Elias nodded, sweating. “Hold fuel at FL370: 2,400 kg/hr. At 5,000 feet: 3,200 kg/hr. For thirty minutes, that’s 1,600 kg. We have 5,200 kg total remaining. That leaves 3,600 kg for the divert to Vagar. Distance: 280 nautical miles. At our planned speed, that’s 1,800 kg. We have exactly double the required. Safe.”

“Then request CAT II approach to runway 19.”
“So we’re heavy, but legal,” she said. “Now, if we divert to Vagar, the runway is 1,799 meters. Wet. With our landing mass at 71 tonnes, do we have the performance?”
