Congrats for the video Captain, thanks for the time you spend on the simulator to help all of us. A question pops up naturally in my mind now: If you know you're reaching the Emergency Fuel and do the mayday call to the ATC, can you lower your altitude, your speed and shut one engine? Using the APU (which can supply Bleed Air only up to 17k ft and both Electrical and Bleed at 10k ft) and the other remaining engine should save you extra fuel. These big planes should be able to handle long journeys with one engine operative (as for the fuel imbalance I guess you should open the X-Feed Valve and not go over the 453 kg of imbalance between main tanks) Doing all of the above could save extra fuel and time? Has this ever happened in real life? Do they train you to use just one engine for fuel saving purposes and not only for emergency? Thanks again captain, keep up the great work 💪 ☺
I hope you are doing great!! Well, you should never get to a point where you switch off an engine to save fuel, consider that when you declare a Mayday you have the priority. The ATC will make you number 1 for landing. As a pilot, you should make this call when you still have enough fuel that allows you to land with 2 engines. As always great comment!!
Hey, sorry for replying a bit late... I'm not an expert on keel effect, what I know is that this will help the Aircraft to be more stable and it stops the rolling moment when the Aircraft is disturbed from its straight and level flight.
Great video 👍 Could you please mention the conditions or situation when you are committed to land at your destination aerodrome instead of alternate Thank you
@@PILOTCLIMB I understand. But is not 5% of trip and not 3% of trip. Neither is not 5 min in hold. I'm just wondering it is on purpose made 15 min or it is just made randomly because is not the subject of video. I just watched you are great video about contingency fuel. That's why I asked.
Hey thanks for watching..Minimum block fuel is the minimum fuel you need to perform a flight, minimum diversion fuel is the minimum fuel you need to divert to your alternate..
👇Comment below with your questions and thoughts👇
Thanks for reply Capt Gabriele.... Have a nice weekend... 👍👍
You are welcome! Have a great weekend
As usually, awesome! Real life examples, not that boring stuff what I saw in ATPL...
Glad you enjoyed it! That's the target of my videos!! Great! Thanks for watching
@@PILOTCLIMB thank you too for making them. I know, it takes time.
Wish you to have courage to keep making them.
Waiting for more! :) Cheers!
Incredible !! I really enjoyed it !! Thanks to you Captain 🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks for watching!!

Good Day Capt Gabriele, what is a keel effect?Aircraft like B737 experienced this keel effect?

Great video 👍

Thank you
Hey, many thanks for watching and the comment!! I'll take your suggestion under consideration for a future video!!
Good q
hi....can you explain your method of determine RTOW please
Hey, thanks for watching! There is a video on the channel..called TAKEOFF CONSIDERATIONS check that out..
Why there is 15 min of contingency fuel, when we have 1:51H of trip?
There are many types of contingency fuel, it depends on the Operations

@@mateuszcedro8638It's probably min cont. Company policy if 3-5%below min cont.
What is the difference between minimum fuel and minimum diversion fuel?
Hey thanks for watching..Minimum block fuel is the minimum fuel you need to perform a flight, minimum diversion fuel is the minimum fuel you need to divert to your alternate..
Hi Capt. what about the holding time ?
You didn't mention it clearly. 😅
Hi, thanks for watching, holding time available changes with every flight, check the video I made about MINIMUM FUEL. I talk about that.
Reduce ZFW, carry extra, head to dest.edto applies to dispatch only

Many thanks for watching and the comment!!
But isn't this the fuel flow (2600 kg's/h) at 35 000 ft? Isn't it going to be way different FF holding at 1500 AGL?
It changes, but not much... Around 2.4t per hour is a good number
