This may help demonstrate how inept Qantas are. 11.4 litres is 12.05 Quarts. From the maintenance manual -







They have now issued instructions (if this guidance blog could be considered that) to dispatch the aircraft with less than the required minimum oil. They have forgotten to add the expected oil usage over the sector to the guidance.


Now we have a situation where Pilots may feel comfortable following the incorrect message from the Check Captain and CASA sitting on their hands. This whole situation is fraught with danger, particularly considering that both engines would be consuming oil simultaneously at roughly the same rate.
