Hi there,
I’ve never operated in Europe or the USA and am interested in how the fuel policies stack up in Australia by comparison.
I operate the 737 NG and over the years have noticed that slowly but surely our Operational Flight Plans are putting us overhead destination with less fuel in tanks on nice days ( no alternate required here).
If I had to guess I’d say that we average about 3000kg in tanks when we shut down ( I often see 2.4 and I often see 3.2 on nice days).
What I would like to know from those of you operating in Europe and the USA is if those figures are comparable to what you see at work? I am specifically talking about flights where there are no weather related risks and about narrow body jets (737/A320).
Thanks in advance,qanda
