fuel-planning

Contingency Fuel is planned at 3% of trip fuel or 15 minutes, whichever is higher.

Europe Ops: Extra Fuel

Flights to and from Europe include an additional 10 minutes of extra fuel, automatically planned by the system to maintain a 15-minute longitudinal separation between aircraft operating on the same airway and flight level.

Dispatch & Minimum Fuel

Pilots must ensure that the calculated dispatch fuel is sufficient to reach the destination without relying on contingency fuel, alternate fuel, or final reserve fuel.

Fuel Emergency

If fuel on board (FOB) drops below Final Reserve Fuel (FINRES), pilots must declare a fuel emergency and divert to the nearest suitable aerodrome.

Air Safety Report (ASR) must be submitted following any fuel emergency, including all relevant details of the event.
