Willibird_753 19 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi all, I'm in the process of creating an OFP template and ran into a few issues. Maybe one of you guys has an idea on how to resolve them? 1) Is there a way to display the ETOPS fuel and time like this? I find that only <&EROPSFuel> is available, I can't find any operator for the resulting time. Zitieren FUEL TIME ETOPS XTRA 0 0000 2) Can I display an Enroute Alternate when I'm planning with one, and have it say "N/A" when not? Like this: Zitieren NOMINATED ERA EIDW or: Zitieren NOMINATED ERA N/A 3) ETOPS related...is there a way to compress the ETOPS results that PFPX gives, and add in the bold items? This is how it should end up: Zitieren -------------------------------------------------------------------- ETOPS SUMMARY -------------------------------------------------------------------- ETOPS ENTRY (CYYT) N5046.7 W04311.8 TIME 0242 ETOPS EXIT (EINN) N5258.2 W02030.2 TIME 0431 -------------------------------------------------------------------- DIST TIME W/C ICE CFR FOB COND ETP1 CYYT/BIKF 780/813 0212 H013/T002 1571 14665 15983 DX 0328 N5144.3 W03338.6 ETP2 BIKF/EIDW 691/692 0150 T013/T012 1305 12180 13125 DX 0407 N5234.1 W02525.0 ETP3 CYYT/BIKF 774/816 0238 H013/T001 1214 13350 16041 DC 0327 N5143.4 W03348.6 ETP4 BIKF/EIDW 691/692 0210 T013/T012 995 10945 13125 DC 0407 N5234.1 W02525.0 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- ADDITIONAL EROPS FUEL WITH ICING COND: 0 NON-ICING CORRECTION: 0 (IF NO ICING COND ANTICIPATED, N.I.C. MAY BE SUBTRACTED FROM PLNTOF) --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- E T O P S (138 MIN) ENRTE ALTNS (WX/NOTAM SUITABILITY PERIOD) CYYT (1514-1924) BIKF (1659-1937) EIDW (1713-1937) --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- CLEARANCES RVSM ALT CHK --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- this is what I have so far: Zitieren -------------------------------------------------------------------- ETOPS SUMMARY -------------------------------------------------------------------- ETOPS ENTRY (CYYT) N4037.4 W07347.1 TIME 0001 ETOPS EXIT (CYYT) N4637.2 W06418.3 TIME 0108 ETOPS ENTRY (CYYT) N5053.7 W04140.6 TIME 0252 ETOPS EXIT (EIDW) N5252.1 W02201.9 TIME 0420 -------------------------------------------------------------------- DIST TIME W/C ICE CFR FOB COND ETP1 CYYT/BIKF 642/890 0220 H084/T025 9643 13643 1X 0312 N5121.4 W03719.1 ETP1 CYYT/BIKF 760/824 0250 H015/T008 10655 12807 DX 0326 N5141.4 W03411.4 ETP1 CYYT/BIKF 762/823 0243 H015/T008 11449 12797 DC 0326 N5141.6 W03409.0 ETP2 BIKF/EIDW 705/735 0153 T019/T032 7769 10751 1X 0400 N5226.7 W02634.0 ETP2 BIKF/EIDW 698/716 0222 T012/T014 8927 10616 DX 0402 N5230.2 W02602.5 ETP2 BIKF/EIDW 698/715 0217 T012/T015 9643 10612 DC 0402 N5230.2 W02601.7 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- ADDITIONAL EROPS FUEL WITH ICING COND: 0 [added as placeholder] NON-ICING CORRECTION: 0 [added as placeholder] (IF NO ICING COND ANTICIPATED, N.I.C. MAY BE SUBTRACTED FROM PLNTOF) --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- 4) That might be a first as far as PFPX feature requests are concerned but...is it possible to include the True Airspeed to an Alternate? The OFP I'm recreating has this section: Zitieren 1ST ALT: EGPH/EDI EGNX TNT2N TNT UN57 POL UN601 INPIP INPIP1E EGPH TRT 339 DIST 0237 N445 FL360 W/C P009 FUEL/TIME 3112+0/0.41 5) Is it possible to change the header when exporting the OFP as PDF? PFPX defaults to: "ABC123 KJFK-EGLL (02-Feb-2021) #1", I would like it to read: "AB 123/02 FEB/JFK-LHR" 6) For the section where the effect of lower altitudes on trip fuel are displayed: Can I have PFPX show the resulting new trip fuel on a lower flight level, instead of just the difference? "ONE FL BELOW TIME 0607 BURNOFF 33000" instead of "ONE FL BELOW TIME 0607 BURNOFF P150" Looking forward to your suggestions, thank you all very much in advance!

VHOJT 57 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi mate, 1) No, I don't think there is any field to get EROPS time. 2) Again, don't think so. 3) Not that I can tell. You'd have to leave the field blank, calcualte with/without antice and add in manually after you've released the OFP in a text editor. 4) Don't think possible. 5) Not sure. 6) No. A lot of these things you've mentioned I give a quick tweak in Word or some other text editor after releasing. Cheers, Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willibird_753 19 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hiya, glad to hear back from you Rudy, I've always appreciated your effort and expertise with the Qantas and BA templates! Judging from your input, I've pretty much used all the options PFPX gives to their full potential with my template here, anything more would have to be done outside PFPX. Good to know!

VHOJT 57 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Yeah I think you have used the options up. With so so many different types between all the airlines, it is difficult to get everything exactly the same - I definitely found that with the QF ones - lots of unusual fields. Thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your OFP and don't forget to upload it when you're done haha It looks a bit DLHish?? Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy Weil, you just need to switch two letters around actually - it's the LIDO format used by the DHL group in its European AOCs And yes, I've found that PFPX is in parts closely tied to a EASA and LIDO form of displaying data, working with the template made me realize the challenges one might face with a totally different fuel policy regulation, for example. I think I should be able to upload it later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
