I was about to start a flight from AT 17 to vomm ,
but confused on how much fuel to fill.
can the aircraft even make the long distance flight.,
Aircraft: Lockheed Martin C130
please, can anyone help me
Yes. the tank is decently big. The c130 can go far but very slowly
so how much fuel should i take and what altitude would make it efficient
How far is the flight
5781 nautical miles
Use around 90% of your fuel. Should be around 12 hrs if i’m correct
Here’s a rundown of the fuel from http://fuelplanner.com/index.php

May not be accurate
fuel: 26898 kg(90%) nearly 54147 pounds
will see if it works
thanks for your time
Use fltpltoif.com to make the flight plan. This gives you the fuel calculation, route and also the flight levels needed.
