À propos de ce contenu audio
How much fuel should you really be loading in the sim?
This week we’re talking about fuel planning -- not just the numbers, but the judgement behind them. Why do airlines carry extra fuel? What does “statistical contingency" actually mean? And why doesn’t adding extra automatically make a flight safer?
We’ll look at how fuel buys you time, how weight affects performance, and why the real skill isn’t memorising the rules -- it’s making conscious, defensible decisions.
There’s also a quick reflection on a recent runway/taxiway incident and what it reminds us about how confident, experienced pilots can still find themselves in the wrong place.
If you’ve ever ticked “unlimited fuel,” added five tonnes “just in case,” or wondered whether SimBrief’s number is enough -- this episode’s for you.
