PR,

As FB states, that's not correct. Block times are based on actual, average flight distances and average winds.

This certainly does mean that during some times of the year, the actual, planned flight time with no delay puts you over the allowable FDP. That isn't illegal. It is then up to the commander to decide whether it is safe to proceed using Discretion.
