I fail to understand these so called “captains” that never elect to apply common sense and airmanship to the computed piece of paper’s fuel plan.
are they on a secret bonus scheme that rewards this mentality?
I was shown a picture of the gauges by an FO of landing below the 30 min final reserve, no mayday call, no minimum fuel call..the fo said he knew
something was wrong but was unable to verbalise it
pr comprehend it being fresh out of training...
In answer to an above posters question, yes Ryr still publishes statistics for the skippers fuel burn, and has just recently started to write letters to captains asking them to explain their “over burn” on selected routes with an invitation to Dublin...how does the IAA still sit by and do nothing.....
