In a far better place
Scenario… Departure ATIS clearly states, “Expected taxi time is 30 minutes.” … which is now a known fact.
Flight plan allowance for taxi fuel is 10 minutes. At least 20 minutes of additional fuel should be uplifted to account for the known taxi time as stated on the ATIS.
Contingent fuel should not be accounted for known facts while at the gate in.
Opinions?
