We have to remember we plan our flights to land before using any of our Reserve Fuel.

Which brings up a question for the NPAS Pilots.

In your flight planning....do you start with a No Use Minimum Fuel Quantity that is in addition to the standard Reserve Fuel.....that being "Minimum In-Flight Fuel" at which point a Precautionary Landing becomes mandatory to prevent running out of Fuel while Airborne?

If so....how much Fuel do you set aside for that?
