abstract = {This work will show the importance of carefully planning flight operations and its impact on total costs of an airline or military base. Some concepts of efficient flight is introduced such as cost index, CG and weight management, control of drag index on external configurations and fuel loading with complete performance analysis comparing the difference with approximate methodologies. Practical examples using the Brazilian Air Force aircraft C-95 and C-130 will show the benefits and cost improvement with the adoption of some simple practices previous to flight. Finally it will be shown a mission performance assessment with a C-95 aircraft using the cost index methodology and traditional long range cruise flight proving the total cost reduction. It becomes clear that time invested in performance planning previous to flying is profitable.},
