Refer to figure or CAP 697 Figure 2.2, Table 2.2.1.
Given the following information, what is the Trip Fuel for the planned Commercial Air Transport flight under VFR?

Power setting: Full throttle / 2500 RPM
GS: 130 kt
Trip distance from TOC: 190 NM
Cruising altitude: 8000 ft
OAT: ISA
Additional fuel for climb: 3.2 gal
Additional fuel for approach: 10 minutes at cruise fuel flow

  • A
    21.6 gal
  • B
    24.8 gal
  • C
    25.6 gal
  • D
    22.6 gal

Refer to figure.
Cruise time = 190 / 130 = 1.46 hr 
Additional fuel for approach (10 min) = 10/60 = 0.166 hr

Opening the attachment you can find fuel flow = 13.2 Gal per hour

Fuel consumption = (1.46 + 0.166) x 13.2 = 21.5 Gallon 
Additional fuel for climb = 3.2 gallon

Total planned fuel = 21.5 + 3.2 = 24.7 Gallons 
Closest Answer = 24.8 Gallon
