[@friedchicken1]

Where can I find my landing altitude on the flight plan? I mean the destination airport elevation (I use SimBrief for my plans) I can't seem to find that info anywhere on the plan.

[@ThePlaneGuy]

I just use Navigraph and look on the airport chart.

[@benmcmillen5604]

Where do you find your cruise speed?

[@ThePlaneGuy]

Where it says stuff like .71

[@lewisRyan2]

which airline is this ofp ?

[@pelinelden]

I wanna ask a something,at 25:27minutes you're saying the FL027 twenty seven thousound feet but is that a twenty seven hundred ? If you answered it i'd appreciate it :)

[@ThePlaneGuy]

no I meant 2700ft. Good spot.

[@pelinelden]

@@ThePlaneGuy thanks a lot

[@johnjoe106]

Thank you

[@Kevin_60927]

Can I use it for flight plan?I would like to use flight plan,and SIGWX for weather information.

[@ThePlaneGuy]

yeah you can use it for that.

[@Kevin_60927]

@@ThePlaneGuy Thank you for reply,This video let me know that what are the meaning in flight plan.This video is useful.

[@esaytrans1120]

can you please define the way points and airways from the route

[@ThePlaneGuy]

I’m not sure what you mean ?

[@chard6649]

Thanks

[@techmonster2632]

I cant see any CG Centre of gravity and flex temp

[@ThePlaneGuy]

Yeah… there not on the OFP.

[@Kevin_60927]

I use fsx default plane.I don't have fmc,so I can't used it in fsx?

[@ThePlaneGuy]

You dont need an fmc to use flight plans. You should be familar how to fly IFR.

[@mrkillerbunny-m6317]

where do i see cost index?

[@BOMBER404]

The cost index is on the top right of the first page next to CRZ SYS then CI 5

[@gabrielakira9908]

How can i see cost index ?

[@ThePlaneGuy]

cost index is "CI" top right, first page in LIDO format.

[@gabrielakira9908]

@@ThePlaneGuy for me is write M.(number)

[@ThePlaneGuy]

@@gabrielakira9908 Im not sure what you are talking about. CRZ SYS CI 5. Thats the cost index.

[@gabrielakira9908]

@@ThePlaneGuy yeah , in the place CI 5 in your video for me is write M.74

[@ThePlaneGuy]

@@gabrielakira9908 right, that will be your mach number. Are you using simbreif ?

[@pbr2805]

FINRES: Is final reserve fuel.

[@1Miguellima]

You mentioned that METAR lasts 24 hours , but its updated every 60 minutes

[@ThePlaneGuy]

Well I never. I never said a METAR lasts 24 hours. I was trying to say that it is in 24 hours clock. BTW METAR are updated every 30 mins not 60 mins here.

[@1Miguellima]

In minute 30-32 , you mentioned , is valid from the 0518 / 0618 its a 24 hours, this got me confused. By the way, I like very much the video

[@ThePlaneGuy]

@@1Miguellima yeah Its just the way I speak may, it can be confusing. Sorry you found it to be like so. I was reffering to the 24 hour clock.

[@Megabites46]

25:22 86,000 Feet? Really? I haven't really tried going above 40,000 Feet

[@Triniswe]

I think he said it wrong. I think he meant 8600 ft

[@eardylan5049]

once I accidentally printed 3 51 page flight plans.

[@ThePlaneGuy]

Lol I have done that before. But its quite normal in real life for airlines to do that. It costs a fortune.

[@jamesbrancopratt3820]

Finres = Final Reserve Fuel :) Now you know!

[@haroonsultan1312]

Have you thought of being a trainer? You r good.

[@ThePlaneGuy]

Well... IRL I do a lot of training ( teaching )

Acr-on-yms: Break down the word in syllables so you can pronounce it.

[@pito2531]

Hello can you do AAL OFP can't understand the AirLine OFP

[@ThePlaneGuy]

I’m not to familiar with American style OFP. If you having trouble reading the, this is what I suggest you do. Go to simbreif.com and select LIDO in OFP layout. This will look the same as mine. Should be a lot easier to read.

[@hovikabrahamian3801]

That's better instead of TALKING TOO MUCH, AT LIST, use FMC meantime you show on paper, that will be a more POSITIVE result THAN TALK TOO MUCH AND MAKE BORD. AND USELESS...

[@drug2]

Where do i see the Crusing Speed?

[@ThePlaneGuy]

It’s the Mach number next on the columns beside the waypoints.
