Denti,
A full AFM for a large aircraft has never been made available for crews, as far as I know, so you are dependent on the extracts of data provided to you.

I once saw the complete performance data for a B747-200/300 from the AFM --- just the performance data -- which is the largest section of the whole.

I don't know exactly how many volumes there were, in the then Boeing standard US A4 sheets, in a binder about 3 inches thick, but it covered a whole wall that I would guess as about 3-4M wide, and about 1M high --- must have been 50 volumes.

I was glad to leave the detail to the company performance engineers.

The more I look into this, the more of a technolegal quagmire it becomes.

The idea is good, the execution is ????? pick your own description.

Tootle pip!!
