Fuel Uplift Calculator









Formula

To calculate the maximum fuel uplift:

\[ MFUL = (FPFB + MALW) - ZFW - FAOB \]

What is Fuel Uplift?

A fuel uplift, or maximum fuel uplift, is a measure of the total weight of fuel provided by a fuel supplier to an aircraft. It ensures that the aircraft has enough fuel for the planned flight, considering the fuel already on board and other weight constraints.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Add the flight planned fuel burn and maximum allowable landing weight:

\[ FPFB + MALW = 5000 + 70000 = 75000 \]

Step 2: Subtract the zero fuel weight and fuel already on board:

\[ MFUL = 75000 - 60000 - 2000 = 13000 \text{ kg} \]

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Add the flight planned fuel burn and maximum allowable landing weight:

\[ FPFB + MALW = 8000 + 75000 = 83000 \]

Step 2: Subtract the zero fuel weight and fuel already on board:

\[ MFUL = 83000 - 65000 - 3000 = 15000 \text{ kg} \]
