Given the following information, and taking into account that the fuel was initially calculated with no wind, what is the updated Trip Fuel for the flight?
Trip Fuel (no wind): 2000 kg
Flight time (no wind): 2 hours
Distance: 240 NM
Headwind: 20 kt
- (1) Calculate original Fuel Flow:
- (2) Calculate the original Ground Speed (which equals TAS in no wind conditions):
240 NM / 2 h = 120 kt
- (3) Calculate new Ground Speed (with a 20 kt Headwind):
- (4) Calculate New Flight time:
- (5) Calculate Fuel consumed:
