Rule of thumb for calculating required fuel?

1

I’m looking for a calculation which isn’t a website, something I can write down and do it without internet.

Any rules of thumb for this? Thanks!

And this one! :)
Specifically this part: “Am going to start to be a bit more scientific by setting my fuel weight at start to a reserved amount ( 1.5 hrs burn) plus expected length of flight + 10%.”.

This is how I’m going to try it. :)

Lol, I love the IF community for many reasons, but this is one of the top. There’s no shortage of members willing to help out.
