Why does the W&B calculation with graph for a planned flight only work with Cruise fuel to determine the difference between Takeoff and Landing weight and CoG?
On the amounts set in the Aircraft Properties, the manual says:
Taxi/Takeoff specifies how much fuel is required for the taxi and takeoff phase of the flight.
Landing specifies how much fuel is likely to be required from arriving overhead at your destination to shutting down the engine.
Although I consider Takeoff to be the portion from start of take-off roll to clearing obstacles, I understand Taxi/Takeoff fuel is assumed to having been consumed 'at Takeoff' because there is one amount for the whole, and likely more of it consumed by start-up, taxi and engine check than the take-off itself.
For Landing however, it seems the opposite to me. The major consumption of that portion would be flying the circuit (be it from overhead or other joins) until touch-down, and it is definitely the most important part of this allowance vs. taxiing in. The Weight and Balance calculation however does not include this part to calculate the difference between Takeoff and Landing.
I could not find an answer to this in existing topics, thanks in advance.
