Plan REMF/ Remaining Fuel

Please add a minimum remaining fuel option - not to be confused with reserve fuel.

At the company I work for all flights are planned to land with no less than 60 minutes of fuel remaining. This is 45 minute reserve + everything else. After calculating the reserve and anything else like contingency, if the planned remaining fuel at the destination is below the set REMF value then simBrief should add the difference in. Planning 45 minute reserve and 15 minutes of contingency on simBrief does not give the correct REMF values on any of the aircraft, and that can be the case RW. The software will uplift whatever it needs to meet the REMF value and that’s what I am hoping simBrief can do. PFPX did this and it is something I really miss since that is how flights are planned at my company.

Example: I’m planning a flight with an A320ceo and I need at minimum 5,500lbs REMF when I land. It’s a good weather day so I only plan the standard 45 minute reserve + 15 minutes contingency, but the REMF at the destination ends up at 5,000lbs. simBrief will add an extra 500lbs to give me my configured 5,500lbs REMF.

+1 if the REMF value can be added to the specific user aircraft profile and loaded in to the dispatch page in lieu of the default value when planning a flight. So if can configured N123AB to have a REMF of 5,500lbs and then configure N789XZ to have 4,500lbs and not have to set it when I an flight planning.

+1 for this option, especially the last one which we can customize for each reg.
