quick question on full consumption: for the purpose of "FREDA" type checks, would an examiner find acceptable for me to round total full and fuel consumption figures? I spoke to my FI who told me total fuel is 182L with full tanks and 32L consumption per hour. Would it be acceptable for me to round these up to 180L and 30L per hour ? say if it's been 20 minutes since engine start and i'm doing my FREDA check I will estimate fuel burn at about 10L so 170L remaining giving me 5h40 minutes autonomy. Since it should only be one leg, the impact of rounding on actual figures should be minimal.
