Thank you Emi, once again, the most relevant information is on your channel !! Thanks a lot :)

Always learning something, thank you for taking the time !

Good tutorial! Thank you very much Sir! So far liking the UFT

In the enroute landing calculation, the reason reverse thrust doesn't help is because the Autobrake values set a rate of deceleration and not just brake force. When using AB3 + reverse thrust, you're reducing the load on the brakes, as reverse thrust helps you to achieve the desired deceleration level in your current AB configuration. But yes, you would either need less weight, AB max or manual braking to land on that rwy.

Thanks for the video, answered some questions for me.

Thank you sir. Always learn from your videos.

Terrific explanations sir. Thanks very much for your time and effort in teaching the community the proper use of performance tables. Well done.

Hi, great video!. What would enter in wind tab if you had gust wind? for example 210/15 G25

Thanks for great video... When do we set efb performance? Should we set perfpröance page of aircraft?

Hi, thanks again for another helpful video. I'm currently looking for an authentic background for the efb. What did you have back when you were flying the 737? Just one of the default ios ones?

I noticed some discrepancies with VPT, using the exact same parameters, and the correct aircraft profile. Maybe all these different tools don’t use the same set of data? Though I think this tool is very welcome, I am just disappointed there is no intersection setting.

Why no distance line on the runway for takeoff calculation?

@lupo_aim

Ай бұрын

Yeah, asked me the same. This should definitely be in, with the possibility to select different runway entry intersections. The EFB is very basic for the long time they took, quite the disapointment imho…

Why on the calculations (on the right), for landing, weight is visible 72.8, instead of 65 which you entered on the left? Is this error? Or it really takes only airplane weight instead of entered one?

@FTStratLP

For me it looks like an error.

Hello sir! I wanted to ask you about the CLB selections of the N1 Limit page. Are there any rules about which one to select?

In the landing enroute tab, the weight was still shown as 72823 kg, while you entered 65000 kg, so I wonder if the calculation was correct then. :)

Thank you, I am learning a lot... Several times you have predicted the landing weight in order to revise your calculations. You just know those numbers. How should a novice go about figuring that out - what is the step by step procedure?

Easiest way to do that is Simbrief - the OPF gives you estimated landing weight

Hello, thank you very much for the video. I have a question about the Reverse config column. I understand it like this: Do you mind if I say something wrong? If the runway is dry, we have to and the All OP is not taken into account, only if it is wet, then we have to activate the All OP just like you did, right?

Very informative as always. For me seeing how this is used by real world pilots is the learning. Many thanks. Keith

Hello, you say FP request works without simbrief installer. It doesn't in my case. Do I have to change settings?

I’m still unsure how to work out the landing weight for calculating v-ref / v-fly ?

In Landing Enroute Calculation, why does it still shows 72.823kg and not the 65000kg you have entered? I mean after the calculation in the upper right corner.

I don't know if it's a stupid question. If you do the calculations for landing and you are overweight because you haven't burned as much fuel as you had planned and you overrun the runway, do you do circling to burn off a little and lose weight or that is impossible to happen? Thanks for the videos, I learn a lot

Moin Emmanuel. Weißt du, ob der Effekt einer nassen, gefrorenen usw. Piste im MSFS überhaupt simuliert wird? Bisher hatte ich nicht das Gefühl, dass der Bremsweg bei nasser Piste länger ist, als bei Trockenheit. Ist ein rein subjektives Gefühl, wissen tue ich es nicht. Daher die Frage. Danke!

Something that PMDG didn't consider : V-speed at landing. It's incorrect and doesn't match with Vref and Vapp. TOPCAT can do it and I stay with until PMDG fix it.

@pieterduplessis6906

9 ай бұрын

and yet pmdg software is licensed from Boeing?? Is it the same with TOPCAT??? Hey, since this EFB is the first ever on any platform that can actually run 3rd party apps, maybe someone can then code TOPCAT to run inside the EFB???

Is there V speed takeoff data available somewhere in the LVFR a321 or other LVFR aircraft?

If there is some way to tilt the tablet so it's flat, it would be ideal to hold meal trays in the cockpit. Much more useful this way than PMDG's current rendition of the Performance Tool. I pray Emi doesn't let PMDG drag him down into the abyss with them - he genuinely seems like a nice guy with good intentions. The venerable 'Topcat' payware takeoff and landing performance tool for Prepar3D is still the gold standard for these calculations. PMDG has managed to somehow water-down the MSFS2020 tablet performance calculator from that of the Prepar3D PMDG 737 version, the latter of which was actually quite good. PMDG always seems to go one step forward and two steps back these days. Sad. So unfair.

@@FTStratLPYou do realize they had issues with the framework in which the EFB is coded and running??? That took this long. All devs tend to have longer release dates for a new piece of software. Then, if you actually know them, you will know for example, that they always update their software to ensure realism. To think addons to the EFB will take years seems more than either click-bait or trolling or as you state - "Ridiculous"

something is not working for me...when I enter an ICAO ID in the performance tool, the other fields (Airport Name, elev) is not going to be filled automatically and I can not select any RWY (it says you need to fill all fields) it looks like no ICAO code will be accepted bei the EFB, or do I need to have a FPL or simbrief plan loaded before? I wanted to try the app without any flightplan.

When perfoming RTOW calculation, should you use standard settings , or use optimum flaps, off bleeds , ic ?

Use what you expect to use for the actual takeoff. If it gets limiting you can do some optimization, but if you're in a snowstorm for example there's no use calculating without anti ice.

captain just to know when exactly do you turn on anti ice for the engine and wings is it before takeoff or after and does it remain on for the entire flight ?? let me know please thanks

@A330Driver

9 ай бұрын

Hi, I said you need to *calculate your performance* with the least favorable wind, aka the greatest tailwind, I didn't say that you should actually aim for that wind for your actual takeoff. Your calculation should be as conservative as possible in order to get the best safety margin. If the actual wind on takeoff is better, nice.

So I set the minimums at 2500 ft. (subtracting Cork's airfield elevation of approx. 500 ft.) Whereas, FD2Sim got a MFRA of 1,500 ft from his boeing OPT (just saw his stream).

one thing I can not really comprehend; why does PMDG always get hated on for taking so long to release the efb for example, always has people complaining when the only developers with similar quality, Fenix, also constantly miss all their own set deadlines, I do not get it.

I acctualy like this EFB over the Fenix. It is bigger so I do not have to zoom in as much as I need with the Fenix. Furthermore everything you need is in one app. Instead of opening new apps all the time just two apps that do the job. I do not get all these complains about ground handling via the EFB what is the effort to do this on the fms.
