Question 70-1 : Concerning the fms flight management system entering a high cost index results in ? [ Exam pilot ]

Question 70-2 : Concerning the fms flight management system entering a cost index of zero results in ?

Maximum range airspeed.

Cost index is the ratio of time related costs crew salaries maintenance etc to fuel cost as one of the independent variables in the speed schedule computation cost index ci = flight time related costfuel cost the cost index allows airlines to weight time and fuel costs based on their daily operationsa high cost index will result in a high cruising speeda cost index of zero results in minimum trip fuel you will fly at 'maximum range airspeed' cost index is about fuel cost not quantitycost index is a made up figure which when input into the fmc is used to calculate econ speed the higher the cost index number the faster the aircraft flies basically the company decides on the cost of keeping the aircraft in the air and includes all sorts of costs such as crew aircraft operating costs fuel etc they then decide whether they want the aircraft to fly faster or slower and adjust the cost index as needed
