How to Evaluate Reserve Fuel?

Reserve Fuel evaluator uses Reserve Fuel = Fuel Load-Mission Fuel to evaluate the Reserve Fuel, Reserve Fuel formula refers to an additional quantity of fuel carried on aircraft to accommodate unexpected events or deviations from the planned flight, it ensures that the aircraft has sufficient fuel to complete the journey safely and land at the intended destination with an appropriate margin of safety. Reserve Fuel is denoted by Wresf symbol.
