What exactly do you mean by weight to fuel ratio? There is a calculation of fuel consumption per kilo of freight per mile carried...

Wind/flight level/ISA/alternates/wx? I take it that you are not a pilot Tony.......all this is just put into the computer and a figure is spat out that takes everything into account, you might be better off asking your question in the forum for flight despatchers, a kind one of whom may run your figures for you on a slack night....providing you provide some cast iron security information that is!
