Surely something is wrong here. At my company we use a CI of 15 on the 757/767 if we're on-time, 350 if late. I was using 15 and my ECON speed seemed just too high. The OFP predicted one of .787 and the plane was giving me .80
To test I entered a bunch of cost indexes to see if it'd react realistically, it did not. When I entered a lower cost index of 0, it gave me a higher cruise speed! :o then it wouldn't even give a higher speed until I threw in 5000.
Also, not sure why with the CI of 0 the ECON speed changes from MACH to IAS?!
And why is the ACT ECON CRZ turning into ACT LIM SPD CRZ with any higher cost index than 35?
I understand what the maximum entries for the 767 cost index, but the results are different than what they were before the last few hotfixes.
