Re: Fuel consumption and SAT

When the temperatre is above standard the fuel consumption (Kg/hr) will be higher than standard so the fuel used in a given time period will be increased.

When the temperature is above standard, TAS will be higher than standard so trip time will be reduced.

The various allowances will be in the fuel planning.
