Many students are aware that the standard 727  performance manual used in Flight Planning Exams contains integrated fuel burn tables. Most students never use them. The tables allow you to directly convert Air Distance into Fuel Burn or Fuel burn to Air Distance. They also work equally as well for the reverse flight plan. The answers are exact, no mid-zone weight guessing required.  Also error checking is important. You will be able to double check your answers as you work through the questions.

After course assistance is available free of charge.

Below is a brief summary of the course content.

Lectures are completed over 5 days and repeat classes are free.

Individual tutorials are available to all currently enrolled students.
