requirements in subsections (5) and (7) are met:
(a) taxi fuel;
(b) trip fuel;
(c) contingency fuel (if any);
(d) destination alternate fuel;
(e) additional fuel.
       (3) The operations manual or exposition (as applicable) of a relevant operator must not include an operational variation relating to the calculation of holding fuel.
       (4) The operations manual of an aerial application operator or an aerial work operator may include an operational variation relating to the calculation of final reserve fuel for an aerial application operation or an aerial work operation, as the case requires, provided that only flight crew members are carried for the operation.
       (5) At least 28 days before using an operational variation, a relevant operator must submit to CASA:
(a) evidence of at least 1 of the following, that demonstrates how the operational variation will maintain or improve aviation safety:
           (i) documented in-service experience;
           (ii) the results of a specific safety risk assessment conducted by the relevant operator that meets the requirements of subsection (6); and
(b) a copy of the relevant operator's procedures proposed for inclusion in the operations manual or exposition (as applicable), in relation to using the operational variation.
       Note   Under regulations 137.080, 137.085, 137.090, 138.068, 141.100 and 142.155 of CASR (as applicable), CASA may direct the relevant operator to remove or revise the operational variation, if CASA were to find there was insufficient evidence that it would maintain or improve aviation safety.
       (6) For subparagraph (5) (a) (ii), a specific safety risk assessment must include at least the following:
(a) flight fuel calculations;
(b) the capabilities of the relevant operator, including:
           (i) a data-driven method that includes a fuel consumption monitoring program; and
           (ii) the use of sophisticated techniques for determining the suitability of alternate aerodromes; and
           (iii) specific risk mitigating measures.
       (7) For the purposes of subsection (2), the relevant operator's operations manual or exposition (as applicable) must include procedures in relation to the use of the operational variation.
