I thought most if not all countries regs require a minimum fuel amount that would be above the fuel light level.
Not quite... I the US, the FAR's state you may not BEGIN a flight unless you have enough fuel to fly to your first point of intended landed plus 20 minutes...
FAR 91.151 .
Firstly... It mentions NOTHING about ENDING the flight, there is no regulatory requirement to "land" with that 20 minutes worth of fuel....
Secondly... Each aircraft light is NOT set to 20 minutes.
You can legally LAND with zero fuel... Not that I recommend it....
Welcome to the real world outside of flight instruction.....
