heffron91 26 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 You have to plan the flight with a certain CI. When setting up your flightplan, you can enter a CI number in the Cruise/Cost Index field under the Aircraft tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabio Anzalone 1 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Is not possibile to add in the next version the possibilty to choose the Cost Index? For example Easyjet use 5 or 12, Alitalia use 7, Ryanair use 6...the only chance is (expecially for airbus) to set LRC or 0.78 but is not close to realty....

You can use it now, just type in the CI instead of selecting LRC or 0.78... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio Anzalone 1 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 You can use it now, just type in the CI instead of selecting LRC or 0.78... It isn't possible..you can't write there. You can only choose between LRC or M0.78 nothing else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLRK 2 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Fabio, I use cost index with PFPX without a problem. It has been implemented for all the Boeings, but not the Airbuses yet. FlightSimSoft says they will soon add the airbuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, first person I've heard that can't type there. When I'm planning a flight I just click on the box and start type 35 or something and it'll come up as CI 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilme861 1 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It doesn't for me either... Does the box show "Cruise" or "Cruise/Cost Index"? Cost Index can obviously only be typed in for the one that says "Cruise/Cost Index" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calimhiro 1 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Cost Index is not something that is calculated but something that decided by the airline. Mathijs, some real flightplanning software (like Jetplanner) is able to automatically calculate cost index. You have to feed the databases with fuel prices at departure and arrival airports, and with the total flight cost (fixed cost).

divemaster08 9 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Ok, so if I have planned a B772LR flight into the system, from KMIA-OMDB. Where would it show me my cost index if I left it in LRC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get a cost index since you are using LRC. Since PFPX plans a climb and descent speed (250/320/.84 on the climb if I remember right and .84/320/250 on the descent) the only thing the cost index would impact is the cruise speed. However, you are choosing to run with LRC instead so the cost index you type in the FMC is useless as you're overriding all the speeds. If you want to use a cost index speed, you have to enter in the cost index you want instead of LRC in PFPX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronis 0 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi, Because a little confused , I am flying with B737-700 of IFLY and usually entering as cost index 50 or 60 in the FMC of the aircraft . I want to ask you in the PFPX in field Cruise/Cost Index I leave it as is or must change as number 50 or 60 ...e.t.c.? https://www.dropbox.com/s/xhcha7rox9ponac/COSTONDEX.JPG Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.Fatih KOZ 3 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Chronis , just put the cost index you want to PFPX Aircraft Editor --> Default Speed Schecule section ... That's all , then you can compile a flight plan with that value , so your flight plan and FMC will have the same values . Safe flights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcars 23 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hello: To clarify some confusion on how to enter the cost index. As pointed out above. The aircraft template must have been created with support for Cost Index ( all PFPX B737 variants have this) You can see this in the title over the field Cruise/Cost Index. Next, the field has a drop down, but it also accepts numeric values, so to enter a cost index value, type in the number ( eg 14 ) without the CI. PFPX will add the CI prefix. If you don't want to enter the value each time, you can edit the Aircraft file and put in the Cost Index value you want to use as a default. ( Note: It can still be overridden) The attached files are screen shots to show where/how to enter a value for the Plan and in the Aircraft file.
