Hello all,
We have a common question at our base regarding fuel predictions on the FMC PROGS page.
When the centre tank contains fuel, the fuel prediction over-reads and as the fuel is burnt during the cruise, the prediction reduces to a sensible reading. I have personally seen differences of around 1000kgs from start to approach.
Does anyone know why? I have heard talk about temperature sensors in different tanks etc?
Thanks
