  • Publication number: 20210047054
    Abstract: A method of fuelling an aircraft for a flight to a predetermined destination in which the aircraft is loaded, the actual zero fuel weight of the loaded aircraft is determined, the fuel requirement of the loaded aircraft for that destination is calculated by fuel calculation software on the basis of operational flight plan data, said actual zero fuel weight, and further data relevant to fuel consumption for that instance of the flight to the predetermined destination, said further data being processed interactively by the user by means of a user interface to said fuel calculation software, and subsequently fuel to meet said fuel requirement is uplifted to the aircraft under the control of said user.

  • Publication number: 20200370986
    Abstract: A method and system for determining and implementing weight distribution of payload on an aircraft for optimizing centre of gravity of the aircraft by providing an individual weight factor for each passenger and/or crew member and their respective hand luggage and allocating at least a portion of the passengers and/or crew members seats according to the effect of passenger and/or crew member's positions on the aircraft on centre of gravity position provides advantages in determining accurately cabin payload data and cabin payload distribution for optimum fuel efficiency of an aircraft on a flight. Thus, fuel may be saved and carbon dioxide emissions may be reduced.
