MEL Fuel must be above the line

SimBrief Dispatch

MEL Fuel, when it is identified as such on the OFP, must be above the line. On this OFP in the Delta format, I have 10000 lbs MEL fuel, which is the required fuel for an inop wing tank fuel boost pump on a 767. That fuel must be a part of the required fuel as its carriage is not optional. Depending on the manufacturer, it may be nonburnable fuel (Boeing and Airbus), or burnable (McDonnell-Douglas), but it must be a part of the required fuel.

Hi Doug, sorry for the delay. This should be fixed in all OFP layouts now.

Let me know if you find any issues with the new updated layouts.

Cheers,
