Fuel & Oil Tracking

Track fuel uplift, fuel remaining, oil consumption, and oil levels for every flight. Fuel and oil data is captured as part of each flight log entry and aggregated into registers and analytics charts. This guide covers recording fuel/oil in flight logs, viewing the Fuel & Oil Register, analysing consumption trends, and identifying abnormal oil consumption patterns.

Record Fuel & Oil
1 Fuel Fields in Flight Log

When creating a flight log at /flight-ops/log-book/new, the Landings & Fuel section contains four optional fuel/oil fields. All quantities are in litres.

FieldRequiredDescription
Fuel Uplift (Ltrs)NoFuel quantity loaded before departure. Enter the amount added at the fuel stop.
Fuel Remaining (Ltrs)NoFuel remaining in tanks after arrival. Used to compute consumption.
Flight log form showing the Landings and Fuel section with fuel uplift, fuel remaining, oil uplift, and oil remaining fields
Fuel consumption for a flight = Fuel Uplift − (Fuel Remaining − Previous Remaining). Recording both uplift and remaining consistently enables accurate consumption analysis across the fleet.
2 Oil Fields in Flight Log
FieldRequiredDescription
Oil Uplift (Ltrs)NoOil quantity added before the flight.
Oil Remaining (Ltrs)NoOil remaining after the flight.
Abnormal oil consumption can indicate engine wear, seal degradation, or other mechanical issues. Monitor oil consumption trends using the Oil Consumption chart at /camo/graphs/oil-consumption. Investigate sudden increases immediately.
Fuel & Oil Register
3 View the Register

Navigate to Registers → Fuel & Oil Register at /camo/registers/fuel-oil. This read-only register compiles fuel and oil data from all approved flight logs:

ColumnDescription
Flight Log NoReference to the source flight log.
AircraftRegistration mark.
DateFlight date.
RouteDeparture → Arrival.
Air TimeFlying hours for the sector.
Fuel UpliftFuel loaded (litres).
Fuel RemainingFuel remaining (litres).
Oil UpliftOil loaded (litres).
Oil RemainingOil remaining (litres).

4 Consumption Calculation

AeroTrack computes fuel consumption per flight hour using the register data. Key metrics for monitoring:

MetricFormulaUse
Fuel Burn per HourTotal fuel consumed ÷ Air TimeCompare against aircraft type spec.
Oil Consumption RateOil consumed per flight hourFlag engines exceeding limits.
Monthly TotalSum of all fuel uplifts in a monthBudget and procurement planning.
Use the CAMO Reports at /camo/reports/fuel-consumption for a printable PDF summary of fuel consumption by aircraft and time period.
Analytics & Monitoring
5 Fuel Consumption Report

Navigate to CAMO Reports → Fuel Consumption at /camo/reports/fuel-consumption for a structured report showing fuel usage by aircraft, route, and time period. The report can be printed or exported as PDF.

Report SectionContents
SummaryTotal fuel consumed, average burn rate, fleet-wide totals.
By AircraftPer-aircraft fuel consumption and burn rate comparison.
By PeriodMonthly fuel consumption trend data.
6 Oil Consumption Chart

Navigate to CAMO Graphs → Oil Consumption at /camo/graphs/oil-consumption for an interactive chart showing oil consumption trends over time. The chart highlights engines with increasing consumption patterns.

Chart FeatureDescription
Trend LineOil consumption per flight hour over time.
Aircraft FilterView data for a specific aircraft.
ThresholdVisual marker for manufacturer oil consumption limits.
DGCA and OEM guidelines specify maximum oil consumption rates per engine type. A sustained increase in oil consumption may require engine inspection, borescope review, or early overhaul. Flag and investigate any upward trends immediately.
