I am doing a flight from LA to Honolulu. I have failed to fuel the plane up for the flight sufficiently. I have 2 hours left in the flight and I only have 1 hour and 5 minutes left of fuel. I am currently over the Pacific Ocean with nowhere to land in case of emergency. What should I do to preserve fuel until I have a safe place to land?

Just to add, what server are you on too? 🙃
I am on the training server.
May you send a screenshot of where you are if possible? and or what’s your callsign so people can check on liveflight to offer some help maybe
Do you have a strong headwind? Because your speed seems a little low if i don’t say so myself, if not what’s your mach speed
(I hate Liveflight on mobile, perfect on PC.)
Can I suggest shortening your fpl to as direct as possible to reduce the distance from your destination
Get your MAYDAY MAYDAY calls ready!!

You’re cruising at .64 try going to .80 on the off chance if you have flaps set, please put them up once you have reached .80

Yes, where do you think the best airport to land at is? Maybe PHTO? That’s 2 hours away and I only have 45 minutes left of fuel.
OK I’m flying at Mach 0.80 now…
And how is your fuel doing now
A little better around 50 minutes of fuel left at .80 and flaps set to 2.
Flaps up. please no flaps at cruise

^ As suggested right about here ^
Do this and you should be on your way!
Hope it all goes well and safe landings! [I got to sleep :(]
Flaps increase drag…
That is the main reason to have them up.
