Can any body help me out with the weigh to fuel ratio of a 744F
need to find out how you calculate it
PLEASE HELP
Tony
744F Max TOW 395T
Max Fuel Cap 164T

What exactly do you mean by weight to fuel ratio? There is a calculation of fuel consumption per kilo of freight per mile carried...
:confused:

Wind/flight level/ISA/alternates/wx? I take it that you are not a pilot Tony.......all this is just put into the computer and a figure is spat out that takes everything into account, you might be better off asking your question in the forum for flight despatchers, a kind one of whom may run your figures for you on a slack night....providing you provide some cast iron security information that is!:suspect:
