Procedures for the Calculation of Airplane Fuel Consumption

Scope
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) describes procedures for calculating fuel consumption for civil jet airplanes through all modes of operation for all segments of a flight. Turboprop and piston airplanes, as well as helicopters or unconventional aircraft, are not included in this AIR. The principle purpose of these procedures is to assist model developers in calculating airplane fuel consumption in a consistent and accurate manner that can be used to address various environmental assessments including those related to policy decisions and regulatory requirements. This AIR is intended to directly support the emission calculations documented in AIR5715. The models described in this AIR are intended to be used from the start of the takeoff roll to the end of the ground roll; taxi fuel consumption models are not included. If modelers have access to higher fidelity methods, they should use those methods in lieu of the ones in this AIR.
Rationale
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides aviation environmental modelers with standard procedures for calculating the fuel consumption of airplanes in all phases of flight. The methods contained in this AIR make use of airplane performance models, such as found in AIR1845 or Eurocontrol’s BADA 3. The fuel consumption predicted by these methods can be used as inputs to emission calculations, such as found in AIR5715.

A-21 Aircraft Noise Measurement Aviation Emission Modeling
To develop and maintain relevancy of recommended practices for aircraft noise measurement and guidance for modeling of both aircraft noise and aviation emissions and to promote a unified technical approach to support the practical assessment of their impact.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
