The examiner asks about the VFR fuel reserve for a specific planned flight. The strongest answer does what?

Choices

• ✓ States the reserve rule and applies it to conclude the fuel needed and go/no-go for that flightcorrect

  Applying the rule to the actual flight demonstrates understanding, not just recall.

• Recites the regulation number only

  A citation without application does not show applied understanding.

• Declines to answer until after the flight

  The applicant is expected to reason through it during the oral.

• Guesses a fuel figure with no reference to the rule

  A guess disconnected from the rule shows neither knowledge nor application.
