Well it was great!
You missed a chance to demonstrate your competency to yourself.

Tanker to close to MLW, performance limited, as you calculated only to have extra passengers jump aboard.

A missed approach from 400’ agl on an RNP approach to a narrow strip back into a hold ( emergency turn if you like).
Land next approach. No ATC here.

Wait. The return needs a performance limited MTOW calculation for max fuel as destination has BKN 400’ with an Altn requirement.

Inbound holding, recalculate minimum bingo fuel. Check all weathers…oops Printer failure!

Shoot an ILS approach - visual 100’ above.

Park it, go home, satisfied that I am capable enough to best the usual problems and thumb my nose at those higher up with their gold stars trapped in their glass cages.

I am a Line Pilot!

Enjoy the challenges fellow Pilots.
