DIVERGENCE WAYPT
WAYPOINT ON OFP FROM WHICH ANY DARP OR OTHER PLANNED INFLT REROUTE COMMENCES
DARP
DYNAMIC AIRBORNE REROUTE PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE INITIATED BY A REQUEST FROM FLT DISPATCH OR FLT CREW FOR EXECUTING A REROUTE CLR
DARP MAY BE USED FOR FUEL OPTIMISATION OR OPERATIONAL REASONS
EMERG FUEL STATE
ANY TIME CALCULATED FUEL PREDICTED TO BE AVAILABLE UPON LDG LESS THAN FRF
EOD
ENDURANCE OVER DEST
ENDURANCE OF AIRCRAFT AT DEST EXPRESSED IN MINUTES AT EXPECTED WT USING THE HOLDING FUEL FLOW RATE AT 1500’ IN ISA CONDS
ENROUTE ALTN
NOMINATED DPD DP1 WOULD BE CONSIDERED ENROUTE ALTN
EQUI FUEL POINT
POINT WHERE SAME FUEL IS REQD TO OROCEED TO EITHER ONE OF TWO NOMINATED APTS
FINAL RESERVE FUEL
FRF
MINIMUM FUEL TO FLY AT 1500’ ABOVE ALTN APT OR DEST APT AT HOLDING SPEED IN ISA CONDS
NEED >FRF IN FUEL TANKS AFTER LANDING
FLIGHT FUEL
TAKEOFF TO 1500’ AT DEST
FUEL OVER DEST
FOD

CALC BY SUBTRACTING FLIGHT FUEL PLUS TAXI FUEL FROM FUEL UPLIFT
FUEL UPLIFT
FUEL ONBOARD AT COMPLETION REFUELLING
HOLDING FUEL
FUEL REQD TO MEET SPECIFIC ATC AND OR WX HOLDING REQMTS
WHERE STATE PUBLISHES HOLDING FUEL IN NOTAM DISPLAYED OFP IN HOLDING FUEL
INFLT PHASE
