New Course Launch: Fuel/Energy Management Training for Pilots and FOOs - Now Updated with ReFuelEU Aviation Content

A brand-new online course is taking off for aviation professionals — and it’s all about fuel, energy, and smart decision-making in the air. The Fuel/Energy Management training course is now officially in our webshop, offering essential knowledge for pilots and flight operations officers (FOOs) looking to level up their skills in efficient, safe fuel handling.

Why Fuel Matters

“What’s inside the tank really matters” isn’t just a slogan — it’s the core of this comprehensive new program. From planning your fuel load on the ground to making real-time decisions in the air, this course equips aviation personnel with the tools and techniques to optimize fuel use while maintaining safety margins, especially in changing weather conditions.

Course Highlights

Designed to complement both Air Operations Training and Flight Operations Basic Training programs, the course provides a robust foundation in:

• Fuel/energy calculation and planning
• Standard and customized fuel schemes
• In-flight re-planning and fuel monitoring
• Regulatory requirements and best practices
• Strategic airport selection and contingency planning
• Weather-based decision-making

• As additional module the Integration of SAF and emissions reduction strategies (ReFuelEU)

Now Featuring ReFuelEU Aviation

For EU operators, we now offer an additional module covering the ReFuelEU Aviation initiative — a major EU policy driving sustainability across the aviation sector. As part of the EU’s Fit for 55 climate package, ReFuelEU aims to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

This module includes guidance on:

• Progressive Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandates: 2% in 2025, increasing to 70% by 2050
• General fueling requirements, including limits on fuel tankering to reduce unnecessary emissions
• Annual SAF usage reporting and third-party verification requirements

These additions ensure that aviation professionals stay informed and compliant with evolving EU regulations on sustainability.

Interactive & Scenario-Based Learning

Through a dynamic mix of theoretical content and real-world scenarios, students will not only get to know critical fuel management concepts but also learn how to apply them in practice. The course puts a strong focus on integrating meteorological data, anticipating fuel needs mid-flight, and making informed operational choices.

The Fuel/Energy Management course can directly be booked in our webshop. Enroll today to gain a deeper understanding of one of aviation’s most vital resources and keep your operations flying efficiently and safely.
