FeCo

Destination Alternate

ICAO code for the airport designated as an alternate destination airport for the flight, if required.

Local Time A four-digit estimated departure time based on the local time at the origin (departure) airport. Jeppesen FlitePlan Online uses the departure time to determine forecast data to calculate the flight.

When you enter a local time, FlitePlan Online automatically populates the UTC Time box by a time conversion calculation, and vice versa. FlitePlan Online also automatically populates the UTC Departure Date box, defaulting to the current day if the time entered has not passed, or the next day if the time has already passed.

UTC Time A four-digit estimated departure time that you type in UTC format. When you enter a UTC time, the Local Time box is automatically populated by a time conversion calculation. The UTC Departure Date box is also automatically populated, defaulting to the current day if the time entered has not passed, or the next day if the time has already passed.

Jeppesen FlitePlan Online automatically converts the time you enter in the Local Time or UTC Time boxes to fill the other boxes with the correct corresponding time.

This time conversion adjusts appropriately when Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins and ends. However, if a DST change occurs between the time that you plan your flight and the departure date, the time conversion calculation may be incorrect and you should enter the time manually.

UTC Departure Date

The date of departure for your flight, based on UTC time. Departure date is used to help determine forecast data to calculate the flight. The UTC Departure Date box is also automatically populated, defaulting to the current day if the time entered has not passed, or the next day if the time has already passed.

Aircraft The aircraft associated with the flight plan.

The aircraft that appear in the Aircraft dropdown menu are the aircraft that are in your Customer Aircraft Database in JetPlan.com. See your Jeppesen account manager for more information about this database.

Call Sign The aircraft call sign associated with the flight plan.

This option instructs the system to insert a user-specified aircraft call sign in the flight plan filing program. You can enter up to 12 characters. The call sign prints out on an ICAO or domestic flight plan filing strip at the bottom of the flight plan. See Viewing a Filing Strip.

Cruise Mode - Primary

The primary cruise mode for the flight.

Allows flights operating at or above FL290 (29,000 ft) within the contiguous U.S. (Sector 2) to participate in minimum time/cost routes without restrictions.

Optimize for EU This option appears when the Origin and Destination airports are in EUROCONTROL airspace. When you select this routing option, Jeppesen Fliteplan Online performs a EUROCONTROL test filing for the purpose of route validation in addition to the flight plan calculation. For more information, see Computing a Flight Plan with EUROCONTROL Test Filing.

Figure 3.5. Sectors



Je42

An airport in EUROCONTROL airspace must be in Sector 1 or Morocco (ICAO code starts with GM) with the following exceptions:

• If the airport is in Iceland (ICAO code starts with BI), Estonia (ICAO code starts with EE), or Greenland (ICAO code starts with BG), it is excluded.

• If the airport ICAO code starts with U, it is excluded unless the following letter is D or K, as in UD (Armenia) or UK (Ukraine). EUROCONTROL airspace includes UD (Armenia) and UK (Ukraine).

HAR Non-Restrictive Routing

Non-Restrictive Routing (NRR) uses an optimized route with Navigational Reference System (NRS) waypoints. NRR allows an adequately-equipped aircraft to fly using Point-To-Point (PTP) navigation above FL390 (39,000 ft). The NRS waypoints define “pitch and catch” gates or entry and exit points for the High Altitude Redesign (HAR) airspace.

A waypoint is generated every 30 minutes of latitude and every two degrees in longitude. Ultimately, the grid system names a waypoint every 10 minutes of latitude and every one degree in longitude and lowers the minimum altitude to FL 290.

The HAR Non-Restrictive Routing option is available when the Origin and Destination airports are both within the continental U.S. (Sector 2). This option assumes that the aircraft has all NRS waypoints in its flight management system (FMS) and is RNAV-equipped. If the aircraft has traditional (not NRS) waypoints in its FMS and is RNAV-equipped, you can select the PTP Non-Restrictive Routing option.

