tubby, from the first interim report
The aircraft left the gate with a calculated weight of 233,257 kg. The estimated takeoff weight was 232,757 kg, for a maximum authorised takeoff weight of 233 t. This takeoff weight broke down as follows:
• empty weight in operating condition: 126,010 kg,
• passenger weight: 17,615 kg (126 men, 82 women, 7 children and one baby),
• weight in cargo compartment (freight and luggage): 18,732 kg,
• fuel weight: 70,400 kg.
The on-board fuel weight corresponded to forecast trip fuel of 63,900 kg, route factor fuel of 1,460 kg, final reserve of 2,200 kg, fuel to alternate airport reserve of 1,900 kg and 940 kg additional fuel. An LMC corrected the definitive load sheet to take into account one passenger fewer without baggage.
The balance corresponding to the aircraft’s takeoff weight and given on the definitive load sheet (after LMC) was 23.3% of the MAC, for a forward limit of 22.7% and an aft limit of 36.2% at takeoff.
On the basis of the operational flight plan, it is possible to estimate the trip fuel at 27.8 t after a flying time of 3 h 41 min, the aircraft would then have had an estimated weight of 205 t and balance comprised between 37.3% and 37.8 %, which is within the limits of the operating envelope.
