... charts, fuel burn for each phase of the flight was calculated. The fuel, time and distance required for each stage are calculated as described above and entered into the table in a systematic manner - starting with the ramp weight of the aircraft and proceeding through the mission profile. A column is dedicated to monitoring the decrease in aircraft weight. This is balanced by the increase in fuel consumed. The analysis was performed at the following combination of payload and fuel on board to define the range payload diagram: Point 2: Take-off at MTOW, comprising maximum payload and remaining fuel allowable Point 3: Take-off at MTOW, comprising maximum fuel and remaining payload allowable Point 4: Take-off weight the sum of OEW and MFW When all flight phases are calculated, the sum of the fuel burn, time taken and distance covered is calculated. The distance and time contributions are taken only for those phases that fall ...