PTP Non-Restrictive Routing

PTP Non-Restrictive Routing uses an NRR optimized route with traditional waypoints. NRR allows an adequately-equipped aircraft to fly using PTP navigation above FL390. The PTP

The NRS Capable (NRS) parameter in the Customer Aircraft Database must be set to Yes for the aircraft to be used in an HAR flight plan that uses the NRS points. If the NRS Capable parameter is set to No, a HARSET01 error is generated when you request the HAR flight plan. Contact your Jeppesen account manager for more information about the NRS Capable (NRS) option in the Customer Aircraft Database.



FeCo

Non-Restrictive Routing option is available when the Origin and Destination airports are both within the continental U.S. (Sector 2). This option assumes that the aircraft has traditional waypoints (not the NRS waypoints) in its FMS and is RNAV-equipped. If the aircraft does have the NRS waypoints in its FMS and is RNAV-equipped, you can select the HAR Non-Restrictive Routing option.

Organized Tracks This option is available when the Origin and Destination airports fall under recommended tracks for those sectors. Available tracks are:

• North Atlantic Tracks (NAT) West

• North Atlantic Tracks (NAT) East

• PACOTS Eastbound

• PACOTS Westbound

• Westbound Flexes

Aircraft Biases Use aircraft biases to apply ad hoc biases with one or more unique parameters. An ad hoc bias is applied in the unit and number amount that you specify. For example, if you type 1.25 and select% as the unit, the bias increases the value by 1.25 percent. You must precede negative values with a minus sign. For example, if you type – 1.25 and select nm as the unit, the bias decreases the value by 1.25 nm.

Departure aircraft biases apply only to the departure segment of the flight, and are entered as positive whole numbers. The types of departure aircraft biases are explained below.

Departure Distance

Use this bias to add mileage to the flight plan by the amount you enter. This bias does not affect the climb profile.

Departure Fuel Use this bias to increase the fuel totals for the climb portion of the flight by the amount you enter, as well as the amount required to carry extra fuel. For example, a departure bias of 1,000 lbs may require an additional 30 lbs to carry it to the Top of Climb (TOC).

Departure Time Use this bias to add time to the climb table time. Time is also added to the cruise and descent time totals.



FeCo

Arrival aircraft biases apply only to the arrival segment of the flight, and are entered as positive whole numbers. The types of arrival aircraft biases are explained below.

Arrival Distance Use this bias to add mileage to the flight plan by the amount you enter. This bias does not affect the descent profile.

Arrival Fuel Use this bias to increase the fuel totals for the arrival portion of the flight by the amount you enter, as well as the amount required to carry extra fuel. For example, an arrival bias of 1,000 lbs requires extra fuel during the enroute cruise portion of the flight.

Arrival Time Use this bias to add time to the descent table time. Time is also added to the climb and cruise time totals.

Alternate aircraft biases apply to the primary destination alternate and you must enter them as whole numbers, positive or negative. The types of alternate aircraft biases are explained below.

Alternate Distance Add or subtract from the alternate distance.

Operational Weight

Different ad hoc operational weight limit.

Maximum Fuel Different ad hoc maximum fuel at takeoff.

Max Takeoff Weight

Different ad hoc maximum takeoff weight limit.

Max Landing Weight

Different ad hoc maximum landing weight limit.

Table 3-4 Boxes Where You Can Change Default Fuel and Payload Values

Box Name Directions

Max Payload Maximize the payload with regards to the weight limits of the selected aircraft and the fuel and weight scenario you have selected in the Fuel and Payload list.

Consider structural payload limitations (14 CFR 119.3) and fuel limitations (carrying a lot of fuel limits how much payload you can carry to stay under your max takeoff/landing weights). This instructs Jetplan to maximize payload until FPO finds one of those limitations.

Automatic Weight Reduction

You can select the Automatic Weight Reduction check box in combination with any payload or fuel scenario.

In cases when the plan calculation exceeds a weight limit or fuel capacity limit, automatic weight reduction recalculates the plan using a reduced weight value. Jeppesen FlitePlan Online continues to iterate the value down until it eliminates the error or the value reaches zero. Typically, the autoweight process adjusts the payload or fuel weight (depending on the scenario) until it determines a viable solution to the excess weight problem.

