so you can arrived overhead with 6 tonne, around 2 hours endurance, no issues.
How do you think we carry tempo/alternate fuel??
I’ve got 6000 hours on type. Anytime you diverted, the landing weight was always the issue when you gassed up for another go. As generally you flew around with a full pax load and fuel on arrival was always landing weight limited. Especially for any transcontinental or when you stretched it’s legs.
