Fuel Calc
Hi All,
I am Berne just in, a newbie student, I am also with a VA and we have a query.
Does anyone have a chart or calculator URL for fuel, both US and UK conversion with fuel weights and density values at various altitudes.
The lads at my VA have been looking around but no one can find such a conversion utility, I thought here in the realworld might yield a result.
Regards,
Berne...

If you can make a rough Excel spread sheet of what you want to do I can make it into a calculator. I follow you with all the conversions, but I'm stumped with the "density values at various altitudes" request....why?
The fueling of the aircraft is based on density from the truck or fuel farm. Once you have the required dispatch fuel load density isn't a factor (in the real world).

I new to computers, I could make up a doc of what I need in MWorks, but it would take to long to convert to Excel, if indeed that can be done, anyhow you have enlightened me re the density issue so its now only a matter of using the most common conversion stats in use around the industry, I have now got a fair idea, the lads at the forum thank you, and I thank you.
A privalage to comm with 777 pilot! Good luck in the future.

If you can post the conversions you wish to make along with the conversion factor it would really speed things up.

US System
TYPE-100LL-AMOUNT1USG-WEIGHT...?
" -Avgas-AMOUNT1USG-WEIGHT...?
" -Jetfuel-AMOUNT-1USG-WEIGHT...?
UK values with same information
if possible and indicate if metric or imperial measurments are being used ie if US figures are given I will understand that you are using US system of measurement and with UK stats use the UK metric system of measurement.
P.S. Feel free to include the most common conversion stats used when flying an airliner from A-B in the US. Just the basics if you will.
Bye for now,
Berne...

One to the pilots in our London hub referenced this: New Zealand CAA, GAP/WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, easy on the Google.
I think you might be able to create something from this if not its a wonderful resource, a rare find I think...?
I do not have privilages to email you, but you can check AFA/Dallas for 3564 thats me.
BETTER STILL...!
Hope this is useful to you.
