Fuel Calculation 747

[pilotguy365]

I've searched all over the PMDG OPS and I have found nothing in the way of calculating necessary fuel burn and other necessary fuel. If anyone can provide any help, it would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks,Tony Nelson

Are you serious?And I have found 15 pages worth of relevant info - CRUISE AND FUEL PLANNING.Michael J.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...argo_hauler.gifhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-beta.jpg

Right,I have read this but I am simply asking if there is a program just like the 737 has I have already known about the manual I would just prefer not to have to calculate every time.Thanks,Tony Nelson

Yes, there is at least one such program - search Avsim library for 747 Fuel planner and/or search this forum. Michael J.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...argo_hauler.gifhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-beta.jpg

This is the best FP for the PMDG for what I know, can be used with both LBS and KG http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=73345But I highly recommend you to go through the cruise and fuel planning chapters. They help you understanding th basic elements and you also need the opt. cruise altitude table to determine your initial cruise altitude.
