	Minimum Fuel Situation
		In the period following the Avianca accident in January of 1989 (where Avianca Flight 52 crashed short of its destination after running out of fuel), the ASRS has seen a rise in the number of reports that concern "low-fuel" conditions.
		Flight crews tend to feel that a controller response such as the one illustrated above will create mounds of paperwork, and they certainly wish to avoid that.
		This flight crew never even used the phrase "minimum fuel", but their flight was handled as an emergency because they had mentioned their limited fuel status.

		Avianca and the surviving passengers were so enraged Avianca sued the I think I can't remember what;s the organisation called but the one governing aviation in America.

	Flight Safety - Airline Pilots Forum and Resource
		Unfortunately some flight crew are tempted to make their own traffic assessment based on the TCAS display, and to manoeuvre ahead of ATC instructions.
		Operational Flight Data Monitoring, known more recently as Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA), is probably the most important safety tool available to aviation, yet it is fully operational in only a few airlines.
		When a flight crew's attention is diverted from the task of flying, the chance of error increases.
