Request clarification on fuel load
As per the confirmed report the flight took on board 53 tons of fuel at KUL.
Query: would this include the reserve fuel from prior sector of aircraft on board or the fresh uptake only?
If it is the fresh uptake only would that not add about 800 km or another hour to the flight being calculated?
Assuming another 800 km range and the aircraft continued to fly south from where the last ping to IMERSAT, is there sattelite coverage in that area to pick up subsequent pings 30 minutes later or this really the black hole as being described.
Thank you
