FUEL POLICY AND STANDARD FUEL PLANNING (PART II)

Alternate Fuel

The amount fuel required to fly from planned destination to the planned alternate, based on planned operating conditions. The alternate fuel takes into account the necessary fuel for:
- Miss approach at the destination airport;
- Climb from the missed approach altitude to the cruise level;
- Flight from the end of climb to the beginning of descent;
- Flight from the beginning of descent to the beginning of the approach
- Approach
- Landing at the alternate airport;
- When two alternate airports are required, alternate fuel should be sufficient to proceed to the alternate which requires the greater amount of fuel.

Final Reserve Fuel

The minimum fuel required to fly for 30 minutes (45 minutes for reciprocating engines aircraft) at holding speed at 1,500 ft above aerodrome elevation, calculated with the estimated landing weight at alternate or the destination when no alternate is required for flight planning.

Note:
Whenever possible, a landing with less than final reserve fuel should be avoided which means, under normal operating conditions, final reserve fuel must remain unused upon landing.

Destination Holding or (Company fuel)

Fuel required to cover Company specific operational requirements such as Destination holding. Fuel quantities shall be based on the holding fuel consumption specified in the respective Aircraft Operation Manual.

Additional Fuel

Fuel uplifted in addition to minimum fuel and company fuel for the purpose of :
+ Covering Economy tankage or Through tankage
+ Proceed to an adequate alternate aerodrome in the event of engine failure or loss of pressurization base on the assumption that such a failure occurs at the most critical point along the route, and hold for 15 min at 1,500 feet above aerodrome elevation (ETOPS).
+ Holding at 1,500 feet above destination aerodrome elevation when a flight is planning without a destination alternate aerodrome.

Additional reserve fuel

The amount of fuel required for isolated destination, to fly for two hours at normal cruise consumption after arriving overhead the destination, including holding fuel.

Minimum fuel (Flight plan fuel)

The minimum fuel required to operate a particular flight which computed by the flight dispatcher, which are the sum of;

Taxi fuel + Trip fuel + Contingency fuel + Alternate fuel + Holding fuel

Extra fuel

Fuel required upon the P-i-C's discretion.

Note:
Carrying extra fuel means carrying extra weight, which results in higher fuel consumption typically 4%/Hour/Ton of excess fuel.

Ramp fuel

The total fuel on board the aircraft before starting engines which are the sum of;

Taxi fuel + Trip fuel + Contingency fuel + Alternate fuel + Holding fuel + Extra fuel (if applicable)
