Pounds for the fuel quantity on the aircraft (read by the fuel gauges) Pounds/hour for fuel flow; Gallons to order/purchase fuel; These are pretty standard in most of the Americas (North/Central/South), but in certain parts of the world some of the units are different: Meters for height; Kilometers or meters for distance and weather

2018年2月20日 · The maximum fuel weight is the difference between maximum ramp weight and zero fuel weight (which is 562,000−361,000=201,000kg) Max take-off weight is a bit less than maximum ramp weight, but we'll handwave over taxi fuel for simplicity. The point here is that if you can fill the aircraft with cargo, it would be too heavy if you also filled ...

2019年11月6日 · Another minor issue is leaded aviation fuel doesn't like synthetic oil. Synthetic oil's chemistry can't keep the lead is suspension so it forms "lead paint" inside the engine. This was a problem when Mobil AV1 aviation oil was introduced (there was a big class action lawsuit).

2015年1月30日 · 87UL/E0 (similar fuels are called 82UL or 85UL) -- This is a tightly specified form of motor gasoline (mogas) -- without any ethanol or oxygenates in it, as many aircraft fuel systems aren't compatible with ethanol -- that is used in low-compression aviation piston engines mounted in airframes certified or STCed for operation on motor gasoline ...

2024年11月13日 · The Current Regulatory Provisions on Aviation Fuel Safety: There are no SARPs yet on the aviation fuel. Following an accident met by A330 aircraft of Cathay Pacific Airlines in Hong Kong in 2010, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) had developed a manual on Civil Aviation Jet Fuel Supply which was later on circulated by ICAO as ...

2015年3月5日 · natural gas is commonly used as a turbine fuel in pumping stations: it's already there and thus is "free". The required pressure vessels make it impractical to use as an aircraft fuel. So kerosene basically became the standard turbine fuel because it's: cheap: kerosene makes up a rather large fraction of crude oil.

2018年2月14日 · Aircraft is considered to be in an emergency/fuel critical situation. Bearing, distance, and destination shall be provided." CV NATOPS MANUAL. If the aircraft carrier was operating in an area that had a land based alternate airport, it would be called "Bingo Ops". "Bingo Fuel" was the amount of fuel remaining to safely reach the "Bingo Field".

Initial fuel temperature. If you fuel in the middle east during the middle of summer, the fuel will be a lot warmer than when you fuel in Siberia in the middle of winter. Warmer fuel will take longer to freeze. Outside air temperature. Much like trying to freeze water to form an ice cube, the colder the air around it, the faster that it will ...

2017年7月11日 · For spark-ignition reciprocating-engine aircraft, 100LL aviation gasoline is the primary certificate fuel, and that's what the factory placards will likely say. Some aircraft may have AFM or STC provisions for the use of other types of gasoline (such as other grades of avgas, or oxygenate-free mogas), but this will likely not be included on the ...

2018年10月15日 · (1) Fuel filler openings must be marked at or near the filler cover with- (i) For reciprocating engine-powered airplanes - (A) The word “Avgas”; and (B) The minimum fuel grade. These are fairly simple regulations to comply with so there is a wide variety of markings available, but the end results tends to be a decal looking something like this:
