Q

Fuel Plan in Navigation Log:
CON 00/15 2200
RSV 00/30 4500
RSV Time (00+30) is double the time of CON (00+15).

Why isn’t RSV Fuel (4500) exactly double the CON Fuel (2200)?

A

Contingency Fuel uses estimated LDG WT at the destination airport for fuel calculation.
Reserve Fuel uses estimated LDG WT at the alternate airport for fuel calculation. [OM S-3-2]

Normally RSV should be at or less than double the fuel quantity of CON.
I cannot explain why RSV is a little more than double the fuel quantity of CON in this sample
NAVLOG.
