Trip fuel for loadsheet - accepted rule of the air?
Pilot A:
I like the conservative high trip fuel calculated by the computer in the office. When it comes to enter the trip fuel into the loadsheet computer I want to be conservative too and for this reason whenever I am not payload restricted I enter here the minimum expected trip fuel from experience to protect me against overweight-landings, sometimes up to 400 kg less than calculated on F100.
When payload restricted I am ready to increase the value again together with loadmaster and copilot and now everybody is aware of a landing weight problem from the beginning of the flight.
Pilot B:
It is a legal requirement to enter exactly the trip fuel as calculated by the computer.
The only allowed way to protect you against an overweight-landing of 400 kg above maximum is to reduce the official maximum landing weight by 400 kg.
A or B - or C?
