trip fuel means the amount of fuel required to enable the aircraft to fly until landing at the destination aerodrome taking into account the operating conditions, including (as applicable):
(a) fuel for take-off and climb from departure aerodrome elevation to initial cruising level/altitude, taking into account the expected departure routing; and
(b) fuel for cruise from top of climb to top of descent, including any step climb or descent from the initial cruising level/altitude mentioned in paragraph (a); and
(c) fuel from top of descent to the point where the approach is initiated, taking into account the expected arrival procedure; and
