Hi there,
Would anyone have or know what Air Atlantique use or someone like that for a fuel planning?
Maybe it is not used but HOLD, CONT, RES etc. Just I know some people have info from Air Atantique!
Or point me in the right direction to fuel load this beast accurately as possible??
Thanks a mill

Dak fuel planning
Greetings Mark,
We operate our Daks on a full JAR AOC, and as such conform to standard JAR-OPS regs when it comes to fuel planning. So for our DC-3's we use the following......
Taxy - (to include all expected taxying and power checks) usually 10 IG
Trip - (fuel to destination. Work on 90 IG for the first hour then 80 for every hour after that.)
Contingency - 5% of trip fuel.
Alternate - (fuel to fly from overhead destination then to an alternate plus 5% contingency)
Final feserve fuel - (for us this is 50 IG)
Extra fuel - (any extra fuel if required by the commander i.e. if he expects a long hold, higher headwinds or not to get the route he's planned to take)
Add this all together and you get the total required.
Hope this helps.
Jon.

If he wanted me to fly higher, he'd have given me bigger lungs.
