- I'm sure they are doing a good job, but without sight of that report (preferably in English since my 'fluent' Dutch is 55 years out-of-date) no-one can comment. IE What do they mean by" below minimum fuel" - as we can see on PPRune, 'minimum fuel' appears to be quite subjective and sometimes quite over-emotional - below F Reserve/Below CMR/Below CMR plus some company figure?
