Not included in FOD
No time associated with it
Just be explained in the remarks field

133
-RQR- (Appendix C)
The sum of all required fuel items, listed above, that must be on board in order to depart to the final scheduled destination
A fuel load less than RQR does not meet FAA/FEDEX-specified minimum for brake release.

US Holding Speeds (AIM)
Up to 6000' = 200 kts
6001' - 14000' = 230 kts
> 14000' = 265 kts
Up to 14000' = 1 min legs
> 14000' = 1.5 min legs
139
Clearance entering the NAT from New York OCA (11.39)
Departure IFR clearance constitutes the route portion of the oceanic clearance.
Once airborne and prior to entering the NAT, Mach # and Alt will be assigned.
140
Pacific FIR (KZAK) MACH # (ALPA Bulletin)
-Notify ATC of MACH # when entering FIR boundary
-Notify ATC of MACH # change of 0.02 or >
141
ICAO Holding Speeds (Jepp Country Pages)
Up to 14000' = 230 kts
14001' - 20000’ = 240 kts
20001’ - 34000’ = 265 kts
> 34000’ = .83
