Just curious. When you say you take an extra 20 mins as required, required by what exactly?
Yes, according to the CAR ops, we need to arrive into Dubai with fuel for destination plus minimum 20 minutes. Some guys will add another 20 mins onto whatever is the contingency, others add fuel to ensure the contingency totals 20 mins. Which one are you?
Either way, both are not required as we often have 20 mins anyway by having a destination alternate. Therein lies your 20 minutes. The requirement was placed into the Car ops for those operators arriving into Dubai who may not have clearly defined fuel policies such as ours and, therefore, little or no alternate fuel.
