REL Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hey Is there a way or a tool that calculates Bingo Fuel quantity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenra Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 There are a number of Mission Planning "Sample Problems" near the end of the T.O. 1A-10A-1-1 manual that detail fuel calculations. A wide variety of missions are covered, and the tables in that manual seem to apply well to the DCS A-10C. All of the examples include a "Landing Reserve" of 2000 lb. Of course you can also do a quick calculation by checking TOT with the CDU STEERPOINT page set to home plate and noting your fuel flow at cruise settings. Multiplying return flight time by fuel flow rate and adding the reserve yields an estimate of BINGO fuel quantity.

Eddie Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Flamin_Squirrel's mission planner program is very useful. Sadly he never really finished it, and lost the source code so how it is now is it. But it is very useful for working out climb/cruise and fuel usage. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60438&highlight=mission+planner Spoiler Intel 13900K (5Ghz), 64Gb 6400Mhz, MSi RTX 3090, Schiit Modi/Magi DAC/AMP, ASUS PG43UQ, Hotas Warthog, RealSimulator FSSB3, 2x TM MFDs + DCS MFDs, MFG Crosswinds, Elgato Steamdeck XL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenra Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Can you give an example with numbers please? let's say the TOT is 30 Minutes... Sure: say you are burning 2000 PPH (pounds per hour). If it is 30 minutes to base your BINGO fuel level is 2000 * 30/60 + (reserve) = 1000 lb + 2000 lb = 3000 lb. @Eddie: thanks for the pointer to the fuel planner - I had forgotten about that project. Will check it out again.
