February 28, 201214 yr Hey I have recently purchased the Wilco Evolution 1 y 2 series of Airbus. Tha last Sunday I flew between Toronto and Vancouver I have planned the fuel on board according with the WILCO FUEL PLANNER utility who carries this Airbus package, so it defined a fuel of 16.000 kg for a 1850 NM trip., everything was cool until I realize the ECAM red message note "QUANTITY FUEL TOO LOW FOR TANK 1 and 2, and I do a crosscheck to FOB level and it shows 30 kg, so I have to went to realism settings and select fuel unlimited in order to not lost the flight. and I saw into sistem display that the Fuel Flow was around 8500 kgs per hour, I was surprising for this fuel comsuption, is that OK? or there is a problem....thanks in advance !!!

February 28, 201214 yr I never use the Wilco fuel planner as it always gives me less fuel than i need for the flight and end up with the same problems as you.Personally i use V-route for fuel planning, you need to upgrade to premium but its well worth it imo. Chris Howard
February 28, 201214 yr Author Thanks for advice, so I forgot to mention I'm using Airbus A340-300. Nibaldo Soto A.
February 28, 201214 yr No problem,I find this happens with any of the Airbus..A318-A340, its just not a very accurate fuel planner. Chris Howard
