7-10. RESERVE FUEL.
Reserve Fuel is calculated for 45 minutes at Maximum
Range Power @ 1700 RPM. Use planned cruise
altitude (22,000 feet), forecasted ISA condition (ISA +
17°C), and estimated weight at end of planned trip
(10,091 pounds). (Since the lowest weight column in
the tables is 11,000 pounds, assume weight at the end
of the planned trip to be 11, 000 pounds, and use that
fuel flow value for this example.)
Enter the tables for MAXIMUM RANGE POWER
@ 1700 RPM for ISA + 10°C and ISA +20°C at 11,000
Lbs and 22,000 feet, and read the total fuel flows:
ISA +10°C ...............................................468 Lbs/hr
ISA +20°C ................................................484 Lbs/hr
Then interpolate for the fuel flow at ISA + 17°C as
follows: Change in Fuel Flow = 484 468 = 16
Lbs/hr.
Change in Temperature = (ISA +20°C) (ISA + 10
C) = 10°C.
Rate of Change in Fuel Flow = Change in Fuel
Flow + Change in Temperature.
Rate of Change in Fuel Flow = (16 Lbs/hr) +
(10°C).
Rate of Change in Fuel Flow = 1.6 Lbs/hr increase
per 1°C increase.
Temperature increase from ISA + 10°C to ISA
+17°C = 7°C.
Total Change in Fuel Flow = 7 X 1.6 Lbs/hr = 11.2
Lbs/hr.
Total Fuel Flow = (ISA +10°C Fuel Flow) + (Total
Change in Fuel Flow).
Total Fuel Flow = (468) + (11.2) = 479.2 Lbs/ hr.
Reserve Fuel = 45 minutes X Total Fuel Flow.
Reserve Fuel = (0.75) X (479.2 Lbs/hr) = 359.4 =
360 lbs/hr.
Total Fuel Requirement = 1999 +360 = 2359
pounds.
7-11. ZERO FUEL WEIGHT LIMITATION.
For this example, the following conditions were
assumed:
Ramp Weight ................................... 12,090 pounds
Weight of Usable Fuel Onboard ..........2359 Pounds
Zero Fuel Weight = Ramp Weight - Weight of
Usable Fuel Onboard
Zero Fuel Weight = (12,090) (2359) = 9731
pounds
Maximum zero fuel weight limitation (from
Chapter 5) = 11,500 pounds.
Maximum Zero Fuel Weight Limitation has not
been exceeded.
Anytime the Zero Fuel Weight exceeds the
Maximum Zero Fuel Weight Limit, the excess must be
off-loaded from PAYLOAD. If desired, additional FUEL
ONLY may then be added until the ramp weight equals
the Maximum Ramp Weight Limit of 14,290 Lbs.
7-12. LANDING INFORMATION.
The estimated Landing Weight is determined by
subtracting the fuel required for the trip from the Ramp
Weight:
Ramp Weight .......................................... 12,090 Lbs
Fuel Required for Total Trip ................ 1999 pounds
Landing Weight (12,090 - 1999) . ...... 10,091 pounds

PERFORMANCE GRAPHS.
a.
In addition to presenting the answer for a
particular set of conditions, the example on a graph also
presents the order in which the various scales on the
graph should be used. For instance, if the first item in
the example is FAT, then enter the graph at the existing
FAT.
b.
The reference lines indicate where to begin
following the guidelines. Always project to the reference
line first, then follow the guidelines to the next known
item by maintaining the same PROPORTIONAL
