Noticed on a test flight.
FOB: 15tons
Will reach TOC approx after 250nm ... climbing only with 400-500 ft/min....
Same in Open Climb.
With V/S theres no problem to climb with 1500 ft/min or more.

Re: VNAV CLimb
Yes, this is happening to me too. After passing 20,000 feet, it starts to climb without wanting to reach cruise, between 900, 800 and 600 FPM, climbing very slowly.

Re: VNAV CLimb
In this case, when it starts to behave like this, I set the IAS to 270 knots until cruising. It tends to run more.RicardoVitor wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 4:59 pmYes, this is happening to me too.

Re: VNAV CLimb
The A330 is a good initial climber, after FL200 upwards its kind of slow depending on weight and weather. Usually a long haul flight takes from 30 to 35 minutes to reach cruise altitudes.

Re: VNAV CLimb
I think this may be adequate if he rises to something around 270 IAS. Honestly, as it is, it is rising very slowly, almost stopping. Now if you climb at 270 IAS it climbs very comfortably up to cruising altitude. One question Ricardo, is the Coast Index simulated in the LVFR system?RicardoLVFR wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 5:20 pmThe A330 is a good initial climber, after FL200 upwards its kind of slow depending on weight and weather.
