With this factor included, the fuel estimate would be calculated as follows:
Fuel to climb, standard temperature 6.1
Increase due to non-standard temperature

Gallons
Using a similar procedure for time and distance during a climb, the
following results are obtained:
Time to climb
21 Minutes
Distance to climb 38 Nautical Miles
The distances shown on the climb chart are for zero wind. A correction for
the effect of wind may be made as follows:
Distance with no wind 38
Decrease in distance due to wind
(21/60 x 10 knot headwind)

Corrected Distance to Climb 35 Nautical Miles
The resultant cruise distance is:
Total distance 480
Climb distance
-35
Cruise distance
445 Nautical Miles
With an expected 10 knot headwind, the ground speed for cruise is
predicted to be:
141
.:.!Q
131 Knots
Therefore, the time required for the cruise portion of the trip is:
445 Nautical Miles
=
3.4 Hours
