September 24, 201312 yr I found PFPX pretty good, over 3 flights where within 500lbs of fuel diffrence at the end of the flight compared to the calculated estimate. so long as you put in the wind data (can be copy/pasted if you have activesky which is a blessing!) Again if you give the FMC all the data you have its pretty accurate also.

September 24, 201312 yr Topcat performs fuel calculations for your route. PFPX was never meant to take the place of Topcat. It works in conjunction with it. But right now Topcat has not been updated to do the calculations for the 777. Have you never calculated fuel with Topcat? It's one of the software's primary functions.
