I donno what the error is

Intent intent = getIntent(); intent.getStringExtra("FUEL_LEVEL");

what is wrong in it

FlightActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;

public class FlightActivity extends Activity {

  public int mFuelLevel = 0;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);

    // Add your code below!
      Intent intent = getIntent();
      intent.getStringExtra("FUEL_LEVEL");
  }
}

You need to set mFuelLevel to the value from the Intent. Also, you forgot the default value of -1.
