3 Eng crz

Generally a 4 ENG A/C operating on 3 ENGs will require 10% extra trip fuel. Therefore with even 5 % contingency fuel the is no chance of continuing to destination. However if an engine failed at approx 1/2 way to WSSS then if all contingency remains then there is a good chance if the require Alternate is close to Destination.
