October 9, 20205 yr Author I was using the Flybywire plane and that maybe the issue. I would be surprised if it stopped the unlimited fuel overide though.

Will report it on Zendesk CJ How long was the flight just out of interest? And I know you had unlimited fuel set, but do you know what percentage the fuel tanks were at before you started?

November 17, 20205 yr Same problem with all three airliners from Boston to London and NY to London (need to reconfirm but believe this isn't just an airliner issue). Reported to Zen desk last week and they replied 'problem solved'. But they don't tell you when a fix will be issued

CJ 1805 NM is well within the normal range of an A320. Why would you use unlimited fuel for such a flight? I’ve never used the “unlimited” fuel option, but I assume it keeps the tanks always full? If so, that would likely put you over maximum landing weight when you get to your destination. Jim BarrettLicensed Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic, Avionics, Electrical & Air Data Systems Specialist.
