EHM Flight Logger...
EHM-1627 Chris:
i dunno...it wasn't my fault...d**n head wind...slowed me rite down!!
are you ment to set it up so that you can never run out of fuel then?
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
i'm just saying that maybe you should have adjusted your cruise speed according to the headwind/tail wind that you get
EHM-1539 Pierre:
Knowing the wind is part of the preparation of the flight.
Not having 45 mins reserve in IFR is illegal ;)
Adjust your flight level when you have strong headwind...
If you can't... call a flying tanker ;D
EHM-1627 Chris:
yeah i had reserve fuel...but couldn't work out how to use it...or if it uses automatically then i have no idea why i ran out?
i think that it is just best to fill the plane right up, this way i shouldn't run out!!!:>
EHM-1617 Iain:
chris, when we talk about reserve fuel, we mean putting enough fuel for the journey in the tanks, and then some more cause I always underestimate, and then some more as reserve fuel, and then adjust to make way for the headwind, this way u will never run out.
also if u can see that you are not going to make your destination, then divert to the alternate instead.
