Thank you for the corrections. I haven’t flown day VFR class G for a couple of decades.

With regard to the PIC on landing in YTIB. Like most of us, the low fuel would easily be ‘masked’ during the refuel. Lessons learnt, life goes on, CASA would be none the wiser. This would be occurring on a daily basis here in Australia, I can’t see a simple solution to enforcing this.

Slight drift, but I would be interested in others thoughts on when you would make a minimum fuel call. For me, anywhere between 35-40 minutes depending on the many variables.
