Our airplanes tell on us too, although maybe the parameters are looser, I'll have to ask next time I fly with someone in the ISMS organization. I know for example that if I'm flying 300 kts at 5,000 ft I'm going to hear about it, but not if it's 260 at 9,500.
Do you then have to wait until the calculated and the totalizer fuel are below planned takeoff fuel, or just the calculated? Because in the 777 there can be a big difference.
