- me too, but I thought it would be useful to be able to SEE the expected holding fuel allocated (or not...), since if it is (correctly) included in the PLOG in trip fuel (if only!!
) or some sort of 'fudged' contingency figure it would not be obvious.
I'm waiting to see how many of the 'they won't let me take enough fuel' come forward with proof. Like you I would happily operate into a CAVOK field in 'quiet time' with PLOG fuel - and probably arrive with a reasonable
excess. From what you tell us about the ASR policy in XXXXX I would assume there must be lots!
