A359 climb performance - Too slow climb


Recommended Posts

Posted (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

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.

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.

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.
