Taxi time fuel
Hi everybody, which is the value calculated for taxi time in your OFP? I read that this value now varies airport to airport based on airline statistics about taxi time? Is it true?
A general value of 14 mins and 140kg (A319) how many minutes of APU on allows?

We don't have a fixed value, it varies from 14' to 25'. Generally we have 10/5mins of APU, just for start up, because some airports have noise restrictions and GPU and air conditioning available.
I usually with hot or cold weather add 200kgs to block fuel for APU. Almost everytime block fuel 6047 is rounded to 6300

Also here, the taxi time and the alloted fuel is dependent on the airport. Of course, it is nothing more than an educated guess, especially at the homebase: if one is parked close to the departure runway, usually much less is needed; if deicing is required and the parking stand is remote, it obviously is the opposite.
With regards to the APU burn: Your OM-B should contain figures for APU burn per hour. For exact figures with regards to APU allowance in the taxi fuel, probably Your companies performance department or the dispatch might hold the exact answer. Anything I could write here would be a guess at best.
