EZY crews plan as standard if the following conditions are met:
1. less than 6 hours flight time.
2. 2 runways with their own apps on their own nav aids
3. 5000m vis 2000ft base
4. blablabla
5.15 min extra fuel
So when going to AMS/CDG/MAD/ why would you ever need to divert under CAVOK conditions?
Why not save the fuel?
Have you ever heard of anyone on a DIV from AMS to RHD?? 6 runways not a problem.
Its standard at many EZY bases to plan the fuel for the day based on the above No ALT Fuel reduction method. So min fuel on landing would be about 1500kg or about 1800kg if you did not burn your cont.
What many guys do is actualy not go that close to the wire, for example if your Final + Div came to about 2300 but planning with NO Alt gave you 1800 then you might elect to plan to land with 2000Kg to have a bit more fat in the system.
Crews know the ruels and have had the training and support from the comany and if extra fuel is required then it is taken with no questions.
No Alt Fuel planning is done by many crews on a daily basis and we dont run out of fuel! (YET)
