Are you still on a climb? Until you get to your cruise altitude it won’t give a realistic fuel remaining as you’ll be burning more fuel climbing

It should show more fuel once the aircraft is at cruise and is cleaned up.
I arrived at my cruising altitude and it still shows I have less fuel then what I put in it’s still sufficient but it’s less then what I put in. I remember putting atleast 16 hours worth of fuel.
On descent you may make up some of that fuel.
Ok thanks for your help!

The plane will use more engine power which will automatically use more fuel. That happens if you’re too heavy for your cruising altitude or if there’s a strong headwind. I will advise checking the aircraft’s load and climbing profiles before going airborne.
