7ER Fuel Considerations

Question 1

What is the max allowable difference between flight deck fuel on board and EFSR/FSR?

Answer 1

Narrowbody: 300 Lbs
Widebody: 500 Lbs

*If there is no known reason for the difference and the flight deck indications vary more than these numbers, then contact the fueler to have wing panel quantity validated. If it can’t be validated, contact MCC.

Question 2

What is the max allowable difference between flight plan BLOCK FUEL and fuel quantity gauges/display?

Answer 2

Narrowbody: +1,000/-200 Lbs
Widebody: +1,500/-500 Lbs

*If outside these tolerances, have fuel load adjusted, or contact dispatch for new/amended release. New/amended release is not required if fuel quantity is less than BLOCK FUEL due to APU burn and fuel on board is greater than MIN FUEL FOR T/O + TAXI FUEL

Question 3

What is the maximum allowable pre-fueling imbalance?

Answer 3

1,500 Lbs

If more than this, the fueler must contact a fueling or Delta ramp supervisor. If the cause of the imbalance can be determined, the “remarks” section of the EFSR/FSR should include an explanation. Eg: FUELER RMKS-APU RUN
