how much does an E175 burn an hour?

just looking for an estimate, thanks

Two main line jobs per hour.

It's really about as amazing that this has gone well into the second page without a simple answer to the guys question.... You all must be working in crew planning and or scheduling....

Just a crazy idea that came to me! Don't you think if you were starting an airline which I know is such a simple and mindless task, that you might consider being in touch with the manufacturer about some numbers pertaining to the aircraft you might be interested in? Hmmmmmm just a crazy thought.
Reminds me of a saying, " If you have to ask how much it is, you cant afford it"

Now, this is my kind of post...hot dog eating contests, smart-ass responses. All we need to do now is talk about Mesa's windbreakers.

I don't care who you work that was funny!

The CRJ700 burns about 5000lbs the first hr, 4000lbs the second hr and 3300lbs the third hr.

Same as the E170...

Rule of thumb...5200 lbs/hr for the 1st hour. 4000lbs/hr for the remaining flight time. That will ball park your fuel planning on the fat side. Its actually less, but the ROT works for sizing up your flight time/fuel burn.

Flight level 350 is approximately 3200-3400 lbs per hour at .78 Mach. Yes, that is both engines.

5200 the first hour??? I trust you and all but I was thinking more along the lines of 4500 first hour and 4000 there after. Atleast thats what they told us to go by un upgrade.

Personally I like 5000 first hour then 4000 after.

What's really pathetic is that nobody can give him a straight answer to a fairly simple question.

Listen i flew for Trans States for two years and got just as sh@@ on by management as anyone else in this forum. I left there and went to business school after realizing, just as everyone else has, that this profession is not what it once was or ever will be again. I have spent the last two years as an aerospace analyst for an investment bank and have learned more about the aerospace/airline industry than i ever could have flying the line.

You should be happy to hear that a former waterskier wants to start an airline because i know what it's like to be way under paid with a poor qol.

Comments?

So you got smart? Now you'll be the one making the big bucks and under paying the pilots as well as poor qol.

I routinely see 1700-1900 per hour at cruise in the mid 30's (33-37) at .78mach.

If you slow, you can really just sip fuel. Slowed to .74 for a flight to IAH and we wound up 10 minutes later but 600lbs fatter after 2 hours of .74.

So we are 200lbs/hr different...not to shabby. Yeah...Climb to altitude...plus, you gotta remember its the NE Corridor---PHL ALOT (cough, cough), so I use alot of fudge. I look at the time to destination and plug in the numbers. That includes my alternate, too. Works well. Also, I look at FOD (Fuel over destination). My personal comfort level is min of 4000lbs FOD. RPA wants an average burn of 550 gph or 3690 lbs/hr. That's Block to Block and includes APU burn, SE taxi out and in...if able, and standard climb, cruise, decent, and approach. (Of course, we all know the NE Corridor is totally non-standard.) If you follow their profile in the computerized flightplan data, you get pretty close...except if you operate outta PHL...

By the way, with all this crappy weather in DFW regional this last 3 weeks, I had to divert to SHV and declare min fuel for the first time in this ship. Had yellow fuel numbers the last 15 minutes of the flight.
ATC was cool as we are one of six aircraft low on fuel, so they pretty much let us do what we wanted to get to our divert field.
