distance divided by GS • Fuel rate—predetermined gallons per hour used at cruising speed NOTE: Additional fuel for adequate reserve should be added as a safety measure. Flight Planning Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part ... concerning that flight. For flights not in the vicinity of an airport, this must include information on available current weather reports and forecasts, fuel requirements, alternatives available if the planned flight cannot be completed, and any known traffic delays…

amount of fuel required for the flight, there should be sufficient fuel for reserve. When estimating consumption you must plan for cruise flight as well as startup and taxi, and higher fuel burn during climb. Remember that ground speed during ... same airspeed. Additional fuel for adequate reserve should also be added as a safety measure. Flight Computers Up to this point, only mathematical formulas have been used to determine such items as time, distance, speed, and fuel consumption. In reality…

cruise flight, the relatively high initial weight of the aircraft requires specific values of airspeed, altitude, and power setting to produce the recommended cruise condition. As fuel is consumed and the aircraft’s gross weight decreases, the optimum airspeed ... maximum design-operating radius or can achieve flight distances less than the maximum with a maximum of fuel reserve at the destination…
