Dear friends and followers! Today I´ll be answering a question on "How much fuel does a jet airplane need?". But more regarding trip fuel, contingency fuel, alternate fuel, extra fuel, final reserve and taxi fuel. This is a basic guideline on fuel figures and fuel planning of any commercial jet airplane. How much fuel jet airplanes eventually use, will be discussed in a upcoming video.
Thank you very much for watching. The next video will be online next saturday!

fuel calculations are affected by weight and load, its true takeoffs from US airports need more fuel because of the higher average weight of Americans.
lol
or.. something!!
XD
You're a fucking idiot!
Lol
This is actually something I wanted to know.
Fruit Loops Why would you click the video otherwise? Pointless comment.
Richard van Pukkem you replying to a dead comment is pointless.
its funny how you assumed he was sacarstic

Wow!, hat off to you man. As a pilot myself, I have to admit that I opened your video for the fun to see a "pilot wanna be" trying to impress friends with his little knowledge.
Actually, it's completely the opposite. You sound extremely professional and I will recommend your channel to the eventual newbie that always approach to us for advises.
Well done!
I don't think he's a wanna be pilot.
He is a pilot too ....
Goat pilots would have 4 stripes on the uniform. That he has 3 means he is a first officer
I dont know shit of the stripes thanks
He is a pilot and a First Officer.
Captain Joe....Your Explanation are so clear. Congratulation!
Capt Joe great to see you back on RUclips.
welcome back. been missing your videos
I am in aviation and aircraft production since more than 20 years. These channel is the ultimate source for people looking for means of "solving the fear of flying desease". The descriptions are profound and easily understandable. The combination of technical environment, necessities (which many people are not aware of) about aircraft technology and flying are explained as well as the refined interaction of professionals and technology which leads to an inherently safe way of getting from point A to point B.
@Captain Joe, I'm in the process of getting my PPL's and I must admit, your videos have been very educational. Keep them coming, and thanks for taking your time for making them.
Good to see you back,
nice explanation, tnx for share New videos.
greetings from Brazil.
Thank you for the video :)
I'm happy you are alive :D
Me 2 :D
Me too

Glad I found this channel...subscribed. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Thank you Captain Joe for your professional explanation about the basic fuel load of a jetliner. Well done.
nice video. The bit at the end about lbs and lg reminded me of the Gimli Glider.
Haha nice :)
On an airbus the GImli Glider thingy would be a bit easier I guess, because you have fly by wire and a computer which calculates the maximum angle of attack. :)
Did you ever tried it Joe?
Awesome series! Thanks for doing this! When an aircraft manufacturer indicates their planes have a range of x km, does it take into amount all the extra fuel that a plane is regulated to carry? And what percentage are all the regulated/back up fuel amount relative to the trip amount?
I’m now preparing flight planning for my ATPL. Your explanations are amazing. THANK YOU SO MUCH❤️❤️
Great video, well presented and informative. Keep em coming. Thanks Capt Joe.
joe is back!
Frank Lampard lookalike!
I am glad you are back, we missed you! I cannot wait to see more of your videos! :D
Thank you for teaching me the difference of all sorts of airplanes. I have been working at the airport in Salt Lake. Between the on the job training and what you have done in your videos. It's been a very easy and exciting experience. Thank you for everything.
Verry Informative video
We missed you captain!
Thank you very much for your kind words, appreciate it :) Greetings Joe
Don't forget to subscribe
Thanks for your explanation capt !
thanks Joe for sharing the information very nicely brief and i love the way you share your knowledge thanks again.
Das ist das erste video was ich von dir gucke und ich hatte von anfang an das gefühl das du ein deutscher bist :) und es hat sich als wahr herausgestellt :D
Really interesting! I like your videos.
Thank you very much for your kind words, appreciate it :) Greetings Joe
Captain Joe Look
This is great information. Keep up the great work; I'm looking forward to more videos in future!
I have watched...dozens I think, of your videos. I must say, I have enjoyed each and every one. Thank-you for doing them. Enjoyable to watch, listen too, and educational. I don't think it gets any better than that. :)
For those who want numbers. I work at KMSP and a 777 from Minneapolis to Tokyo uses ~24,000 gallons and an a330 to Amstradam uses ~15000 gallons whereas a 757 to lax uses 5000 gallons and and an a320 to lax uses 3200. It varies and depends on the plane and the destination
A 747 from PHX to London takes 32,000 gallons.
