Just got the brief on this yesterday, looks like the 135 will be getting it soon. My understanding is that in the airlines the program is catered to each airplane whereas ours is not (all of our standard configurations aren't even covered). This combined with the problems we've been having with flight managers lately (see recent ASAP reports) and inaccuracy of our weather packages makes it seem like an "optimized" fuel load will be highly inaccurate. That's assuming its a dead head with no A/R which would bring a whole new set of problems (any -10 guys used this with any success)? Besides that, I agree with everyone else, the AOR is a black hole of gas, especially in winter when ice fog reeks havock on any good intentions.

In the airlines, it is built into the FMS.
