pilotday,

Lets say you're going to an isolated airport like Perth or the Seycheles.

You will carry fuel to reach how many alternates?

If you then get in the situation where you can land at your destination with less the FR+ Alt fuel, or land at you ALTERNATE with less the FR+ Alt fuel, which would you choose to do?

Fact is you EVENTUALLY HAVE TO LAND SOMEWHERE, so if landing is never assured, surley it's not safe to ever go flying?
