Q

What are the AV3 preflight requirements when an onward airport is not available for DPD?

A

The flight may depart but not proceed beyond the DPD unless an ACCEPTABLE Airport is available and sufficient fuel is carried on board to proceed to that airport depressurised and land with FFR. In-flight, if the onward airport is INTER/TEMPO below landing minima, fuel must also be available to hold for the applicable period. The required holding fuel is to be calculated at 10,000’ or lower.

Q

What is Trip Fuel?

A

Trip Fuel is Flight Fuel + Approach Fuel. Also referred to as ‘Burn’.

17
Q

What is Ballast?

A

Ballast is uplifted for weight and balance trim purposes. It is not included in take-off fuel and cannot be be used or included in reserves.

18
Q

What is Contingency Fuel?

A

It is Additional Fuel (when necessary) to meet engine failure, depressurisation, ETOPS, or DPA diversion requirements.

19
Q

What is Diversion Fuel?

A

For Boeing:
Fuel required from 1,500’ to 200’ at destination followed by a go-around and flight to 1,500’ at Alternate.

For Airbus:
Fuel at missed approach at destination until landing at alternate.

20
Q

What is Fixed Fuel Reserve and how is it calculated?

A

Fixed Fuel Reserve is calculated as 30min of holding fuel at 1,500’. It is the minimum fuel required to be in the tanks at the completion of the landing roll.

21
Q

What is the approach fuel for the A330?

A

500kg.

22
Q

30
Q

What is the Flight Fuel?

A

Fuel required, as shown on the plan, at take-off to 1,500 at destination.

31
Q

What is the Fuel Over Destination?

A

Quantity of fuel planned to be remaining at 1,500’ at destination. It equals preflight fuel minus taxi and flight fuel.

32
Q

What is Endurance Over Destination?

A

EOD is planned to be remaining at 1,500’ at destination airport. It is equivalent to Fuel Over Destination at holding fuel rate at 1,500’. Unles payload limited, EOD will not be less than 75min and 2,700kg (B737).

33
Q

Fuel Uplift for Normal Operations:

A

• RPT and cargo flights;
