Apologies if this has been asked before;
Just trying to get my head around the calculations for the Fuel at Take Off Weight;
Calc's I got to:
I had 26.1G @ 71.1Kg for Trip Fuel
I had 2.6 Gal @ 7.1Kg for 10% Contingency Fuel
I had 15 Gal @ 40.8 KG for Fixed Reserve 45Mins @20gph
I had 10.2 Gal @ 27.7Kg for the 30 Minute Hold 20.4gph
With rounding I was roughly 147kg...In the answer it is 151kg....Just trying to see where/what I have missed ?
Thanks Paul

Hi Paul,
Your answer of 147 kgs is correct. The answer seems to have slipped through the cracks, which is based upon the old variable reserve of 15%. Contingency fuel of 10% came in a couple of years ago. Thanks for highlighting.