Route Restriction OptionsUse the Route Restrictions area under Routing on the Advanced Flight Options pane to restrict your flight path from crossing specified checkpoints, FIRs/UIRs, and airways. Each of these options is explained below.

Special Reserves Specify any Fuel Over Destination requirements. Select one of the following options:

• None Specified – This is the default option. No additional fuel is specified for the flight plan.

• Fuel Over Destination – Ensures that a specific amount of fuel is available at landing. If the sum of the hold, alternate, reserve, and requested extra fuels (contingency fuels) is less than the specified Minimum Fuel Over Destination value, extra fuel is added. This option generates an error if the sum of these fuels exceeds the Fuel Over Destination value. This option sets the exact amount of contingency fuel this flight must have.

• Minimum Fuel Over Destination – This option is similar to the Fuel Over Destination option. It ensures a minimum value for Fuel Over Destination if the sum of the hold, alternate, reserve, and contingency fuels does not meet your requirements. However, there may be excess contingency fuel with this option.

Fuel This box appears only when you select Fuel Over Destination or Minimum Fuel Over Destination in the Special Reserves list.

Advanced Routing OptionsThis section explains the options under Routing on the Advanced Flight Options pane, excluding the Route Restrictions area. For information on specifying route restrictions, see Route Restriction Options. The first few options explained below only appear when certain route types are selected on the Create New Flight Plan pane.

Avoid Airways To prevent your flight path from crossing a particular airway, type the name of the airway in the Avoid Airways box. You specify a segment of the airway to avoid using the Checkpoints Start and Checkpoints End boxes, explained below. If you want to specify more than one airway to avoid, select the adjacent add (+) button. You may specify as many as 10 airways to avoid.

Avoiding an airway requires you to define the airway segment explicitly by specifying the airway name, and then denoting a starting and ending checkpoint for the segment of the airway you wish to bypass. The starting and ending point identifiers are simply valid checkpoints on the airway.

Checkpoints Start

If you have specified an airway to avoid, use the Checkpoints Start box to type a beginning checkpoint on the segment of the airway you want to bypass.

Checkpoints End

If you have specified an airway to avoid, use the Checkpoints End box to type a ending checkpoint on the segment of the airway you want to bypass.

Avoid User-defined

Use the Avoid User-defined list to specify an ad hoc area to avoid. You may specify a circular area to avoid, or a polygonal area with up to five sides. To avoid a circular area, you must specify a center point of the circle and a radius. To avoid a polygonal area, you must specify each corner point of the area.

Latitude If you are creating a circular avoid area, use the Latitude boxes to type the latitude point for the center of the circle. If you are creating a polygonal avoid area, use the Latitude boxes to type the latitude points for each corner of the polygon.

Longitude If you are creating a circular avoid area, use the Longitude boxes to type the longitude point for the center of the circle. If you are creating a polygonal avoid area, use the Longitude boxes to type the longitude points for each corner of the polygon.

ERAD Enable EUROCONTROL Route Availability Document (ERAD) routing, allowing the system to create a route that is both optimized and compliant with EUROCONTROL’s traffic flow restrictions. Jeppesen recommends that you select the ERAD check box when performing a EUROCONTROL test file validation, unless you have selected Optimized for EU as the routing option. (If Optimized for EU is selected as the routing option, the ERAD check box is selected by default but disabled.)

These options increase your likelihood of passing the test file validation. For more information, see Test Filing with EUROCONTROL.

TACAN Routing Includes TACAN routing in the calculations.

MEA/MAA Consider and maintain a profile constraint based on MEA/MMA factors.

MAA (Maximum Authorized Altitude) is the maximum altitude at which you can be certain the VOR stations on the same frequency do not interfere with each other. MEA (Minimum Enroute Altitude) is the minimum altitude at which you can receive reliable VOR signals along a specific segment of an airway. MEAs also assure adequate clearance (1000 feet) of any obstacle (2000 feet in the mountains) within 5 NM of the airway center line.

