Hello,
I am making a flight from EDDF to RJTT and I have 9:20ETE to Dest left, but I have fuel for 7:40.
What should I do? Cancel the flight?

You can divert, or try it with step climbing.

First of all, make sure you’re trimmed correctly (i.e. there’s no purple left in the trim button) - this may help fuel consumption. If so, see what your fuel is like once you get up to cruising before you decide to do anything - you may find that, with the winds, your fuel is actually okay. But whatever you do, don’t waste a flight by cancelling it! Simply divert, refuel, and off you go again! I often find my fuel is in the red when going through climb because the engines are working to maintain speed, at cruise they throttle back and it’s okay!

Try:
Climbing to FL370 - [FPM: +100]
after 3 hours or something like that
Climbing to FL390 - [FPM: +100]

That’s right - difficult to say which way you need to trim without seeing it (but I think you probably need to trim up). Just as long as there is no pink line.
