B717 Operations/Cobham SOPs Flashcards
What is the company fixed reserve fuel?
30 minutes fuel at a consumption rate applicable to holding at 1,500ft above the destination airport at the appropriate Landing weight.
OM-A2 Page 4-2
How is variable reserve calculated?
10% of Trip Fuel from origin to destination or;

OM-A2 Page 4-2
How is holding fuel calculated?
The holding fuel consumption rate at FL200 applicable to the appropriate aircraft weight.
OM-A2 Page 4-2
