The Flight Planning and Fuel Calculation course is a professionally designed aviation training program that provides a clear and practical understanding of how flights are planned and how fuel requirements are accurately calculated in real airline operations. This course focuses on the principles, procedures, and regulatory standards followed in commercial aviation to ensure safe, efficient, and economical flight operations. Participants will learn how to prepare an Operational Flight Plan (OFP), select appropriate routes, plan alternates, and calculate fuel by considering factors such as aircraft performance, weather conditions, winds, airspace restrictions, and regulatory fuel reserves. The training also explains different types of fuel requirements, including taxi fuel, trip fuel, contingency fuel, alternate fuel, and final reserve fuel.
Course Overview
The Flight Planning and Fuel Calculation training provides practical and industry-oriented knowledge of how commercial flights are planned and how fuel is calculated accurately and safely.
The program focuses on real airline operational practices, covering route planning, fuel policies, weather and wind analysis, and regulatory requirements.
This training is designed to help participants develop a clear understanding of operational flight planning and build essential skills required for careers in aviation operations, pilot training, and flight dispatch.
