Specific gravity of Jet A1

Most Australian operators (ISA +10/15) use an SG of .79,does however increase with temperature reductions. I can recall a record setting ferry flight of QF's first 744 from UK to SY non stop using a "chilled" blend of avtur to maximise range.

Rumour has it that a wx requirement approaching SY almost required a diversion.
