Flying
PLANNING A FLIGHT
A fuel stop will add 45 minutes to the total trip time. The average fuel stop includes personal refreshment, at least one phone call, paying the fuel bill, and a walk around to check fuel caps and sumps. Add 10 minutes if a squall line is approaching and you are hoping to depart before the weather arrives.
