Fuel problems

Recommended Posts

Even though I loaded the amount of fuel computed by the CRJ config tool, midway through the flight I got a "dangerously low fuel in selected tank" message.  Eventually the engines quit even though both the right and left tanks were showing about 1250 pounds of fuel in each.  Any explanation?

As the CRJ doesn't have an autothrottle system, it's very hard to predice the actual fuel usage during flight. The fuel calculation in the CRJ Manager is based on "flying by the books". It's possible to use up significantly more fuel than calculated.

 

I will check out the low fuel message that you got.
