What sets it apart
Designed by the aircraft manufacturer
OPT is developed by Boeing for Boeing aircraft operations. Performance calculations reflect how Boeing aircraft are designed and certified to operate.
Uses Boeing aircraft performance data
Calculations use Boeing SCAP data, Dispatch Deviation Guide logic, and aircraft manuals rather than third-party performance models.
Calculates from source data
Performance values are calculated directly from Boeing aircraft data instead of estimated between performance tables.
Applies real aircraft configuration
MEL items, engine bleeds, and configuration changes are modeled using Boeing-defined performance logic rather than generic assumptions.
Runs on EFB platforms
The same Boeing calculation engine runs on mobile EFB tablets, installed EFB systems, and iOS and Windows devices.
Same logic across operations
Flight crews and ground teams use the same Boeing performance logic across cockpit and ground systems.
Product overview
Onboard Performance Tool calculates takeoff and landing runway performance for Boeing aircraft using Boeing performance data and real-time operating conditions.
Slide 1 of 1
Takeoff performance calculations
Calculates takeoff speeds, thrust settings, and allowable weights using Boeing SCAP aircraft performance data. Crews generate takeoff performance values using current runway conditions and aircraft configuration to support payload decisions. Calculations reflect Boeing aircraft performance data and approved operating limits for the aircraft.

Landing performance calculations
Calculates landing distance using current runway conditions and aircraft configuration. Crews update landing calculations when runway conditions or weather change. This helps ensure landing performance reflects actual operating conditions at the time of arrival.

Weight and balance integration
Performance calculations incorporate aircraft weight and balance inputs — including passenger, cargo, and fuel data — so results reflect the aircraft loading condition. Weight and balance information is included as part of the overall performance calculation process. This helps crews evaluate aircraft performance using actual loading data.

Aircraft configuration logic
MEL items, CDL items, engine bleeds, and aircraft configuration changes are modeled using Boeing-defined performance logic so calculations reflect the actual aircraft condition. Configuration impacts are applied using Boeing aircraft performance data and manufacturer-defined logic, ensuring performance results reflect how the aircraft is configured for operation.

Multiplatform deployment across Boeing aircraft
Runs on mobile EFB tablets, installed EFB systems, and Windows devices using the same Boeing performance calculation engine across cockpit and ground environments. Flight crews and operations teams can access the same calculation logic across supported platforms, helping to maintain consistency between cockpit and ground performance calculations.
System integrations
Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) systems, including mobile tablets and installed cockpit EFB
Windows-based ground performance environments used by flight operations teams
Why airlines choose Boeing OPT
OEM-level accuracy you can trust
Performance calculations use Boeing SCAP data and manufacturer-defined logic, reducing risk from inaccurate or conservative assumptions.
Protects engine life
Optimized thrust settings reduce unnecessary engine wear and lower long-term maintenance costs.
Reduces cost of departure delays
Real-time recalculation allows crews to update performance immediately when conditions change, protecting schedule integrity.
Maximizes revenue per flight
More precise calculations help airlines use approved aircraft capacity without increasing risk.
Consistent performance calculations across operations
A single Boeing performance logic is used across cockpit and ground workflows, reducing variability and manual workarounds.
Decisions aligned to approved limits
Performance calculations maintain required safety margins while reflecting actual operating conditions, supporting confident operational decisions.
Frequently asked questions
What does Boeing Onboard Performance Tool do?
Boeing Onboard Performance Tool calculates takeoff, landing, and weight and balance performance for Boeing aircraft using real-time operating conditions and Boeing aircraft performance data.
How is OPT different from other performance calculation tools?
OPT uses Boeing SCAP aircraft performance data and manufacturer-defined logic rather than generalized performance models. This ensures calculations reflect how Boeing aircraft are designed and certified to operate.
Can flight crews update performance calculations when conditions change?
Yes. Crews can recompute takeoff or landing performance when runway conditions, weather, or aircraft configuration change, allowing accurate flight decisions without waiting for dispatch updates.
What aircraft configuration factors does OPT include in calculations?
OPT calculations incorporate aircraft configuration inputs such as MEL items, CDL items, engine bleeds, runway conditions, and aircraft weight and balance.
Where can Boeing Onboard Performance Tool be deployed?
OPT runs on Electronic Flight Bag systems, including mobile tablets and installed cockpit EFB, as well as in Windows-based environments used by airline flight operations teams.
