does not make provision for the calculation of that amount — whichever of the amounts of fuel mentioned in subsection (2), worked out in accordance with subsections (3) to (7), is the greater.
Note   AOCs authorising certain types of operations are subject to a condition that a passenger must not be carried on a flight to a remote island unless, when the flight commences, the aeroplane is carrying not less than the minimum safe fuel for the flight, see paragraph 3A.1 of CAO 82.0.
       (2)For paragraph (1) (b), the amounts of fuel are:
       (a) the minimum amount of fuel that will, whatever the weather conditions, enable the aeroplane to fly, with all its engines operating, to its destination aerodrome on the remote island and then from the destination aerodrome to its destination alternate, plus any variable fuel reserve and fixed fuel reserve required under section 5; and
(b) the minimum amount of fuel that would, if the failure of an engine or a loss of pressurisation were to occur during the flight, enable the aeroplane:
           (i) to fly to its destination aerodrome on the remote island or to its destination alternate for the flight; and
           (ii) to fly for 15 minutes at holding speed at 1 500 feet above that aerodrome in ISA conditions; and
           (iii) to make an approach and landing at that aerodrome.
       (3)Subject to subsection (6), if the aeroplane is a transport category aircraft, an amount of fuel mentioned in subsection (2) must be worked out using the performance data and fuel consumption data in the flight manual for the aeroplane.
       (4) Subsection (5) applies to an aeroplane that is not a transport category aircraft and for which:
       (a) the performance data:
           (i) has been provided by the manufacturer of the aeroplane's airframe; or
           (ii) is contained in the aeroplane's flight manual; or
           (iii) is contained in the operations manual or exposition of the aeroplane's operator; or
           (iv) is contained in the pilot's operating handbook for the aeroplane; and
(b) the fuel consumption data:
           (i) is available from 1 of the sources mentioned in paragraph (a); or
           (ii) has been provided by the manufacturer of the aeroplane's engines.
       (5) Subject to subsection (6), an amount of fuel mentioned in subsection (2) must be worked out using the performance data and fuel consumption data for the aeroplane obtained from the relevant source mentioned in subsection (4).
       (6) If any of the data mentioned in subsection (3) or (5) need to be amended because of the issue of a supplemental type certificate for the aeroplane, an amount of fuel mentioned in subsection (2) must be worked out using those data as so amended.
       (7) If neither subsection (3) nor