Grid MORA GRID MORA (Minimum Off Route Altitude) is a Jeppesen method of depicting the minimum flight altitude within a grid formed by the charted lines of latitude and longitude. Select GRID MORA if routing deviates from airway structure and you want to maintain minimum flight altitudes.

About the NOTAMs/TFRs FilterJeppesen FlitePlan Online automatically filters NOTAMs and TFRs for relevancy in the flight plan package, so that you see only those NOTAMs/TFRs that pertain to your flight. NOTAMs are shown in the ICAO format.

The following filtration criteria are applied:

• Only NOTAMs that are effective 90 Minutes prior to ETD through 90 minutes after ETA are included and the following NOTAM types are filtered out:

– JC (Jeppesen Chart)

– JN (Jeppesen NavData)

– NP (Jeppesen Publication NOTAMs)



FeCo

• NOTAMs are filtered based on their Q-Code and the “phase of flight” in which they occur.

The following Q-codes are filtered out for the “Terminal” phase of flight filter:

– Characters 2-3: CE, NA, NB, NC, NO, NX, AD, AF, AH, AL, AN, AO, AR, AU, AV, SC, SE, SL, SO, SS, SU, SV, SY, PZ, RA, RD, RM, RP, WE, WF, WM, WR, WS, WT, WW, GW

– Characters 4-5: None

The following Q-codes are filtered out for the “Enroute” phase of flight filter:

– Characters 2-3: LA, LB, LC, LD, LE, LF, LG, LH, LI, LJ, LK, LL, LM, LP, LR, LS, LT, LU, LV, LW, LX, LY, LZ, MA, MB, MC, MD, M MG, MH, MK, MM, MN, MO, MP, MR, MS, MT, MU, MW, MX, MY, OB, OL, FA, FB, FC, FD, FE, FF, FG, FH, FI, FJ, FL, FM, FO, FP FS, FT, FU, FW, FZ, CG, CM, CP, CR, CT, IC, ID, IG, II, IL, IM, IN, IO, IS, IT, IU, IW, IX, IY, NF, AZ, SA, SF, ST, PA, PB, PD, PE, PI, PK, PM, PN, PO, PU, GA

Refer to the next bullet to understand when the “Terminal” and “Enroute” filters are applied.



Je70

• NOTAMs are grouped by phases of flight in the flight plan package, as follows:

– Origin – Includes NOTAMs associated with the origin airport. Uses the “Terminal” Q-Code filter.

– Takeoff Alternate – Includes NOTAMs associated with the takeoff alternate airport. Uses the “Terminal” Q-Code filter.

– Enroute Corridor – Includes NOTAMs that occur along your route of flight and fall within the “swath” boundary. (Refer to next bullet.) Uses the “Enroute” Q-Code filter.

– Enroute Alternate – Includes NOTAMs associated with your Enroute Alternate airport(s).Uses the “Terminal” Q-Code filter.

– Destination – Includes NOTAMs associated with the destination airport. Uses the “Terminal” Q-Code filter.

– Arrival Alternate Corridor – Includes NOTAMs that occur along a route of flight between your destination airport and primary arrival alternate airport and fall within the “swath” boundary. (Refer to next bullet.) Uses the “Enroute” Q-Code filter.

– Arrival Alternate – Includes NOTAMs associated with each of the arrival alternate airports. Uses the “Terminal” Q-Code filter.

– Other Alternate Areas – Includes NOTAMs associated with any additional alternate airports specified. Uses the “Terminal” Q-Code filter.

– No Geospatial Info – These NOTAMs are returned for all flights, as their location cannot be determined. All Q-Codes are included.

• For determining “Enroute” NOTAMs along a route of flight, a geospatial “swath” filter is applied.

– Includes all NOTAMs within a 50 nm radius of your route of flight. (100 nm corridor)

– Vertically there are no criteria, meaning everything from FL100-FL600 is considered prior to applying the “Enroute” Q-Code filter.

