There is an aircraft type file for simbrief for the Fenix. You can get it at their Discord site. if you ask, I don't know where I downloaded it.

I always add about 0.5 or a little more extra fuel when making the flight plan.

Yeah, using this profile you will never depart before reaching your take-off min fuel. It usually only gives you 800 lbs of gas to play with, and running the APU during pre-flight (if GPU not available) will usually burn most of that, with engine start burning the rest.

Also you'll be on final approach with enough fuel for 1 go around before you need to divert. The simbrief profile really does make you feel like a real airline Captain, lol!

Yeah, I have made a couple of landings were the Fenix was telling me " Land ASAP, low fuel"...
