During dispatch calculations, you want to calculate the maximum possible Traffic Load and carry as a minimum 13 800 kg of Block Fuel.

Determine the Allowed Traffic Load for your flight, given:

Allowed Take-off Mass: 71 240 kg
Maximum Zero Fuel Mass: 56 380 kg
Dry Operating Mass: 40 561 kg
Actual Traffic Load: 14 367 kg
Taxi Fuel: 274 kg

Assume NO restrictions on the Landing Mass.

  • A

    1452 kg

  • B

    2786 kg

  • C

    15 819 kg

  • D

    17 153 kg

Refer to figure.
To tidy up the information given in the question:

  • "Allowed TOM 71 240 kg" - let's assume this is the Regulated TOM
  • Take-off fuel = block fuel - taxi = 13 800 kg - 274 kg = 13 526 kg
  • Landing mass has no restrictions

Using the regular table:

RTOM RLM MZFM
+ Trip fuel + take off fuel
71 240 No restrictions 56 380 + 13 526 = 69 906

69 906 is our limiting Take-Off Mass.

  • Take-off mass - Dry Operating Mass (DOM) - Take-off fuel = Traffic Load
  • 69 906 kg - 40 561 kg - 13 526 kg = 15 819 kg available for traffic load.