So how many fuel trucks did you use for 24000 gallons. How long did it take to fuel?
@@christianjungerberg5254 it really depends on the airport. At PHX we use a hydrant system for fueling. At most gates we don't even use a truck. Just a pump cart that's parked at the gate. For the big planes, we use a hydrant truck, which is just a big pump on wheels. Plug one hose into the ground nozzle, and another hose into the plane, and 90 minutes later, you've pumped 25,000 gallons.
@@murphsmodels8853 please don't bullshit me. A major airport would need millions of gallons a day delivered to them. And since a tanker holds only 5000 gallons a major airport would need a dam pipe line to keep up.
@@christianjungerberg5254 we have an underground pipeline that connects to five 1 million gallon tanks, and has nozzle connections at every gate.
thanks for explaining. can you please make a video explaining flaps, when to extend them, and how they work? thx
Yes, I should, getting this question a lot! :) I´ll work on it!
😁 thanks
bloodshaker12 r u not familiar with your wife's flaps or do u want a video on them too??
Tom Hunter 😂😂😂 im only 15
bloodshaker12 😱😱😱😱 oops!!
I love these videos so informative and really shows what it takes to fly. Amazing ! keep up the awesomeness!!!!!
What a wonderful INTRO !! for the large ATPL chapter - FUEL PLANNING CAT.O.PM - Thank you so much Captain !
you just go your self a new subscriber
Ksp :)
Hey Micky I'm sorry but you're not that smart right now
Hey Micky eepus profile is from The game kerbal space program, or ksp. And that's why he said ksp! Just a tip for The next time you're trying to be an as#@ole, do your research before trying to insult somone, or you're going to end up like this, being wreckt and looking as a fool
David Gustafsson looks like he deleted his comment because I don't see it
I don't know, I can still see it, but if you didn't read it he insulted Miguel for writing ksp, and not in a very nice way either
Super erklärt! 😄
ER LEBT :D
Ja ich lebe 😂😄
neee ER lebt xD Cpt Joe
Danke Moritz :) Immer noch coole Cap ;)
Danke und stimmt 😊😏
I go on probably 8 flights every summer and you have answered so many of my questions so far!!!
thank you for explaining all this so clearly !
still wondering how many gallons per mile bro?
That´s worth a video in comparison to a car, I´ll think about it :) Greetings Joe
You say 30 minutes at least of final reserve fuel... Does that apply for medium aircrafts? Is it different for heavies?
According to Boeing's Web site, the 747 burns approximately 5 gallons of fuel per mile (12 liters per kilometer).
wow
I've heard a few times before that optimally loaded airliners have a fuel consumption per person not much different than a car.
The 747 does burn about 5 gallons of fuel per mile give or take. This is equivalent to 1/5 of a MPG. This is quite low but then the 747 in a reasonable configuration can hold 500 passengers. 500 * 1/5 = 100 MPG per person.
Take a car that has 25 MPG when it's loaded with four people the car has 100 MPG per person. This calculation is just a rough estimate and probably a little ideal but then newer airliners like the 777 and newer Airbuses are much more fuel efficient than the relatively old 747s so I think it's probably quite reasonable. I've heard pilots say per person a jet liner burns about as much as a car. This is amazing considering airliners go about 500 to 550 MPH and cars probably average only 60 to 70 MPH.
A lot of this efficiency comes from advanced aerodynamics offering low drag, very efficient (and large) turbofan engines, and airliners flying high where the air is thinner. The thin air of cruising altitude (but not too thin as the engines need to take in enough) offers much lower drag than denser air close to the surface. Practically all the fuel of an airplane is spent on resisting wind so being aerodynamic and flying high is very important.
captain joe i like ur videos a lot i am a pilot of emirates a380 this helped me a lot danke joe
Abian Arshil Azad A380 pilots don't watch RUclips videos about things they already know. I know you're 8 years old kid.
