What are the fuel flow requirements for aircraft?
What are the fuel flow requirements for aircraft? The fuel flow rate for gravity systems (main and reserve supply) must be 150 percent of the takeoff fuel consumption of the engine.
What is the minimum fuel dump requirement for aircraft?
The average rate of fuel jettison must be at least 1 percent of the maximum weight per minute, except that the total time required to jettison the amount of fuel to reduce the aircraft weight from maximum takeoff to maximum landing need not be less than 10 minutes.
What are the fuel requirements for EASA?
Appropriately called Basic Scheme, this scheme follows well-known and standard fuel/energy planning with 5% contingency fuel, at least one nominated alternate and 30 minutes of final reserve fuel/energy. The usual caveats apply, including all AMCs for Basic Fuel Schemes.
What are IFR fuel requirements?
Instrument Flight Rules: Pilots are required to plan for fuel to a destination, to an alternate and after that for 45 minutes at normal cruising speed or, for helicopters, fly after that for 30 minutes at normal cruising speed.
