mismanagement of fuel - Caused by pilot error or systemic failures leading to insufficient or incorrectly supplied fuel to the engine, causing engine failure, and often resulting in accidents. Common causes include forgetting to switch fuel tanks, miscalculating fuel burn, poor fuel management awareness, and engine fuel system contamination., fuel miscalculation - Human error of any incorrect assumption, calculation, or input that results in the aircraft carrying insufficient or excessive fuel for its flight, under-fuelling - The engines lose power due to a lack of fuel delivery. This can be a result of errors in fuel management, pilot miscalculation, incorrect tank selection during flight, or procedural errors during the refuelling process., fuel exhaustion - A hazardous situation when an aircraft completely runs out of usable fuel, leading to engine failure and potentially catastrophic outcomes like forced landings or ditching, fuel starvation - A critical situation where an aircraft's engine(s) stop due to a lack of fuel supply, even when there is still usable fuel in the tanks, a fuel imbalance - This occurs when there's an unequal amount of fuel in the left and right wing tanks, which can affect the aircraft's stability, the cross-feed fuel procedure - To open a valve to allow fuel from a tank on one side of a multi-engine aircraft to be fed to an engine on the opposite side, fuel jettisoning - An emergency procedure for aircraft to rapidly reduce their weight by releasing fuel in mid-air, excessive fuel consumption - Burning more fuel than necessary, to equalize fuel consumption - Ensuring equal fuel levels between tanks to maintain balance, a fuel gauge - A required instrument that monitors and displays the precise amount of fuel in each tank for safe flight operations, fuel endurance - The maximum amount of time an aircraft can remain airborne on a given amount of fuel, fuel consumption system - A complex set of hardware and software that monitors, measures, and analyzes an aircraft's fuel usage for efficiency and environmental purposes, a fuel stop-over - A technical stop made by an aircraft for the sole purpose of refueling, as the aircraft's range is insufficient to complete the journey to the final destination without it., fuel pumps - Mechanical devices that transfer fuel from the aircraft's tanks to the engine, bingo fuel - A military term referring to the minimum fuel remaining in an aircraft at which it must begin a return to its base or diversion to an alternate airport to avoid fuel exhaustion, a fuel sensor - A device that accurately measures the fuel level in an aircraft's tanks and sends this information to the cockpit, where a fuel gauge displays the real-time data for the pilot, fuel contamination - The presence of foreign substances such as water, particulates, microorganisms, or other fuel types in a plane's fuel system, minimum fuel - A situation in which an aircraft’s fuel supply has reached a state where the flight is committed to land at a specific aerodrome and no additional delay can be accepted.,