Abian Arshil Azad really ? Give a break dude , ur a pilot in Emirates airbus but u didn't know this childish thing, wow Emirates is fucked up
talk about grammar lmao
faarhaann khan .. I wasn't talking to you I was talking to the kid who thinks he is a pilot of a jumbo jet. Did i tag you? No
I wonder that you're a pilot and they didn't tell you about fuel !! weird
Watchin these things that I am already very familiar with is very nice. I'm enjoying every second of it, in every single video! thanks!
Very interesting. I am personally grateful for these enlightening clips, for the passion, dedication and enthusiasm behind it.
Thank you Captain Joe.
On top of all of that, you have to make sure you touchdown under your maximum landing weight!
You should have mentioned tanker fuel..
This video is awesome ! good continuation 😉
captain Joe you are amazing.
outstanding explanation of every aviation question we ask you .
He didn't mention how much amount of fuel it required for a particular Aircraft to fly between those cities.
Because it's variable, depending on type of aircraft, the load it's carrying, the weather conditions etc.
can you make a video about fuel dumping ? Also a question, rather than taking the risk of many things going wrong and you being forced to fly for an extra hr or two , why not just fill the plane up to be "safe"?
more weight = more fuel burn = wasted money for the company
Most small/medium commercial jets can't and don't need to dump fuel (due to them carrying less fuel and relatively less maximum landing weight). In an emergency either fuel is burnt in a hold or the plane performs an overweight landing. Aircraft have an allowed maximum landing and take off weight, (the take off weight being generally higher than the maximum allowed landing weight). For larger, long haul aircraft perfoming a longhaul flight, most aircraft takeoff beyond their maximum landing weight. Therefore in an emergency when an immediate landing is required, fuel is vented or jettisoned from the wing tips to lose weight (fuel) and to reduce the maximum landing weight to a weight allowed for landing. If an overweight landing occured on a heavy large jet, it would require a higher than normal landing speed and could be extremely difficult to control when in full landing configuration, the landing gear could sustain damage, the aircraft may not stop within the available runway length. And the added fuel would pose a massive fire risk, basically every pilots worse nightmare.
Also, the weight of the extra fuel itself may be unsafe. The aircraft may struggle a bit.
That would pollute more to the environment and your tickets would cost more. It's like adding a trailer with 2000 liters of fuel instead of driving to the next gas station.
Fuel dumping on smaller planes is not a thing, the system for dumping is somewhat heavy and the planes are simply able to do an slightly overweight landing anyway. The main issue which is addressed with fuel dumping, if you fly long hauls your plane is that much too heavy that your simply unable to land.
After a heavy landing the plane needs to be inspected, so this isn't an easy decision to make for the pilot. On PAN-situations the pilot might take the risk and fly for another half hour in circles to burn a bit fuel, on emergency situations this isn't a big deal.
Ruben Kelevra It's based on the aircraft manufacturers certified maximum allowed landing weight. If the aircraft is too heavy to land in an emergency then a fuel jettison system is required.
Best channel for learning about planes.
very well explained with the animations!
My take on this? Fill the bugger up - sod the 'Bean Counters!' LOL
Weight can also be a concern, another reason to not fill the tank.
Not to mention it's uneconomical
yeah, but kind of embarrassing to run out of fuel in flight, as well as expensive and painful.
Fuel equals dangerous overweight.
the landing gear of a plane is never designed to land the plane fully loaded.
because they lie about how much fuel it carries.
As Captain Joe already explained in another video. The one where he explains where aircrafts dump their fuel if necessary.
Really enjoyed you video joe! Cant wait to see more of your great video :D
Thank you for the awesome video Captain Joe! This video really helped me to understand better about the fuel on board. I wish this video was available earlier when I took flight dispatcher exam. I would definitely recommend this video to my friends who are willing to take flight dispatcher exam.
By the way, when you mentioned de-icing during taxi fuel, I read a memoire written by a pilot and he mentioned something called 'Hold Over time' on his memoire. What is exactly hold over time and how do they determine that time?
Again thanks for the great video! Happy flyings!
What's with the claim of some channels that planes fly with compressed air instead of liquid fluel?
They were jealous of the attention flat earthers were getting, so they decided to double down on the stupidity.
And they don't realize that the wings on aircraft can actually be a few feet thick at a closer glance.
But can it melt steel beams
lol :) NO
Kiwlo steel doesn't need to melt in order to be structurally unstable.
