Juergen2 3 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi, I have a question/issue: I am trying to fly a A321 professional (Condor Livery, A321 Professional, 211 CFM Sharklets) from GCTS (Tenerife South) to EDDM (Munich) and using the Aerosoft A3xx Fuel Planner. The planner has the following data: Distance: 1,792 Nm; Fuel: Res - 5,000lbs; FoB: 42,051lbs; Pax: 45; Cargo: 2,480lbs; ZFW: 114,113lbs., TOW: 154,927. As soon as I increase the pax load, I will exceed the Max.Landing Weight. Also the trim is calculated at: DN 1.7 - when I take off with this setting I get a "Trim Warning". {this is a airliners.net quote: Range with 186 passengers and reserves 4352km (2350nm) with V-2530s, 4260km (2300nm) with CFM-56s. A321-200 - Range 4907km (2650nm)} Why can't I execute this flight with more Pax???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Secondator 643 Posted March 9, 2020 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hello Juergen, Could you please post a screenshot of the fuel planner in advanced mode when you see these issues. That way it's easier for us to see the bigger picture and try to identify any issues that you might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juergen2 3 Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hello, Here is a link to 2 screenshots of the fuel planner with 45Pax and 46 Pax: https://www.flickr.com/photos/141330124@N05/shares/cGHn2L Hope that helps and thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Secondator 643 Posted March 9, 2020 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted March 9, 2020 You seem to have excessive amounts of fuel on Holding Fuel, Contigency Fuel and Final Reserve Fuel slots. You should be fine with the flight with around 2500 lbs final reserve, maybe 20 minutes of holding fuel (to be on the safe side) and 5-10 minutes of Contingency fuel. Please login to display this image. About the trim issue, I can see that happening as well. We'll try to find some time to have a proper look into it to adjust the range so that the values make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juergen2 3 Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thanks for clarification. I will use the fuel load as suggested by you. I never paid much attention to the fuel calculation, but also never flew that long a distance with the airbus. Thanks for help One more question: How did you get that screenshot into the forum page?
