Title: Re: how to calculate reserves and cost Post by Blover on Sep 26th, 2013 at 8:44pm
Hi, if you do your homework properly, expect to land the 777 in a straigh in approach with 20-21,000 lbs of residual fuel at the end of a flight.
This is 106 minutes of reserve plus an alternate within 75 nm Under the same condition the 757 will land with 9000 lbs of fuel. I dont know why but the 57 carries 19 minutes more in reserve Please dont come home with the FMC message "Insufficient fuel. " meaning FMC predict 2000 lbs or less at destination :( :'( Happy flying ;D Raymond Boeing or nothing KFLL South Florida |
