Fuel Policy

aN AEROPLANE SHALL CARRY A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF USABLE UFEL TO COMPLETE THE PLANNED
FLIGHT SAFELY AND TP ALLOW FOR DEVIATIONS FROM THE PLANNED OPERATION.
tHE AMOUNT OF USABLE FUEL TO BE CARRIED AHSLL, AS A MINIMUM, BE BASED ON: THE
FOLLOWING DATA:
cURRENT AEROPLANE-SPECIFIC DATA DERIVED FROM A FUEL CONSUMPTION MONITORING SYSTEM,
IF AVAILABLE;ORf current aeroplane -specific data are not available, data provided
by the aeroplane manufacturer; and
the operating conditions for the planned flight including:
1) anticipated aeroplane mass;
Notices to Airmen;
current meterological reports or combination of current reports and forecasts;
air traffic services procedures, restrictions and anticipated delays; and
the effects of deferred maintainance items and/or configuration deviations.
The pre-flight calculations of usable fuel required shall include:

taxi fuel, which shall be the amount of fuel expected to be consumed before take-
off;
trip fuel, which shall be the amount of fuel required to enable the aeroplane to
fly from take-off, or the point or in-flightre-planning,
unitl landing at the destination aerodeome taking into account the operating
conditions of
contingency fuel, which shall be the amount of fuel requiired to compensae for
unforseen factors. It shall be five percent of the planned trip fuel or of the
fuel required from the point of in-flight replanning based on the consumption rate
used to plan the trop fuel but, in any case , shall not be lower than the amount
required to fly for five minutes
at holding speed at 1500 ft above the destination aerodrome in standard conditions;
idual aeroplane from the expected fuel consumption data, deviations from forecast
meterological conditions, extended taxi times before take-off
Unforseen factors are those which could have an influence on the fuel consumption
to the destination aerodrome,
such as deviations of an indiv
and deviations from planned routings and /or cruising levels.
destination alternate fuel, which shall be:
where a destination alternate aerodeome is required, the amount of fuel required to

enable the aeroplane to
perform a missed approach at the destination aerodeome
climb to the expected cruising altitude;
fly the expected routing;
descend to the point where the expected approach is initiated and condust the
approach and landing at the destination alternate aerodrome; or
Where two destination alternate aerodromes are required, the amount of fuel, as
calculated in .... required to enable the aeroplane to proceed to the destination
alternate aerodeome which requires the greater amount of alternate fuel; or
where a flight is operated without a destination alternate aerodeome , the amount
of fuel required to enable the aeroplane to fly for 15 minites at holding speed at
450m above destination aerodeome elevation in standart condition; or
where the aerodrome of intended landing is an isolated aerodeome;
for a reciprocating engine aeroplane, the amount of fuel required to fly for 45
minutes plus 15 per cent of the flight time planned to be spent at cruising level,
including final reserve fuel, or two hours, whichever is less;
or
for a turbine engined aeroplane, the amount of fuel required to fly for two hours
at normal cruise xonsumption abovee
destination aerodrome, including final reserve fuel;
Final reserve fuel, which shall be the amount of fuel calculated using the
estimated mass on arrival at athe destination alternate aerodeome, or the
destination aerodrome when no destination alternate aerodeome is required:
For a reciprocating engine aeroplane, the amount of fuel required to fly for 45
minutes, under speed and altitude conditions specified by the State of the
Operator; or
for a turbine-engined aeroplane, the amount of fuel required to fly for 30 minutes
at holding speed at 450 m above aerodrome elevation in standard conditions;
Additional fuel, which shall be the supplementary amount of fuel required if the
minimum fuel calculated in accordance with... is
not sufficient to ;
allow the aerolane to descend as necessary and proceed to an alternate aerodrome in

the event of an engine
failure or loss of pressurization, whichever requires the greater amount of fuel
based on the assumption that such a failure occurs at the most critical point along
the route;
fly for 15 minutes at holding speed at 45o\0m above aerodrome elevation in

standard conditions; and
make an approach and landing
