Minimum Fuel @ Chocks.
Hey Guys, I have been reading this thread and i'm amazed at how much fuel some of you guys are landing with.
We landed yesterday evening from a Medium-Haul Destination (flight time 5.20)
and shut down with 3.4 Tonnes. (0.7T above MFR)
Which comprised of
1.Fuel to Alternate
2. 30 mins holding @ 1500'
3. remainder of 3% contingency fuel
a/c B757-200
I think that in this day and age, we should all of course be giving due consideration and respect to factors such as weather, notam's, time of day, etc etc....
But I think the days of a ton for mum and the kids has well and truly been left behind now
