Hi Dave,
Next time you fly the Merchantman could you please copy the Briefing Document before departure so we can compare against the Flight Report post flight. If it shows discrepancy again we can report it as a bug on FlyNET forum.
Many thanks
John

The briefing document looks wrong to me.
This is one I've just booked for a 1-11 500...
These are the numbers on FlyNet for 1-11 500
Passenger Capacity 109
Cruise Speed 400 kt
Dry Operating Weight 24758 kg
Max Zero Fuel Weight 36741 kg
Max Take Off Weight 47400 kg
Cargo Capacity 11984 kg
The 'T' is certainly supposed to be tonnes, 'ZFW T' is about there, but the pax & cargo just don't show right here.
Recent 1-11 500 flights all get Cargo $ : 2369, Cargo : 865 kg (0.9 T?)
And 109 (pax) x 102 (average pax weight) = 11118 kg (11.1 T)

Hi DM..
I managed to get my briefing doc and send it to John over MSN.. who in turn passed it straight to Konny. The calculation on the briefing doc were incorrect and have now been fixed. Next flight you book.. you will see a further allowance for baggage (this was previously included as cargo!).
This change has only been made in the last few mins so I don't know if it will apply to flights already booked. Have a looksee just in case it's changed

Hi,
Yep this problem with the Briefing Document has been sorted very quickly by Konny. I've posted in the 'FlyNET info' forum so that it doesn't get buried within this thread.

Thanks chaps.
It now looks like this...
Much better, although I'd suggest that ZFW is missing a bit.
I'd expect it to be 36.7 or 36.8 T (if you're adding the rounded figures up)
DM
edit - Looking closer ZFW is obviously missing the new 2.2 baggage. Konny may well be in the middle of fixing it.
If it's still broke in a few hours give him a prod.

Hi DM,
Looks like Konny has missed off the baggage in the calc. I've 'nudged' him tks.
