A333 Sydney - Hong Kong
Offspring is doing an aviation degree and asks the following as part of an assignment
Do you know if it’s possible to find/where I would find information on the A330-300 and its general fuel burns? Specifically for a flight Sydney-Hong Kong-Sydney. Yes, I know that it is very variable due winds, loads, etc. but just looking for a general figure. I know Qantas do that route with that plane so it’s possible the info is out there somewhere in the realms of internet land. |
The SYD-HKG vv trip fuel is about 54.5T in the RR-powered A333 at MTOW, average wind close to nil.
|
Rough fuel burn 6T/hr is what I use.
|
Given the number of CX A333 flights operating this route it may be worth posting your question in the Fragrant Harbour forum also.
|
Fuel Formula weight to litres
divided by .795 to convert Weight to litres
international flights do use Specific Gravity of the day but .795 is the stock standard |
