Fuel on board at touchdown!

Thanks, very interesting...
BOAC
Basically the plans are to 1500ft over the destination with 2400kg, then there's an arrival burn built into the plan which is calculated from 1500ft to touchdown. It takes into account the most unfavorable runway configuration and approach which burns the most amount of fuel to touchdown. Hopefully that makes sense.
In regards to your 1st question... Yes it would be up to the PIC to make the necesssary adjustments to the 2400kg at departure time minus 1 hour as the company may have planned the flight several hours prior!!
Just a question... Are you saying that for every flight planned, there was always fuel uplifted for a diversion?
