May 3, 201115 yr Ive got a question for you Robert. Your ZFW is different in your two flights, why is this? With a consistent 90,000 lbs of payload shouldn't it stay the same?

May 4, 201115 yr Hi Eric,I just corrected my figures that you have put into the excel sheet. I know I was heavy on the medium route. So for the sake of science I'll fly it again here in the weekend.

Weather is the "Cold Fronts" theme. Everything else is up to you as the pilot, you are trying to conserve fuel. Since there is also a fuel/nm and a fuel/hr, results can be compared like that as well.
