Fuel question

It can be done, but it’s a hassle!

2200nm is no big issue, 2500 with a headwind is ok as long as you limit your zfw, ci 0, and don’t expect to land with much more than 2000kg left.  2700nm with tail winds and full load (US east coast to Ireland) is not much problem.

You "CAN" add more fuel in flight - but its a bit of a hack:

During flight, go to the "preflight" menu, pick the option "ready to fly" and then set the fuel level according to your taste. Hit "apply and reset".

You will now be at the altitude and speed and position you left of, with these ramifications:

1.) Gear will be down, parking brake on

2.) No autopilot or autothrottle on

3.) All information in FMS is lost

4.) Temperature in cabin is ambient (so likely very very cold) - causing a pack trip.

5.) Pressure in cabin is ambient - causing the cabin altitude alert to sound and the pax oxy masks to "drop" (you will get a warning light, but cant see them).

You CAN work through these problems and get everything under control again to continue your flight, but it may be more of a hassle than you like. You may want to practice that first!

Cheers, Jan
