Kenan Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I would like to add just enough fuel in the mission so I can get from point A to point B ie., in order to use the fuel as rationally/eficiently as possible.

Frederf Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Best reference is the A-10A Dash-1 ( http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6XZJKVCA ) For an A-to-B transit you have a distance which suggests a zero-wind cruising altitude. From there you figure out the fuel to climb, add in the burn from TOC to destination at altitude, and an allowance for maneuvering at the destination. There are allowances for start & taxi and if you know the weather headwind component. Civilian IFR requirements are to land at destination (or even alternate) with no less than 45 minutes fuel so add that plus some actual cushion. Best economy speeds will be calculable for a given weight, drag, and altitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this was asked before. Thanks in advance. Thats a good idea, specially for a strike mission, but not really important for A-10s and dedicated CAS flights, when time on station is what really matters. Banned by cunts.
