AOTW: crap!
The regulation requires you not to use your fixed reserve on pain of criminal conviction!
I will not accept your invitation to debate this matter. CASA can stick it up its arse!
I'm not inviting you to debate, Sunfish. However, you're reading it wrong I think, and going off half-cocked on your rant.
It says in essence, you must:
1. Not take off unless you've planned to have your fixed reserve remaining at the destination
2. If in flight you won't have your fixed reserve remaining when you get to the destination and an alternate is available, you must not keep going to the destination
3. If you are going to land with less than your fixed reserve and you have a radio, you must declare an emergency.
