Fuel consomption vs simbrief profile

Featured Replies

HEllo,


i've noticed that i always landed below the planned Simbrief flight plan EFOB even with fuel offset of +10%

I dont know if the Ini 380 consume for fuel than irl or if the simbref profile is not accurate

seems that i need to add an offset of +20%

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback! The team is currently adjusting the values of our simbrief profile, based on user feedback!

I should have more news about that, hopefully soon.

Thanks again!

My example. I prepared route OMDB SBGR, flt time 14.30, but after import OFP to 380, I recieved msg "DES FOB" and there was a fuel deficit 33,4 t. During flight the deficite reduced to 27,8 t and finally fuel run out about 2h30mins before landing

Second this, had to reimport my fuel in cruise just to stay above this des EFOB message

I've observed that the consumption seems a lot lower than planned at CI200:

hello,

Efob seems to be calculated without stepclimb profile inserted.

From my personnal experience the good offset is +5%

I have noticed that a higher cost index results in a higher EFOB, even though the opposite should be the case.

I reported this some time ago for the A340, it's highly disappointing to see that it has not been addressed.

Can’t reproduce this. Inserting the step climbs does change the EFOB.

Same here, Standard A330-300 RR, always to less fuel. Even adjusted consumptions in SimBrief won´t get me there legally

me its +15%

I'll add to this, running CI60 I normally end up with over +15 tonnes more than what was planned..

There looks like there is very limited collation between the CI in Simbrief's profile and what the aircraft is actually burning.

There 100% is something up with either the planes fuel burn or the numbers simbrief has for it. So far on 5 flights I have tracked with different CI's I have come up with M06 M08 M11 M02 and M09. So it varies quite a lot from leg to leg. So there is an inconsistent disconnect between Ini's numbers and Simbriefs. But I do not know which set is correct.
