there are a number of ways of doing this using different programne that are out there like topcat. Or if you dont want to purchase any of these just use the fmc to do it for you

thanks, but I prefer the old way, with paper and pencil on one hand and a calculator on the other one. So this is why I asked for a tabel of the fuel consuption of the 737.

I thought there was one in the FCOM, though I could be wrong.Check Smartcockpit.com?

Performance on Dispatch makes up a good part of FCOMv1. There are also tables for fuel consumption.

Thanks Fabo, I'll do a check on the Fcom1.I'm not ugraded with the sosftware you can find on the net, so I'll take a look also at Smartcockpit.com.Thanks a lot

just to be clear: TOPCAT is NOT a fuel planner. FSBuild for instance is.

the fmc is the most accurate fuel planner there is

ok thanks a lot. I'll do a check.

I've found on the FCOM1 the table I'was looking for. On page PD 30.1 FCOM1

Been using this for years, and it's pretty good. Just don't try to use the option to load fuel to FS. And you don't need FSUIPC, so ignore that section of the install and documentation. Install it into it's own folder. Don't install it to FS. Keep it stand-alone. It works with Win7 64http://www.volny.cz/...FPL/B737FPL.htmJohn
