Tankering

 

The optional fuel tankering module compares several parameters for the user:
  1. Departure fuel price
  2. Destination fuel price
  3. Fuel flow differences for tankered fuel weight
  4. Rebates offered at destination
  5. Flight level, speed, temperature and weight

Output includes:
bulletGals - gallons required at the destination
bulletTank - gallons to tanker
bulletBuy - amount to purchase at  destination
bulletSavings - in dollars relative to the alternatives. 

The software is aircraft-type specific, so it calculates the differential fuel flow at the higher weight of carrying extra fuel.  The user can select different cruise flight levels, speed (.8MI, Long Range etc), relative temperatures, takeoff weight (w/o tankering) and flight duration.

Lastly, the program looks at fuel prices at the departure and arrival airports and factors any landing fee rebates for purchasing "X" number of
gallons.

A spreadsheet then appears comparing various amounts of  fuel remaining at the destination, the number of gallons to tanker, the number of gallons to purchase at destination and the dollar savings over buying all at destination.

A quick Falcon 7X example (one line within the spreadsheet) might look like this:

600      517     100     $ 398.22

Read as: You want 600 gals at the destination, tanker 517 gals (the 17 gallons if used to transport the extra fuel weight 3 hours in this case at FL250, normal ISA, TOW 60000), purchase 100 gals at the destination (to take advantage of a landing fee rebate) and save $398.22 over buying 600 gals at the destination.
 

Keep in mind there is tankered fuel, fuel burned to transport tankered fuel and replenished fuel at destination (amount to bring you back to the gallons you want at the destination).
 
Option A: The total cost of purchasing all tankered and burned fuel from your departure point.  No replenish fuel.
 
Option B: Cost of all tankered fuel purchased at departure, replenish only burned fuel from FBO (rebate effect possible)
 
Option C: Purchase all fuel at destination. (rebate effect)
 
Option D: Replenish just enough to satisfy rebate and remainder from departure, unless some other combination gives more savings.
 
For each gallons desired at destination, the highest savings option is shown along with the computed amount of savings.
