AIRBUS fuel saving documents
Some years ago, AIRBUS published some documents about fuel saving operations.
In the company I work for, we have had some discussion about the data in these documents, especially "Landing in CONF 3 – Use of reversers". Some of our "experts" do not think the data in these documents are valid for our A320/A321/A330, even though they are from the same period as these documents were published. E.g. the document states you on average will save 10 kg fuel doing a Flap 3 LDG on a A320 compared with a Flap Full LDG etc. Is there a knowledge person here, who can confirm if the below documents are still valid ? And have AIRBUS recently published more documents on fuel saving ? Thank you :-) Ref : Getting to grips with fuel economy Issue 3 - July 2004 & Landing in CONF 3 – Use of reversers 15th Performance & Operations conference april 2007 & Getting to grips with A320 Family performance retention and fuel savings Issue 2 - January 2008 |
I happen to have Airbusworld open on my other screen and can confirm that the latest revisions are
GTG with fuel economy - Issue 4 Oct 2004 A320 Family Performance Retention - Issue 2 Jan 2008. |
In the latest FCOM update there's a
GREEN OPERATING PROCEDURES at the back of the Supplementary Proc. Initially I thought it was something about the Green hyd system until I started reading it... It lists many ways you can save fuel - some good ideas, some impractical. Only thing that annoys me is Airbus calling it "Green" procedures. :hmm: |
