Q

How does delayed reporting work? What is the key number of hours?

  • Max FDP is calculated based on the more limiting of original and delayed report time
  • FDP starts at delayed report time

Fuel required from missed approach point (MDA/DH) at destination to landing at the alternate. Includes completing the full missed approach procedure and the expected arrival.

70
Q

How is final reserve fuel calculated?

A

30 minutes at holding speed 1500ft above alternate

73
Q

When can you dispatch with no alternate?
