Don't let them beat you down. I'd rather fly overgrossed than out of fuel. My


Three, reasonable luggage, and full fuel @ 100 gallons for the Deb is
not over gross. The 30 gallons in the tips doesn't count. I get that
as added gross but only if it's in the tips.

personal fuel rule has become: if I'm worried about it, I don't have enough. I
think it's a fine rule of thumb. I hate flying worried.
