Since as a pilot we cannot reach NET FLIGHT info or enroute limited weight values because it is not available for us (as I mentioned above paragraphs), the above quotation becomes void. I mean "reduce actual weight by the amount stated in the CDL" becomes void. There is no meaning of reducing the actual weight by amount of penalty Suppose our initial Actual TO weight before CDL was 200 t, so what should we do with CDL? Off loading payload by penalty? No way!
The penalty amount should be reduced from Enroute Limiting Weight, but There is no info about that in our hand.
As example A 330 CDL 57-04 FLAP TRACK FAIRING missing penalties
- Fuel consumption is increased by 3.42 %.
- Enroute performance Limiting Weight is reduced by 5 240 kg (11 553 lb)
First one is crystal clear : Example new trip fuel = TRIP FUEL x 1.0342
Second one is not clear: 5240 Kg? To subtract from which value? We do not know that. To find this value, we need the software mentioned in AFM and Route Obstacle Information.
I hope now you understand.
Yes I understand that
you cannot do it because the pilots at your company do not have the information to hand. Nonetheless it remains a fact that knowing how to check your enroute climb limit weight is required knowledge for professionals. Your dependence on a third party to do those calculations is no answer to the question posed by this thread.
