Zero fuel limit translated with trip fuel · case 05
Flights carrying reserve or tankered fuel are payload-limited far below the MZFW structural allowance.
Case contract
Input weights in kg. Allowed takeoff weight = lowest of MTOW, MLW+trip fuel, MZFW+takeoff fuel, MRW-taxi fuel; ties go to the earlier entry in that order. Allowed payload = allowed TOW - OEW - takeoff fuel, floored at 0. Return [allowed TOW, payload, limiting name].
Why this case matters
The classic loadsheet payload limitation takes the lowest of four structural limits, each translated to a takeoff weight with the correct fuel quantity.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| short sector MLW limited | [62000, 14950, "MZFW"] | [63000, 15950, "MLW"] | Failed |