Filing Flight PlansTest Filing with EUROCONTROL

Je10

Test Filing with EUROCONTROLEUROCONTROL offers a test file validation service that allows you to check in advance that a computed flight plan is accepted for filing when submitted to EUROCONTROL. This service applies only to flight plans that are submitted to EUROCONTROL (those that enter European airspace). Test filing does not guarantee that the flight plan is accepted when it is filed, but provides an indication. This allows you to correct errors that would prevent your flight plan from being accepted, before it is time to file.

To use the EUROCONTROL test file validation service in Jeppesen FlitePlan Online, see the following topics:

• About the EUROCONTROL Test Filing Process

• Computing a Flight Plan with EUROCONTROL Test Filing

• Manually Submitting a Flight Plan for EUROCONTROL Test Filing

About the EUROCONTROL Test Filing ProcessWhen you compute a flight plan, Jeppesen FlitePlan Online recognizes if the flight plan falls under EUROCONTROL restrictions. Only flight plans with an ETD in the next 5 days (120 hours) can be submitted for test filing. All qualifying flight plans are then automatically submitted to the EUROCONTROL test filing service. You do not need to take any action to submit a flight plan for test filing. The results of the test filing appear in the Flight Plan Summary area in the flight plan package and on the Flight Plans navigation tab. Results can include: EUROCONTROL Test File Passed, EUROCONTROL Test File Ineligible, and EUROCONTROL Test File Alerts.

Details for any alerts are found in the Alerts area of the Flight Plan Summary.

Computing a Flight Plan with EUROCONTROL Test FilingAll flight plans that qualify for EUROCONTROL test filing is automatically submitted to the test filing service at the time you compute them. You do not have to take any action to submit your flight plan. However, you can increase the likelihood that your flight plan passes by test filing and by selecting certain options on the flight plan form.



FeCo

To understand how to create a new flight plan, see Create a Flight Plan with New Values. When you enter an origin and destination on the flight plan form that fall within EUROCONTROL restrictions, a new option is added to Routing list. Select Optimized for EU to enable EUROCONTROL Route Availability Document (ERAD) routing, allowing the system to create a route that is both optimized and compliant with EUROCONTROL’s traffic flow restrictions. This minimizes errors that may cause your flight plan to fail the test filing validation. The CRAM check box is selected by default when you select Optimized for EU.

If your flight plan does not have both an origin and destination that fall within EUROCONTROL restrictions, the Optimized for EU routing option is not available. However, your flight plan may still fall within EUROCONTROL restrictions if the route of flight crosses EUROCONTROL airspace, or if either the origin or destination is within Europe. Such a flight plan is submitted to the EUROCONTROL test filing service. To minimize errors that may cause your flight plan to fail the test filing validation, go to the Advanced Flight Options pane and select the ERAD check box under Routing. This also optimizes the route according to EUROCONTROL’s traffic flow restrictions.

Manually Submitting a Flight Plan for EUROCONTROL Test FilingYou can manually test-file in the following cases by selecting the Refresh button on the flight plan package:

• When you want to resubmit closer to filing to “double-check.” For example, you might have computed the flight and test-filed 5 days before ETD, and then you want to revalidate the day of the ETD. This excludes cases in which you have changed something in the flight plan (you would need to recompute and the flight plan would be revalidated automatically).

• When you initially computed the plan more than 5 days (120 hours) prior to ETD, and the flight plan could not be test-filed at the time of computation.You can then manually test-file within 5 days (120 hours) prior to ETD.

• If the flight plan was originally computed when the EUROCONTROL filing service was down, and you want to verify it later.

• If for any other reason, you want to double-check the filing.

About RAIM Prediction ReportsJeppesen FlitePlan Online supports Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) prediction reports. The Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) technology assesses the integrity of global positioning system (GPS) signals in a GPS receiver system. It is of special importance in safety-critical GPS applications, such as in aviation navigation. Jeppesen FlitePlan Online uses algorithms to generate a RAIM prediction for the entire route, including the departure and arrival airports.

