Hi
Quid, how’s it going?
I delved into the bottom of the broom closet to find a DC8-72 AFM with CFM-56 engines. I found charts which give VMC limited weights and speeds under the headings “COLD WET ICE” and WET DRY”. To the best of my knowledge these charts are unique to that aircraft.
I checked out a B707 AFM which is from the same era, they only have dry VMCG, as does the 737-200/747/757/777.
I then checked to see if it was a MDD way of presenting things, but once again they only have dry VMCG for the MD90 and MD11.
Do you know if this information is also available for the DC8 equipped with the older engines? Or is it specific to the high powered CFM’s?
We are presently working on a program which will predict which engine will fail, presently on the 777 we have a 50% success factor………
