Hi,
In the performance e-text, page 100, we are given an example for calculating Trip fuel - I believe there's an error in the calculated answer; see the bold text for correction
[ul]
[li]in gallons: (180-15-4)/1.1 = 140 gal [b](this answer should be 147 gal)[/b][/li]
[li]in kg: (490 - 41 - 8)/1.1 = 383kg [b](this answer should be 401kg)[/b][/li]
[/ul]
Cheers

G'day SJM
Thanks for the feedback you are correct I don't know how I came up with those numbers, I must have changed the 15% back to 10% but did not modify the answer.
I'll amend the answers to reflect that
Cheers
