Using a similar procedure for the distance during climb results in 17
nautical miles.
The resultant cruise distance is:

Nautical Miles
With an expected 10 knot headwind, the ground speed for cruise is
predicted to be:
137
:.!Q.
127 Knots
Therefore, the time required for the cruise portion of the trip is:
433 Nautical Miles
127
Knots
=
3.4 Hours
The fuel required for cruise is:
3.4 hours
x
11.0 gallons/hour = 37.4 Gallons
A
45-minute reserve requires:

x
11.0 gallons/hour

Total fuel required 50.6 Gallons
Once the fllght is underway, ground speed checks will provide a more
accurate basis
for
estimating the time enroute and the corresponding fuel
required to complete the trip with ample reserve.
