Alternate shall only be selected as alternate if approach at the alternate or at the destination does not rely on GNSS.

If no alternate required solely GNSS is ok

For all planning aerodromes OCC shall make sure GNSS is available ETA +- 1 hour if approach minima is based on PBN

Q

Fuel planning -

What is alternate fuel

A

Fuel to the alternate:

-missed approach
+ climb to expected departure route, cruise, descend
+ approach and landing

18
Q

Fuel planing-

What is final reserve fuel?

A

30 min at holding speed in 1500ft

19
Q

Fuel planning-

what is additional fuel?

A

When flight is operated without a destination alternate fuel for additional 15 mins at holding speed at 1500ft is required

ALTN …. NO ALT

20
Q

Fuel planning-

What is ETOPS additional fuel?

A

If FOB at ETP is less than CFR, ETOPS additional fuel will be necessary

21
Q

Fuel planning-

What is NIC

A

Non icing correction

ETOPS critical fuel scenario is calculated with 100% icing.

If the are only partial or no icing conditions, require ETOPS fuel may be reduced by the NIC amount.

22
Q

Fuel planning -

What is company added fuel?

Q

Reduced contingency fuel is used when…

A

Weight is an issue. On OFP:

DEST = Basic planning
DEST 2 + RCF (3% conti)
DEST + RCF (5% conti from DP to dest)

Higher fuel requirement of RCF scenarios is taken
