    I had not heard that, thank you for sharing. I just go by IFR standards or better for my personal limits, so this never came up.

      Note that those are minimums. The pilots I know try to be well above the minimums as a personal rule. Landing without fuel is something they practice in the simulator, not something they ever want to try in real world conditions.

        Ya absolutely, I never want a fuel exhaustion event. Always put more in than necessary
