Ignoring reserves, how much fuel is needed over a distance of 360 NM if an aircraft’s fuel consumption is 300 l/h? The TAS is 210 kt and the headwind component is 30 kt.
1. Calculate your Ground Speed:
GS = TAS - headwind = 210 kt - 30 kt = 180 kt
2. Calculate flight time to cover 360 NM:
Time = Distance / Speed
360 NM / 180 kt = 2 hours
3. Using the aircraft’s fuel consumption is 300 l/h, calculate the fuel consumption:
2 h x 300 l/h = 600 l
Note: Question states that reserves should not be considered.
