Answer :
Final answer:
To calculate the amount of AvGas required, we need to determine the flight time first. The total fuel consumption can then be calculated using the flight time, fuel consumption rate, and fuel reserve. The correct answer is 226 pounds.
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of AvGas required, we need to determine the flight time first. The formula for flight time is:
Flight Time = Distance / Groundspeed
Substituting the given values, we have: Flight Time = 350 NM / 150 knots = 2.33 hours.
Next, we can calculate the total fuel consumption, including the day VFR fuel reserve. The formula for total fuel consumption is:
Total Fuel Consumption = Flight Time * Fuel Consumption Rate + Fuel Reserve
Substituting the given values, we have: Total Fuel Consumption = 2.33 hours * 80 pounds per hour + 15 pounds (assuming 45 minutes reserve) = 226.4 pounds, which can be rounded to 226 pounds.
Therefore, the correct answer is option a. 226 pounds.
