Provisional Flight PlanMax Leg Distance
by: Mark Phillips, ATP CFII MEI
Wt and BalMax fuel (gals) for the planned load
Endurance (hours)Max Endur = Max fuel (gals)/ gphSafe Endur = Max Endur - 1 hour (for reserve)Plan Endur = Safe Endur (or less for people
endur)Ground Speed = cruise TAS
20kts less if westboundMax Leg Distance (Nm) = Plan Endur * Gnd
Spd
Max Leg Distanceexample
by: Mark Phillips, ATP CFII MEI
Max fuel for the load = 38 gal (depends on W &B)
10 gph fuel burn rate, 110 kt TAS cruiseMax Endur = 38 gal / 10 gph
Max Endur = 3.8 hrsSafe Endur is 1 hour less for reserve
Safe Endur = 2.8 hrsPlan Endur = 2.8 hrs (assume passengers OK)
Ground Speed = TAS (assume not westbound)Max Leg Dist = Plan Endur * GS
2.8 hrs * 110 kts = 308 Nm
Provisional Flight PlanCreate Route
Chart program (WingX7Pro)Start to finish, straight lineRoute around obstacles, airspace
Total distanceNumber of legs
legs = total distance / max leg distanceIdentify and insert fuel stop airports
at no greater than max leg distancesReview entire route, adjust as neededIdentify alternates
