Yes....2 tons per wing on landing and 250kgs in the centre tank...it appears someonelse has also been thinking about this one.
Is this your DIVERSION landing fuel load?
Would you be happy doing a Go a round from minimums with say 2400kgs onboard to a close in diversion as GF were planned for?
I noticed a normal takeoff and climb with an 8 ton fuel load AUH to Bahrain bought on the low fuel pressure pump lights in accelerations and the climb.
Whilst I never had to do one a 2400 fuel load go a round and straight into a low fuel state QRH drill did not seem to me a well planned and safe operation if I was challenged in the courts.
Luckily I do not have to do these things today but I do worry for you guys out there on min CFP fuel and if the computer has it all correct.....off to walk the Lab on full tanks.
