Flight Planning & Monitoring
Hi all,
I'm currently working on Flight Planning & Monitoring (Chapter: Practical Completion of Flight Plan; subpart: Completion of fuel plan) and came across a few sneaky question where there is no reference to the respective Figure (to be used) given. Here are a few examples.
1. (For this question use Fuel Planning MRJT1)
The airplane gross mass at top of climb (TOC) is 61.500 kg. Distance to be flow is 385 NM at FL 350 and OAT -54.3°C. The wind component is 40 kt tailwind. Use long range cruise procedure what fuel is required? 2.150 kg
2. (Information given: use Route Manual chart E(HI)4)
Flight from Paris Charles de Gaulle (N49 00.9 E002 36.9) to London Heathrow (N51 29.2 W 000 27.9) (twin jet). The alternate is Manchester (N53 21.4 W002 15.7).
Preplanning:
Wind from London to Manchester 250°/30 kt
Distance from London to Manchester 160 NM
Estimated landing mass at alternate about 50.000 kg
Find alternate fuel and time: 1.450 kg and 32 min
How do I know which chart/Figure(s) to use to come up with the answer? And how do I work it out?
Any advise greatly appreciated!
