Takeoff Performance B738 #12

Closed brittz closed 5 years ago

brittz commented 6 years ago

Is it possible to add other takeoff options for B738 like TO1 or TO2 and other flaps configurations? In SBRJ for example is impossible to always takeoff with flap 5 and this make me to use another programs. How can I help you to make this improvement? I really like this project.

Yes it is possible but that involves manually converting charts to tables. If you want to do it, find the B738 FPPM online, go to chapter: 'Takeoff and landing', section 'Takeoff field limit - dry runway flaps 1'. Those are charts for each flaps and dry/wet runway.

To make it work in QSimPlanner, you will need to convert those charts into tables found in FCOM, chapter 'Performance dispatch', section '737-800/Takeoff/Takeoff field and climb limit weights'. There should be a corresponding table for each altitude and dry/wet condition.

It's quite a time-consuming task. If you have any question please feel free to ask. Sorry for the late reply.
