Recording fuel or oil log – An overview

In this page you can enter the fuel and oil details for the technical log. Fuel details, such as the fuel type, the name of the fuel supplier, the amount of fuel on arrival, amount of fuel consumed when the aircraft is grounded and the fuel uplifted in the aircraft, can be entered. The system calculates the amount of fuel before uplifting and the amount of fuel in the aircraft at the time of departure.

Auxiliary power units (APU) are engine-driven generators contained in the aircraft (usually in the tail) that provide the aircraft with necessary power, during the time when the aircraft is at the gate. You can specify the APU cycle and the number of hours the APU was in operation.

The hydraulic oil consumed by the hydraulic systems in the aircraft can be entered. You can also retrieve the position code of type “Engine” or “APU” and enter the amount of oil on arrival and the uplifted oil. The system calculates the amount of oil at the time of departure.

The system updates the flight, fuel and hydraulic oil details. You are also provided with the option of confirming or canceling the technical log in this page. On confirmation, the system sets the status of the technical log to “Confirmed”. On cancellation the system sets the status of the technical log to “Cancelled”.
