Determine estimated fuel for entire flight route.
Add Reserve: 19500 lbs.
Add Origin and Destination Taxi fuel: 3500 lbs.
Flight to East: Subtract 1000 lbs.
Flight to West: Add 1000 lbs.
Set Three Center tanks as below and subtract fuel loaded
result (appr 74,415 lbs) from total required.
Add remaining required to L and R Main.
TYPICAL FUEL LOAD EGLL to KJFK:
Estimated 160736 lbs + 19500 = 180236 + 3500 = 183736 + 1000 = 184,736 lbs
Fill Center tanks with LR Empty.
Remaining needed (FS Fuel DIALOG) = 109321 / 2 = 54,661 in each LR Main
