I didn't normally do these flights and was very surprised to see a 9+30 sector flown the entire way at FL320.
Upon entering all data in the aircraft Flight Management system the optimum altitude was FL340. We flew the entire trip at Optimum altitudes as computed by the Flight Management system (FL340/Fl360/FL380 and finally FL400). We saved 4400kg of fuel - so much that there was no need to refuel in MLE.
I asked the First Officer what others would have done and he said they would have flown at FL320 as per the flightplan.
A report was filed and an investigation found that the flightplan was generated using an incorrect code that limited the altitude to FL320. Never did hear how long this had been going on and they never got back to me with a $ value on how much money I saved them.
I was sometimes able to save as much as 1100 kg of fuel on a London flight - by not blindly following the flightplan.
I doubt very much had changed.

There's $800 Million still to pay if the reports are correct.
These people are delusional! They've been trying this for 4+ years - if this was possible don't you think this would have happened?
This CEO will be out after the elections and we will see Kapila back along with his toady Druvi.
Toxic Pradeepa will be back as HHR.Last edited by ejanson65; 30-08-2019, 01:11 AM.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business
