Good morning all,
This thread was in tech log and it was suggested I may have some luck down under, as there are B717 operating as well as a few other types I have not been able to find!
Was wondering if turbo prop/jet pilots could help with their block fuel?
As part of a university project I am undertaking research into how the pilots make sure a company offered fuel load is acceptable: What gross error checks are used?

Fokker F27
DHC8 (all types)
ATR 42 and 72
CRJ200
B717
DC9 ( all types)
A320- A321
A330 200 and 300
A330 NEO (800-900)
A340 300 and 600
A350
B757 200 and 300
B767 200ER and 300 ER
B777 all series
B787 900

All replies and all turbo prop and jet aircraft types, not just those listed are appreciated!
Thanks in advance

On the A330-200 we can press the fuel planning key to see what the aircraft thinks is required after we have put in the flight plan data and weights.

I use it as a gross error check before I put in the actual block fuel we have.

B717 2200kg/h as above, or
2000kg for the first 20 minutes, then 2000kg/h thereafter, or
3000kg for the first hour, then 2000kg/h.
Based on MTOW departure.
May be significantly less at lower weights.

Doh! Duly corrected, I had 1100/hr in my old book, but it was a gross error figure.