If you are referring to 9-11 heat makes metal expand. The metal steel beams expanded thus compromising the integrity of the building and that is why they collapsed. Perhaps you should study and talk to a structural engineer. Firefighters should have tried to battle the flames.
molten steel is clearly seen streaming from the building in the news footage ... so I guess it must be able to melt steel beams ;-)
jimmyfly huh!?? Burning debries? Melting paper or concrete ya cause that melts. Fyi the building were engineered to with stand a plane crashing into them by code
Look it up. Look at the replay those building were smoking witch means starved for air. This is boy scouts 101 starved for air means low burning temps
Hi captain joe I really enjoy these info briefings you do and find these interesting too ! Since I love flying tooi,m looking forward to your briefings so keep them COMING JOE !
Love your videos keep them coming
1 dislike is a tree hugger
How did you know? I love trees otherwise we would be having trouble breathing :)
Compressed air ? No wings can hold fuel..any plane crash the wing almost always intact
Its true..amazing...but just figured that out...what bs about trilion liters of fuel...even before i heard that explanation about the air i was thinking : Jesus this is such bs....and than i heard that about compressed air..... Normal average IQ doesnt allow us to be so blind. Fuel bs..there is no way in hell its fuel..
@@PenzancePete normal average IQ makes you make logical conclusions...no fuel
@@PenzancePete 74 Gear channel...check that out...he is qualified pilot... No pilot ever saw large enough fuel trucks pumping large enough quantity of fuel into airplane, there is no room for that ammount fuel in the airplane, there is room for luggage, passangers, crew, in the tin wings there are room for flaps ...there is no way you can physically put that ammount of fuel in the aircraft ...unless you are magician.... its just common sense which tells you that...i tought of that years before anyone came up with compressed engines theory.... It also explains insanly cheap prices for air travel, you can fly all over europe for the price of pack of cigarettes ...its how much i payed my ticket for 1000 km flight, 15 euros...none of that make apsolute sense, there is no car or bus or train which can drive you for that cheap price, and ammount of jet fuel they use should be large , not only that, airport fees, wages for pilots,crew, maintance, they would not be able to sell tickets for 15 euros =1000 km... All "budget airline" is a scam, you need to have airline which can operate normally, and for normal operation you need sufficiant funds, it means you cant lower the price of ticket that low ...its all a scam...
thanks for the explanation Captain Joe
Thank you Joe! I have watched some of ur videos in respect of airplane operation. They are very nice and realistic.
I love planes and like them all. Please post more of yours soon.
Thank you!!!
Answer: However Much It Needs To Get To The Other Airport
Admiral of the seas Gaming wrong
Just heard from the flat earth comunity planes don’t use fuel... 😂
Dzaster..
SMDH. Yep. The "Fuel Hoax". Are you surprised?
Most of them are also now becoming proponents of Munching on their own fecal matter and drinking down their own pee pee juice.. i.e "The Food Hoax"..
Just hope they don't learn about the "Oxygen hoax" and find out we can breath under water too !! ;)
The HardTruth that would be fun...😜
Just show them pictures like this when they claim the wings couldn't possibly hold as much fuel as they claim:

Alex Siemers have you seen other pics besides this one?? They dont carry all that fuel bud!
Truth Warrior I have seen other photos, that one is just a good sample image.
Missed your videos very informative Tks
Excellently explained.
Why don't put solar panels on airplane top
Genius Idea!! Please email Boeing & Airbus Immediately!! :p
There's already an electric plane running purely on solar. it's still in testing though.
+Seyha Plane called the Solar Impulse
+ Majid Even better: Why not putting a "perpetuum mobile" inside the plane ;-))
solar is not powerful enought to power big planes so only on lighter prototype planes
Pankaj Chauhan I am just working on how to make a coffee for now
How much fuel does a jet airplane need? You never said!
