the dash 8 has a empty weight of 17042 kg and a Dry Operation Mass (18434 kg = standard)

if you put say 76 passengers into the plane (=6446 kg) and for instance 750 kg cargo, then your ZFW is 25628 kg

this are the weights i almost use every flight.. calculate the fuel and your flight plan with this weights in pfpx. then you load the plane via the control panel and then put in the values into the fmc.. thats it..

But how I setup the PFPX profile for Q400? How I enter the DOM? And how to match the passenger weights in PFPX and the Control Panel?

Option 1: just type in the ZFW when planning the Flight under Payload

Option 2: Empty Weight Dash in PFPX 17042kg;

75 adults á 84 kg 1 child á 16 kg; Baggage per passenger 20kg; Cargo 750kg

equals ZFW 25628 kg
