Lancastrian Fuel Problem

Post by stegs »

Hi all

Can anyone explain the problem with my last flight. I dusted off my PD Lancastrian that I found at the back of the hanger. Gave it a quick wash and brush up and tried a trial FLYNET flight from Manchester to Aldergrove and seemed to have used -2kg of fuel(check my flight). Everything else was OK.

Any ideas?

Hi Steve,

You didn't uplift an awful lot of fuel for that flight, I'd want at least that amount left in the tanks for a hold/divert allowance. Did you get a low fuel message with an invite to hit 'X' to refuel? Other than that I'm not sure.

Steve..

Try the free one with the VA 'adjustment' download. I know it defeats the object somewhat but it's worth a try :wink:
