Given the TOW of 233t and an average fuel burn of 7.5t/hr, 3 hrs flight time give a fuel burn of 22.5t, so the weight of the aircraft would have been approx 210,5t after 3 hrs.
Please, could anyone with access to A332 performance manuals have a look at the altitude capability at
a) 210t @ ISA
b) 210t @ ISA+10
c) 210t @ ISA+38
and post the results?
Thanks.
