Can you "legally" divert to another airport?

How can you be paranoid with 25,000LBS of fuel on board at landing? It's common practice (in the 737 at least) to land with around
6,000LBS on board. Perhaps you were using another aircraft?

Helps to read the thread!

It's just that in early cruise it said there was enuff fuel for -00:03 hours flying time.

Never trust the report in early cruise... The fuel consumption is calculated from the start of the flight and the climbing take so much fuel:
the flying time isn't accurate until it begin to decrease after reaching your cruise level (it will be increasing first once cruising alt. is
reached)

Technically, the way FSP gathers averages in general is not very realistic. If I fly a very short flight (say 120 NM) in a 737, the average fuel
consumption would be MUCH higher than a flight that is 900NM in distance. Perhaps a work-around of the current system could be
created?
