Use this calculator for flight-planning study or a first-pass cross-check when all inputs describe the same aircraft, atmospheric condition, and phase of flight.

Fuel flow (L/h)

Fuel consumption rate.

Ground speed (kt)

Ground speed over the route.

Compute the fuel burned per nautical mile from the hourly flow and ground speed. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Fuel per nm (L/nm)

Fuel burned per nautical mile.

• Do not use a generic calculator in place of the current aircraft flight manual, approved performance data, operating limitations, NOTAMs, weather, or regulations. Real performance changes with configuration, runway condition, altitude, temperature, wind, loading, and technique.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Cross-check the result against the aircraft flight manual or approved planning system, then apply the required safety margins. Keep signed wind, heading, altitude, speed, and fuel conventions explicit.

• Range Calculator

  Compute the still-air distance reachable from usable fuel, flow rate, and ground speed.

• Estimated Trip Fuel Calculator

  Estimate the fuel needed for a trip from distance, ground speed, and fuel burn rate.

• Fuel at Waypoint Calculator

  Compute the fuel remaining on arrival at a waypoint from the starting fuel and per-mile burn.
