At first I got carried away with this and had a 50%, a "Gear Pass", a "Land Now" and a
"LAND NOW!!" alarms. Now I mostly just use 50% and 30%. One or two may have lower alarms but I always land before they activate. I have landed with less than 10% but it was a place where a flame-out would not have been a problem. With the Jeti I just tilt the radio and it reports fuel capacity.
