Q

Enroute fuel management

A

seeks to maximize the weight in the outboard fuel tanks as long as possible but does not take mission constraints into consideration while doing so. Improves wing-loading and efficiency during long transit legs; it also extends airframe service life, especially with medium to heavy cargo loads.

Q

A 
F. Fuel temperature
A. Alternate Fuels
I. Icing
T. Temperature
H. High speed cruise
P. Partial power cruise
A. Altitude
W. Winds/Weight
116
Q

Factors affecting range:

Fuel temperature

A

Maximum range is affected by fuel temperature variation because of the change in fuel density.

117
Q

Factors affecting range:

Alternate fuels

A

Alternate fuels, because of their density, also vary range capabilities.

118
Q

Factors affecting range:

Icing

A

Since the aircraft pressurization and wing and empennage anti-icing is accomplished with hot bleed air from the engine compressor, a power loss occurs when these systems are used. The pressurization power loss is small, but the anti-icing power loss under severe conditions can result in losses up to 25 to 30 percent. Normally the aircraft will cruise above the altitudes where most icing weather occurs.

Maximum anti-icing will increase fuel flow 15% for the same cruise flight condition.

119
Q

Factors affecting range:

Temperature

A

Non-standard temperature – refer to the perf man

Range will increase 2 percent for each 10 degrees C above standard temp, and decrease 2 percent for each 10 degrees below standard temperature.

120
Q

Factors affecting range:

High-speed cruise

A

Fly constant maximum cruise power. Range will increase 5% for each 10 degrees C above standard and decrease 5% for each 10 degrees C below standard

121
Q

Factors affecting range:

Partial power cruise

A

Maximum range is obtained by four-engine operation at optimum cruise altitude.

122
Q

Factors affecting range:

Altitude

A

Since engine specific fuel consumption improves with increasing altitude, maximum range is obtained by four-engine cruise-climb operation.

123
Q

Factors affecting range:

Weight/Wind

A

If HW of more than 70 knots are encountered, increase airspeed by 4 knots for every 10 knots above 70 knots.

Weight, a new power setting should be set for each 5,000 pounds of fuel burned.

124
Q

Fuel requirements for all flights:

A
  1. Avg fuel for taxi and runup is 500 pounds
  2. If an alternate is not required, t/o to destination, plus a reserve of 10% of planned fuel requirements. If an alternate is required, t/o to IAF at destination, then to an alt airfield, plus a reserve of 10 percent of planned fuel requirements.
  3. Approach and landing fuel of 1,000 pounds
  4. Holding fuel of 1,334 pounds (20 minutes of fuel at 10,000 feet maximum endurance, four engines)
  5. Overwater flights where no alt is available, holding fuel increase to 2 hours at MAX END, at 20k feet
125
Q

Additional overwater requirements for ETP

A

ETP will be calculated at cruise alt and 10k feet, and use 245 KTAS is recommended since it is the average TAS on four engines, long range cruise

126
Q

What is ETP defined as?

A

Defined as the point at which the aircraft will be required to spend the same amount of time continuing to destination or returning to the departure point.

127
Q

What is Point of Safe Return?

A

PSR is the point along the planned route at which the aircraft can return to the departure airfield and arrive with no more and no less than required fuel. PSR should be calculated for all overwater flights.

128
Q

What is Point of No Return?

A

PNR is the point along the planned route at which the aircraft can return to the departure airfield and land with zero fuel. If the aircraft were to proceed beyond the PNR and attempt to return to the departure airfield, it would run out of fuel prior to arrival. PNR should be calculated for all overwater flights.

129
Q

What characterizes a high speed landing?

A
  1. 100% flap landing above 155,000 pounds
  2. 50% flap landing above 130,000 pounds
  3. All 0% flap landings
  4. All landings at field elevation greater than 4,000’ MSL
  5. Temp greater than ISA +15degrees C, all landings at field elevation greater than 2,000’ MSL
130
Q

Do not move the power levers below FLT IDLE above ___KIAS during a high speed landing. What happens?

A

145 KIAS

An over-frequency will occur causing the engine-driven generators to trip off-line, which leads to a lost in anti-skid protection.
