if you fly long range 6000 nm the plane is taking off near to the maximum take off weight (MTOW) due to this fact, the fuel burning for the climb and level flight is higher, maybe you fly 2-5 degrees nose up in 36.000 fet. What i do to achieve the lowest fuel burn is to get higher than 33.000 feet, in comparison to 36000 fett (1000m higher) you get a significant lower fuel burn per hour with 3000 ft higher flight altitude, well sometimes its more intelligent to slightly reduce the mach speed to fly more fuel efficient. On the routes EDDF - LEPA (palma de Mallorca) i never fly faster than Mach 0,70 (between FL33 and FL36) due to this procedure, i save a lot of fuel. |
