Turbine Duke fuel planning : landing at 3800 ft

Hello all fellow simmers

While testing the precision of my Turbine Duke flightplan spreadsheet, I decided to land on a quite high airport.

I chose KHSP for its scenic approach above the Appalachian Moutains.

Departing from KAVL, this is your typical 1hour trip.

After entering my FP and wind information (from ASN) I get the following navigation log. I'll carry 41,5 Gallons of fuel in each tank. Real perf vs planned perf at the end.

In terms of altitude predictions, the spreadsheet did quite well. I encountered stronger than planned front wind during climb, but the overall profile is decent. TOD calculation is off, because it assumes you want to be from CRZ down to arrival at constant descent rate. Unfortunately, when you have an IAF with fixed altitude, the planned altitude is wrong.

For the fuel, the very first part of the flight was very close to the estimated FOB. Unfortunately, very strong and unexpected front winds about 50 nm from departure, kind of broke my estimations. But I guess that's the game.

Overall I am quite proud of my spreadsheet which is a convenient way to plan your fuel. I still have things to add / improve, but it works.

Thanks for viewing
