Thanks to all for the replies. I appreciate all of them!

My gross error check is that I copy the OPF into the FMS and before departure, we do a triple check that the fuel displayed by the on-board SW (with full route and correct weight) matches to OFP and to what is in the tanks. It is also the manufacturer's procedure.

Thanks FlightDetent, I assume the OPF is the onboard performance equipment for calculating V speeds?

I was wondering when handed the flight plan, do you check the fuel offered and check for their 'reasonableness' in what the company offered?
If it is ok, can you let me know which type you fly and what block fuel you would use?

Keep them coming folks!

Thanks to all
