How much fuel does a jet airplane need? Explained by Captain Joe

Dear friends and followers! Today I´ll be answering a question on "How much fuel does a jet airplane need?". But more regarding trip fuel, contingency fuel, alternate fuel, extra fuel, final reserve and taxi fuel. This is a basic guideline on fuel figures and fuel planning of any commercial jet airplane. How much fuel jet airplanes eventually use, will be discussed in a upcoming video.

Thank you very much for watching. The next video will be online next saturday!

Wish you all the best Joe

fuel calculations are affected by weight and load, its true takeoffs from US airports need more fuel because of the higher average weight of Americans.

This is actually something I wanted to know.

Captain Joe....Your Explanation are so clear. Congratulation!

Wow!, hat off to you man. As a pilot myself, I have to admit that I opened your video for the fun to see a "pilot wanna be" trying to impress friends with his little knowledge.
Actually, it's completely the opposite. You sound extremely professional and I will recommend your channel to the eventual newbie that always approach to us for advises.
Well done!

I am in aviation and aircraft production since more than 20 years. These channel is the ultimate source for people looking for means of "solving the fear of flying desease". The descriptions are profound and easily understandable. The combination of technical environment, necessities (which many people are not aware of) about aircraft technology and flying are explained as well as the refined interaction of professionals and technology which leads to an inherently safe way of getting from point A to point B.

still wondering how many gallons per mile bro?

Whatching you as a student (grade 12), gives me more passion for my dream career, aerospace engineering. I enjoy your impacts Sir, Thank you so much.

For those who want numbers. I work at KMSP and a 777 from Minneapolis to Tokyo uses ~24, 000 gallons and an a330 to Amstradam uses ~15000 gallons whereas a 757 to lax uses 5000 gallons and and an a320 to lax uses 3200. It varies and depends on the plane and the destination

@Captain Joe, I'm in the process of getting my PPL's and I must admit, your videos have been very educational. Keep them coming, and thanks for taking your time for making them.

Das ist das erste video was ich von dir gucke und ich hatte von anfang an das gefühl das du ein deutscher bist :) und es hat sich als wahr herausgestellt :D

[louiesami]

Very interesting. I am personally grateful for these enlightening clips, for the passion, dedication and enthusiasm behind it.
Thank you Captain Joe.

What a wonderful INTRO !! for the large ATPL chapter - FUEL PLANNING CAT.O.PM - Thank you so much Captain !

[smallmj]

nice video. The bit at the end about lbs and lg reminded me of the Gimli Glider.

[Henryk]

Thank you Captain Joe for your professional explanation about the basic fuel load of a jetliner. Well done.

[silveryanzi]

Awesome series! Thanks for doing this! When an aircraft manufacturer indicates their planes have a range of x km, does it take into amount all the extra fuel that a plane is regulated to carry? And what percentage are all the regulated/back up fuel amount relative to the trip amount?

[bigbtripathi]

Best channel for learning about planes.
