Division (d) F1F2

For helicopters, the operator must ensure that pre-flight calculation of the usable fuel or energy that is required for a flight includes:

1. (1)

   fuel or energy to fly to the aerodrome or operating site of intended landing;

2. (2)

   if a destination alternate aerodrome is required, destination alternate fuel or energy, which is the amount of fuel or energy that is required to execute a missed approach at the aerodrome or operating site of intended landing and afterwards, to fly to the specified destination alternate aerodrome, approach and land; and

3. (3)

   final reserve fuel or energy which must be protected to ensure a safe landing; the operator must take into account points (i) and (ii), in that priority order, to determine the quantity of the final reserve fuel or energy;

   1. (i)

      the severity of the hazard to persons or property that may result from an emergency landing after fuel or energy starvation;

   2. (ii)

      the likelihood of unexpected circumstances such that the final reserve of fuel or energy may no longer be protected;

4. (4)

   extra fuel or energy to take into account anticipated delays or specific operational constraints; and

5. (5)

   discretionary fuel or energy, if required by the pilot-in-command.
