This cost index database will help you to find the best cost index to use for your virtual flights depending on the airline and aircraft type. This database is currently available as a downloadable PDF but a dynamic database is currently under construction and will soon be fully functional lower on this page.

The primary way to influence these speeds is by selecting a different cost index. The cost index to choose is usually selected by the airline. A lower cost index results in less fuel burn, but longer flight time, and vice versa.
25 kwi 2016 · The cost index is a number used in the Flight Management System (FMS) to optimize the aircraft's speed. It gives the ratio between the unit cost of time and the unit cost of fuel. With this number, and knowledge about the aircraft's performance, it is possible to calculate the optimal speed for the aircraft, which results in the lowest total cost.
- the higher the flight level, the higher the ECON Mach, - the higher the aircraft gross weight, the higher the ECON Mach. ¶ Typical cost indexes. Let's get through some typical CI examples. It will help to make flight planning more precise and accurate. Regarding IVAO, it's clear that the CI concept is something left out of consideration.
introduction : cost index definition and determination The fundamental rationale of the cost index concept is to achieve minimum trip cost by means of a trade-off between operating costs per hour and incremental fuel burn.
27 sty 2021 · What is a Cost Index (CI) on aircraft and how do airlines use them to reduce costs? What factors are considered when deciding on the best Cost Index?
Entering zero for the cost index results in maximum range airspeed and minimum trip fuel. Entering the maximum value for cost index results in a minimum time speed schedule. * Minimum climb contribution to trip fuel; this is different from minimum fuel to cruise altitude.
