Am I doing anything eating according to speed, altitude etc

Not sure if anything is eating anything, but you are flying and you are not falling from the sky. That’s the most important one.

That said, I don’t know how I feel about 109% N1, but again the engines of our airplanes here are pretty resistant to abuse. They will never break. :smiley: On a more serious note, if you need 109% N1 to maintain that speed and altitude, you are likely too heavy and too high.

Also, the trim should definitely not be -20. It should be +10 or more.

Also your speed should be a little higher, however at that altitude it is not ideal to go that high while heavy. Recommend for an A380 around 0.84-0.85 M

You might be a little too high. I’m not sure what plane you are flying, but if Mach 0.82 is a typical cruising speed, my guess is you are in a heavier plane than a 737, and if your ete is greater than 5 hours, my guess is that at your weight, FL41 is too high for your weight

It depends on the N1 speed ideally around 100 can hover up to 102% for speeding and also check fuel flow. Ideally irl an a380 can cruise up to .87 mach during tail winds.

More trim is required considering op is likely at 50-60 payload and 400FL is ideal when you around 45% load.

I put the fuel load as normal same with PAX and cargo

I am flying an A380

97% throttle is pretty dangerous, you don’t have a whole lot of excess thrust to recover from things. I would go down to 390 or something.

Simply too heavy for the altitude you are at. This is why the plane is screaming at 109% N1 to try and do it :saluting_face:

Yeah, so like I and others said, your flight level is simply too high. This is the highest it should ever be operating at. If you’d rip a good 10000 ft or so, you’ll probably see a much better situation, and from there you could climb up a couple levels or just stay put

Too heavy and too high, which can lead to coffin corner. You should descend right now and in the future step climb, it’s safer and more efficient.

Thanks everyone for the advice
