Our computer generated flight plan show the 5% contingency fuel on arrival. I have always worked on the policy that this fuel is a buffer should you need it. Why not get Jeppesen to amend your programme to show the 5% contingency on arrival, which is normally the case. I have no idea what type of aircraft you are flying, as a matter of interest how is your landing speeds calculated ?
