Fuel reserve question

Ok, my friend. You put it on the table. Let's broaden this discussion a little now that the original question has been addressed (never one to be guilty of thread drift).

I was taught (at least under 121) that the dispatch release is a legal document and the only two airports you're released to fly to are the destination and the alternate.

If you require a change in the destination *or* the alternate then you must have a "re-release" from dispatch.

What does everyone say to that? Extra points for chapter and verse.

At the 135 operator I flew for, our op specs gave the pilots the final operating authority on all flights. We could divert to any airport we wanted to providing it was legal, without having to contact the company first.

Oops.

Guess I forgot that little detail.

That's what I get for trying to "broaden" the discussion.

I sure love flying part 91.
