Now, the resulting aircraft profile will still be a bit "off", in terms of its performance figures, since the original template was based on the IFly non-winglet 737-700, not the PMDG 737W, but even so, the results I have been getting over the course of 3 test flights (using FSGRW weather) have been remarkably close, with fuel burns from takeoff to landing within +/- 6% of what PFPX predicted. Once that is done, it is an easy task to clone the profile for a whole fleet of aircraft, all of which will have the correct weight figures. I plugged all those figures into my 737-700 profile and saved it with a specific tail number. By default, PFPX assigns 184 pounds as the weight of a single passenger, but that is easily changed in the global setup menu.įrom the FMS, I was also able to determine maximum fuel load, maximum cargo, maximum gross weight, maximum zero fuel weight and maximum landing weight. I then loaded a full 146 passengers, took the resulting payload figure from the FMS and divided that number by 146 to determine what PMDG has assigned for the weight of a single passenger. I loaded the NGX on the ramp, zeroed out all pax, baggage and fuel to determine the proper empty weight. Yes, that's exactly what I did to determine the weights for the PMDG 737-700NG, (using the included IFly 737-700 template as a starting point). Is this how it is done to find DOW? If so it is just a matter of a few minutes to update the profiles,save them and never have too worry about it again.Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4
