LineDX Posted Monday at 02:41 PM Posted Monday at 02:41 PM (edited) Hi guys, is it normal for A359 to take almost 300nm to climb to FL410. OPKC-OPIS total distance is 667nm. Full pax load, 13 tons of fuel, Enrt windows calm, Enrt ISA +05. Is it a normal climb performance for a modern airliner? after FL200 it is climbing at 800ft/min to 500ft/min at THR DCLB. even THR CLB makes a very little difference. Simbrief OFP shows TOC in 145nm whereas ini a350 taking 300nm to TOC. Please share your thoughts and experience on it. BTW using FS2024 SU3. Regards Edited Monday at 02:43 PM by LineDX
Matthias0412 Posted Monday at 05:52 PM Posted Monday at 05:52 PM had a similar experience on a A35K from Doha to JFK with a TOW of around 310t. Climbed too slow and couldn't even reach the optimum ALT indicated in the FMS... I really think the ini team needs to work on aircraft performance. 1
Transair Posted yesterday at 05:47 AM Posted yesterday at 05:47 AM (edited) yes must admit the 350 climbs VERY slowly.....not sure how normal this is.. Edited yesterday at 05:48 AM by Transair
LineDX Posted yesterday at 03:19 PM Author Posted yesterday at 03:19 PM Just did a test flight in colder temps. YVR-YYC.. climb performance looks good. In warmer temps, seems like slow climb is due to higher temps BUT still it should not be 400-800ft/min even with light loads. Team ini please review the climb performance in warmer temps. Regards
GAJ52 Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Haven't noticed this before but just did a flight from Abu Dhabi to Heathrow in the A35K. The weight was 237,500 kgs, TAT was +26c at FL160 and the Climb rate was 800ft/min. This definitely needs looking at. I flew the B747-200 on this route in the Real World and it was definitely way beyond this climb rate.
