I am on my fourth training flight now and I promise I do not land and leave the aircraft with zero fuel in it.
Nevertheless every time I book the aircraft for my next leg it shows it is 100% perfect (I know I am a sky god and my landings are perfect) and zero fuel tanked from previous flight.
Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Aircraft Status
Hi Ady
No.. you're not doing anything wrong. As you're currently a pilot under training and the flights are training flights.. think of them as being 'in the sim' rather than live flights. This is why whatever fuel you did have reverts back to what it was before you fuelled up. On completion of your 6th training flight.. you'll be awarded 'Pilot' status (God willing) and on to 'Live' flights. Things will be very much different then, as you'd expect As a pilot, it is still possible to incur 'personal' FSA penalties on training flights (which I don't really agree with but there you go) but anything drastic will not affect the VA.

All copied, I actually managed to fly the Canarsie departure from JFK 31L today and stayed under 250 KIAS, I was impressed with myself
Hope to manage Dulles tomorrow but see how the RW interferes.
