You can compare the flap settings to Airbus Widebodies: 2 = 1+F and 3 = 2. This at least makes it easier for me to remember

Tyler has confirmed in a separate conversation, that we can indeed fly the A220 to LCY in the sim.
Edit: The NOTAM at LCY has been updated to include the A220, E-Jets and the C130 as being permitted to operate at the airport. In all other cases, no aircraft larger than an A318 will be allowed.

what actually is 1+F is it like 1.5
1+F means the flaps and slats are down. Flaps are on the back-side of the wing, and slats are on the front side.

Just completed my first A220 flight from Stockholm to Tallinn and this was a huge help! I especially loved the two new sections by Adam and Tom, and found all of the configuration details to be extremely representative of the aircraft. Nice work with these, Deer!

Thanks for the tutorial @DeerCrusher
A question, did anyone make the topic explaining the A220 panels like we had in other reworked aircraft?
Not that Iām aware of at this time. Sorry. But if you have any questions, feel free to ask here. And either myself or someone else should be able to answer you. š

I know there is always the fuel burn method but what do people think fuel planning should be like for these planes while we wait for SimBrief to catch up with fuel data. I donāt want to over shoot it but I donāt want to undershoot it either. I put an hour extra in on a particularly more full flight and Iām right on that line of making it or not.

I believe Simbried has this, look under BCS3 instead of A223. Thatās the mistake I made.

What do you know. Thanks for the help. It is indeed the mistake I made I forget that it has multiple names.
I re-crunched the numbers I simply over fueled it Iām sure the range will increase once the weight comes down.

Do you have a specific chart for the a220 in addition to this unofficial take off and approach speed so I can calculate in detail my flaps configuration and v1, vr, v2 speed.
Do you have an a220 manual?

What does BCS3 stand for?
Bombardier C Series, BCS is the correct ICAO designation, while 223 is the IATA designation.
ICAO codes are used by air traffic control and airline operations such as flight planning. While ICAO designators are used to distinguish between aircraft types and variants that have different performance characteristics affecting ATC, the codes do not differentiate between service characteristics (passenger and freight variants of the same type/series will have the same ICAO code). IATA codes are used for airline timetables and computer reservation systems. IATA designators are used to distinguish between aircraft types and variants that have differences from an airline commercial perspective (size, role, interior configuration, etc). As well as an Aircraft Type Code, IATA may optionally define an Aircraft Group Code for types and variants that share common characteristics (for example all Boeing 747 freighters, regardless of series). - Wikipedia, āAircraft Type Designatorsā

Should I use flaps 5 for landing, or is that only for super short runways?
