Fuel Calculation
Hello,
Could someone direct me to an example of a fuel calculation, if unable to show determination on here:
This would be for a Cessna Super Cargomaster feeder for shorter haul- 90nm each way approx as well as 261 nm each way. One example would be great.
From what I've read, the payload is approximately 4000lbs. The max takeoff weight is approximately 42,000lbs. Fuel tank capacity is 335 gallons/economy is 2.57nm/gallon. I've seen different equations on the computer with winds etc., calculated. The weight of the Pilot(s) would be the standard 170pnds. I realize we also need some sort of fuel contingency.
Thank you.
