Computing Leg Fuel and Estimated Fuel Remaining (EFR)

STEP 4: COMPUTING LEG FUEL AND ESTIMATED FUEL REMAINING (EFR)

The next step is to use the ETE just computed to find how much fuel will be used

for each leg and the estimated fuel remaining (EFR) at the next point. The fuel

flow for this problem is 240pph. Utilizing fuel computation procedures from

chapter 3, there will be 68# of fuel burned on the first leg. Subtract this leg fuel

from the starting fuel (815#) to arrive at the estimated fuel remaining (EFR) over

the next turn point, Blountstown. The results of these computations are entered

in the appropriate jet log blocks as shown in Figure 4.7-14.

Each of the flight planning steps is repeated for the remaining legs and logged.
