Thanks

Hey folks,

thanks for the replies. I thought that it is 210t as well, but after reading all the related books including GTG I figured out that the answer to such a question is simply that the company has to calculate it for each route accordingly. Further it says 'It is the weight of an airplane which takes of with maximum structural weight from MSL and flies for one hour'. So if it would be 210t and the max structural weight is 233t it means this aircraft burned 23t of fuel within 1 hour. Holy moly...thats quite some burn off i guess.

Happy landings
