Long Range Cruise Trip Fuel and Time
Long Range Cruise Trip Fuel and Time tables are provided to determine
trip time and fuel required to destination.
To determine trip fuel and time for a constant altitude cruise, first enter the
Ground to Air Miles Conversion table to convert ground distance and
enroute wind to an equivalent still air distance for use with the Reference
Fuel and Time tables. Next, enter the Reference Fuel and Time table with
air distance from the Ground to Air Miles Conversion table and the desired
altitude and read Reference Fuel and Time Required. Lastly, enter the Fuel
Required Adjustment table with the Reference Fuel and the planned
landing weight to obtain the adjustment to the fuel required at the planned
landing weight.
Long Range Cruise Step Climb Trip Fuel and Time
The Long Range Cruise Step Climb Trip Fuel and Time tables are provided
to determine trip time and fuel required to destination when flying a step
climb profile. Step climb profiles are based on 4000 ft step climbs to keep
the flight within 2000 ft of the optimum altitude for the current cruise
weight. To determine trip fuel and time, enter the Ground to Air Miles
Conversion table and determine air distance as discussed above. Then
enter the Trip Fuel and Time Required table with air distance and planned
landing weight to read trip fuel. Continue across the table to read trip time.
Short Trip Fuel and Time
These tables are provided to determine trip fuel and time for short
distances or alternates. Obtain air distance from the table using the ground
distance and wind component to the alternate. Enter the Trip Fuel and Time
Required table with air distance and read trip fuel required for the expected
landing weight, together with time to alternate at right. For distances
greater than shown or other altitudes, use the Long Range Cruise Trip Fuel
and Time tables.
Holding Planning
This table provides total fuel flow information necessary for planning flaps
up holding and reserve fuel requirements. Data is based on the FMC
holding speed schedule which is the higher of the maximum endurance and
flaps up maneuver speeds. As noted, the fuel flow is based on flight in a
racetrack holding pattern. For holding in straight and level flight, reduce
table values by 5%.
