Fifth VP Fuel Conservation Quarterly Report (June 1982 - August 1982) Supplement.

Abstract

Naval Air Development Center (NAVAIRDEVCEW) has been tasked by Naval Material Command (NAVMAT-08E) to examine changes in operational concepts, payloads, equipment and tactics that reduce fuel consumption. As part of this task NAVAIRDEVCEN has developed a data base to track fuel consumption for the VP community. The data base is used as a means of documenting fuel saving techniques. COMPATWING ELEVEN is currently participating in this endeavor. The primary areas of analysis described in this report include: excess fueling; planned vs actual flight time; fuel flow by mission phase; fuel flow by mission type; use of APU for non-operational flights; engine loitered; and number of engines on during taxi. This report contains detailed analysis on fuel consumption during the months of June-August, 1982 for VP squadrons participating in the VP Fuel Conservation Study, (Patrol Squadrons Forty-Nine, Five, Twenty-Four, Fifty-Six and Sixteen).
