    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider Hey Guys, I am not a pilot but a new PMDG user. I recently watched a MAYDAY episode regarding Air Canada Flight 143. IN the episode the pilots entered the wrong fuel weight into the FMC. The result aircraft ran out of fuel. I purchased the 737 NGX. Where the FMC enters the fuel weight for you. IS this real world? Can what happened to AC143 happen in real life? This accident was back in 1983 I am guessing there is more automation now happening in the Fuel tanks now. Are pilots still using paper advising them of what fuel was put into the aircraft from the ground crew. Than the pilots entering that weight into the FMC? Thus one miscalculation ie a decimal point here or there causing a flight to leave with out the required fuel. Just curious if anyone could let me know Thank You http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider
