Hello
I want to make a tribute flight of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur and I've problem with fuel planning. Because we don't have such flight in schedule I've found flightplan in Vroute. It goes at follows: ARNEM UL620 EXOBA UM994 PENEK UL980 SUI L980 LDZ M70 BEMBI L980 TAMAK A87 KEKAL N644 PARAK J145 DI M875 KAKID M770 OBMOG L515 PUT B579 VPL W531 VIH A464 VBA. When I've made a dispatch with one of the charter triple 7 it gave me about 165.000 lbs of fuel needed for this flight. I will make my flight with pss 777-200 lr. When I started to enter the data to FMC it gaves me a command Insulficient fuel. Can anyone know a good fuel planner for this birdie, because I don't want to make an emergency after a 11 h of flight because of not enough fuel. Another thing is step climbing. I used to step climbing wtih pmdg 747 when fmc give me a command that the plane is to heavy to get to the projected cruise altitude. With pss I 've found in the documentationt that optimum FL for this birdie with arround 560 k gross weight (payload and fuel) is fl350 to 393. But I think it is to heavy to get to fl390 at once. in real flight after 4 hours of flight airplane was arround fl 300.
Any help apreciated.
