Aircraft planned minimum fuel - explained

- What is minimum fuel? What does it contain and can pilots carry more? What do the airlines plan and why don't we always just fill the aircrafts up, like a car?
This is the topic of today's airline podcast. Make sure to watch it to the end and ask a lot of follow up questions!

your podcasts are so exciting, love it! 🖒
I just find that video week before Flight Planing and Monitoring ATPL exam 😂
Great video as always!
Interesting video, once again. Thank you!
Thanks for the videos! Cheers
As usual great stuff you just talked about.
"You don't just put a 'comfort ton' on...it's not professional"...I couldn't agree more! All it does, is waste fuel, make extra emissions and makes it look as though one doesn't really know what they should know. I can think of a few pilots in my time who should watch this video and take note!
Awesome channel and great video as always! Hope it becomes much more popular. Keep up the good work.
There have been several aviation accidents attributed to incorrect weight and balance. As I understand it, the pressure in a landing gear strut is proportional to the weight resting on that gear. It would seem that strut pressures could be monitored and converted to weight to assist in calculating weight and balance as a final pre-flight check before takeoff. In fact the pressure data could be processed by an onboard computer to inform the pilot of the CG and possibly create an alarm if the CG is outside or near the limit, or if it is projected to fall outside the limit in flight as fuel is burned.
I am just able to learn so much from these technical videos. I would request you to make a video on the different take off and landing weights of an aircraft and how to calculate and determine those weights of the aircraft for different flights. Thank you.
I would like to see a podcast from you on advices for economical flying, eg. saving fuel when flying - how to save fuel by descending slowly towards the destination and so on.
I've just subscribed! Fantastic channel for aviation enthusiasts like me :)
Hello, and thanks for making videos like this! I work in airline operations and often find it hard to explain what we do when I talk to people about my job (sometimes even in the airline! ;-) ). I've been looking for such videos to point people to.
Great informational video to even GA pilots like myself. Can you please speak about how the number of passengers, luggage and weight and balance affect the cruise fuel? And when do you do the fuel calculations? After the passengers are boarded when you have an accurate estimate of the weight? Thanks.
I have watched tons of your videos. You have a wealth of knowledge and I have learned lots, I have a question. hope you haven't already answered it. If you get delays and have to make up a lot of time to get passengers to connecting flights do you increase speed to get there on time? Is there a limit on how fast you can fly and what is the top speed of the aircraft (737) you fly. Again love your videos keep up the great work! Oh I went and watched the movie with Ernst Borgnine Flight 401, lol had to do after seeing your Halloween video and it reminded me of that flick. Stay safe and I'll keep watching!
How did I manage to get my algorithm to go back as far as videos from 8 years ago in my suggested next-
I would suppose that all this discounts the MTOW for whatever runway you're departing from and provisions for emergency landing, too, though I've heard some aircraft actually have a larger max landing weight than MTOW.
First, great video :). I have a question, whats your Base Airport? And whats your favorite route?
Whats the fligthdeck like in mid cruise? You guys talking? reading books? concentrating on ATC? etc
