TUTORIAL #2
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE 27FEB15 RTM
We’ll add 1000lbs (454 kg) extra to account for the circling
approach.
The LOWI approaches are very challenging and there’s a very
real chance you may have to go-around and execute the missed
approach procedure, which involves a high thrust climb and
circling back to try again.
We’ll add 573 lbs (260 kg) extra to account for the possibility of
extra go-arounds. This number comes from the FPPM.
It’s also quite possible that a hold over RTT may be required if there’s
weather at LOWI. To account for this we’ll add 30 minutes of hold fuel.
Holding uses around 84 lbs (38 kg) per minute. (assumes best
hold speed at 1500 feet above ground level)
84 lbs * 30 = 2520 lbs hold fuel
(38 kg * 30 = 1140 kg hold fuel)
Our total extra fuel is thus:
1000 lbs + 573 lbs + 2520 lbs = 4093 lbs extra
(454 kg + 260 kg + 1140 kg = 1854 kg extra)
Our total main route fuel requirement thus is:
7346 lbs + 367 lbs + 390 lbs + 4093 lbs = 12196 lbs main route
fuel
(3330 kg + 167 kg + 176 kg + 1854 kg = 5527 kg main route
fuel)
