ATPL Flight Planning - Class 2: Fuel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the 2nd class in a new Flight Planning series
We need to take fuel with us on board an aircraft in order to get to our destination. We can break down the fuel into different sections that we only use for certain situations that way we get a far more accurate fuel value.

Very clear and well explained! I'm going to have my flight planning classes! I hope you could post other videos as soon as possible! I would be very grateful for that!

Nice video, very clear and useful!! suprissed it had +2.9K views and only 80 likes!! Cmon guys lets help as we are helped!!

Cheers, mate. Thank you for all these videos.

@user-gi3vx7wr6q Месяц назад

Very well explained 👏 I'm currently studying for a MPL program for next year, and your videos are very helpful to my transition process from a neanderthal builder. I'm totally hooked on this now 😁

@mirros945 6 месяцев назад

Extremely glad to see EASA peeps actively on youtube. Need more!

@azyanziyad1291 Год назад

Really well explained Grant, I am also becoming a pilot and am studying and videos like this made it clear and understandable Even to the basics of things.👍

Glad it helped!

@TheEagle006 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for the amazing helpful video. I have a question please, for min 17:09 why is the circle for ERA radius calculation not from Destination B, but from C which is the ERA?

@atplclass 11 месяцев назад

Yes it should be what you are saying. I made a mistake but luckily because the ERA is half way along the route it doesn't make a difference.

@Rodhern Год назад

Very well explained. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. In the last example, for the 3% rule, I think you meant to draw the circle on the B side of C (just cosmetics, of course), right?

@atplclass Год назад

Great point! Luckily for me point "c" is half way so it doesn't make a difference haha

@Dragonborn2k 4 месяца назад

Just making sure as I use your videos as my bible before getting into any Q's, for the RCF Procedure, do we use fuel from Departure through the DP to the Alternate as stated @12:50, or only from the DP to the Alternate as is mentioned @20:50? Also what or who determines the Decision Point and Pre-Determined Point? Or do we even need to know that? Cheers!

@olivernicklin2331 3 месяца назад

Hello, just a question about the RCF example. PadPilot states that it is 3% fuel for the trip between the origin and the alternate via the DP? Thanks for the video!

@isaaelg90 Год назад

Hi, thanks for this very much! I might have missed this but, what about the fuel required for taxiing to gate after landing? Is that counted in additional fuel or trip fuel? Since the definition of Taxi fuel is from gate to takeoff runway.

@atplclass 11 месяцев назад

Its usually included in trip fuel

@alexattarantato1428 2 месяца назад

Great video but ATPQ states otherwise, about the 3% exercise it says that since we are not inside the 20% radius circle we shall use the 5% contingency of the total distance or remaining distance in case of in-flight replanning instead of the rcfp. any suggestion?

@atplclass 2 месяца назад

If you have no suitable ERA within the 20% radius then you should default to 5% contingency.

@dimitriskontoudakis9985 3 месяца назад

About PDP procedure when going to destination Airport. When on propeller, you have to choose between 45min plus 15% trip DEP to DEST or 2hours. You take the bigger or the lower of these 2 ??

@misaair 3 месяца назад

Hello, at 15:50 to my understanding you specified that in either cases there has to be final reserve fuel beside the additional fuel. But according to what I found, final reserve fuel is already included in additional fuel and additional fuel should not be less than Final reserve. Can you elaborate if I misunderstood something?

@atplclass 3 месяца назад

Final reserve fuel is it's own separate category that always has to be included in the total fuel figure. Additional fuel is only there for a supplementary procedure where we might need more fuel.

@philip857 3 месяца назад

So to determine the additional fuel for jets, we take the lowest of either 2 hours fuel, or 30 minutes holding fuel? It sounds like the 30 minutes of holding fuel is always gonna be the least of the 2 values, am I right?

@atplclass 3 месяца назад

When your are flying up at altitude you burn a lot less fuel than when down low (holding) in a Jet so it might be closer than you think!

@user-hf4ln9nt3x Год назад

Just a question regarding picking which fuel to take for the PDP procedure. How do we know weather to choose the destination fuel values or the alternate? This would have to be decided before the flight, as if we initially choose fuel for the alt (30min holding) and then at the PDP we decide to go to the destination, we wont have the 2 hours of fuel. Just my understanding of the explanation but I'm sure I've missed a key detail somewhere as this cant be the case.

@atplclass Год назад

You always take the larger of the fuel values. That way you are covered if you decide to go to the destination or the alternate.

@jesperalbers2067 9 месяцев назад

great video, thnx! One question, in the ATPL practice exams there is a question about taxi fuel +apu fuel burn at both the departure airport as well as the destination airport. Is this fuel added to the taxi fuel or the takeoff fuel (I would assume the last)?

@atplclass 9 месяцев назад

Taxi fuel is normally just for departure. This is because we want to know our Take-off mass precisely so we can do Ramp Mass - Taxi fuel to get Take-off Mass. At the destination airport after we land we aren't that concerned with measuring the difference in mass between landing and getting onto stand. If we land with final reserves in tact, then we can in theory burn into that fuel to get to the stand because we are no longer flying and don't need it. So we don't really need to consider loading extra fuel for a long taxi in for example.

@thomasdunleavy5872 5 месяцев назад

One question: where is taxi fuel at destination considered? I understand taxi at destination is generally quick, but since it isn’t considered in trip fuel, does it start to dip into final reserve fuel? And if there is an emergency that requires use of FRF after diverting to an alternate, a truly worst case scenario, Let’s say 25 min. Then you land and have a ten minute taxi, will you just run out of fuel 5 minutes into the taxi? Of course taxi uses considerably less fuel, but just for example sake, where does destination taxi fuel come from?

@atplclass 4 месяца назад

Usually this isn't really a consideration. If we do hit that absolute disaster situation and don't have enough fuel to taxi to the gate then we can always stop and be towed in by a tow truck. This would be very unlikely to happen as we should always have some fuel left in the tanks.

@jon486jkbij Год назад

when will we get the flightplaning practice exam that you have teased?

@atplclass Год назад

Oh not for a while I'm afraid. I'm struggling to find time to film at the moment as work is so busy. I will get there eventually though. I should have a bit more time next week to get ahead with the filming.

@louisflmd2543 6 месяцев назад

Hello. Thanks a lot for the class. I have some questions. 1) 3%contingency : center of Circle 25% from dep or dest ? 2) There some new changes about fuel policy EASA, is it taken into account in this class ?

@atplclass 6 месяцев назад

1 - Destination. 2 - What are these changes, because i haven't heard of anything changing

@louisflmd2543 6 месяцев назад

@@atplclass apparently there are some changes, for example the fuel at discretion of the captain is not included in the extra anymore and is called Discretionary (or SCD) fuel.

@bonnystarks Месяц назад

Hello, I am wrong ? you said that 3%contingency center of Circle 25% is from destination, but the exemple you made the center from departure ?

@atplclass 27 дней назад

Yeah i made a bit of a mistake, in this example luckily it doesn't make that much difference because airport C is half way. So the circle for our 3% contingency can be in either the first or second half and not make a difference.
