Exactly why the fuel reserve requirements are too lax. An extra 15 minutes final reserve would be much more comfortable.

I suspect a lot of overrun on wet runway incidents are due to the pressure on pilots of having minimal fuel resulting in them deciding to do a marginal approach.

Who’s to say that a thunderstorm won’t be at your alternate or that it has fogged in? The amended forecast?
