Spooky 1 said:Okay so where have you accounted for the :45 minute reserve as combining the Plnd Contngncy @ 2890, plus the Unplnd Contngncy don't add up to the typical :45 minute burn which is typically closer to 5300/5500? Does the 5000 Reserve fuel cover this somehow? I thought that the after burning all your Taxi, Trip Burn, IFR Altn, Plnd and Unplnd fuel you still wanted to have that 5000 onboard, but it looks like you have dipped into the 5000 so as to get the full :45' burn which is more like 5300? Still a little confused as how this is put together. This obviously a Delta flight plan format. Is there a CAL/UPS/AA/UAir/UAL version we can look at?
Thanks again,
Sorry. The :45 minute reserve as required by the FARs is listed as "reserve fuel" in the amount of 5000 lbs. This is the legal requirement for IFR reserve fuel only. DALs contingency fuel is seperate and not required by regs. It's simply a buffer that takes into consideration any anticipated and un-anticipated delays.
