Calculation software CI OPS

for aeronautics

On aircraft equipped with an FMS that does not support cost index, cost-effective flying is left precariously up to the skill and experience of the flight crew. EFB application Pacelab CI OPS enables operators of regional and legacy aircraft to consistently harness the full potential of cost index operations, one of the few remaining "big-ticket items" of fuel efficiency. Pacelab CI OPS allows pilots to determine the most economical speeds and altitudes for the current flight conditions and planned arrival time based on highly accurate aircraft performance data. Off-the-shelf versions are available for all major regional aircraft types including Bombardier CRJ, BAe Avro RJ and Embraer E-Jets. Calculates full and partial ECON trajectories taking into account cost index, planned in-block time, CG, wind, DISA, GW and other key factors Calculates the most economical descent path of the flight profile Evaluates and ranks alternative trajectories to identify next-best solutions Permits variable cost indices and dynamically adjusts the CI value within the limits of a specified range Uses first-principles or best available performance data Supports pilot-friendly, use-case based approach Provides add-on module for onboard flight monitoring
