Refer to figure.
If the fuel flow in the cruise was exactly as the crew expected when planning the flight, what is the expected fuel remaining for the fuel check overhead TORDU at 19:42? All Flight Log fuels are in kg.
  • A
    248 kg
  • B
    277 kg
  • C
    256 kg
  • D
    263 kg

Although the fuel flow has remained the same according to the question, the aircraft has a higher groundspeed:

  • Fuel flow = (Planned fuel remaining at ToC - Planned fuel remaining at TORDU) / Planned flight time from ToC to TORDU = [(360 kg - 241 kg) / 53] x 60 = 135 kg/hr.

The question asks the expected fuel remaining for the fuel check overhead TORDU at 19:42 (50 minutes after the TOC).

  • In 50 minutes to TORDU, with a fuel flow of 135 kg/h, the aircraft would have burnt 112.5 kg of fuel.

Looking at the Top-Of-Climb Planned Fuel Remaining column, the pilot initially planned to have 360 kg, but he/she actually had 375 kg, as it is recorded in the ToC Fuel Check column.

  • TORDU = 375 kg - 112.5 kg = 262.5 kg (263 kg)