You can choose from two kinds of RAIM reports in FPO:

• Settings > Airport RAIM Prediction for a single airport that you select.

• Flight Plan button > View Package > RAIM Report > Generate for all airports in the flight plan package, as well as enroute waypoints in the Flight Plan (if selected).

Requirements for RAIM Prediction Report Requests

The following rules apply for making RAIM report requests:

• You must have Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and/or RAIM permissions set in your ID attribute file. Contact your Jeppesen account manager to ensure that you have the required permissions.

• You can generate RAIM prediction reports for computed flight plans and for individual airports.

• You must first select an aircraft when generating a report for an airport.

• You cannot generate RAIM prediction reports if the Customer Aircraft database indicates that your aircraft is not GPS-equipped.

• RAIM prediction reports use defined values for RNP departure, enroute, and arrival procedures; GPS equipment; and RAIM mask angles.

For more information on using RAIM reports, contact your Jeppesen account manager.

Managing Weight and Balance

This section provides information about creating and managing weight and balance plans. The weight and balance functionality in Jeppesen FlitePlan Online enables you to enter and update data that defines weight and balance stations (Passenger, Cargo, Galley, Fuel), and identifies fuel tank specifications.

The Jeppesen weight and balance plan is a check and balance feature that enables a crew to review and, if necessary, prove that the planned flight weight conditions do not exceed the certified limitations of the aircraft.

Managing Weight and Balance consists of the following topics:

• About a Weight and Balance Plan

• About the Weight & Balance Interface

• Creating an Aircraft Weight and Balance Configuration

• Modifying an Aircraft Configuration

• Customizing the CG Envelope Diagram

• Working with a Load Plan

About a Weight and Balance Plan

Jeppesen FlitePlan Online enables you to create a weight and balance plan for a calculated flight plan. A weight and balance plan is a data record that defines the stations and center of gravity envelope for a specific aircraft. The Jeppesen weight and balance plan is a check and balance feature that enables a crew to review and, if necessary, demonstrate that the planned flight weight conditions do not exceed the certified limitations of the aircraft.

To successfully generate a weight and balance plan, an aircraft configuration must first be created for the aircraft. (See About the Weight & Balance Interface.) You can create one aircraft configuration per aircraft.

To create a weight and balance plan, the following conditions must be met:

• A valid weight and balance configuration must exist for the aircraft used in the computed flight plan. See About the Weight & Balance Interface.

• You must have a successfully computed flight plan. See Creating Flight Plans for additional information.

The weight and balance plan enables you to enter weight and other measurements in various areas of an aircraft. There are two parts to a weight and balance plan; the aircraft configuration, which displays the aircraft stations, Arm values, weight and

balance configurations and the center of gravity (CG) Envelope Diagram, which is a graphical depiction of the center of gravity. See About the Weight & Balance Interface.

About the CG Envelope

The CG Envelope Diagram is a graph that plots weight on the vertical axis, and CG (center of gravity) or MAC% on the horizontal axis. FPO displays the CG position on the graphic using three weight values:

1 Zero Fuel weight—The total weight of the aircraft, passengers, baggage/cargo, and galley, excluding fuel weight.

2 Takeoff weight—The total weight of the aircraft, passengers, baggage/cargo, galley, and fuel remaining at liftoff.

3 Landing weight—The total weight of the aircraft, passengers, baggage/cargo, galley, and fuel remaining at touchdown.


Managing Weight and BalanceAbout the Weight & Balance Interface

Je15

About the Weight & Balance Interface The Weight & Balance plan is configured via a series of steps in which you enter values that define the center of gravity (CG) for your flight. Jeppesen FlitePlan Online produces the CG envelope for your flight when you have entered all required weight & balance configuration information.

About Weight & Balance InformationBelow you find descriptions for Weight & Balance options and functionality. If you wish to use a weight and balance configuration on a flight plan, you must create the configuration first. This section provides information to help you make decisions as you progress through the steps that are required to create the configuration.

