DC-8 Fuel Burn
Hi all,
I'm trying to recreate a realistic fuel burn figure of a DC-8-33 for simulation purposes.
European continent carriers (KLM, SAS) would cross the atlantic from Prestwick to Gander on their way to New York and back.
I know this could be done with a full passenger load either way across the pond.
What I would like to know is:
- When fully loaded with both Fuel and Passengers on departure, how much fuel would a 8-33 have left after the Preston-Gander hop? If you could give me an estimate in pounds that would be excelent, but hours of fuel left would also be very useful. I realise they had to account for head- and tailwinds, but an estimate in a neutral situation (a mean of both ways) would be just fine (of course, if any of you have more specific data, this would be largely appreciated).
- What flight levels where typically used by the DC-8-33 on the Prestwick Gander route?
Thanks for any input.
Nils
