Fuel check
Andy24. I think this is what you are looking for.
Multiply the flight time in minutes by 40. This will give you a quick ball park figure of your flight burn.
EG : time 4h 37 min (or 277 mins) times 40 = 11080 kg. Should be close.

I use the 40 kg per flight minute, adding a 10% if the airplane is heavy, and adding approx perf factor, too.
It is pretty accurare as a gross error check and I do it every flight
