Use of the term “minimum fuel”
Heard this the other day, in the US but from a KLM captain. We were both talking to Norcal at SFO, he had just begun a go-around (no idea why) and used exactly that phrase as they vectored him around for a new approach. I guess he wanted to avoid being sent on a 20 mile downwind to fit in with the rest of the traffic - in fact they brought him in very close, almost like flying a traffic pattern.
