I don't have the regs Infront of me, but to my understanding it states some jibba Jabba like the pilot In command must at all times have sufficient fuel to xx and land with reserves intact. Variable reserve must always be 10% of the flight fuel to destination (unless refileing which we aren't considering) So to burn all your variable prior to departure is a no no. As the flight progresses the 10% requirement reduces as the fuel to destination reduces.
So when you arrive at said etp, 3 hours away from destination, I'd expect 15t-ish flight fuel, plus 1500 variable to be remaining. Any of this could be used toward edto calcs
