available;
 (b) the rotorcraft's manufacturer's data for the rotorcraft.
Note: The rotorcraft manufacturer's data includes electronic flight planning data. The manufacturer's data may be in the flight manual, cruise performance manuals or other publications.
  Operational conditions etc.
 (2) In determining the quantity of usable fuel required under this Chapter, the operator, and pilot in command, must each consider the effect of the following matters:
 (a) the operating conditions for the proposed flight, including the following:
 (i) the actual (if known or available), or anticipated, weight of the rotorcraft;
 (ii) relevant NOTAMs;
 (iii) relevant meteorological reports and forecasts;
 (iv) relevant ATS procedures, restrictions and anticipated delays;
 (v) the effects of deferred maintenance items and configuration deviations;
 (b) the potential for deviations from the planned flight because of unforeseen factors.

6.04  Amounts of fuel to be carried on board for a flight
 (1) The operator, and pilot in command, of a rotorcraft must each ensure that, when a flight of the rotorcraft commences, the rotorcraft is carrying on board at least the total of the following amounts of usable fuel:
 (a) taxi fuel;
 (b) trip fuel;
 (c) destination alternate fuel, if required;
 (d) holding fuel, if required;
 (e) contingency fuel;
 (f) final reserve fuel;
 (g) additional fuel, if applicable.
 (2) The operator, and pilot in command, must each ensure, at any point of in-flight replanning, the rotorcraft is carrying on board at least the following amounts of usable fuel:
 (a) trip fuel from that point;
 (b) destination alternate fuel, if required;
 (c) holding fuel, if required;
 (d) contingency fuel;
 (e) final reserve fuel;
 (f) additional fuel, if applicable.
 (3) The operator, and pilot in command, must each ensure the rotorcraft is carrying on board at least the following amounts of usable fuel, required at any time to continue the flight safely:
 (a) trip fuel from that time;
 (b) destination alternate fuel, if required;
 (c) holding fuel, if required;
 (d) final reserve fuel;
 (e) additional fuel, if applicable.
 (4) If, after the commencement of the flight, fuel is used for a purpose other than that originally intended during pre-flight planning, the pilot in command must re‑analyse the planned use of fuel for the remainder of the flight, and adjust the parameters of the flight if that is necessary to continue to meet the requirements of this Chapter.
 (5) Subsection (6) applies if a rotorcraft:
 (a) has been unable to land at the planned destination aerodrome; and
 (b) is diverting to the planned destination alternate aerodrome.
 (6) Despite subsection (3), the operator, and pilot in command, must each ensure the rotorcraft is carrying at least the following amounts of usable fuel:
 (a) destination alternate fuel from that time;
 (b) holding fuel, if required;
 (c)
