737ng Fuel Planning!!!
Hi all!
I´m a little bit confused about what does "FINAL RESERVE FUEL" and "DIVERSION FUEL" exactly means? What things we have to take into consideration? and What are the correct 737NG values in pounds and Kg for: "FINAL RESERVE FUEL and HOLDING FUEL"?
I´ve recently made a fuel planning for the B736 but I´m not sure if all the information is correct or if something is missing.
Here we go!
TAXI FUEL: 500 lbs (15 min)
TRIP FUEL: 5815 lbs (465 nm 75min F350)
CONTINGENCY FUEL: 582 lbs (10 % trip fuel 7.5 min) Could be 5 %
ALTERNATE FUEL: 5783 lbs (465 nm 74 min F360)
FINAL RESERVE FUEL: 4000 lbs (I´m not so sure. I think this value is the minimum landing fuel after having burned TRIP, CONTINGENCY, ALTERNATE AND HOLDING FUEL)
* I think i´m missing the "HOLDING FUEL" value
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Santiago
