How Fuel Efficiency is Measured

Our fuel efficiency score considers multiple factors that contribute to economic flying:

  • Optimal cruise altitude selection for the distance flown
  • Cost Index / speed management during cruise
  • Direct routing and minimal deviations
  • Smooth flight profile (fewer throttle changes)

FAQ

How is fuel efficiency calculated?

We measure fuel consumed per nautical mile, adjusted for aircraft type and payload. Pilots who fly at optimal altitudes and speeds score higher.

Does flight planning affect the score?

Yes! Pilots who choose efficient routes, appropriate cruise altitudes, and manage their descent properly score significantly higher.

Why is fuel efficiency important in a simulator?

Fuel efficiency rewards realistic flying techniques. It encourages proper flight planning and smooth flying - skills that transfer to real aviation.
