Given the following information, what will be the expected Landing Mass at the destination?

Maximum Structural Take-off Mass: 8600 kg
Maximum Structural Landing Mass: 8600 kg
Zero Fuel Mass: 6500 kg
Taxi Fuel: 15 kg
Contingency Fuel: 110 kg
Alternate Fuel: 600 kg
Final Reserve Fuel: 130 kg
Trip Fuel: 970 kg

  • A

    7340 kg

  • B

    8310 kg

  • C

    8325 kg

  • D

    8600 kg

Refer to figure.
Another question which tests your knowledge of the mass definitions and their relationships. To calculate the landing mass we need just 2 items:

  1. Actual Zero Fuel Mass (Be careful of Maximum ZFM, which is often given by the examiner as a decoy)
  2. Fuel on board at landing

From the question we have:

Zero Fuel Mass = 6500 kg
& the fuel on board at landing:

  • Contingency = 110 kg
  • Alternate = 600 kg
  • Final Reserve = 130 kg

6500 + 110 + 600 + 130 = 7340 kg

Note: You do not add the Taxi Fuel as you have burnt that taxiing to the runway, nor add the trip fuel which you have burnt getting to the destination.
