Background:
In the early 1970s, following the launch of the wide-body 747, Boeing began considering further developments of its narrow-body 727 trijet.  Designed for short and medium length routes,  the three-engined 727 was the best-selling commercial jetliner of the 1960s and a mainstay of the U.S. domestic airline market.  Studies focused on improving the 189-seat 727-200, the most successful 727 variant.  Two approaches were considered: a stretched 727-300, and an all-new aircraft code-named 7N7.  The former was a

Fuel calculation

Because of the large number of questions about the method of calculating fuel of the flights,
 I liked to share you this special educational calculates fuel lecture.

We can divide the fuel used for your flight into four sections, namely:
1 - Taxi Fuel (fuel used for taxi)
2 - Trip Fuel (fuel used for the flight on air).
3 - Reserves (fuel reserve).
4 - Extra (excess fuel).

* - Taxi fuel:
                   it is calculated fuel for the needs of the aircraft operating system, APU and taxiing to the runway. For example, Beoing737 fuel used for taxi operation is usually from 250 to 270 kg (taxi fuel information supplied by the Department of Operations)

* -  Trip Fuel:
                   it is the fuel using in your flight, starting with take-off, SID, Climbing, Cruising, Descending, approaching, star and landing. (We will explain later)

The Airbus A340 is a long-range four-engine wide-body commercial passenger jet airliner. Developed and produced byAirbus Industrie, a consortium of European aerospace companies, which is fully owned by EADS, the A340 was assembled at Toulouse, France. It seats up to 375 passengers in the standard variants and 440 in the stretched −600 series. Depending on the model, it has a range of between 6,700 to 9,000 nautical miles (12,400 to 17,000 km). It is similar in design to the twin-engined A330 with which it was concurrently designed. Its distinguishing features are four high-bypass turbofan engines and three-bogie main landing gear.
Airbus manufactured the A340 in four fuselage lengths.

The A330 is a medium-size, wide-body airliner, with two engines suspended on pylons under the wings. On the ground, the two-wheel nose undercarriage and two four-wheel bogie main legs built by Messier-Dowty support a maximum ramp weight (MRW) of 230.9 tonnes (509,000 lb), while the designed maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) is 230 tonnes (510,000 lb) on the A330-200 variant. An option allows a maximum ramp weight of 233.9 tonnes (516,000 lb) with a maximum takeoff weight of 233.0 tonnes (514,000 lb).
The airframe of the A330 features a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a wing virtually identical to that of the A340. The wings were designed and manufactured by BAe, which developed a long slender wing with a very high aspect ratio to provide high aerodynamic efficiency.  The wing is swept back at 30 degrees and, along with other design features, allows a maximum operating Mach number of 0.86.  The wing has a very high thickness-to-chord ratio of 12.8 per cent, which means that a long span and high aspect ratio can be attained without a severe weight penalty.  For comparison, the rival MD-11 has a thickness-to-chord ratio of 8–9 per cent. Each wing also has a 2.74 m (9.0 ft) tall wiglet instead of the wingtip fences found on earlier Airbus aircraft.

 The Airbus A330 is a wide-body twin-engine jet airliner made by Airbus, a division of EADS. Versions of the A330 have arange of 7,400 to 13,430 kilometres (4,000 to 7,250 nmi) and can accommodate up to 335 passengers in a two-class layoutor carry 70 tonnes (150,000 lb) of cargo.
The origin of the A330 dates to the 1970s as one of several conceived derivatives of Airbus's first airliner, the A300. The A330 was developed in parallel with the A340, which shared many common airframe components but differed in number of engines. Both airliners incorporated fly-by-wire flight control technology, first introduced on an Airbus aircraft with the A320, as well as the A320's six-display glass cockpit. In June 1987, after receiving orders from various customers, Airbus launched the A330 and A340. The A330 was Airbus's first airliner offered with the choice of three engines: General Electric CF6, Pratt & Whitney PW4000, and Rolls-Royce Trent 700.

About Boeing 777-200

The Boeing 777 is a long-range, wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet and is commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven". The aircraft has seating for over 300 passengers and has a range from 5,235 to 9,380 nautical miles (9,695 to 17,370 km), depending on model. Its distinguishing features include the largest-diameter turbofan engines of any aircraft, six wheels on each main landing gear, a circular fuselage cross-section, and blade-shaped tail cone. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, the 777 was designed to replace older wide-body airliners and bridge the capacity difference between the 767 and 747. As Boeing's first fly-by-wire airliner, it has computer mediated controls; it is also the first entirely computer-designed commercial aircraft.

In aviation, an Aeronautical Information Publication (or AIP) is defined by the International
Civil Aviation Organization
 as a publication issued by or with the authority of a state and
containing 
aeronautical information of a lasting character essential to air navigation. It is
designed to be a manual containing thorough details of regulations, procedures and other
information pertinent to flying aircraft in the particular country to which it relates. It is usually
issued by or on behalf of the respective civil aviation administration.




==Overview==

The structure and contents of AIPs are standardized by international agreement through ICAO.  AIPs normally have three parts - GEN (general), ENR (en route) and AD (aerodromes). The document contains many charts; most of these are in the AD section where details and charts of all public [[aerodrome]]s are published.
