Given the following information for a planned flight from MIKE to GAMMA, how much has the fuel flow increased?
Planned fuel consumption: 1125 kg/hr
Planned fuel remaining at GAMMA: 1010 kg
Actual fuel remaining at GAMMA: 960 kg
Flight time from MIKE to fly to GAMMA: 5 minutes
1. During the flight from MIKE to GAMMA the fuel consumption increases by:
- Planned fuel remaining at GAMMA - Actual fuel remaining at GAMMA
- 1010 kg - 960 kg = 50 kg
2. This 50 kg increase in the fuel consumption was for a 5-minute flight.
3. Thus, the increase in the fuel consumption in kg/hr is:
- 50 kg x 60/5 = 600 kg/hr
