Skiesfull and Tyro, your figures are absolutely right, same as they were when I went to school also, probably a long time before you. Although the answer to the fuel on board query was 285 tons, with a metric mind at 2,000" on an engine out approach, I probably would have answered 285 tons instead of pounds and 285,000Lbs was 129,276 Kgs when I went to school or whenever I signed the fuel uplift docket.
