Hi,
I believe there is an error in the Example flow chart on page 141 of the Performance e-text

[b]On page 140, the minimum fuel is correctly calculated at 206kg resulting in a MTOW 2836kg (see below)[/b]

On page 141, the example continues to determine the maximum cargo possible. So here, the MTOW has changed to 2843kg (it should be 2836) and the [i]all fuel at T/O[/i] is shown as 213 (it should be 206) As a result the maximum cargo is 'wrong' due to the incorrect values.

The reason is probably because the older 15% variable fuel is used rather than the new 10%.

Cheers
SJM

G'day SJM

Thanks again I really do appreciate your feedback, and yes it looks like the 15% has reared it's head again, but it does not change the answer as your ZFW limited.

I'll amend the flow chart to reflect that

Cheers
