I just think the 4hrs 22 Endurance and the 4hrs 22 EET looks too obvious, if you where on the jimmy riddle, why would you put that ? maybe put 5hrs 22 whether atc see it or not its just looks really dodgy.

I am really struggling to believe this FPL is genuine, as someone has already said it doesn't really matter, they clearly didn't have enough fuel for the trip.

Is anyone else finding it really hard to believe why a professional pilot with some degree of experience would be happy flying to an aerodrome and arriving with approx 7 minutes of fuel until engines stop working at night?? I was looking at the maps and if they had to make an approach via the North onto runway 19 they would have likely ran out of fuel on the approach....

They must have flown over the top of Bogota airport nearly into their Final reserve, it just doesn't make any sense
