I've tried to enter some of these values into FSXPilot for the MD-11 I
have, and I'm having trouble landing with it. First of all, the
minimum speed according to the data on this site is 240 knots. When
FSXPilot does the approach, it goes to 150 knots, which, I checked the
IAS when it did, it was 149 knots, and stalls.
So, in conclusion, I'm still baffled with which data to use.

Thanks! That explains quite a bit. I need to get back into this hobby at
some point soon…
Best,
Zack.

The table is a little tricky, indeed, but the best way to do it is to read
across it, from left to right. The columns go in this order: Takeoff,
Climb to 5000 feet, climb from 5000 to FL150, climb from FL150 to FL240,
Mach climb, cruise, descent to FL240, descent from FL240 to FL100, then
descent (FL100 and below). The very last column is Approach. It's tricky
to read because a lot of these values span two columns.

Hi all,
In my search to find aircraft performance data to add to FSXPilot, I
found this site. This link is to the Boeing 787-8 dreamliner as an
example.
http://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/B788
There is a number of things under the "Performance data" area, but I
can't figure out how the table works. The first is the V2 IAS, but I'm
not sure what the other speeds are. I don't know what TAS, MCS, etc
are.
Any help would be appreciated, I'd like to add the right data for the
Airwego 788 and MD-11, and this site gives more than just the basics,
although NVDA doesn't seem to be reading the table correctly.
Hope this helps someone.
