The pilot
The pilot is on a mission with 160 liters of fuel. The distance between the main base and the operation area is 2 hours, and between the main base and the backup base is 1 hour.
Assume:
- Aircraft fuel consumption is 10 lt/h.
- The minimum fuel after landing should not be less than 43 lt.
- Climb fuel is 10 lt.
- Landing fuel is 2 lt.
How long can you continue on that mission?
