel. Anyone knows where i can get it???

Thanks

Try avsim and search for "Lev Feldman". He's made an Excel based fuel planner that will accommodate both PAX and Cargo versions of the Queen.

There is also a nice one by Felice Valente for the 744, also if you use the 744f Load Manager you can get your max fuel figure !, let me have your email address and I,ll send you the one by Valente. :lol:

TOPCAT is the best one I've ever dealt with.

However, to get fuel information accuratley, use the FMC to get the amount, then add that info in TOPCAT to get other data.

But TOPCAT doesn't route plan, nor fuel figures. It only provides TOLDA, Assumed Temp data, and WX.
