Payload & Fuel Planner

v1.0

Overview The planner was created to (hopefully) accurately fill the aircraft with virtual passengers, plan the fuel needs of the route and configure the fuel load between the aircraft's tanks. It organizes the information in such a way to ease entering the data into FS2004 prior to the flight. The spreadsheet utilizes month, day and time information to calculate the number of passengers that will be on the flight. There are some modifiers built into the equation to adjust for the travel season and time. For example, Entering Route Information For the planner to properly work, you will need to first enter some flight information. You will be prompted by a highlighted cell and a blue airplane to the right of the cell. Date - mm/dd/yy format Departure Time - 24/hour format Leg Distance - Distance of flight in nm. Enroute Time - Total projected flight time. Flight Direction - General direction you will be flying in. Flt Level - Can be selected from the drop-down menu. The options available will be affected by the Flight Boarding the Flight Once all of the primary information is entered, you may click on the "Begin Boarding" Button. This function will not work until all of the primary information is entered. After a few seconds, you will notice that the aircraft layout below will be updated with the passengers. The number of passengers is shown in the "Passenger Information" box to the left of the layout. To the far right is the "Payload Configuration" box. This information is based on the passenger number and average weights. It takes into account the passenger's individual weight, carry-on luggage Payload Information and Fuel Configuration After the flight is boarded, you will be prompted to enter the amount of fuel you would like to load. In the "Payload Information" box, you can see a suggested fuel load. This number is based on the total weight of the aircraft, flight level and fuel burn rate. The figure also includes the indicated base fuel load. Enter the desired amount of fuel you would like to use for the flight in the highlighted cell. The desired fuel load will then be loaded into the separate tanks. The configuration can be viewed in the "Fuel Configuration" box. The Data Card By selecting the "Data Card" tab, you will see all of the information from the planner formatted into a "printer friendly" format. The load information is organized in such a way to make it easier to enter the data into FS2004. In Closing I hope that you find this spreadsheet useful and enjoy using it. I feel that there is always room for improvement and will release updates whenever necessary. I also encourage users to let me know what you think or tell me of Acknowledgements Fuel Burn information in this spreadsheet is based on the information as shown in the "Delta Virtual Airlines Bombardier Canadair CRJ-200 Operating Manual - 3rd Edition" written by Chad Thomas and Luke Kolin.
