05 - TRAINEES’ ACTIONS
One of the most important aspects of flight planning is the calculation of fuel requirements. If no computer produced fuel plan is available, calculations can be made using the information contained in FCOM 2.05.10 to 60 (Flight planning).
Other factors to be taken into consideration are :
.  
Weather conditions at destination and alternate (more fuel required due to
holding / delays ?), and en-route requiring weather avoidance and anti-ice

.  
Notams affecting navigation equipment for the flight

.  
Aircraft status and if the MEL indicates increased fuel consumption in particular cases

.  
Expected passenger/cargo load and distribution

.  
Whether the optimum flight level will be available (a level 4000 ft below optimum will increase fuel burn by 5%, and a level 8000 ft below optimum increases fuel burn by more than 10%)

.  
Fuel tanking requirements and its effect on fuel burn and optimum flight levels

During preflight preparation a comparison should be made between the paper flight plan and the FMGS calculated burn off. In order that the predictions are valid, the following items must be inserted :

.  
Initial cruise altitude in the INIT A page

.  
Forecast winds and temperatures along the route in F-PLN B page

.  
Expected steps in F-PLN A page

.  
Block fuel in INIT B page

If the predictions show that there will be insufficient fuel at destination, a modification to cruising flight levels may help, or more fuel may have to be loaded.
Some other items of note are national/airline minimum fuel policy and "island reserve " policy for remote destinations

06 - COMPLETION STANDARDS
.  Makes valid fuel requirements calculation and ensures correct quantity loaded before engine start.
07 - COMMON ERRORS
.  Weak knowledge of national and company regulations for fuel minima and alternate airports.
