Flyman35: Why would you need "fuel calculation" every 30min if you don't have an over burn or fuel leak of sorts?

TOC fuel is useless because it hardly ever corresponds to ideal flight plan burn, usually due to altered SID, vectoring, step climbs, or different cruise altitude assignment. Typically, your first realistic fuel check would be after you're settled in cruise, and about 1 hour into the flight.
