Is there a possibility to install some sort of FMC that would tailor all the a/p and throttle responses to a lower operating cost? Or am I talking out of my ass now...

I'm guessing the F27 doesn't have any sort of FMC, so could this possibly be a good option to install one?

But most importantly, is there any relatively easy formula to calculate DOC? I googled it but all the ones I have come across so far seem complex in that I wouldn't know the value of some of the variables.

Is there a way of doing this without touching a complex equation? i.e just say that maintenance savings = something and more efficient operation can be estimated as = something, hence the saving over X amount of hours = something? Or is this a bit daft?
