Hi Edward.

I think number 7. Multiply fpm by .75 for reserves is wrong. You need more than 45 seconds of fuel for the reserve. ;)
So shouldn't it be 7. Multiply fpm by 45 for reserves?

Another thing is to take into account the wind (tailwind = less time, less fuel, headwind = more time, more fuel). Or this calculated by the time between A to B and B to C?
Hopefully Lou can give you the info you need. I would like to see it too. ;)
