Fuel load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Fuel load = Mission fuel+Reserve fuel
W_f = W_misf+W_resf
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Fuel load - (Measured in Kilogram) - Fuel load may be available fuel (consumable fuel) or total fuel and is usually dry weight.
Mission fuel - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mission fuel is that fuel at the time of take-off.
Reserve fuel - (Measured in Kilogram) - Reserve fuel for manoeuvring, holding, aborting the landing and making a diversion flight.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mission fuel: 8761 Kilogram --> 8761 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Reserve fuel: 738 Kilogram --> 738 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_f = W_misf+W_resf --> 8761+738

Evaluating ... ...

W_f = 9499

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9499 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9499 Kilogram <-- Fuel load

what is fuel load?

fuel load is considered a total of fuel required during take off and during time of flight and manoeuvring,aborting etc

How to Calculate Fuel load?

Fuel load calculator uses Fuel load = Mission fuel+Reserve fuel to calculate the Fuel load, Fuel load is the amount of fuel present expressed quantitatively in terms of weight of fuel per unit area. This may be available fuel (consumable fuel) or total fuel and is usually dry weight.the formula for calculating fuel load for a specific flight typically involves estimating fuel consumption rates for each phase of the flight and adding reserves for contingencies. Fuel load is denoted by W_f symbol.

How to calculate Fuel load using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Fuel load, enter Mission fuel (W_misf) & Reserve fuel (W_resf) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Fuel load calculation can be explained with given input values -> 9499 = 8761+738.
