Getting fuel prices
Tab FUEL can show fuel data from uploaded files in the section OPS > Fuel Prices, as well as custom prices added there manually. The section is split into 2 parts: ADEP fuel prices & ADES fuel prices.
By default, the section is empty. To load or reload the prices, click
For particular prices, each field shows details such as:
-
Fuel supplier
-
Fuel card
-
Price per L JET A1
-
Currency
-
Expiration
-
Est. uplift cost
-
Est. consumption cost
-
Index
Expiration
The expiration date will be marked with colours as below:
-
Orange - when the expiration date is in the future, but is going to expire before the flight’s STD
-
Red - when the price has already expired
Fuel price index
It is possible to define global reference fuel price, to have a fuel price index calculated regardless of the supplier. You can set it up in OPS -> Fuel Prices.
The price set up in OPS -> Fuel Prices will be used to calculate the fuel price index, shown in the Fuel tab on flights in OPS, regardless of the supplier.
The index will show the difference (in percentages) between the price offered by a supplier and the reference price.
The formula is:
PriceIndex = (OfferedPrice - ReferencePrice) / ReferencePrice * 100%
If the index is positive (the price offered is higher than the reference) the indication is red. If the difference is negative (the price offered is lower than the reference), the indication is green.
Estimated fuel cost
Estimated uplift cost
The estimated uplift cost is calculated based on fuel price, and uplift value, which is determined as:
-
‘Uplift’ value in the JL, if entered
-
‘Block fuel’ from the ‘Fuel’ item in the OPS checklist, minus ‘Fuel remaining’ from the previous leg (if available)
-
‘Trip fuel’ from the ‘Fuel’ item in the OPS checklist, if there is no ’Block fuel” entered
Estimated consumption cost
The estimated consumption cost is calculated based on fuel price and ‘Trip fuel’ entered in the ‘Fuel’ item of the OPS checklist
Base / total price
In the top-right corner of the FUEL tab you can find a switcher
Favourite suppliers
Prices marked with a star indicate a favourite Fuel Supplier selected in the OPS -> Fuel Prices section.
You can mark a supplier as a global favourite by clicking the star icon to open a pop‑up and selecting the Set as global favourite option. Alternatively, leave this box unticked to set the supplier as preferred for specific airports and assign preferred aircraft to that supplier. Enter the airport codes; the list of your aircraft will then appear so you can fine‑tune the supplier preferences.
Showing prices on Crew Trip sheet
Also, in FUEL tab you can select which fuel price should appear on Trip Sheet document by marking a checkbox (the lowest price appears in tab FUEL in green).
Adding custom prices
It is also possible to add a custom fuel price by clicking ‘+’ next to the airport code - this will open a new field where you need to select fuel supplier, a fuel card, add the price and the currency. You can remove the unwanted custom fuel prices by clicking
Fuel price notes
Notes attached in fuel files can be viewed if you hover the mouse over this icon
It is possible to edit the Fuel price note in the FUEL tab. Simply click on the notepad icon and edit existing note or add a new one in the ‘Edit note’ pop-up window. This applies only to the notes on the edited leg
