  1. Fuel Symposium Minimum destination alternate fuel:the « fausse bonne idée » Capt. Claude Godel OST 06-3

  2. Minimum destination alternate fuel • Present JAR OPS definition of the destination alternate fuel: • 1.4 Alternate fuel, which should be sufficient for: • a. A missed approach from the applicable MDA/DH at the destination aerodrome to missed approach altitude, taking into account the complete missed approach procedure; • b. A climb from missed approach altitude to cruising level/altitude; • c. The cruise from top of climb to top of descent; • d. Descent from top of descent to the point where the approach is initiated, taking into account the expected arrival procedure; and • e. Executing an approach and landing at the destination alternate aerodrome selected in accordance with JAR-OPS 1.295. Via a straight line?

  3. 5,5 NM > 40 NM Minimum destination alternate fuel Real diversion fuel can be much different from what would be sufficient to fly from the middle of airport A to the middle of airport B.

  4. Minimum destination alternate fuel The idea of working on a Minimum destination alternate fuel quantity was raised by DGAC France. OPSG came to OST 06-1 with a proposal of 15 min which would have been in line with the 15 min increase in final fuel when using a flight plan with no alternate. OST tasked OPSG to continue to work on the issue but suggested that a better result could be achieved by clarifying the definition of the alternate fuel in JAR OPS. OPSG agreed and finally decided that this could be done by a simple comment to NPA 58 “Terminology and Fuel” during the present public consultation. There is no more need for NPA 60 which can be cancelled.

  5. Minimum destination alternate fuel • And the OPSG comment to NPA 58 reads: • 1.4 Alternate fuel, which should be sufficient for: • a. … • b. A climb from missed approach altitude to cruising level/altitude; • c. The cruise from top of climb to top of descent,taking into account the expected routing; • d. Descent from top of descent to the point where the approach is initiated, taking into account the expected arrival procedure; and • e. …
