Total BULL SHIT. You're just sticking your head further and further
up your ass.
If a 747 needs 10,500' to take off, Boeing could NOT deliver any of
them to their customers. Paine Field, where Boeing builds the 747, does
not have a 10,500' runway. It doesn't even have a 10,000' runway. You've
been told this before, you moron. Maybe it will finally sink in. Go to
the Boing web pages. They give the performance specs for a 747.
Legally required reserves are the higher of the ICAO reserves or the
airlines OPSPECs. Most common is 1 hour, which is what your game uses.
