srcooke 422 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Using an AirlinerPerformance profile and PFPX weather source the figures will be very accurate: Please login to display this image. You haven't mentioned fuel policy or your actual route to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsmeier 2 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 It looks like you selected a "no reserve" fuel policy, so you were planning to arrive with only 738 kg of fuel. So, If the actual average tail wind component during your flight amounted to anything less than the planned 35 knots, or if you deviated from your planned route in a way that made it longer, it wouldn't take long before you ran out of fuel.

That's true for Stephen's OFP. But if you look at the OP's, you'll see he has no reserves other than fuel to reach the alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil747fan 52 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 back to the OP, Cristoffer you should try to select a different rule for the fuel policy compute then back to the one you want to use originally and everything should be good.
