VR: 5%, not less that 5 mins/50 lbs of the trip fuel

START/TAXI: 85 lbs

HOLDING: As req’d (600 lbs/hr)

ADDITIONAL:
a) following eng failure on departure, fuel to suitable airport if weather at departure would make return unlikely. Can be waived if suitable airport is closer than destination.

b) following engine failure at any point en route - fuel sufficient to proceed at 1 inop rate to suitable airport and arrive overhead with 150 lbs (15 mins) FR plus approach and weather hold fuel.

Question 2

Configuration Minimum Manoeuvring Speed
Flaps up…….
Flaps T/O / APR…….
Flaps LAND……..

Answer 2

Configuration Minimum Manoeuvring Speed
Flaps up…….. VREF + 30 KIAS
Flaps T/O / APR……. (Note 1) VREF + 20 KIAS
Flaps LAND…….. (Note 2) VREF + Additives

Note 1. If landing with APR flap, the minimum manoeuvring speed may be reduced to VREF + additives, once established on final, where the maximum angle of bank will be 20 deg.
Note 2. Angle of bank with Flap LAND is to be limited to 15 deg AOB. If greater than 15 deg AOB is required then 10KIAS should be added to the minimum manoeuvring speed.
