Chuck in flight fuel 1T.
traffic 1.5T
Suddenly you’re blasting off and needing to hold to land. Regardless of traffic.
The min weight of a 321 is 47500kg. With crew, catering, equipment, cans etc it’d be well over 50T.
going off old flight plans, a fully loaded A321 has ZFW of around 71T. Max LW is 77.8T
so you can arrived overhead with 6 tonne, around 2 hours endurance, no issues.
How do you think we carry tempo/alternate fuel??
