See.It happens.Bet it will not twice.

That isn't even in the same category as yours, IMHO.

Don't pass an opportunity to try to make yourself look better.

I wrote this to show that the most experianced and well
trained pilot may become complacent.Even you sir.I hope all can learn
from
my mistake.

Un-fricking-believeable. Put it off on everyone/someone else.

A *smart* pilot would have found the first place to set down and get some
more fuel, when the air time said the reserve was going to be cut into.
The
reserve is to be still be in the tanks when you land, not to be used to
get
where you wanted to go, because of headwinds, or vectors, or ....

It is amazing what opportunities open up to you, when you declare a (fuel)
emergency. Airports that you could not ordinarily get in to, will put you
first, straight in, if necessary.

Good on you, for getting some refresher on planning. Bad on you, for ever
letting your margins get that close.

Anyone any closer yet? *My* finger is hovering.

That my friend is good advice.However I think it is easyer to judge others
than to admit our own faults .
