I thought her calculations get more accurate over time as more PIREP's are
submitted.

She's not.  I had something around 56,000 gallons of fuel, which is way too
much to get above that altitude.  I redid the flight and called the fuel
truck and ended up with 7966 gallons.  Go figure.  Big difference in those
numbers.

I'm surprised it crashed at 310.

 

If you're flying using a flight plan, you shouldn't need that truck as
Michele will do the calculations for you.

Okay this was interesting.  My 747 crashed climbing through Fl310.  I've
discovered a problem with every aircraft I have flown.  I am starting with
way to much fuel for the flights I do, and when I call a fuel truck, too
little fuel is put on.  Any ideas?  That Is why I crashed today.  Too much
fuel to climb any higher.

Thanks,
Jordan
