Hello,
would need some help with the following question:
Given: maximum allowable take-off mass 64.400 kg, maximum landing mass 56.200 kg, Maximum zero fuel mass 53.000 kg.
Dry operating mass 35.500 kg, Traffic load 14.500 kg, Trip fuel 4.900 kg, Minimum take-off fuel 7.400 kg.
Find maximum allowable take-off fuel:
a) 11.400 kg
b) 14.400 kg
c) 11.100 kg (this is the correct answer according to the QDB)
d) 8.600 kg
Here is how I calculated it:
since the question is asking for the max allowable T/O fuel I simply subtracted Max. ZFM 53.000 kg from Max. allowable TOM 64.400 kg and came up with 11.400 kg but apparently this is not correct. What's my mistake or what did I miss?
