aerodrome, in the case of a piston-engine aeroplane; but
 (b) not less than the amount of fuel required to fly, in ISA conditions, for 5 minutes at the holding speed at 1 500 ft above the planned destination aerodrome.
 (3) If a point of in-flight replanning has been specified by the operator for the flight, contingency fuel must include:
 (a) either:
 (i) 5% of the trip fuel required for the flight from the point of in-flight replanning to the planned destination aerodrome, in the case of a turbine-engine aeroplane; or
 (ii) 10% of the trip fuel required for the flight from the point of in-flight replanning to the planned destination aerodrome, in the case of a piston-engine aeroplane; but
 (b) not less than the amount of fuel required to fly, in ISA conditions, for 5 minutes at the holding speed at 1 500 ft above the planned destination aerodrome.
Note: A point of in-flight replanning for a flight is a point that is determined by the operator for the flight before its commencement: see the definition of point of in-flight replanning in section 1.04.

Division 2—Fuel requirements

7.04  General requirements

Fuel consumption data
 (1) When determining the amount of usable fuel required under this Chapter for a flight of an aeroplane, the operator and the pilot in command must each use one of the following fuel consumption data sources:
 (a) the most recent aeroplane-specific fuel consumption data derived from a fuel consumption monitoring system used by the operator, if available; or
 (b) the aeroplane manufacturer's data for the aeroplane.
Note: The aeroplane 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 amount of usable fuel required under this Chapter, the operator and the 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 aeroplane;
 (ii) relevant NOTAMs;
 (iii) relevant meteorological reports and forecasts;
 (iv) relevant Air Traffic Services 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.

7.05  Amount of fuel that must be carried for a flight
 (1) The operator and the pilot in command of an aeroplane must each ensure that, when a flight of the aeroplane commences, the aeroplane is carrying on board at least the following amounts of usable fuel:
 (a) taxi fuel;
 (b) trip fuel to the planned destination aerodrome;
 (c) destination alternate fuel;
 (d) holding fuel (if required);
 (e) contingency
