Trent, I don't have the fuel analysis for the flight over there unfortunately.
On the way back, however, legal minop was 156.1 tonnes, however we uplifted 171.3 tonnes to cover a PROB30 INTER (then TEMPO) TSRA which came up after the flight plan had been produced, and to allow us to fly a little faster than planned to cover the slight delay out of EZE. Cost to carry additional uplifted fuel on this sector was 373 kg per 1000 kg additional.
The forecast TSRA didn't materialise for our arrival into SYD, and we landed with 20.0 tonnes remaining.
*PROB30 INTER TSRA = 30% Probability of Thunderstorms with Rain, for intermittent periods up to 30mins
TEMPO = 60 mins