It depends on the plane and engine model, it's flight duration and weight. To give you an estimated, I found this on an Airliners.net forum, corresponding to a Boeing 737-300 with 130 passengers plus luggage onboard:
Climb - 2950lbs / 15mins
Cruise - 5500lbs/hr
Descent - 600lbs / 20mins
Hold - 2650 / 30mins
Alternate - 1950 / 20mins
Min arrival fuel - 6300lbs
Recomended arrival fuel - 8300lbs
It depends on the aircraft size and obviously the distance between cities. For example from Santiago de Chile (SCL) to Buenos Aires (EZE) the distance is a little less than 1150 km, so the aprox. total fuel measured in KG should be:
For an A320 7,500
For an A321 9,000
For a B787-9 15,000
I'm a Ground Operations Coordinator in SCL and one of my tasks is to comfirm the total fuel to be refueled into the plane with the captain, according to the weight onboard.
drrockmarcellus para qué empresa trabajas? LAN? No sabía que volaban Dreamliners para ir solo desde Chile hasta Argentina...
pancho prinz sí Pancho, todos los días el LAN 445 que sale en la tarde y hace la ruta SCL-EZE ocupa un B787-8 o B787-9. En Argentina el dreamliner de Latam sólo cubre EZE y en el resto de Sudamérica llega a GRU/LIM/BOG/MVD.
drrockmarcellus no estaba al tanto. Pero el 787 no es demasiado grande para volar la ruta SCL-EZE? Es un trayecto que se puede cubrir tranquilamente con la familia del A320.
This is good piece of information. As a aviation enthusiasts I keep looking for this. Subscribed.
Ein ganz großes Dankeschön für deine Arbeit Captain Joe!!! Das erste Video das ich von dir gesehen habe,wurde uns an der Groundschool vom POF instructor gezeigt👍 However, bin gerade mich beim AVEX mit fuel policies etwas am struggeln und dein Video hat mir gerade so einiges näher gebracht…Dann auch noch mit einem Beispiel wo es nach FAO zu meinem Heimatland geht,genial✌️
Mach weiter so ,du hilfst mir und viele angehende andere die trotz des COVID’s nightmares es nicht aufgegeben haben.
Nach v one (1) wird rotiert,no matter what🛫
Grüße,V-one
Amazing how you fit all that fuel in those skinny little wings. Can you smell the 🐎 shhhh it?
jack siscavage "skinny wings" - perhaps you should go and look at a plane close up before making a fool of yourself.
Keep them coming. You're an awesome teacher!
Captan joe thanks so much for your videos so awesome for people wonting to become a pilot like me
For a next upcoming video can you teach me about the check list before starting engines and leaving
Perfect 👌🏼 thank you Captain Joe
Thank you Cap learning something today
Thanks Captain Joe. Great topic.
I can't stop watching your videos ✈ keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for your kind words, appreciate it :) Greetings Joe
I was very curious. Many thanks for this.
Joe, as always...great video and detail! I feel somewhat safer flying now!
Great video joe!!
I really enjoyed it
Love your lessons.
Keep it flying! ;)
captain joe you are very kind pilot and like to explain the aircraft,thanks for that.when i grew up im gonna be like you :)
your videos are amazingly interesting and informative...I regret not having chosen to be a pilot - I had considered it when I was going into university but figured it would be too hard :) I love planes and although I've been flying for years, I still find planes fascinating.
Very informative and interesting. Thank you Captain Joe
Very good explanation CAPTAIN..
Captain have a happy and safe journey salute you😎
Well presented bud. Thanx
Thank yooouuu very much! Your videos is very inspiring to me and interesting! thaink you for your work! please keep continue!
Another excellent video, thank you Capt Joe!
Endlich wieder ein Video :), super erklärt, weiter so!
Danke Tobi!
Always interesting videos. Thank you much.
Quick question: when you are fueling the plane, do you take into account unburned fuel from previous flights. For example, if you had a very uneventful flight and still had your alternate and final reserve fuel stores. When fueling for the next flight (say it was a return flight with the same alternate and final reserve requirements), would you only add fuel for trip and taxi?
fabulous ...very clear explanation..
look captain joe ... your explanations are amazing .... thanks
I love it. Very informative.
Thanks a lot for all your interesting videos!!!!
I don't know how I found myself here, but I'm glad I did. Fascinating. New sub anyway!
best explanation Captain.
Clever logo! Well done videos!Thank you.
Would like to have seen percentages. What is the most fuel efficient velocity in air at various temperatures and altitudes?
Very informative and interesting video. Thanks !
great videos, thank you for creating them
Love Faro, and Captain Joe video's too .
Hi joe great videos, could you do something on intercepting the glide slope and also when you disconnect the auto pilote on approach
