Narrative

A 360 DEG TURN BTWN FL300 AND FL330 (ISSUED BY HONG KONG DEP) ACCOUNTED FOR A VERY EARLY LOSS OF 10 MINS AND 5000 LBS ON OUR FLT PLAN. BY THE TIME WE REACHED OUR RECLR POINT OF GRINDS WE WERE ABOUT 13 MINS LATE AND ABOUT 5000 LBS BELOW OUR RECLR FUEL OF 65.0 IN CONTACT WITH CHICAGO DISPATCH SHORTLY BEFORE THE RECLR POINT IT WAS AGREED JOINTLY THAT THOUGH SFO WAS RPTING ABOUT 14 OVCST 10. IT WAS LIKELY THAT BASED UPON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE SFO WAS LIKELY TO CLR BY OUR ARR AND DELETING OAK AS AN ALTERNATE COULD BE DONE SAFELY. OUR EXPECTED ARR FUEL OF 17.0 WOULD BE ADEQUATE. OUR RECLR FUEL WAS CHANGED TO 58.5 (?) AND AT RECLR WE HAD 60.4. UPON ARR PASSING REDOO; ATC INSTRUCTED US TO SLOW TO 250 KTS AND DSND TO ULTIMATED 17000'. BY 85 MI N OF SFO WE WERE AT 210 KTS (FLAPS 1). AT 30 MI N WE WERE 11000'; 180 KTS. CAPT CONTACTED CHICAGO DISPATCH AND ASKED THAT ATC BE ADVISED WE COULD USE WHATEVER HELP THEY COULD EXTEND TO EXPEDITE OUR ARR. WE WERE VECTORED TO 23 MI E OF SFO AND TURNED FOR THE ILS. UPON ARR BLOCK FUEL WAS 11.0. BLOCK TIME 11:44; 43 MINS OVER FLT PLAN. SFO (WX WAS 16 OVCST 12) OAK AND SJC WERE BOTH AVAILABLE AS SHORT NOTICE ALTERNATES.
