Total Flight Time
The total flight time is determined by adding the time to climb, the time to descend and the
cruise time. Remember! The time values taken from the climb and descent graphs are in minutes
and must be converted to hours before adding them to the cruise time.
The following flight time is required for our flight planning example.
(1)
Total Flight Time
(c)(3) plus (d)(l) plus (e)(6), (.13 hrs. plus .05 hrs. plus 2.40 hrs.)
2.58 hrs.
(g)
Total Fuel Required
Determine the total fuel required by adding the fuel to climb, the fuel to descend and the
cruise fuel. When the total fuel (in gallons) is determined, multiply this value by 6 lb/gal to
determine the total fuel weight used for the flight.
The total fuel calculations for our example flight plan are shown below.
(1)
Total Fuel Required
(c)(5) plus (d)(3) plus (e)(7), (1.5 gal. plus .5 gal. plus 20.4 gal.)
22.4 gal.
(22.4 gal. multiplied by 6 lb/gal.)
134.4 lbs.
