Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted September 5, 2013 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 5, 2013 Flightlevel? Winds? Taxi time? Holding time? Contingency fuel? final reserve? ... You know what I mean? Based on your information and not knowing other relevant numbers, the cargo load might be something between 5.000 and 10.000 kg.

solomon123 0 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hi Mopperle, I thank you very much for your quick response. This is based on a real life situation and the 2 airports are Colombo (Sri Lanka) and Gan (Maldives). My father and I are trying to use this in a costing. I will get back to you with the information in about 8 hours. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solomon123 0 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hi Mopperle, Flightlevel = FL350 Winds = ZERO Taxi time = 15 MINUTES (7.5 MINUTES AT BOTH ENDS) Holding time = 45 MINUTES Contingency fuel = 60 MINUTES (CLOSEST ALTERNATE IS 300 Nm) Final reserve= 105 MINUTES The following site may be of assistance to you - http://planes.findthebest.com/l/231/Airbus-A321 Your assistance in solving the above is greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted September 6, 2013 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 6, 2013 Sorry, no suggestions for a real life situation. This is a flightsimulator forum. If you want valid, real world data ask a professional dispatcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
