but you will also land with the 5% contingency fuel. This is the minimum required by law,
No, you will UPLOAD 5% contingency, but this may be used at any time after the bowser dis-connects.

Holds on the ground, weather divertions,non optimal levels etc. may all mean you use contingency fuel before arrival. The only requirement is that you land with 30 mins final reserve.
