I am informed by the training system that it is normal flight planning procedure that the variable reserve is included in this fuel available at CP, i.e., if the diversion fuel to the EDTO alternate is, say 22000kg, then, included in this is the 2000kg or ‘original ‘ variable reserve.
is not correct in my experience.
the etp1d fuel calculation has its own variable reserve (contingency) within that 22t.
