PMDG 737NGX 0.00.47
TUTORIAL #2
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE 27FEB15 RTM
From this point forward, if you get to the point where you see a
USING RSV FUEL scratchpad message during the flight, you
MUST legally divert to Munich or declare an emergency at
Innsbruck. The diversion is obviously preferable in this case -
you’ll have some explaining to do for the authorities if you declare
an emergency!
One final item to talk about relating to fuel planning – the PERF
INIT page has a field at LSK 2L called PLAN/FUEL. This
effectively allows you to enter in a different amount of fuel you’re
planning to actually have onboard so that we can get even closer
values for our takeoff V speeds. It’s normally used (as mentioned
in the manual) when refueling hasn’t been completed yet to use
the correct weight value for the performance calculations, but
play around with inserting different fuel numbers here and you
can see the effect it has. It changes the gross weight, trip altitude,
and so on.
Congratulations, you’ve just planned and loaded fuel for this flight using
similar logic real world dispatchers and pilots would use!
