I am concerned about the quoted fuel figures, they planned to use 72100kgs of fuel and according to the recorded quantity they had used 68500kgs, saving 3600kgs. If this amount was saved by flying higher than planned why not fly at that height everytime. I note that the FQPU was tested but I assume that this unit gathers information from the quantity sensors in the tanks or whatever system the 777 has for fuel quantity, testing of those sensors should be straightforward and I would have thought been mentioned in the report.
