- actually that was a quote from my post.
Since we do not have any idea what your experience/qualifications are from your 'profile', may I suggest you help us and talk us through your thought processes if you decide to hold at MAD until you reach FP div fuel? EG
Why are you holding?
When do you expect to commence an approach?
What fuel would you expect to arrive with at DA R18 MAD?
Would that be 'legal'?
Are you a pilot?

- the only info we have is in post#308 and the IAA report where we are told the min div fuel was around 2600kg, and they all appear to have waited until they were within a few 100 kg of that.
