Well, that's what I was asking. So I'm correct in the fact that it is legal.
I am thinking of the scenario where you are flight planned to LHR.
You take....
1) Taxi fuel
2) Planned burn off
3) Contingency
4) Alternate fuel (which for LHR would be approx 600kgs for 737/320)
5) Final Reserve fuel (ie 30 mins)
....and finally, if you are expecting holding based on statistical flight data then you take extra fuel for holding.
I still haven't been convinced that it is a bad idea. And I'm enjoying the debate.
JB007, I remember the fire in LHR. Now, some might think that is a disaster and it's time to panic, but I don't. Stansted, Gatwick, Luton, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham are some of the options. And with the fuel mentioned above plenty to keep you going.
763 and Eurotraveller. Well done on the research. Thanks for pointing it out to me. I know you may not agree with my theory on it but I appreciate you taking the time to post up the rules.
