does it assume everything works perfectly?
Well, yes.
But, does the required reserve anticipate the possibility of stranded fuel due to malfunction or pilot error,
So, how much would you allow for that?

Had that been my driver, he would have been getting his head pecked to RTB from the moment that first caption went off.
I'm sure that mine would be doing the same. However, as I've said to my CRM classes on occasion, "I will kill you because you will let me".

I still cannot comprehend how this accident actually came about.
Likewise. This is probably the only accident during my 30 year career that really got to me, because it just seemed so inexplicable.
