So if the FO wants to start the decent 10nm earlier than you would have done, you presumably stop them and make them wait until your TOD? Or do you wait and then discuss later why they had to use V/S etc to shallow the decent later on.
Any fuel that you take above the OFP Fuel Req’d is only ever a best guess based on experience, but that doesn’t mean it’s an exact science... or that extra fuel would be listed as an OFP figure.
If you think you have the right answers all the time, you’re probably in the wrong job (not you specifically CM, just in general)
