Yes - I agree and that is what I believe will happen. ICAO is a US organization and as has been stated in the posted articles - there is scope for exemptions. .

It's a pretty airplane, about 20 ft longer than a 777F, but only 8-9000 lbs heavier in MTOW than a pure 777F. Plus, unless you install the additional lower cargo fuel tank, you're getting the 777F fuel if 320.0K and change. As long as floor density isnt an issue... Best for reasonably short legs (8-...
Jump to postThey dumped the Boeing/Jeppesen flight planning system that I think they've had since the beginning. I'm not sure when FlightKeys from Austria is slated to come on line.

A worthless chart - US fuel planning rules are much more archaic compared to any EASA/ICAO fuel rule.
