Here a clip of what it says word for word in the current version...

Navigation Level 3

+1 to Maximum Burn Level (Fleet)
Increases the Burn bonus of the "Sustained Burn Ability" by 1 (Fleet)

My Fleet's Current RAW Burn Rate = 8 (8 is my slowest ship)
My Fleet's Burn Rate while at normal speed with this skill = 9
My Fleets actual Sustained Burn Rate = 18

Does anyone else see the problem?

The first part of the skill works perfectly... However, I never get the burn bonus on the Sustained burn.   9 x 100% = 18 When in fact, if it was adding an additional burn point to the sustained burn, it should be = 19       
8 + 1 for the first part = 9
Sustain burn 100% more = 18
1 extra burn speed for Sustained burn = 19  if one followed the math of what the skill states


Either the skill has a typo or bug?

I can see how this might be a bit confusing. Per the Sustained Burn tooltip:

"The burn level increase does not apply to flat burn bonuses, such as those from Nav Buoys or tugs."

This also applies to the Navigation bonuses, those being flat as well. So your speed with Sustained Burn is 8 * 2 + 1 + 1 = 18, while with it off it's 8 + 1 = 9.

Wouldn't it be easier to just say...
"+1 to Fleet Base Burn rate"

And just let everything else make perfect sense?

Well - to me, saying it modifies the "base" would imply that it *does* get doubled by the +100% bonus. The burn level tooltip makes the order in which things happen pretty clear, too, btw:
