The plot unthickens.....
If there is any shred of truth in the above posts - i.e. filing for LFBO but intending LFPG (all above board and as per regs, one assumes) - then a marginal fuel mentality scenario for lack of adequate CB avoidance cannot be dismissed. I checked the BEA report again for RTOW vs MTOW.... ah, suddenly it starts to make sense. I still maintain pts 1 to 11 on p49 for what happened subsequently. Whatever law it was in, the scenariio holds. Commercial pressure vs airmanship leading up to it? We shall one day see....
