Thought we could enjoy a WINTER scenario!

--

QotM
====

For an IFR flight in a piston single, your fuel plan gets you to the
destination with 50 minutes of fuel remaining. The weather requires an
alternate, and the alternate is 32 minutes away. Is the fuel plan legal?


Scenario
========

You had a plan. You flew the plan ... to within 15 minutes of your
destination. Now it's falling apart, but the resolution could be only a
couple hundred feet below you or a few minutes ahead. Or, either choice
could be a fool's errand. Will you stick with the plan or go rogue?
