Hey guys, what about the LPC or the glamorous lap top with performance calculation? Absolutely gorgeous tool.
Old Smokey, totally agree. I think it'd be the best to incorporate the whole thing into FMC and basta. However as mentioned by OZON the data doesn't contain the amendments published in the NOTAM. I recall last departure out of LGW in the eastern direction where protruding obstacles, such as planes tails parked at northern apron something like up to 237 ft at 0,8 NM from the apron (not sure about the figure) were stated in the NOTAM, ergo the only way to consider that one is to insert it into the obstacle data. Not sure, if chart would have done it especially while RWY just changed during taxi. Consequently after changing the RWY data (obstacles added) the FLEX changed from F54 to F50 and flaps 1+F of course. The whole calculation took about 2 min. Anyone had similar experience?
Cheers.
