matty260191 23 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 I can ask but as I stated its irrelevant the FP as it hap[pens on any plan we do to any location. long short high low. the opt starts at say 370 and towards the end starts showing a reducing value.

matty260191 23 Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 has anyone at aerosoft actually tried and looked at the OPT towards the end of the cruise? do they not see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 14, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 14, 2018 We have not seen a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty260191 23 Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 OK well maybe its me not understanding since it didn't happen in the old airbuses. Should the OPT on the PROG page reduce towards the end of the flight? for instance the flight im on now currently OPT is FL385 but as I get closer to the end of the cruise it will reduce slowly to more like FL250. I mean I ignore it and dont decent until T/D but its just bugging me that either I dont understand or its not normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk 799 Posted August 14, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 14, 2018 What I can tell you is this from FCOM: The optimum flight level (OPT FL) indicates the most economic flight level for a given cost index, weight, weather data. It is continuously updated in flight. It requires a 5 min minimum cruise time, at a minimum cruise flight level of FL 100. The OPT FL is a compromise between fuel and time saving. As a result, the flight crew may observe jumps in OPT FL due to GW, ISA, or wind changes. The computation of the OPT FL takes into account the wind entries made by the flight crew, as well as the winds propagated by the FMS from previously entered winds. Note: For simplification purposes, the FCOM/QRH gives the OPT FL at a given Mach number. It does not consider the cost index, therefore the FMGS and the FCOM/QRH values are different.

Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk 799 Posted August 14, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 14, 2018 I can confirm your issue. I added it to the list. OPT FL and REC MAX have to rise during flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty260191 23 Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Ok thank you. I knew what OPT was thats why I was confused with it decreasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk 799 Posted August 17, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 17, 2018 It will be looked at. Unfortunately the devs have a long list of items. It may take some time. Currently we are collecting additional RW data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
