+ 1 for Germany.

I fly for a company that already has to trade emission rights for their plants and therefore have a 5 guy strong subsection to deal with that crap. Have submitted our concept as one of the first, had just 2 days ago an answer.

Apparently our way of dealing with fuel denisty is a nono, they want it for every refuelling (our fuel indicating system compensates for density changes until the lowest probe surfaces [not longer fully submerged] - which is at 800lbs a tank, never landed with that low amount of fuel jet)

Checked the fuel slips - 2 thirds of them donīt even carry the density on them.

According to our emission guys we emit less than the tolerance of their plants in the EU is.

Why we have to do that **** and the small commercial guys with the same airplane are exempted is beyond me. Me thinks EBAA or whoever goofed there.
