Given the following information for a Commercial Air Transport operation, calculate the maximum possible Extra Fuel to be uplifted.

Maximum Zero Fuel Mass (MZFM): 2000 kg
Actual Zero Fuel Mass (AZFM): 1800 kg
Regulated Take-Off Mass (RTOM): 3000 kg
Maximum Landing Mass (MLM): 2200 kg
Fuel Tank Capacity: 550 kg
Trip Fuel (TF): 190 kg
Minimum Block Fuel (BF): 350 kg
Taxi Fuel: 15 kg

  • A

    255 kg.

  • B

    Not able to carry Extra Fuel.

  • C

    215 kg.

  • D

    200 kg.

Take off fuel = block fuel (350 kg) - taxi fuel (15 kg) = 335 kg

Using the regular table: (MZFM is not a limit for fuel)

RTOMRLM
+ Trip fuel
30002200 + 190 = 2390

  • Limiting TOM - Actual ZFM = TO fuel allowed
  • 2390 kg - 1800 kg = 590 kg
  • 590 kg - Actual TO Fuel 335 kg = 255 kg

But, check the tank capacity...

Fuel tank capacity 550 kg - Current block fuel 350 kg = 200 kg

=> The most restricting value is: 200 kg.
