Understand the fuel decision.
A practical introduction to tankering, mission inputs, and reviewing fuel economics.
Evaluating Tankering Opportunities
Evaluate price differences across planned stops alongside applicable fees, uplift-based waivers, and the estimated additional burn from carrying fuel. These factors determine whether a lower purchase price may translate into a lower total mission cost.
FuelOptix compares purchasing strategies using entered pricing and mission requirements. Review the estimated fuel and fee benefits together with carrying costs to assess each opportunity across the itinerary.
Preparing a mission
Start with the aircraft and itinerary, then enter planned fuel requirements from your flight plan. Add available fuel prices, handling fees, and applicable fuel-purchase waiver thresholds.
These inputs give the recommendation its context. Review the information for each stop before evaluating a fuel strategy.
Understanding results
Estimated savings compare the saved baseline and optimized mission costs. They may include fuel purchasing and fee benefits; they are not guaranteed tankering savings.
Recorded completion actuals support reviewing eligible completed-mission outcomes. Savings variance shows how realized savings compare with the saved estimate. Missing actuals remain unavailable rather than being treated as zero.
