A320 / A330 / A340 Families – Optimum Mach Number
The following appendix exemplifies how the Optimum Mach Number is presented in FCOM tables versus cost index (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500kg/min) altitude and wind as calculated by the FMGC. The examples here pertain to the A340-313E and are found in FCOM 3.05.15 pages 1 thru 5.
Cruise tables are established :
- for ISA, ISA + 10, ISA + 15 and ISA + 20
- with normal air conditioning and anti-ice off
-
from FL 290 to FL 410 at M 0.80, 0.82 and 0.84
-
from FL 100 to FL 410 at long range speed
- with a 30% center of gravity below 2500ft and a 37% center of gravity at higher altitudes.
