TOTTIGOL just for you Sir;

MTOM - 7800
APS. - 4600
16 bears - 1600
2 pilots - 170
16 bags - 160

Total 6530 empty fuel mass
Fuel 1270 kgs
Burn average 480 ph
Cruise speed average 155 KIAS
30 min reserve 220 kgs

Leaves 1050 fuel burnt at 480 ph mass average in fast cruise 155 KIAS = 340nms or 170 Nm Radius of Action.

I am being kind at 10 kgs per man for the bags but harsh with 16 fat bastards at 100 kgs each. In my 1/4 century of offshore experience I reckons we could generally be 200 kgs better of with a normal average load which will see her radius of action sniffing at 200 Nm.

All I have stated is on the Airbus website and in 212 mans posted link.

My personal flight experience, 17 POB at the MTOM supports the data in the glossy brief.

Now try to be gentle and deal in facts!!

Apologies it took so long but been a bit busy.
