En-route weather not clear. Some weather were for ground weather only. Should be for the flight level weather the whole route. Weather for destination airport missing.

Lack of route wind direction explanation - resulting in poor ground speed calculation;.

Aircraft weight not converted to metric tonne.

16. Common Mistakes
knowledge of aircraft instruments and equipment carried on board poor;
Knowledge on wind condition on flight route poor;
Confusion between "Dry Operating Weight" and "Zero Fuel Weight" 
Aircraft fuel consumption put in many format; - it should be "tonne per hour".
Knowledge on normal cruising speed poor;
Knowledge on how flight time is derived poor.
