How about a little extra fuel to handle an unforeseen problem at destination, ie icing system failure or gear snag
- of course, if your company and conscience allow. How many 'icing' and 'gear' problems do you anticipate - at least one on each sector? What particular 'icing' failure have you in mind and how much fuel will you allow? Are you aware that Boeing on the Classic
used to advise a MINIMUM fuel state of 3800kg total for some gear malfunctions. Are you planning on arriving everywhere at GS intercept with that 'in case'? Do you risk getting out of bed in the morning?
