CRUISE COST INDEX PERF FACTOR Before any point is recorded in-flight, you have to go through the following process Only start recording after going through the preliminary process. Leg of at least 15 minutes flight long Fuel unbalance between wing tanks Disconnect autothrust and set N1/EPR to appropriate value Engaged autopilot in ALT HLD/HDG SEL mode. Select AC flow normal, both bleed/pack ON, engine and wing A/I OFF Additional recommendations Specific checks have to be performed during flight - refer to the in-flight observation form Do not touch the thrust levers during the whole subsequent period unless recordings are stopped because of instability. Wait for 5 minutes for aircraft stabilization before starting actual data recording (references are EGT, N1/EPR, ground speed and SAT). Check the initial drift angle to be less than 2.5 degrees and rate of change not exceeding 0.5 degree per minute.
