This is a good question and I anticipate learning from the responses.
And you have unexpectedly strong headwinds. Does that work? The situation was merely to present a problem and in this case,
you will be at min fuel arriving at KLAX.
But since you mentioned it, can you continue and land with less than :45 min fuel? Are you legal?
