Capt cloud buster, agreed sort of. I used the example of flying to a non maintenance port a long way off.
We still don't have a figure for oil consumption. So dispatching with 12, what can we expect after a 5 hour sector?
No engineers on the ground there. Again we are talking compliance.
Of course no one should leave with that amount, but I'd bet the stuff would hit the fan if you dispatched with 12 and got to the other side of the country and found the oil levels below 12 for the next sector.
The place has gone nuts.
