Abdul123 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Excuse me. How come whenever you fly long distance on the A330 fuel isn’t enough for the journey. Fuel runs out fast even though you planned the fuel required for the journey. For example EGLL-KJFK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveCT2003 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Are you looking at EFOB or actually rumning out of fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul123 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 i'm looking at the EFOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCT2003 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Okay, the EFOV is not at all accurate, its a known bug. We are currently testing a fix for it. It should not affect your flight and provided you planned for winds, SIDs and STARs you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul123 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 will test the flight without the EFOB with what it gives me and see how it goes thanks. Will let you know on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk Posted January 5, 2020 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 5, 2020 How was the FF? Did you had the excessive FuelFlow bug? See pined topic. EFOB prediction during preflight should be reliable. Just during flight the EFOB is currently buggy and a fix is tested right now. So how was the EFOB in preflight with wind and full route/appr entered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul123 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 not sure yet will give it a shot in the morning and let you guys know about it. But last time i was trying regular long flight like EGLL-KJFK ran out over canada. But will give it another shot one more time see how it goes.

Abdul123 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 right now En-route KJFK-EGLL didn't click the zfw botton on the fuel switch of the fms and efob for arrival currently reads 18.5kg will see how it goes in 7hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul123 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 flight was successful. Guess its the "EFOB on the fms" that has the problem as you guys mentioned. Thanks hope it gets fixed soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
