Ground Operations - Excess Fuel

[hazbenz 1]

Hi,

I have been trying to figure out an issue I am having with fuel. When I load the aircraft it is always fully loaded with fuel. When I do my flight planning I may only need 90K - 100K lbs of fuel (2 - 3 hr flight). When I start the short or long turnaround everything happens as required EXCEPT that nothing happens with the fuel. So, how to I either get the ground operations to remove the fuel OR start the aircraft with 5-10% fuel?

Cheers

Hi Hazza,

Remove the fuel using the FMC before selecting short or long turnaround.

Also both first and last names are required in this forum

Load the panel state, go into FS actions, change the fuel load, and then re-save the panel state if you want to change the amount of fuel that's loaded initially.
