Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel, today´s question is another very important one, especially if you are wanting to become an airline pilot, you´ll be dealing with this topic a lot.
What is a cost index and how does it influence the planes´ performance. I´ll go over some basic details on what defines the cost index, like flight operational costs, what they are made of and how they have an impact on daily flight operations. Another very big part of the cost index calculation is the current fuel price. As fuel is the denominator in the division, it has the bigger impact on changing the value of the cost index.
So I´ll show you an example on how to perform such a cost index calculation.
You can say, the cheaper the fuel the higher the cost index, the faster the plane will fly, the shorter the flight time.
The more expensive the fuel, the smaller the cost index becomes and the slower the aircraft will fly to become more economically efficient.
Next then will be to look at on how the cost index affects the planes´ flight profile.
KEY NOTE:
LOWEST COST INDEX and the aircraft will fly at maximum range cruise but relatively slow.
HIGHEST COST INDEX and the aircraft will fly at maximum cruising speed giving you the shortest flight time at the highest fuel burn.
The cost index value ranges from 0 - 999 and has to be typed in the FMS ( Flight management system ) via the MCDU ( Multi Control Display Unit ) on the Airbus.
I hope I was able to explain this topic as simple as possible, cause this for sure is a difficult topic.
Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe

Thank you Captain Joe! Glad you are back!
Yes! I've been waiting for this! :D Amazing as always, thanks for the vid Joe.
Last evening, I got to fly in a B-737 flight simulator, and the instructor was explaining the Cost Index in the FMS, it was very interesting, and your explanation goes further in depth, thanks!
Finally! i've been looking forward to this, thanks Joe!
Thank you so much..... you're a blessing to our lives Cap. Joe. Thank you!!!!!! It makes a whole lot more sense now.
This is fantastic! Great explanation. Your content is unlike anything else. I'm addicted. Vielen Dank.
Welcome back Joe.Fascinating video.Soo much goes into flying a commercial jet.
Fantastically explained video..thank you joe
This question was asked a lot. Thanks.

Best pilot review on RUclips excellent keep it up most definitely worth the wait 🛫
super useful video, Joe, you never disappoint, thank you so much!
we all hope you had fun in NYC but we're glad you're back :) we started missing you!
Hatte ich ja noch nie drüber nachgedacht... mega interessant! Vielen Dank dafür 👍
Perfectly put! Thanks.
Hi Joe, great video as always! Would you be able to make a video on certain airline procedures, such as single engine taxis or packs off takeoffs and how they affect the airplane/airline. Thanks!
bless you captain Joe for another exclusive and educative video 👍
Learn something new every time Joe. Super informative videos, undoubtedly the best.
This is the best explanation I've ever come across. Keep up the good work.
Hey Joe, great video as always, I wondered if you could make a video about aircraft leasing, and what are its differences with buying.
Awesome video. Have been wondering the meaning of cost index but now I get it.
Nice to have you back I started to miss you Joe!
Thank you so much Captain Joe 🙏✈️🙏
Yes yes yes! I know others have recommended and I'm glad you've taken the idea! That says alot :)
Another aspect of flying I never knew! Thank you!
@Captain Joe , You have answered a long time question I had. I live 20 miles away for the flight path for Manchester Airport UK and love watching the many planes coming in for landing and take off. I always wondered why some planes took off at a steep angle, yet some on the same day would be on a much more gradual rate of accent. I watched the video twice and get the CI now which has obviously answered my long time question. Cheers Joe.
Always very informative. Thank you Capt. Joe.
Hi Captain Joe: Just cruising You-Tube when I came across your videos that are fantastic, very educational, look forward to more of your videos, thank you.

Great video Joe!
Yeah! My fav book
Now, I've been commenting on quite many of your videos recently. This one has barely begun and I already have something to say again! I ordered Sully's book last week after having seen the film based on the book, and got it in the mail this Friday (two days ago). Haven't read it yet though, will do that when I've finished the one I'm reading currently.
Congrats on 170K SUBSCRIBER!! YAS CAPTAIN JOE!!
My favorite thing about Thursday's!!!
Very interesting, thanks.
"Save this video in your playlist". Wait, your channel is my playlist! Awesome video :-)
Thanks Captain Joe!!! You make me wish I would have been a pilot!
Hey joe love your videos, can you please make a video explaining localizer and ils? Thanks
Do a video about flight speeds/takeoff speeds/ landing speeds etc
Okay thanks but other speeds would be nice
I have a little story about costs, management and professionality.. I work in a transport company and we do a lot of AOG transports - pretty much the most urgent and expensive transport besides organs. we had an order from a HUGE german company which I wont name but its.. THE german aviation company. they needed a part transported in an AOG situation to an island in Europe which is pretty hard to reach because of bureaucracy (I am not naming it for anonymity purposes). we spent the whole weekend trying to get our truck a ferry to this island and it was VERY difficult but with help from a major transportation company in Germany and people knowing people we suceeded. I was hyped when the part arrived 3 days after being ordered because it was so difficult. about *2 weeks* later we get a call from the aviation company asking us if the part was ever delivered because they cant find it..... I was shocked somehow and after this and *a lot* of other incidents with AOG transports in Germany (like Cologne -> Hamburg, Frankfurt->Hamburg) where parts got lost in bureaucracy and chaos I somehow think its not all as professional as we think..
Thank you!
Good to listen to you
Thank you sir 4 the explain

parabéns pelo Vídeo 😉😉😉😉😉
Hope you enjoyed your trip. Loved your photos of New York on instagram 😁😁
Thank you for the video. Please do video about Long range cruise.. LRC.
Thanks for your fantastic videos Capt Joe!
If I may ask, does the captain or his/her first officer actually do an external inspection of the plane before a flight? If not, who does it and what are the salient things they would look out for? Thanks and keep it up.
Oh my god. Just when I thought I knew it all Captain Joe makes a video detailing CI. My mind is now blown.
you are the best,...!!!
nice video captain!
Thank you 😊
