Help planning QFA73 YSSY-KSFO 744ER

I'm guessing you're referring to using the ETOPS section of PFPX to find ETPs.  If so, yeah - that's what I've been doing too.  You can customise each aircraft to have whatever scenarios you want, e.g. 1EO or Decompression, with the remaining fuel required.  You can also set the aircraft to not have any time limit from diversion airfields, which I have set for my 744 in PFPX.

Cheers,

Good idea.  I've been wondering how to calculate ETPs for long routes with variable winds.  PFPX is otherwise woefully inadequate for true four engine planning.

Yeah seems what i wanted also. Now i just need to know how to avoid the fuel ETOPS part as this proberly started the whole in the first place 

Thanks Michael Moe

Go to your aircraft, edit it, and go the tab for ETOPS.  You can set exactly how much fuel you would like remaining for a given scenario. 

Cheers,
