if we think we are going to land with less than 30minutes of fuel we declare an emergency
Thanks numero crunchero
But that is the problem for us - nobody declare "fuel emergency" -they just get the company to call up and pass a note! Then when we start vector somebody else they can say "Hey, don't push me back, I only got 35 minutes too!"
I remember in our training are told about Avianca in NY (?) not using the right phrase and ran out of fuel -seems this is the same.
I think like Rule 3 says you either have enough or you don't!
Anyway thanks.
