Awe crap, figures, I wrote that backwards, I meant:

"I'm not exactly sure how we're supposed to make a successful approach and then make a missed approach"

The missed approach is calculated in flight planning. The time or fuel burn will vary depending on the airport. Some airports are very busy and a missed approach can say be a 25 minute turn around to land again and at a smaller field this can be 10 minutes. For this exercise I will expect you to have 45 minutes of cruise fuel (30 minutes plus 15 minutes missed app)
I hope this makes sense, Tomorrow I will post some early stats.

Ok, so the point is to just come in for a full stop and have enough fuel to do a missed approach (and maybe land at an alternate if that is the case) plus 30 minutes of fuel?

I thought we were supposed to do the missed approach in the flight...

Well as of now these are the reports submited. You have another 20 days left.

Randy is in the lead with a fuel burn of 34.43 Lbs per minute.

The red data are disqulified flights.

Also some TOD (top of descent) fuel are not available becasue I think the pilot must of climbout and then soon after made a decent before reaching TOC (top pf climb). This is making FSACARS improperly log data.

A couple of things I observerd also is some pilot logs a missing a degree symbol and the log uses a question mark.

Also Robert why is your sim date and time wrong? Unless you made it this way and like summer textures. Your date of submition is October 9th 2009 and your flight log date is 2009/08/06 16:00:00

I must have had summer in the FS-X date to see some scenery in an offline flight.

I know why my ascent is screwed up, I had 190 instead of 19000 in FSacars.

How do we properly insert a comment in FSacars? Right now I have /V+RMK/. How would I add FS-X in there?

Dam! Sorry about that, I thought I woulda had plenty left over, its been a while since I fuel calculated for the ERJ, I'll be sure to try again!

*smacks FSX's fuel calculator* (I always add more fuel to the estimate but still! :devil: )

Last night while talking with other pilots during the multi, I realized that not everyone understood the purpose of this challenge the same way.

A) Are we supposed to land with the minimum fuel required to fly the extra 45 minutes?

or

B) Are we supposed to have the best fuel economy during the flight and still remain 'legal'?

Why do we have 4 different zero fuel weight? If we're all using default cargo, shouldn't we all be the same?

36,282
36,285
36,359
36,360

The only difference I could imagine is between FS-X and FS9, but that would account for only 2 different weights at the most.

EDIT: Ok, I just noticed something with the passengers. The rules state a total of 46 but FSacars put in 41 in a test just now. I was told once never to change FSacars information (only flight level, alternate, route, etc), are we supposed to override the PAX for this challenge?

There was a hiccup in flight 2009/10/12 03:06:00 just now. I had a false TOC at 3:18 (along with a TOD), can the log be corrected please so it will not make the calculations go bad?

03:18 TOC
03:18 Fuel Weight: 1432 Kg
03:19 TOD
03:19 Fuel Weight: 1429 Kg
03:19 TOC
03:19 Fuel Weight: 1420 Kg
03:21 Wind:300@001 Knots Heading: 133 Ground Speed: 344 Knots Altitude 19402 ft
03:36 Wind:305@000 Knots Heading: 134Ground Speed: 344 Knots Altitude 19376 ft
03:48 TOD
03:48 Fuel Weight: 977 Kg



And what's the correct syntax to add a comment? This was with FS-X but the comment did not register in the log.

This I do not know why. In the instruction I laid out the correct aicraft load config. Because there is such a small difference I passed it as a go for the submition.
