Fuel Weight & Balance Calulcations

Hi guys,

Just wanting to clarify calculations for W&B and planned fuel burns for flight planning.

I have always used flight fuel (inc reserves etc) as an upper limit and zero fuel as the lower limit. My theory being that if I were to run extremely low on fuel I would know I'm still within W&B limits. You cannot go out of the W&B if your within these values!

It is argued that I should be using only the planned fuel burn for the lower limit? What would the Mr CASA man say??

Thoughts?
