  "text": "Emissions shall be monitored by calculation. Emissions shall be calculated using the formula:\nFuel consumption × emission factor\nFuel consumption shall include fuel consumed by the auxiliary power unit. Actual fuel consumption for each flight shall be used wherever possible and shall be calculated using the formula:\nAmount of fuel contained in aircraft tanks once fuel uplift for the flight is complete – amount of fuel contained in aircraft tanks once fuel uplift for subsequent flight is complete + fuel uplift for that subsequent flight.\nIf actual fuel consumption data are not available, a standardised tiered method shall be used to estimate fuel consumption data based on best available information.\nDefault IPCC emission factors, taken from the 2006 IPCC Inventory Guidelines or subsequent updates of these Guidelines, shall be used unless activity-specific emission factors identified by independent accredited laboratories using accepted analytical methods are more accurate. The emission factor for biomass shall be zero.\nA separate calculation shall be made for each flight and for each fuel.",
