What is the Emergency Fuel in pounds?

• A. 1060 lbs
• B. 1500 lbs
• C. 1367 lbs
• D. 1700 lbs

Answer: (C)

Emergency fuel is the extra amount of fuel planned to cover unforeseen delays or a diversion, ensuring you can still reach a safe landing after departure. It’s determined by the aircraft’s burn rate and the required hold time or alternate-diversion scenario defined in the flight planning data. For the Longitude 700 in this question, the calculation that matches the prescribed hold time and engine burn produces 1,367 pounds, which is why that value is correct. The other numbers don’t meet the mandated hold/alternate requirements for this plan, given the aircraft’s burn characteristics.
