Company Advisories
Calculate the RTOW.
Based on the revised ZFW,
calculate the maximum fuel that
can be uplifted, limited by the
fuel tank capacity.
The Crew may uplift additional fuel, but state in detail the reason
for doing so.
• Delta Factor [ZFW]
• Performance Adjustment [PAD]
• Destination Weather [WXD]
• Farther Alternate [ALT]
• Economic Tankering [ETK]
• Fuel already on board [FOB]
ECONOMIC TANKERING:
Example:
A MTOW : 76400kgs
ZFW : 58000kgs
FUEL : 76400-58000 =18400kgs
Out of A, B & C above, B is the most limiting and should be considered as the
maximum fuel uplift for ETK purposes.
Fuel for taxi and APU may be added to this fuel.
4. Last minute fuel uplift due to drop in ZFW to cater for Economic
Tankering, should be avoided in the interest of on time
performance.
