As you underline it can have a significant impact on the aircraft flying near maximum range. Does this mean there are some kind of readings available when you refuel the aircraft, that the captain or the flight planner can use to plan the fuel quantity properly ? The more significant effect on a day to day basis is that pilots/dispatchers work in terms of mass when it comes to fuel requirements (because apart from anything else - a 1kg mass of fuel will always have the same amount of energy), but AFAIK the refueller normally works (and, significantly, charges) in volume. Thus the SG of the fuel, along with the volume uplifted, will normally be provided with the paperwork - and this can then be checked to ensure the correct mass has been uplifted. Simon Kelsey

Lease it to PMDG for their new sim center, only 5,000 dollars an hour for the opportunity to be a first officer in a real 747-8!

January 27, 20188 yr Are there plans to make the fbw trim smoother? It seems to be a bit awkward on the 777. Aidan Hutchison

January 27, 20188 yr I know the emphasis is on the flight deck and systems...the cabin is a secondary consideration. But I love the fact that something that may happen in the cabin that affects the flightdeck is modelled. Like when I flick on the seatbelt sign the 'PA in use' message comes up for a few moments as the cabin crew advise passengers to return to their seats Neil Phillips
