We're putting together our training material for the full ATPL(H)IR and have come across requirements for checking fuel.
Compare the actual and the planned fuel consumption by means of calculation or flight progress chart
Assess the remaining range and endurance by means of calculation or flight progress chart
At the risk of looking stupid, on a fixed wing type you'd normally do the fuel checks against a computer flight plan. Do helicopters use the same thing? If so, could anyone send me a sample, please? If not, how do you do it?
