There aren't a lot of flight planning options for the 146 series.
In nil wind and ISA conditions, performance manual figures for 1620 NM at FL300 is:
8650 kg @ M0.70 and 8270 kg @ long range cruise (235 KIAS)
Start up / taxi and approach fuel has to be added, probably another 350 kg or so.
What were the enroute wind conditions? A good tailwind could make it doable depending on the reserve requirements.
