Potential bug with fuel flow/trim from rear tank - A330-300.

Featured Replies

Hello,

Yesterday I was flying from OTHH to LIMC. On approach to LIMC, I was out of fuel even though there was 2400 kg of fuel in the rear tank. SimBrief calculated 42,303 kg for this route. The MCDU indicated that 2400 kg of fuel should remain at my destination.

It seems to me that there is a bug with the fuel flow/trim from the rear tank to the center tank. Even when I tried to do this manually, no effect was observed. As a result, the engines just turned off.

Today, I flew in an A340, and on this aircraft, it worked perfectly. The trim and flow from the rear tank were done automatically.

Please find the screenshots from both planes attached.

I am seeing the same thing in the -200. I have taken to adding 5290 lbs. of tanker fuel so I will have enough to get to my destination with adequate reserves.
