for an urgent medical transport operation, an in-flight risk assessment, for the operation.
 (4) For subsection (3), the risk assessment must be appropriate to the nature, size and complexity of the operation, and confirm the operation can be conducted safely and is within the capability of the operator's operation.
 (5) Also, for subsection (2), the rotorcraft must be operated so that it does not create a hazard to a person, or property, on the ground or water under the rotorcraft's flight path in the event of an engine failure or other emergency.

Chapter 6 — Fuel requirements

6.01  Purpose of Chapter 6
  This Chapter prescribes requirements for subregulation 133.190(1) of CASR.

6.02  Definitions for Chapter 6
  In this Chapter:
additional fuel means the supplementary amount of fuel required to allow a rotorcraft that suffers engine failure, or loss of pressurisation, at the critical point along the route (whichever results in the greater subsequent fuel consumption) to:
 (a) proceed to an alternate aerodrome for the flight of the rotorcraft; and
 (b) fly for 15 minutes at the holding speed, for the rotorcraft, at 1 500 ft above the aerodrome elevation in ISA conditions; and
 (c) make an approach and landing.
contingency fuel, for a rotorcraft and flight, means the amount of fuel required to compensate for unforeseen factors, which must not be less than the greater of the following amounts:
 (a) 10% of the trip fuel amount for the flight;
 (b) an amount of fuel required to fly, in ISA conditions, for 5 minutes at the holding speed,  for the rotorcraft, at 1 500 ft above the planned destination aerodrome.
destination alternate fuel means the amount of fuel required to enable a rotorcraft to do the following in a sequence:
 (a) perform a missed approach at the destination aerodrome;
 (b) climb to the expected cruising altitude;
 (c) fly the expected routing to the destination alternate aerodrome;
 (d) descend to the point where the expected approach is initiated;
 (e) conduct the approach;
 (f) land at the destination alternate aerodrome.
established, for the definition of holding fuel in this section, means any of the following:
 (a) established by the rotorcraft's manufacturer, and published in the rotorcraft's flight manual;
 (b) established by the use of a fuel consumption monitoring system;
 (c) established by the rotorcraft's operator and published in the operator's exposition, along with:
 (i) the relevant data and methodology used; or
 (ii) references to another accessible location of the data and methodology used.
final reserve fuel means the amount of fuel:
 (a) that is required to fly a rotorcraft:
 (i) for the kind of flight mentioned in column 1 of an item in the following table:
                   (A) for the period of the flight
