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.
