Reserve Fuel: (45
minutes at Economy Cruise Power):
Enter the cruise
power settings table for Economy
Cruise Power at
11,500 feet for ISA (assume ISA Fuel
Flow Rate).
Fuel Flow Per Engine
= 10.3 gal;hr
Total Fuel Flow = 20.6 gal;hr (124 Ib;hr)
Reserve Fuel =(45 min) (124 Ib;hr) =93 Ibs (15.5 gal)
Total Fuel
= 48.6 + 15.5 =64.1 gallons
The estimated landing
weight is determined by subtracting
the fuel required for the flight from the ramp weight
Assumed ramp weight = 5424 Ibs
Estimated fuel from DEN to
AMA = 64.1 gal (385 Ibs)
Estimated landing
weight = 5424 -385 = 5039 Ibs
Examples have been provided on the performance graphs.
The above conditions have been used
throughout. Rate of
climb was determined for the initial cruise altitude
conditions.
