radeon29 17 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I noticed a difference in weight(model 300 wheels): 1)the manual data: Spoiler Please login to display this image. 2)the AS TwinOtterX FuelPlanner data MZFW : Spoiler Please login to display this image. -fuel Spoiler Please login to display this image. -MTOW-taxi weights?? Spoiler Please login to display this image. -MZFW Spoiler Please login to display this image. Which in the end will the weights be correct? DOW 7414lbs -weight empty? MZFW 62500 MTOW 12500 MLW 12055 Capacity: PAX 20 Cargo 358kg? Fuel 1379kg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted February 16, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted February 16, 2018 It all depends highly on the configuration of the aircraft. The flight model is based on an average of the many different weight tables we found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I'm not sure is this MZFW, I can not find this data... Tell me what kind of data do you have on the MZFW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted February 16, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted February 16, 2018 Again, I would not focus too much on these weights because pilots do not do so. As long as it is not overly heavy (and that differs between planes even of the same series, due to age of the engine, wing warping etc etc). I clearly remember talking to Twin Otter pilots about lift off speed. Most pilots only had a rough idea of at what speed the take-off with what weight. They spool up the turbines and lift of when the aircraft wants to fly. I found some data here: http://aeronautics.wikidot.com/twin-otter-dhc6 But again it differs from other sources.
