SUMMARY Fuel Consumption is a major cost to any airline, and airlines need to focus their attention on this in order to maintain their profitability. This brochure looks at all the significant operating variables that affect fuel economy for the current Airbus range of aircraft. This brochure shows that there are many factors that affect fuel consumption and that the potential gains and losses are huge. Most of these factors are directly controlled by the airlines own employees (flight crew, operations/dispatch, maintenance, etc.). It can be also seen that what is good for one type of aircraft is not necessarily good for another, and that certain conceptions regarding best techniques for fuel economy are wrong. Finally for a fuel and cost economic airline, the following are the main features: • Good flight planning based on good data. • Correct aircraft loading (fuel weight and CG). • An aerodynamically clean aircraft. • Optimal use of systems (APU, Bleed, Flaps/Slats, Gear, etc). • Flight Procedures using speeds and altitudes appropriate to the companies economic priorities. • Use of the FMGS in the managed mode. • Use of performance factors in flight planning and in the FMGS derived from an ongoing aircraft performance monitoring program. Getting to grips with Fuel Economy 2 - Preamble - 5 - 2. PREAMBLE The very competitive and deregulated aviation market as well as the fear of a fuel price rise have made airlines understand how important it is to work on the fuel consumption of their fleet. Indeed airlines try to reduce their operational costs in every facet of their business, and fuel conservation has become one of the major preoccupations for all airlines, as well as aircraft manufacturers. That’s why all ways and means to reduce fuel costs have to be envisaged, safety being www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址：航空资料1
