Flight planning question
Can any one help me with this question?
Planning a flight from Paris-London for a twin-jet aeroplane.
Preplanning:
MTOM = 62,800kg
MZFM = 51,250
MLM = 54,900
MTM = 63,050
Assume the following
Trip fuel = 1,800kg
Alternate = 1,400
Holding fuel (final reserve) = 1,225
DOM = 34,000
Traffic load = 13,000
Catering = 750
Baggage = 3500
Find the take-off mass.
Answer given as 51,515 kg
The answer that I keep on getting is 51 425kg, which is one of the answers given.
I'm working it out as follows
DOM+Traffic+Trip fuel+Alternate+Holding = 51,425 kg
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks for your help.
