You know what is even odder. I can't find the log file for the last flight
I did yesterday. It was the flight I finally completed. Ah ha. I know
what happened. I had to restart IYP in the middle of the climb. I bet that
messed it up because that put the fuel back at 56,000. At Fl310, it should
have been less than that allowing me to get up to hopefully Fl360. Not sure
why IYP goes really quiet on me when I open up a menu or something but it
does and I cannot get it back without restarting it. That may have been the
problem, but still I think Michelle should have gone with what fuel was on
the aircraft since I was in the flight already.

Bonkers.
It's a lottery flying that 747 I reckon then, LOL.

I've climbed up to 3 5 0 with 56K gallons.
Did you alter the rate of climb at all during your doomed flight?

Me too. All the other aircraft I fly she does fine with, but she's almost
always off on the 747. I am at a loss for why.

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
