Radius of action to a moving base used to give me the rar-tars,
what application it had to civil use was a mystery to me, as it
was only applicable to returning to an aircraft carrier.
Your 'Radius of Action' Lead S sounds similar to 'Base
To Remote Strip' (as per my last post). The BTRS was
a question like this -
Given: A twin 5700kg twin with perf and fuel data.
You fly 10 pax out with 73kg baggage to a mining camp.
You dump the pax and bags and return back with 8 pax
and 220kg baggage/cargo. No fuel avbl at the camp. The
FOB after arrival was XX gals.
How far out did you fly given a 40kt H/W outbound?
The FOB on arr comprised 45min FR and 10% VR.
From there you calculated the fuel he must've burnt.
One had to take into account DPNR1 in association
with ETP.
IIRC there were 14 cases of BTRS depending on who
and what got dumped and what didn't, and fuel at the
camp or not. As I said I couldn't ever work the damn
things out.
