Which statement about mission fuel fractions is TRUE?

  • A.Segment ratios are multiplied, not added
  • B.Segment ratios are added to give the total
  • C.Only the cruise segment matters
  • D.Reserves are included automatically

Answer: A

Correct answer: Segment ratios are multiplied, not added

Each fraction is the ratio of weight at the end of a segment to weight at the start, so the overall ratio is their product - the output of one segment is the input to the next. Adding them would give a number greater than one, which is meaningless. The cruise segment usually dominates the product, but every segment contributes, and reserves are added afterwards.
