A-320 Flap Track Fairing
Hi! This info from AFM
• Performance: The following performance penalties are applicable: ‐ Takeoff and approach climb performance limiting weights are reduced by 1 180 kg (2 601 lb) ‐ En route performance limiting weight is reduced by 1 620 kg (3 571 lb) ‐ Fuel consumption is increased by 3.14 %. Can any one tell me what does it mean 'En route performance''? Does it mean ZFW? |
Why would it mean zero fuel weight? That is not related to en-route performance in any way. I would assume it would be related to any enroute performance charts such as drift down, max cruise altitude, etc.
|
Interesting.But how correlate weight with drift down, max cruise altitude?
|
I don't have a320 manuals so I don't know specifics, it's just an educated guess. I do know it has nothing to do with the ZFW which is a structural limit.
|
Tatarin:
what about increasing the real mass of the day with the penalty addendum, and only thence enter the charts / tables? |
Enroute performance limiting weight is decided by terrain clearance requirement enroute. Drift down altitude will decide the limit weight which will be reduced by the said amount.
|
Thanks a lot for answers!
