Hi guys,I know, PMDG isn't allowed to publicize the fuel datas or something, but how should we plan our flight without any informations about consumption of the fuel? Has anyone got some ideas to plan your flight usefull?regards,Ben

Start with a notional amount, such as 20kLbs per hour. Then use the MCDU fuel and weights page to adjust to an adequate reserve (say about an hour after all contingencies and alternates).

Let me quote someone from another post:

Read this longer post by Vangelis, it is in fact a mini-tutorial for fuel/performance calculations using the FMC.http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtop...;hl=guess++fuel
