Flight
To plan your flight, please ensure that the airline code, flight number,
origin and destination airports are correctly specified. PFPX automatical-
ly selects the optimum runways based on reported wind conditions.
The Taxi In and Out fields are average times required to taxi from the
parking position to the runway and vice versa. These values can be ma-
nually altered or configured in the Program configuration window (refer
to page 11- Program Options).
Verify your Type of flight (Scheduled, Non-Scheduled, General Aviation,
Military or Other), Type of operation (Domestic, International, Long Ran-
ge or Other). These settings have effect on the standard passenger and
cargo weights used for payload calculation.
Enter the date and time of your flight. If a delay occurs and the estima-
ted time of departure (ETD) is different to the scheduled time of depar-
ture (STD), affirm that the ETD is correct.
The estimated en route time (EET) and estimated time of arrival (ETA) is
calculated automatically and can be adjusted as required.
