the RTA page is more likely to be used in this case , no?
- if you wish. Personal choice as always. I was merely trying to work out what the poster wanted in terms of CI.
Personally I have always just flown the a/c like wot we done before FMCs and not messed with RTA much, nor CI.
Good find, Douglas - on a quick look there is in fact a suggestion that the CI scale for an a/c type is fixed and it would appear that a given CI on a given type would produce the same speeds. However, as I stated earlier and abenk will see, the actual CI used its totally AIRLINE dependent and of little use to another operator (except in knowing who is going to delay you.:))

That's exactly what Boeing says:
CI is defined as time cost (~ $/hr) divided by Fuel cost (~ cents/lb)
Both are not fixed values but variable costs which means that they must be individual to different airlines as the CI must/should be...
