I'm not sure exactly what was meant by this but let me assure you - this is how I plan my flights. I make use of my GPS data base to plan for when I need to get on the ground - with the fuel the major consideration. I have no sympathy for the pilot who runs out of go juice - there is simply no excuse for it. I know how long I can remain airborne using the 32 gallons in the wings and judicial flight planning puts me near a fuel source at the appropriate time. If weather interferes, I stop early. Nuff said.
