FMC Fuel Reserves

[Philippe TORNE]

Hello,

First of all, congratulations for this amazing piece of software. Absolutely stunning. I have an issue with the FMC Fuel reserves I would like to discuss here. When I try to set the reserves during my preflight (Perf/Fuel MGMT) the 910 KG reserves (which I think is the default value as I’ve never been able to modify it) are displayed in big font, and any manual entry is denied by the system saying « No Entry Allowed ». The issue is when, for example, my reserves are 545 KGS like today (FINRES + ALTN). It leads the FMS to display a « CHECK FUEL AT DEST » message all along the first part of the flight.

Is there a way to modify the Reserves in the FMC ?

Best regards,

Philippe

You actually change it on perf init page 3/3 I think

Thanks. Today I’ve been able to modify the RESV value from the PERF page. Yesterday it wasn’t possible, despite the fact I followed the exact same procedure… strange.

Best regards

Philippe
