Q

Detail of fuel planning ?

A

TTRAACE = Taxi Trip Reserve Additional Alternate Contingency Extra
- Final reserve = 45’ for reciprocating, 30’ for jet
- Contingency = 5% of trip fuel, 3% if ERA or 5’ holding dest at 1500ft
- Alternate = MAPt at DEST to landing at ALTN. If 2 ALTN take the greater of both
- Additional:
; if no DEST ATLN: 15’ holding at 1500ft above destination ISA
; emergency descendent following engine failure or depressurisation to an ATLN + 15’ hold + APCH, except if TRAC is sufficient for such event
