From Holding Tables:
Fuel consumption at 1500 ft .............................................. 1563 lb/h
For 30 min of holding, fuel ................................................. 782 lb
To determine the TOTAL FUEL ON TAKEOFF, let’s consider
5 minutes for taxi and an APU consumption equal to 110 lb.
TOTAL FUEL ON TAKEOFF = TRIP FUEL + FUEL TO ALTERNATE
+ RESERVE FUEL + HOLDING +
APU + TAXI
TOTAL FUEL ON TAKEOFF = 2900 + 1600 + 145 + 782 + 110 + 77
TOTAL FUEL ON TAKEOFF = 5614 lb
