Vilas, your quote only mentions final reserve, not alternate plus reserve. I don’t fly in your regulatory environment, but that quote itself doesn’t support what you are saying. Ditto for a mayday call, it’s a fuel mayday when you will land with less than fixed reserve, not when you will land with less than alternate plus reserve. Surely you can see that it is far safer to land at a good destination with lots of fuel instead of an alternate with minimum fuel. Why would you divert from a perfectly good airfield?
