Yip, I’ll wear that. Bit of a silly question without more info. I’m curious if anyone would be happy with what I am picturing so I will try to put a bit more info around it and see if I can make a clear scenario;
what’s the weather for a starter..what time of day?
perfect flying weather, CAVOK, 15 degrees, 5 knots of wind, no chance of rain or fog or dust storms or smoke etc.
Lets make the flight Syd- Melbourne landing at 10am so the holding fuel is only 10 minutes. Required fixed fuel reserve is of course 30 minutes.
No other notams or interesting factors that would lead a reasonable person to expect delays beyond the Notam’d 10 minutes ATC holding.
Anyone ok with a Jetstar or Tiger or Virgin or QF skipper planning to arrive with 45 minutes of fuel in tanks?
