CHAPTER SIX

MISSION COMPLETION FEASIBILITY

600.

INTRODUCTION

As you previously learned, the last item given in the WINGS-LEVEL Call is the EFR at the

destination initial final approach.

You must be able to accurately compute this figure early in the flight to ensure that you will not

run out of fuel before your destination, or place yourself in a precarious situation involving fuel.

Mission completion feasibility, simply put, is to determine if you can complete a mission and

land at your destination/alternate with the proper amount of fuel.
