In Cathay we sometimes carry 3 sector fuel!! ( Cat C )
Boy isn't that a fun calculation to make.
Agree with meikleour
First, establish your most limiting weight for take-off which will be the lowest of:
a) performance RTOW
b) structural RTOW of aircraft
c) landing weight RTOW which = MLW + trip fuel to destination
Don't forget to check your MLW at the first destination, it may not be the a/c maximum LW.
When calculating the tankering fuel required:-
Second sector fuel required + First sector burn off + Taxi in fuel ( at 1st destination ) + APU burn in transit ( at first destination ) = total fuel required for 2 sectors.
