Estimate trip fuel required using fuel flow and trip time. This free aviation calculator helps pilots plan the enroute fuel needed for a flight.
Enter fuel flow and trip time to calculate the estimated trip fuel required in gallons.
This calculator estimates the fuel required for the planned trip segment only.
Trip fuel is the fuel expected to be used during the planned enroute portion of a flight. It is one of the core fuel planning values used before adding alternate fuel, holding fuel, and reserve fuel.
Accurate trip fuel planning helps pilots estimate fuel required for the expected route and avoid underestimating total fuel needs.
No. Trip fuel is normally planned separately from reserve fuel.
No. Alternate fuel is usually planned separately from trip fuel.
Use a realistic expected fuel flow for the trip segment based on aircraft configuration, altitude, winds, mixture, and power setting.
Trip fuel is one of the core pieces of fuel planning and helps pilots estimate how much fuel the planned route itself will require.
