Fuel Tankering Formula
Just wondering if someone could perhaps offer some wisdom. I am convinced I have missed something?
My understanding of checking if tankering is worthwhile or not is by doing the following:
1 - Calculate excess fuel to be tankered
2 - Calculate the fuel that will be burned to carry this fuel
3 - Use the result of 2 and divide that by 3 to calculate the percentage of excess fuel that will be burned
4 - Use the result of 3 to compare against the fuel price difference as a percentage between departure and destination airfield. If the price difference is less than the result of 3 then tankering is not suggested and vice versa.
Thanks
