- Chapter 16: Navigation › Distance D = GS X T › Fuel Consumption
with reciprocating engines, the Aircraft Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) supplied by the aircraft manufacturer provides gallons-per-hour values to assist with preflight planning. When planning a flight, you must determine how much fuel is needed to reach ... your destination by calculating the distance the aircraft can travel (with winds considered) at a known rate of fuel consumption (gal/hr or lbs/hr) for the expected groundspeed (GS) and ensure this amount, plus an adequate reserve, is available on board…
- Chapter 2: En Route Operations › Fuel State Awareness
Fuel State Awareness In order to increase fuel state awareness, pilots are required to monitor the time and fuel remaining during an IFR flight. For example, on a flight scheduled for one hour or less, the flight crew may record ... time and fuel remaining at the top of climb (TOC) and at one additional waypoint listed in the flight plan. Generally, TOC is used in aircraft with an FMS, and represents the point at which cruise altitude is first reached…

fuel filter removes moisture and other sediment from the fuel before it reaches the engine. These contaminants are usually heavier than fuel and settle to the bottom of the fuel filter sump where they can be drained ... pilot. Figure 4-22. A typical gravity feed fuel system, in a helicopter with a reciprocating engine, contains the components shown here. Some fuel systems contain a small hand-operated pump called a primer. A primer allows fuel…

always a good habit, if possible, to visually verify the fuel on board prior to flight and determine if adequate fuel is present for the duration of the flight. Additionally, 14 CFR section 27.1305(l)(1) requires newer helicopters ... have warning systems “provide a warning to the flight crew when approximately 10 minutes of usable fuel remains in the tank.” Caution should be used to eliminate unnecessary or erratic maneuvering that could cause interruption of fuel flow…
- Chapter 6: Assessment › Scenario-Based Training
FITS program emphasizes combining traditional task and maneuver training with Scenario Based Training (SBT) to teach the advanced pilot judgment and risk management skills required in the SRM environment. In many respects, scenario-based training is not a new concept ... Experienced flight instructors have been using scenarios to teach cross country operations, emergency procedures, and other flight skills for years. Scenario-based training puts the learner pilot into the normal cross-country environment much earlier than traditional flight training programs…

fuel pressure warning lights are also common on jet transport aircraft. The sensors for these are located in the boost pump outlet line. They give an indication of possible boost pump failure. Fuel quantity gauges are important features ... aircraft. Indications exist for all tanks on a transport category aircraft. Often, these use a capacitance type fuel quantity indication system and a fuel totalizer as is discussed later in this chapter. The location of fuel instrumentation varies depending…
