Cathay boeing onboard performance tool?
Hello all,
Could any 747-4/8 guys or gals tell me if you are using this tool for take off performance calculations or if you getting through acars? Im building a sim based on cx 744 so if anybody could help.
Cheers

ACARS, but the Boeing OPT is in beta phase you could say, not approved as yet but being used for familiarisation.

Well GL most certainly hasn’t stood up for the pilots en mass or individually , he would put his arm around your shoulder one day. Then slip the blade into your back the next if so directed . Totally 2 faced

I can hardly be described to be a boot licker.... far from it. And as to why he is in his current position a failure to agree to 2 SO long haul and other suggested wacky crew complements had a fair bit to do with it.
Talk about thread drift. No wonder most outsiders think we’re t&ssers.

Give you a break ? And you’re obviously God’s noblest of men and would do it better ? I’ve seen a fair few CP’s and Fleet Managers come and go. And believe me, he was streets ahead of the rest of them.

How many have you known. ? Last count was 10.
Anway, a petty argument at best. And you know what they
say about opinions and anuses. ?
To answer the OP’s question.
747-8. Stil using ACARS perf for RTOW and LDA. Boeing in house iPad based app still in Beta mode. I believe they are running them against each other.
Airbus. Flysmart ( Airbus propriety performance app ) either via a/c OIS or iPad. With the usual CX tweeks of crse . E Qrh in the pipeline. Likely that A330 will always retain at least one paper copy of the QRH due to KA feedback. E perf for
crz info etc also imminent. ACARS RTOW and web RTOW etc stil available for the time being.
EFB ) think electronic CFP now running on all flights with paper fallback if required.
Out of the two, product B perf tool strikes me as slightly more robust.

What a great thread. I was looking for an excuse to get more beer and popcorn.