For directions on creating a weight and balance configuration, see Creating an Aircraft Weight and Balance Configuration.

Weight and Balance Configuration Editing Tools

You can use the following editing tools that are available only when you are in one of the step tab panes to configure weight and balance:

The aircraft’s operating empty weight including the crew and crew supplies, removable service and emergency equipment, oil and usable fuel, and any other additional aircraft items that have a standard weight and position within the aircraft, minus the crew. Additionally, you can use the corrected empty weight to increase the efficiency of aircraft loading by adding any aircraft items that have a standard weight and position but are not part of the aircraft's operational empty weight. If you use the corrected empty weight to add items, you need to understand which items are already accounted for in the Corrected Empty Weight (CEW) value.

Corrected Empty ARM ARM value that correlates with the corrected empty weight--for example, the weight of the operating empty ARM of the aircraft adjusted for any additions or subtractions made to the operating empty weight of the aircraft.



Fuel Station Define the ARM type, ARMs, and volume limits of fuel tanks.

Non Fuel Station Define the station type, ARM, weight limits and cabin position of passengers, cargo and other items loaded into the aircraft hull.

Station Arm Unit The unit of measure for measuring the distance from the reference datum to a given station.

Station Arm The distance from the reference datum to a given station.




Je16

Fixed and Variable ARM Types

Fuel stations can have an ARM type of Fixed or Variable. A fixed ARM type is used for fuel tanks whose ARM does not change during the burning of fuel from the tank. The Variable ARM type is used when the fuel station’s ARM changes as fuel is burned.

When a variable ARM type is used, variable fuel ARM tables must be configured. If there is one fuel tank with a variable fuel ARM, then a single fuel table must be configured. If there are multiple tanks with variable fuel ARM types, then either a single fuel table can be defined for all the tanks, or multiple fuel ARM tables can be defined, one for each tank.

Step 3: CG Envelope

The CG envelope pane provides information related to the center of gravity for the aircraft based on the values you entered in Step 1: Configuration Setup Step and Step 2: Stations.

Cabin Position The relative position of the station to the side of the aircraft hull, as facing the nose of the aircraft. It can be either left, right, or center. This can be 3 left, 3 center, 3 right per row (i.e. specific ARM value), for a total of 6 per row.

Name Type the Name of the fuel station in this box.

Arm Type The options in the dropdown menu let you define the Arm Type as fixed or variable. If the manual for this aircraft lists a single value for this aircraft’s fuel ARM, select Fixed Arm. If the manual for this aircraft provides one or more tables and/or graphs depicting the change in the fuel station ARM or CG position as a result of fuel burn, select Variable.

Arm (feet) Type the Arm measurement into this box.

Volume Limit The maximum volume of fuel allowed in the fuel tank. The Volume Limit is optional, and is used for advisory warnings.

For aircraft with a CG envelope based on zero fuel weight, fuel ARM values are not required for CG calculation. This is a required box, however. Add “0” ARMs for this type of aircraft to save on the time required for setup. FPO ignores this number when you select the “based on zero fuel weight” check box in Step 3: CG Envelope).

Je18

About Dynamic Runway Analysis

DRA allows the pilot to monitor and quickly decipher runway conditions in order to assure that the aircraft does not exceed its capabilities during departure, takeoff and landing. To do this, DRA supplies on-screen data for factors like weather, weight, wind speed, pressure, temperature and runway length and to calculate how close the aircraft would be to approaching its limits for the selected runway(s). You can then make adjustments to avoid potential risks during takeoff, landing, and when considering shortening the runway. The Weight & Balance/Runway Analysis tab displays at the top of the window. The selected airports are displayed below the Weight & Balance/Runway Analysis table.

After you have accessed DRA from the flight plan, the Weight & Balance/Runway Analysis tab opens, displaying the following areas that can be used to review and modify runway analysis options.

About Calculating Runway AnalysisFPO starts the runway analysis calculations after you select Calculate on the Weight & Balance / Runway Analysis page.
