Hi All
I have just started ATPL Flight Planning and just wondering if anyone that has done it has any short cuts, tips, tricks etc to pass on.
I am going through all of Nathans (AFT) notes and doing all the work, and am getting the hang of it, albeit quite slowly at the moment.
I know some people average out headings, winds etc and create "super sectors" and just including them within TOC and TOD, though not sure if that will yield a constant and accurate result.
I am especially interested if anyone has tricks on creating a good 'guesstimate' on flight fuel required that is more accurate than (NM x 10) + 1600 that would give me a good and more accurate figure to check my final figures against.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
