Flight Fuel Planning Calculator
Estimate block fuel from distance, ground speed and fuel burn. Use the same fuel unit (kg, lb or litres) for burn rate, alternate and taxi fuel.
Formula
Block fuel = taxi + trip + contingency + alternate + final reserve (+ any extra). Trip fuel = (distance ÷ ground speed) × burn rate. Contingency and reserve minima depend on your regulator and operation.
