Gallons Per Hour Consumption Calculation
This calculator is used to calculate the Gallons Per Hour (GPH) Consumption Rate for AvGas and Jet A.All entries should be numeric and may be decimal if needed. Enter time values as hours; 6 minutes is 1/10 hour. Enter fuel values in gallons. The answers are returned as calculated values, based on your entries.

Formula:
Aviation Gasoline weight per gallon(gw)=6.00
Jet A weight per gallon(dw)=6.84
Total Capacity (AvGas) Fuel Load Weight=(Fuel weight)* (gw)
GPH=start fuel-end fuel
NOTE:
Be sure to take into consideration winds aloft, restricted zones, climb time and fuel for a margin of safety when calculating requirements. Be sure to check the current NOAA aviation weather for departure, along the flight plan and at the destination airport before departure. Free online Mechanical engineering Calculators.
