ASSUNTO: Lido OFP – Flight Operations System

Introduction

This document provides information concerning features of “LIDO OFP” flight planning system and related
TAP Virtual Policy.

The decoding of the Operational Flight Plan (OFP) is detailed in the following chapter.

Operational Flight Plan

The following pages show an example of OFP using the Reduced Contingency Fuel Procedure, followed
by the respective decoding.

depending on calculation as follows:
1 standard calculation (no ETOPS, no DPP): OFP Number
1/0/1 OFP with ETOPS calculation (no DPP):
OFP Number/DPP Number (in this case zero)/ ETOPS Number
1/1 OFP with DPP calculation (no ETOPS): OFP Number/DPP Number

Estimated Time of Departure, Estimated Time of Arrival
Calculated Take-Off Time, Estimated Take-Off Time, Estimated Landing Time

3 - Cruise Information:
Cost index (kg/min),
Route ID: Company Route ID or Optimization policy:
MCT/R Minimum Cost Track
MTT/R Minimum Time Track
MFT/R Minimum Fuel Track
MDT/R Minimum Distance Track
Ground distance (NM),
Speed: VRBL (Variable), IAS (kt), or MACH (x1000)
Note: in Fixed MACH airspace, OFP at Cost Index considers an optimized fixed Mach,
which is the average optimum Mach for ECON Speed within the fixed Mach segment of
the route, but label VRBL is displayed.
Average Fuel Flow (kg/h), including climb and descent.
Average wind component (kt): M Headwind, P Tailwind
Take-Off Alternate ICAO Code, if applicable; otherwise dotted line is displayed.

4 - Weights (Maximum and planned values):

Fuel On Board, Load, Zero Fuel Weight, Landing Weight, Take-Off Weight

5 - This block of the OFP is only shown when Reduced Contingency Fuel (RCF) procedure is used (DPP
stands for Decision Point Procedure). It shows the fuel required to proceed from the Decision Point
(DP) to the commercial destination (destination1) and from the DP to the refuel destination (destina-
tion2). Note that fuel for ETOPS scenarios is accounted for in both cases.

First cruising level and ATC routing description from DP to destination2;

For more detailed information concerning RCF Procedure, please refer to OM(A) 8.1.7.1.2.

6 - Remarks: Remarks inserted by the dispatcher, and Last minute Extra Fuel at Commanders discretion.
Other Remarks.

7 - Fuel (kg) and Time (HHMM) Data, considering Basic Procedure, ref. OM(A) 8.1.7.1.1:

Alternate, Final Reserve, ETOPS, Holding over Destination, Additional Fuel,
Take Off Fuel, Taxi Fuel, Fuel On Board

Note: if RCF is used, FOB will be taken from block 10

8 - Delta ZFW and FL Below Data

Corrections to planned Take-Off fuel per 1000 kg deviation of Zero Fuel Weight (plus/minus).

Corrections to PLNTOF and Trip Time for One Flight Level Below. This is a simplified calculation con-
sidering 2000ft below the OFP, regardless on the actually flown airspace (RVSM, non-RVSM, metric,
etc.). No check is performed in order to confirm that this FL is flyable.
The aim of this one-flight level below information is just to give the crew additional information con-
cerning the fuel consumption in case of flying a bit lower (e.g. if the main profile goes just above jet
stream then such additional calculation will warn the crew that flying lower means significantly different
wind conditions).”

Example:
If the main profile goes on FL250 in the first part and FL270 in the second part, then the one-FL-below
calculation (fuel, time, weights, etc.) will be triggered based on the profile FL230 and FL250 respec-
tively but there is no check if those FL230 and FL250 can be really flown there (in respect of restric-
tions, MEA, RVSM/CVSM rules, semicircular rule, whatever).

9 - Tankering Information: Gain/Loss in USD per ton of tankering fuel.

formation provided is similar to block 7. On the left side is the data for destination1 via DP, and on the
right side, the data for destination2 via DP.

to 5000 ft; 2000 ft clearance where the highest terrain is 5001 ft and above). The area of
consideration is defined on the basis of an area extending 10 NM to each side of the route
centerline and including a 10 NM radius beyond the from- and to- points of the segment.

23 - ICAO Flight Plan

Performance Factor
The PERF value displayed at the top of OFP is the actual Specific Range degradation for the concerned
aircraft:

A319 TTG
PERF 2.0

This correction must be applied to the fuel consumption values derived from performance tables in FCOM,
to account for aircraft drag and engine performance deviation from the nominal model. This is also the cor-
rection being considered in the flight plan calculations.

As described in FCOM 1.22.20, the PERF FACTOR for FMGS is derived from the above value by applying
an additional correction which varies with the engine model and FMS type (-4.5% in this example), to allow
the FMGS fuel predictions to match the actual fuel burnt.
