Considering the following fuel data, how much trip fuel is required?

Fuel for start-up and taxi: 5 L
Fuel for take-off and climb: 12 L
Fuel for cruise flight: 25 L
Fuel for descent, approach and landing: 7 L
Fuel for taxi and parking: 3 L
Fuel to alternate: 13 L
Final reserve fuel: 10 L

  • A

    75 L

  • B

    52 L

  • C

    49 L

  • D

    44 L

According to EASA AIR OPS, trip fuel is the amount of fuel that is required to enable the aeroplane to fly from take-off, or from the point of in-flight re-planning, to landing at the destination aerodrome, including:

  • Fuel for take-off and climb from the aerodrome elevation to the initial cruising level/altitude, taking into account the expected departure routing: 12 L.
  • Fuel from the top of climb to the top of descent (cruise flight), including any step climb/descent: 25 L.
  • Fuel from the top of descent to the point where the approach procedure is initiated and fuel for making an approach and landing at the destination aerodrome, taking into account the expected arrival routing: 7 L.

Therefore, the trip fuel is: 12 L + 25 L + 7 L = 44 L.
